How do I make units with 3D Studio Max?

[warmwaffles]

sorry for thread jacking

Has anyone made units in 3DS Max before? I know how to use it well and I dont want to run over to poser or something and learn it when I could have simply done it in Max, plus I have about 8 or 9 tank models I have built and I want to use them (fantasy tanks)

Uh, Kinboat made a J-10 in 3DS Max. It would definitely be possible.

As long as you've been here you really should know how and where to ask an offtopic question. This belongs in the main forum.

3-4 guys have made stuff in 3ds Max. Kinboat modeled in it, but did not really animate in it prefering Poser. For stuff like tanks, it is easier (by far) and faster to go DL the free Bryce 55 and do it in there. You just have to model it in seperate parts where the animation will take place. For example, turret, guns, missles and other moveable parts. Treads can be animated using texture animation instead. Since you do not already know how to make units in 3ds, I suggest you use it as your modeler and go after the shorter learning curve of free Bryce.

moderator, would you please move the last 3 posts into the main forum.
