Who can tell the mistake in this mapping

you need learn the use ambient occlusion. well dont worry till then

post some links to your work or video demos

its been a long time too, after i met soamycite i dont think i ve visited this site. any way you did a very good job there especially with your text "LIVE FROM RED CARPET". no offence, but do you use mental ray? and do you model to scale. if not, i have a book i can give only to you alone about mastering mental ray. i think after you are done with the book your model will look excellent. here is a screen shop of the cover page.

oh sorry, my bad. i still left the parameter wiring dialog open in this picture. And here you have it.
it have just
1. the car body roll
2. the car body shift
3. drift controllers
4. main controller.
You can have other functions like opening doors, hood and so on depending on your story board. my story body requires just the following rigs i have just made. your could be different.

oops. i missed the picture.

and that ends my car modeling, texturing and rigging procedure for production

@ugo_2u
i dont know who you are but,

@soamycite
no i did not try it but if i get thinking particle,i will let you know. Did you succeed in the vray installation.if no let me know

vray is working very well.

@ jidesp
though i may not be able to help you much because i use 3ds max,but visit this site first
URL :
http://www.heroturko.org/tutorials/3d-tutorials/166091-digital-tutors-introduction-to-maya-2011.html
still on that site search for specific areas of interest in maya ie rigging,modelling and so on.
then you should use only the hotfile link provided below them.it will be slow.kind of. you will benefit a lot if you have a modem at home.
because you will get the files one at a time. If there is any other problem,i am here.

@ soamycite
I have got the Vray 1.5 SP3 for 3ds max 2010. Today.but let me confirm if its the right one and if its the full version or still if it can be cracked or patched. as for the thinking particle i will get back to you.

it was done with sub-division modelling. But a similar thing can be done with polygon mesh modelling.

take a look at that pic jidesp. Do you mean human modeling of such or more cartoony? That basic modeling,was made with a blue print.

sorry there is a little dash inbetween

it is full version but you need to patch it

for boujou 4 tutorials
you will need this
URL: megauploads.org/fileinfo/o4HwoKC9BI/2d3boujoututorials
if there any question, ask me.

@jidesp
for boujou 4 software follow the direction i gave soamycite in this forum.
For blueprints for human creation,you will need this website
URL: the-blueprints.com
then go to blueprints database, navigate there to get what you want.
Although i might not be able to help that much for maya tutorials but i will get back to you in this forum.

doing this movie by traditional keyframing will be the major problem. Motion capture will save a lot of time and energy, but the materials are damn expensive. The point is doing a movie with 4 persons is not going to be feasible- time and energy factor. Hollywood uses 20-50 worker even with motioncapture. And a little question,how about the audio.

if you need tracking tutorials with boujou 4.just make the request and i will give the direction.i am just trying help people this month.

Request for instruction on how to get free 3ds max related tutorials ,softwares and books online.

the lamborghini video was a seperate shot and there's no such road in naija where it was riding on in mr endowed. Again there was no shot completely covering Dbanj standing near the lambo. There was only a shot of him inside a car and a shot of only the boot part of the lambo. Boujou can help you make Dbanj lean against the car.

l will like to know you more anyway.Brother,Boujou 4 is just 40MB and is very easy to get.Follow this steps:
1. open this URL rapidlibrary.com
2. type boujou in its search box.
3. you will see results showing links to the software. choose hotfile link for the boujou.
4. you will be directed to hotfile.com
5. choose regular download
6. and wait for 60secs
7. click on download now.
remember to scan the compressed file.it comes with the crack.
, just a little add ons.if you need a way of getting 3d related stuffs online for free,text me or post something.there are 3ds max 10 plugins you can see for free.i have them anyway.they are owned by sitni sati.

, and giving more information about tracking,check out the Tasty Tom tomato advert you see on tv almost everyday,that is tracking!!! For a short tutorial on tracking for those that are going into vfx full time
1.type 'street race composition with boujou' in youtube search box.
2.click on the channel name 'FreeTutorials4Youu'
3.watch the video. It was done with AE,3ds max,boujou.

, and i finally got it to work again! If you know your rendering is tight,try matchmoving. Compositing your 3d product into a live footage with 2dm3 Boujou 4 .Boujou is a tracking software.tracking is just the trick behind 'film trick'(make to believe). Guys pls say something about this.i know some people already know about this, yeah!

To all vray_people.
If you think your rendering is really tight,its high time you put your work into a very nice software called boujou.Boujou is a tracking software,used to bring 3d model into live footage.sorry if i am going deep,i guess you people know tracking is the idea behind 'film tricks'(make to believe).You will see the good use of your work, yeah its time.

@CGking you can get fumefx,Afterburn and Dreamscape for 3ds max 2010 from sitni sati for free.just make the request and i will show you the way next year,2011.

which is better in making film animation- Maya or 3ds Max.What are the differences.

greetings and salutations dudes, i just wanna post this, there are about 2500 free motion capture data in *.BVH format (and their description) which can be converted to the native *.BIP format inside 3ds max.You can use it with the motion graph and the motion mixer to get your smooth animation.Realistic animation is difficult with keyframing and motion capture animation is expensive

, and we finally got it to work.Alright folks ,if you know you're hot in 3d animation, check out the animation competition at www.11secondclub.com.You will be given an audio file to download;make a movie out of it and submit it back within a month,

thanks OKX.i will upload something.its not really much.i think i'm really at the bottom of the food chain

thanks for the advice ugo_2u. I would have love to post one of my video.but my video size are bigger than the maximum upload size.i never thought i will someday upload a stuff like one day. Anyway i will try and upload some scene pictures.
