Im actually pretty new to 3ds Max, but ill have a try at something simple if ya want (i.e. the pylon) to get myself started.. i managed to complete ONE of the tutorials for it..

xexe · June 2003

k kewl get rite on it good to see some 1 wants to contribute

Angelus · June 2003

Well, i would do if 3ds Max wasnt playin silly buggers with me.. i THINK ill be able to get away with using GMax for it... ive started, and save a bit of it.. just need to see it itll open..

know anywhere i can get some larger reference pics for the Pylon tho? coz i could do with some so i can get the ring right...

Angelus · June 2003

ok, ive had a quick go.. this took me about 10 minutes... and is nowhere near complete...

from the small picture that i found a couple pages back... its not too good...but its a start

Any feedback would be a good idea, so i know where ive gone wrong

im off to work on it a bit more, ill just update the picture above with the images...

Rellix · June 2003

The bit on the ring, you need to make more of them round the ring, maby 8 of them altogether.

Yea, im workin on that... ive actuallly started to use a different method to do it..

That was just to show the basic start of it

xexe · June 2003

looking good welcome to the team

Angelus · June 2003

<img src='http://www.frailart.net/members/angelus/pylon2.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image'>

Ok, theres an updated version of it. What ive done is made (originally) 4 large extrusions.. One of these was deleted to make the gap on it. I then added the 4 smaller extrusions to fill in the large emtpy spaces... If there too big, tell me, ill redo the ring, so i can make then smaller... altho that will double the polys.. its currently at 928 <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'>

im now going to (after my lunch) angle the extrusions in towards the middle.. then taper them to (almost) a point. after that, a bit more work, and it should be ready for someone to skin.

xexe · June 2003

yep alls well and good but what are we going to use this model for

Angelus · June 2003

it was suggested that we use it for a med pack .... but im not sure... well have to think on that.

And my brother said he MIGHT (depending how they turn out...) have a go at skinning one or two of em.

[edit] If you want, i can also animate the ring, so that it rotates....pretty easy to do, ive got it running right now if ya want [/edit]

Ollj · June 2003

who forgot my pylon?

Angelus · June 2003

ok, heres the model now, with a bit more work on it.. i could really do with being able to smooth some of the extrusions out, but with it being gmax, not 3dsMax, i cant find that (i know theyre essentially the same, but hey). If anyone knows, if you can tell me, that would be helpful.

Remake the Diamond,make it cylinder,then scale the cylinder to look like diamond.the Cylinder with 6 or 3 stacks,otherwise it will be highpoly.Diamonds arent boxes.

DocterJ · June 2003

Ill have a go at skinning some stuff if you want

Angelus · June 2003

Ok
ive remade the diamond.. Its now 18 sided, with 3 height segs.. all ive done is joined the vertices at the top to make it into a point.. That how ya meant Destroyder121?

This site will give you good reference to what the models should look like:
<a href='http://www.blizzard.com/ghost/screenshotindex.aspx' target='_blank'>http://www.blizzard.com/ghost/screenshotindex.aspx</a>
The pylon seems to be 8 sided, so make sure it's not round as your updated one shows.

xexe · June 2003

awsome work now people put some ideas up for what this model could be used for

BlaqWolf · June 2003

turret factory (duh)... it makes more sense cuz it'll power the photon cannons

xexe · June 2003

ok where using it for that

Azrael2709 · June 2003

Ok, I'm a new modeler and nowhere near the talent level you guys are at yet, but I've been working on a shield battery. Tell me what you think =). I'm not done with it, I still have to add little hooks at the end of the 8 things sticking out. And could anyone tell me for to make a ring instad of a cylinder? I can't seem to find a way how and its bothering me since it doesnt look right being a cylinder instead of a ring. Thank you.
