JORGEMAL Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Are there any sources to learn 3DWS (books, videos, tutorials, etc.)? I found 2 videos but they are very limited. Regards, Jorge Maldonado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canardia Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Think solid. Everything you do is solid. Carve them, cut things out of them. That's the true power of CSG. Make a box, carve out the interior as a box, and it gets hollow. You have a room. Make a roof with 2 slant boxes, make the ending pieces as a box and carve the grouped roof out of them. Delete the carve remains. The more efficient you think, the easier your modelling gets. CSG is just a tool, but it adapts to every way of thinking.

Pixel Perfect Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Arteria3D did a nice video tutorial years ago showing you how to construct a medieval house from scratch, it touched on most of the features of 3DWS including some of the less obvious ones. Might be worth an email to Steve at Arteria to see if it's still available.

Canardia Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I made a simple cube model with some subdivision to stretch out in Blender, and it seems Blender has the same bug as 3DSMax: it flips randomly faces inside out, and you can't see it in Blender/3DSMax. Why don't they learn to show models how they really are in modellers, but show instead some fake model to hide their bugs. In 3DWS, I would have done the same model in 5 minutes, which took me hours in Blender with all the exporting and converting to UU3D and fixing and flipping faces, and recreating faces, etc....

cassius Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Blender is for masochists. I learned 3dws in a couple of nights without reading the help files which were not much help anyway, but I had previously used the map builder in Quill 3d which worked in a similar way to 3dws.

flachdrache Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Its everything the same basically - so you could wade through tutorials about Worldcraft, UnrealEd and/or the qRadiant (the more early though). The real advantage you might gain, is how one has to processes the world model(s) and thats something which can only be "figured out" by the time you (can) spend with it.
