How can you make 3D Models from reference pictures in 3DS Max?

[jman420]

right, I was considering the suggestion of making a 3D mesh from a Z-plane image, but I dont think it would be easy to make one of those from that picture.

[MasterChafed]

definitely not, theres not enough information, as in, the image is at an odd angle.

[jman420]

thanks captian help's-a-lot....

already stated that it was not possible...

[MasterChafed]

dont be a $#@!

[MrTeressaBond]

ohh i see.

well i was aware that that it wasnt a good reference pic, i showed it because that is exactly wat i want the model to be like.

i can get clips of the film, and find more posted of that render at better angles.

and as i am a honest person, i am only a beginer in this program, but it is something i really want to be get into.

but if i was to make this model, i would need for it to be made in a professional time and work skills.

i would use this for the front of his body and head:

and maybe this one for the side:

and again, i would really appreciate it if anyone can or would like to volenteer to help me create this model exactly like wat i would want it.

WEll, i was bored so i decided to take a whack at modeling sephiroths sword, and i gotta say, i didnt do too bad, but i could improve on the texturing (this was my first attempt at unwrap uvw mapping :P ) tell me what you think.


edit: just checked and it is only 122 polygons :O Im happy.

[MrTeressaBond]

ohh, that does look pretty good.

if u want to model the sword at the moment, you could take it from this source as a start:

hope that helps. but its the actual character im more interested.

Got bored again, and decided to make a model of Clouds Buster Sword :rofl: tell me what u think.

[MrTeressaBond]

i think that looks good for a start of, cause you technically have everything there, but of course with improvements to make it closer to what the oringal render looks like.

anyone? or do you know anyone who could volenteer to help me create one?

[MasterChafed]

here is my improved buster sword, this time the holes are more rounded and it has a better texture.
