..to post this in P.B.I ;)

Well, the reason for that  is that it's not done or rendered in POV..
To tell the truth, the scene hasn't been closer to POV
than that it is on the same hard drive.. hehe

However, the idea is that I will port all the models
over to Moray+POV eventually.. so.. it's not totally O.T.
I will probably make them available to all you Morayers
when I'm done..

There are tons of details left to put on it and a couple
of flaws that I will correct later..but..
I wanted to share my first real project in 3ds MAX.
It's a model of the german  Elefant  SdKfz.184..

Yes, it is..
As Im still learning as I go, there are parts that I will
redo to make animation easier.. but, yes.. most of it
is allready prepared for that.. :)

I picked this model since it doesn't have a turret.. hehe
One less moving part I guess..

Wow, that's something I have thought about doing from time to time, but the 
time involved, at least using Moray, kept me from ever starting such an 
ambitious project. I suppose it's considerably easier with 3ds ?

I wouldn't say it's easier.. It's different..
You got a lot of tools that help you but
since I have to learn how nearly all the
tools work it takes time and some trial
and error.

Some things are really powerful and makes
you be able to focus on the creative part rather
then the tools. Still, since I've been using
modellers before, some things are the same
or atleast similar. So, I guess I learn a bit
faster then the total newbie since I know
what to look for even if I don't know the
exact tool. But it's complex and if you are
not careful you bust the RAM easily.. hehe

I recommend it though. There are alot of
tutorials, good ones, that are fun and really
helpful when you start out. If you want to
try it out, let me know and I'll send you a
couple of links to some sites that I found
better then others. Discreet has a 30-day
learning product (that's what I'm using) with
all functions enabled. One thing is a bit annoying
though.. I found a couple of really interesting
movies on their site.. and I was looking like
mad in my version for the tools that they used..
It turned out that they've added those tools
in the 7.5... and I'm using 7.0.. so.. hehe

Anyways..
