[chris912]

heres some of the chest crits are welcome.

[Dr. Feelgood]

Mate, you're 17?!

Very cool work... Post up some wireframes!! I wanna see how you've constructed this beast

[chris912]

Haha yeah, thank you Um about the wires this guy told me to do a printscreen or whatever and i know how to do it, but how do i render it with frames as a solid on max?
heres another picture...

To do a render just clone all your stuff and apply a lattice modifier to the clone. Than play with the settings, you'll get it

But a regular screenshot with a grey mat on the model would be much better than a render

looking good, looks a bit like Ironhide or Optimus, the dude who gets out the pool in the movie . What car, I presume its a car since you have a car like grill on it, are you transforming this into?

Here's a quick tip for rendering a wire render in 3dsmax without altering your geometry or doing anything much labourious.

Create a composite material, your base should be a standard material - white or grey. Then the 2nd material should be black with wire ticked in the basic parameters of that material. Don't apply the new materials to anything yet.

Then using mental ray as your renderer, go to the processing tab and enable material overide. Then drag your new composite material into the overide material slot.

Now you have this setup you can quickly switch between wireframe and your preset materials by unticking enable material overide.

Hope that helps someone.

Thanks all, i know it does look like there exoskeleton but im just testing things out, but its going to transform into a 1970 chevy nova. But thank you eddybrown will do.

Heres a wire shot

[RedStar]

Why do you post such low res images? Take closer shots and take off mesh smooth, nobody cares to see wires smoothed.

[chris912]

just some weathering test, getting the hang of scratches and crap

[RedStar]

Can you post a closeup wire with no mesh smoothing of the previous thing?

[pixelpedro]

Dude looking sick! can't wait to see it all finished, are you also animating it?

[chris912]

@ RedStar i will as soon as i can i havent been getting on much but i will.

thanks pixelpedro actually now that i look at it all, it looks like crap haha

[chris912]

hey ive been doing some other projects and want to come back to this one since im almost done with the nova, redstar i tried to do the lattice modifier but it wont let me select it, its not in the list

[chris912]

quick render no meshsmooth or anything

[tcsgraphics]

WOW! So far its amazing i cant tell much but looks great keep it up.

[chris912]

added another piece to the upper torso(pectorals) more protection i guess...

[chris912]

Heres a head im designing

[chris912]

Everytime i make a face it comes out looking like the bad guy
