Post by: Sandman3D on March 24, 2009, 03:22:22 pm: Hey now, c'mon...ya gotta love a game with orcs, goblins dwarves and gnomes!!!! :laugh:

Seriously though, I got bored with modeling, started playing WoW with a friend...then got hooked. Didn't help that I chose a class that was one of the slowest leveling classes in game(Warrior). :P

But I must say, I'm having a blast relearning how to do a mesh then map then texture...although it took me six hours yesterday to figure out how to apply and map a texture in gmax...different from max5 just enough...it was staring me in the face and I didn't see it. :hoppin: Ah well, I got a decent Lost Era saucer going, that I'm texturing as I go, so if my test run goes ok, you might just see a new Lost Era ship. :drinkinsong:

sand, think you might be willing to help me out with mapping in gmax.... i suck

Lets see how I do 1st, lol...I only figured out how to apply and do a basic map...tweaking it for texturing....well let's just say it's ok but there's more to it....must find it....(obsessive behaviour alert) :crazy2:

Seriously tho, lemme go thru it a few more times...heh, I have not 1 but 2 backups on the mesh just in case...with my luck I'll skewer at least one copy before I have it down. ::)

BTW, is there an ftl checker on gmax? I think that's what it is...u know the thing to chk for and fix mesh errors? Not sure if it's the ftl checker...dam it's been so long...but it's so fun re-learning this stuff...now I remember why I was so into it a few years ago. ;D

No on the ftl check but you will be happy to know that the bolean function works better in gmax and usually doesn't create errors. You should see them if it does ;).

Post by: Lieutenant_Q on March 25, 2009, 10:47:13 pm: C'mon...my favorite class is the warrior... ok it helps that he's an engineer also, but still. I do wish that WoW would make my AoE attacks AoEs... I mean, Thunderclap and Whirlwind that only hits 4 targets? WTF?
Title: Re: Hi all remember me?
Post by: Sandman3D on March 26, 2009, 11:53:48 am: My favorite also...got him to lvl 71...then of course there was the "gee-whiz" class of the DK that grabbed me for awhile...he's 75...but it's a toss up whick of my alts will be 1st to hit 80...32 rogue or 35 paladin...btw all my toons r horde...."FOR THE HORDE!!"

...Oh wait...I'm on SFC now...For the Federation!!....lol
