creating a torso in milkshape

[mario_64]

I was creating an elf model ( kinda like zelda ) and i decided to show how i create it.

Alright open milkshape and you get this:

make sure you have this option:

\

lets move on:

well since i cant really explain how to place every vertex in an exact place ill show you an screenshot so you just fill the vertex/faces and learn from it.

Save this picture and put it as a background liek this on the frotn view of course:

check you image folder and look for our screenshot and doulbe click:

select the vertex and create a vertex atr every white dot.

now to create the faces :

select three vertex then go to face and select create face or you can simply press F anohter way is select the face button in the interface select the three faces manualy.

your facew should be black but we want it grey so yuo go to:http://i320.photobucket.com/albums/nn355/lolx222/tutorial8.jpg

In my opinion selecting the faces manually is the best way to fast modeling but that's just my opinion.

now create face for evere vertex and at the end you get this: should be a plane of course

mine looks ugly cuz i already had it 3d and was too lazy to create another so i just made it 2d

Now lets make this 3d

move this vertex to make it 3d :

select thos vertex in the fron view and in the top view move them like in the screenshot.

good now it getting a shape.

now press crtl + a and then crtl +d is should duplicate our mesh

now go rotate the duplicate :

ok is time to snap and weld

i recomend that you use crtrl + n to snap and crtl + w to weld.

Lets begin!!

ill just show how to do one the rest is common sense:

remember leave hole for neck waist arms etc.

this is the final product:

sorry for my bad english.

look at the model for reference its milkshape format:

It dosen't really tell you enough. It simply explains how to position your vertices, resulting in the same chest for each model. People need to get creative and have unique chests for their models.

Also, make those images thumbnails, so they don't stretch the screen, and make the text more visible.

 

[mario_64]

This is to get an idea is not to make a model or upload it or something because they learn vertex faces and to model from scratch.

Will make screenshots thumbnails tommorow because its 1:46 am and im going to sleep.

Use a font, dont draw your words! It looks even worse then my handwriting (you have no idea ). You can easly make a nice shape in PS, just using the pen-tool, your circles are so ugly and make the tutorial less effective. Add some space between the images so it would be more clear. Some more explanation would be great.

 

[Hawkwing]

Well aside from creating a chest with the exact same vertices in the exact same positions all you learn is to place three vertices and press "F".

 

[mario_64]

Hmm if you want I can make the full body tomake it more useful? Since I just have created the chest too. Will edit the guide in a bit.

 

[Pyritie]

I guess this could be useful.

I know a better way !!! It's called go to Milkshape3d.com and pay $25USD for it and use it for anything XD Best way and it's cheap. I bought it and it works like a charm for all my animations and models

On a side note this would be good for people just getting into modeling. After they make a basic Torso/Armor they can then add more too it as; Spikes, Wings, and whatever else you can think of.

hmm, this way of modeling looks kinda unmoral and stimulates geometry copying. I don't think that a modeling technique which promotes creating torsos based on previous made ones should be accepted here. This is just like CnP is texturing, just with a larger process. I'm against this.

 

[mario_64]

Hmm haven't logged in a while and I think your wrong, because is this from something I drew, and its just like using reference pictures but in wireframe mode. Plus it gives you a look to Milkshape tools and and how to go from 2d to 3d by moving the vertex.

it obviously wasn't drawn. You are making geometry from another's wireframe, not from a blueprint. It's completely unmoral to do that, and teaches users how to replacte other people's geometry. Even if your intentions weren't bad, this is completely unmoral.

About moving from 2D to 3D, for that you use blueprints, not someone's geometry.

if you feel like deleting it... well I don't really care after all, youre the model mod and you know whats best

I'll leave that to the tutorial moderator.
