3D Swiss Army Knife
Thought I'd share the fruit of my latest (very novice) class project.
This is only the second class I've ever taken in 3D animation.

Certainly better than I have the patience for. You forgot to tell us what program you made it in.

That's good stuff.
Try increasing the specularity on the blades and body a little more, pull the diffuse on the blades down a hair, add color highlights to the body surface, throw on a specular map to pop the logo a little more, and put a nice chrome reflection map on the metal surfaces.
Like Alan sez - what program are you working in?

That was done in 3D Studio Max. I pretty much received the same advice from a friend of mine at work who has a degree in 3D animation, but I thank you all for your constructive criticism

I'd say the plastic handle part looks good but the metal needs more shine. Right now it looks like the metal has a bead blasted finish, while in real life a Swiss Army Knife has polished metal tools. Like this.Chardok wrote:Spiffy! Can you make it shiny? uhh.shiny...er....shinier?
Otherwise, nice work!

Lusankya: Deal!
Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either.

Pretty much the whole thing was done with extruded lines, converted into editable polys and ruthlessly manipulated to do my bidding. The UVW mapping for that Victorinox logo was a pain in the fucking ass to get right for some reason, and it wasn't rendering until I realized I forgot to check the Diffuse Map box in the Materials EditorShinova wrote:Is that comprised primarily of polygons, nurbs, etc?

Using Max, you could hav just done planar like Kant said.Dalton wrote:Pretty much the whole thing was done with extruded lines, converted into editable polys and ruthlessly manipulated to do my bidding.

Yes, but remember, I'm a relative novice with not a lot of training in 3D Max just yetMaster of Cards wrote:Using Max, you could hav just done planar like Kant said.
