Look at what I made and worship me! (Post Your Creations)

[Anouk]

WANT

Can I make some textures?

[MistyBlue]

Um, I know I never post here, but I'm dying to be worshiped... :wink:

It's just a building, you say? No, it's a work of art...that took damn near a month to complete! Now grovel, minions!

[Tchannie]

Normally I hate short hair on girls, but I really like that! It reminds me of the Rihanna hair in the Umbrella video. It's nice in a simple way.

[Feverish]

Gosh I hate the Umbrella video. I really like that hair mesh, Cap'n Berg. I actually prefer it straight down like that. I looks flat ironed. I would love to see retextures because I don't really like the current texture.

[Lorelei]

Let me show you my meshes!

My meshes. Let me show you them.

First things first. Good job on your hairs and meshings! Awesomeness.

(Building hasn't shown itself yet, I'm on farking dialup. I am sure it will likewise be awesome.)

ETA: Ooh! Building showed up!

Here is your well-deserved praise: OOH! AAH! Nice one.

I will now show you guys my first ever attempts at meshings. Behold!



Obviously, done in a class on Maya. I'm proud of the banana. It's a way awesome banana.

Frame was a simple extrude, bottle and glass a simple revolve, apple a simple primitive, banana a simple polygon. Textures all variations using blinn.

Not my area of expertise, was taken as an elective to play with Maya.

Got semi-adept at modeling stuff, but would have no clue how to convert anything to Sims. Also, don't have Maya at home, due to cost and resources required, and no time when at grad school to mess with it unless it is relevant to current class.

[JFederated]

You have shown us your meshes!  Your meshes are wondersome!  Go forth and do meshings!  For they are of goodness!

I am quite loving the wondersome meshings of the Nouk and Berg ones as well.

Yep, everything you've made in that scene are trademark first modelling projects (I think my first bowl, bottle, glass and table are still floating around on my computer somewhere). Very nicely done, though. You'll have a ton of fun when you move away from nurbs and start working entirely in polys.

[Lorelei]

Yup! Very elementary stuff!

I did do some polygon stuff, but apparently didn't save screenies.

Unlikely that I'll have another Maya class between now and graduation, but you never know.

You might try working with Blender, it's an entirely free 3D modelling program. I haven't really used it very much, but it looks to be quite good (and more Maya comparable than Milkshape) so you can do a little learning on your own at no cost.

I'm actually surprised that more meshers aren't using it as opposed to Milkshape, but I guess it's newer and there aren't as many (or any?)Sim specific tutorials related to it.

[Ensign EO]

Tutorials on a free program?  Would certainly mean that fewer people pirate Milkshape to make meshes.    I like hair meshes.  I am weak for hair, but only good hair.

Berg, the short hair reminds slightly of Orta, but a lot of short bobs do.

One of my friends wanted me to cut my hair like her, but I cherish my hair.  I haven't cut it since 2000, so it's down to my waist.

Why anyone would bother to pirate Milkshape is beyond me. If you're going to steal a program to use, why not steal something worthwhile.  :lol:

[liegenschonheit]

I have hair like those orta pics, only black and not so transparent . Only when I dont bother to blow dry it straight, it gets kind of curly, then it looks entirely different. I wish I could mesh decently cause I'd totally make a hair like that.

But I don't know how to mesh

I erm...acquired... Maya, 3DSM, and various other fun meshy sort of programs, including the easier to use Milkshape, and I still haven't ever really learned. Le sigh.

[lemmiwinks]

Who is Orta? Is the hair ever going to be available? In this case Google was not being my friend.

Mine either.  But I liked the hair Orta had, and I like Captain Berg's too, so I hope you release it.

[Captain Berg]

Thanks for the input, everyone!

I decided to play around a little more in Milkshape, the hair is now a more classic, round bob. I have no idea how this happened.  :lol:



But I kinda like the first version too, so I'm going to make a working hairstyle out of that one eventually (and of course Nouk must do textures for it! In fact, I demand Nouk makes textures for all hairs I might make, 'cuz I suck at them!)

I used to be more used to Blender but since bodymeshing is impossible with it I had to move on to Milksahape, and when I tried Blender again a couple of weeks ago I was completely comfuzzled. But from lurking the forums on Turbosquid I learned that a lot of 3D artists uses Blender proffessionally. For Sims2 objects with Blender, Lethe_S and JWoods has written a tutorial on MTS2.

Damnit, I wanted that "Orta" Hairstyle for myself a few years ago (not knowing it was supposed be called Orta  :lol: ) but the stupid hairdressers never do what you tell them too. They always took off too much in the front so the whole point was lost. I only let my husband cut my hair these days. It's free, and he's quite good at it.
