LMAO!!!

[Nitro-x]

i'm LMAO too ,) LOL , wouldn't do that in a million years , i don't like spinners at all , not on H2 , not on any other car

[Nitro-x]

Heeey , that actually worked !! i mean i had some bugs in max before but it was like when i try to select an edge , it selects the on next to it and no turbosmooth doesn't work and so on ... the solution was so simple !!

Thanks aram , although i will wait and finish it before showing

[Dr. Feelgood]

Spinners only suit to things, 1.) Golf-carts, and 2.) Throwing at people (from golf-carts).

LOL , more bad news , when i was very concentrating in modeling ,i made a test render to see how was everything working together, i was looking , looking,looking ,looking,and about 70% rendered now and.......................................................
.........................................
.........................................
..............(silence)................
.........................................
.........................................
The electricity went off ,
i thought : big deal , i have already saved my work before rendering ,but it hit me like a hummer (H2) falling on my head from the 9th floor when i tried to resume what i was doing and stupid Max says : "Failed to open file." >:[[[[[
i know this could happen if i hit Ctrl+S and end the process or shut down before saving but i saved before that happened by like 35 , 40 minutes.

i Really ,truly , honestly , desperately need a solution like the last one that 300zx_9 gave me ,

People.......it's a matter of life or death (mine!!)
It's up to you(looking at the ground in very deep sadness)((

ohm... i think max makes backups every 15-30 minutes. try to open that, better than nothing

Check the folder marked 'Autoback' within the 3DSMAX directory....DAMN I'M GOOD!! *hip-thrusts*

[Nitro-x]

thanks dude(s) , i did find it in the autoback folder about 30 minutes ago Thank god !!
Check out this Giovanna , found it , liked it , now have it Cost=0$ (thank you very much )
Best thing about cg , you can shop for whatever you want for your car and never care about the price

So which one is better ?(checked out TIS ,a huge range to choose from!)

[KuB]

The one at the left is much better.

[Nitro-x]

this is the tire (obviously ) , i'll add more details later (like some small text on the side wall , the extra lines that come out of it ...)

[Nitro-x]

sorry for the quality of the renders , just checking to see if the suspension will look good or not , what do you think??
Raise it more , lower it or remove at all ?

[KuB]

Heh, the model looks good but I just don't really like this version of Hummer...
but keep working on it

[scorchi]

Love those big fat boots! looks quite high as it is, but with all the bits under there should look pretty coool.

[mpfive]

well, since you are asking for opinion, i say remove it all

[300zx_9]

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO please i urge you don't ruin it like that. No **** like that please just make it normal no monster type trucks because you will ruin your model.

[RedStar]

LOVE MONSTER TRUCK! lol. But, you might want some different rims. Something more monster truck material. I would go with these.

Driv Custom Wheels - Custom Wheels and Performance Tires at Customwheel.com - Driv Custom Wheels

[Nitro-x]

ok , now you guys are really driving me crazy .. some say Keep it , some say Lose it and for myself i'm not sure what to do , i mean i started to finish it as a monster truck , but now ...................... i don't know ..........maybe i looked at it too much and got bored , but my computer took the decision for me , i'll go with the normal one for now(Because the memory taken by 3dsmax now will leave me a small tiny piece of memory barely enough for renders) , i have (256 SD) Rams , you imagine what it would be like to model the chassis and interior ,

Im really sad that i wont use those tires (took me 4 prev. failures and 3.5 hours)
but maybe (for fun ) i'll try to make them a little smaller and see what it would look like

RedStar------->the rim looks fantastic ,

[RedStar]

Nitro - If you are using 3d max just vrayproxy that bitch

[Nitro-x]

i have Vray (just got it) , and i don't know how to use it (i dont understand ,will Vray Proxy just import [say the chassis ] in the final render only , and in the scene there will be the body and wheels only??)
Even if that is the case ,:S , i think the problem with memory appears at render time not while modeling , the computer will be a little slow , ok ,, but i just hide everything else and it works fine (or just 'show as box ' will do)

i intend to increase my RAMs anyway ......... you know what ??
i've come this far (for the first time ) in modeling a car , so let's not waste any chances here
I'll make one monster truck and one ordinary , and we'll put them into a fight to see who wins
Really , an animation ,

[Dr. Feelgood]

I roll on 22" with fat off-road tyres on my H2, so I'm all for keeping those big-ass wheels...They're a mean as truck dude, so don't lower it. I'd actually leave the tyres that size, but increase the rim size ;-)
