aspiring modelers would find these videos useful.

cheers

Awesome,thanks frosty! I've needed something like this.

omg.. lol this guy is the bob ross of 3d modelling ive really enjoyed this videos. he got a really strange but effective way to model complex shapes.

I like Ichi's stuff, it's very clean

Here's an example of a rifle he's done for a mod. Why don't we see concepts like that around here?

Too bad the videos are in .rar format ah well

this guy has a wierd method of modeling but it seems very affective very nice tutorial

if i have never modelled anything before, ever, would these be a good a start to learn the basic tools? cuz ive read other tutorials but nevr got the drift. i draw, not model, and this technique kinda combines the too. would this help me start modeling?

it doesnt hurt to try fatal

I hadn't watched them when I posted them, but I can't really figure out how this was a weird method. I don't use max, so I can't totally relate, but this didn't really seem out-of-the-ordinary to me. I have to say, though the optimization part was pretty funny.

i find it wierd cuz hes starting from a plane and creating vertexes i dunno its just not the way i do it

some people said here that it was an interesting method. I didn't see how, so I asked. I'm sorry I asked a question. It was wrong of me.

That method beats the crap out of box modelling imo. Going to give it a try tonight.

*Be nice, or at least give us a break and take it to PM*

Heh, too bad this tutorial doesn't work anymore

Right day, wrong year

I've got all but video 7 on my hard drive, I'll see if I can't host them, but it will probably be tomorrow sometime.

that would be awesome. hope to see em soon

Personally I just use box modelling and face/poly extrusion.
I find it works absolutely fine for me.

Breakthrough is the master of threadcromancy. I usually only check the date of something. Anyway, I'd like to see these too.

yep.

...I don't find that kind of modelling weird. It's just like box-modelling but you're adding vertexes instead of extruding (which is kind of same).
Personally I don't like to limit my capabilities to one single method. That's why when I'm modelling I use multiple different methods (that one, splines, box-modelling and so on).
