Re: Animation Previews

For the cars, we have been using a polymodeling technique. I found some blueprints on onnovanbraam, and put them into max. I then started with a single plane and extruded that bad boy around into a rough model of the car and then put a meshsmooth mod on it. Making the general shape isn't that bad, but the seams are a real pain.

Wires:

I don't know how to make those snazzy wireframe materials where it's shaded in between the wires. This is a blend between a plain gray mat and a black wireframe mat. Any suggestions on getting opacity in between my lines?


Salik, are you using reactor for those curtains?
