Can you not just use the demo version for a short while?

Thanks for all of your help, guys!  I showed up at the school at 7.15 to make sure I was the first one in to get a computer at 8 (blargh) and made a neat little 3D file aptly titled "bug hump."  :lol:   I got it turned in on time, got a few extra hours of sleep, and came home to fix my computer during the 2 hours between my afternoon class and my evening class.  (After losing some time working on it to troubleshoot, I decided to reinstall... it took me almost an hour to find the disc I have 3DS stored on.)  Again, thank you all for helping me out, and I'm happy to say that things turned out alright for me!

 Actually, no.  ^-^  I really was desperately looking for help the other night, I'm sure you probably know how it is when you've got a project due the next day and your programs start crashing.  I was happy that people were so quick to offer advice (ya'll are nicer than on most forums) and I'm very pleased that the situation turned out so well for me.  ^-^;  I'm sorry that you don't like me.

I doubt that's true. More likely Roanoke was simply surprised you turned out to be genuine :)

Anyway we're always happy to have another modeller in the community. And more females = more potential female voice actoresses.

Stick around :)

 When I get it skinned I'll show it off.  I'm not too great at 3D, though... I'm better with my tablet (Tabby the Tablet, it's my best friend) and Photoshop than I am with 3DS.  I'm hoping to get better.  I'm not as new at skinning/texturing/whatever you wanna call it as I am at modelling so I'm hoping I can make it look better... dunno.  Would be nice.  ^_^

We need good texturers more than modellers actually :)

Might be worth moving this to the art forum unless you're planning to but the giant insect into the game though. (Wouldn't be the first time either).

[color=66ff00]Welcome Lifa.

Concerning the 'liberated' copies of max... I'd have to say that it's nothing we have to worry about. If someone was openly linking to a copy that would be banning material.

I'd say a rather huge proportion of computer users have one or more pieces of so called illegal software on their computers even if it is only a no-CD crack or the like.

Inded. Nothing personal Lifa. See this kind of thing alot on modeling sites.

Actually, I managed to delete 9 of my 10 object project the night it was due and saved the friggin scene!!! Had to dash home and grab a back up. :nervous:

 I'm not advanced enough to put anything into a game, although I hope that one of my classes in the upcoming semesters will teach that (I'm actually in college for video game design, one of about 5 girls in the major).  ^_^;  I can't even animate 3D.  2D--no problem.  I've actually been working on the script and concept art for an animated movie that my friend and I are collaborating on for the past six years and am now starting to animate pieces of it.  I could provide you guys with the files for it, though, and as long as you don't steal it and claim for your own (I don't see why you'd want to) you'd be welcome to animate it or put it in any game that you'd like.

Also, concerning liberated software (directed towards Maeglamor) as far as I understand it with artistic tools such as 3DS and Photoshop, etc., the companies don't really care about liberated or not liberated until you start trying to make a profit off of things that you've done in the program--which I never have.  ^_^

Anyways, as far as texturing goes, throw something at me and I'll give it a shot when I get some free time (which, I'll admit, isn't often--I goto school 3 days a week and work the other 4.  I'm a full-time employee.  10 hours a day for 4 consecutive days is rough.)  But yeah, give me something and I'll do my best shot at retexturing it.

well I didn't want to make terrorism:) (I use too that kind of software), I just seemed to remember some old threads where discussion derailed too much on those arguments, and I know many other forums where you are always at ban risk talking of pirated progs

have you played freespace or fs2, as a future video game designer I'm assuming that you appreciate a well put together game, it's a little old but the guys in SCP have made some amazing improvements to the graphics and effects and the gameplay has always rocked.

Wouldn't be the first bug we've seen in Freespace!

Animation code for the shell and wings?

And glad that your class project turned out alright. Welcome, and I think you'd do best to familiarize yourself with Freespace 2. 'Cause now you're trapped :devil:

Eep.  It was a SEAMLESS model.  It doesn't have seperate parts like shells and wings.

Hi again folks.  ^-^  I'm going to be taking awhile to texture my insect project well so that I can post it up here and show off (to people who are likely 100 times better than me.)

Regarding 'liberated software' I'd like to point out that everything on my PC has been liberated. Windows 2000. Windows XP. (both Professional). Photoshop (although my Wacom did come with CS, so meh). Nero. Trillian. Max 5 (lost) 6, and 7. Truespace 6.6. 3dexploration.

So yeah. If that was banworthy, I'd be long gone :p
