Adding an M16: Part 2 – Geometry Rigging
Mar 8th
Important Note:
During the video, I mention that all weapons point down the Y axis. I was basing this knowledge off of the Shock Rifle, which turns out is coded to be rotated to be facing down the X axis like the Rocket Launcher. Your model can face down any axis in 3DS Max, but make sure that after you import it that it faces down the X axis using the Rot Origin properties. You can leave it facing in the Y axis if you want, as adjusting the rotation in the weapon’s code is also really easy to do too and I will go over how to do so in the code part of this tutorial series.

Material and Lighting Final – 3 Weeks Before Due
Sep 3rd
So, I started work on my Final for my class Material and Lighting. The assignment is to create a Traditional Japanese Interior. Yeah. The textures I’ve used here are temporary just to get a concept in my head visualized, and will be overhauled and stuff. I’m envisioning blood. Anyways, not much else to say, here we go:
Material and Lighting: Midterm Complete
Aug 12th
Okay… so… yeah there is lots of stuff I can fix with it; but I am really content with it as is and I believe it is well more than enough for the midterm for Material and Lighting.
So if you haven’t read my previous post, I used a 20-hour-free render farm @ http://www.renderrocket.com to render this in less than a half hour. It took 14.7 hours of processing time.
I managed to resend my project through the farm, and it still had some discolored stripe issues; but I realized that I can requeue those strips before the project is done and that generally solves the problem. Render Rocket is sooo user friendly, its an incredible service.
So, no more talk, here is my render!
