In see you put the modo screw tutorial to good use. How many raw polys for the whole mesh?

p.s. What i meant in my post was: I literally thought a benchplane was some old type of airplane, that's why i didn't check out the thread in a while.

sampson: Thank you very much

Adrian: Yes, the tutorial was just what i needed to get the screwthreads built properly, it was the missing link the polycount so far on the entire mesh is now 154,614 polys and that's distributed between all 57 objects in the entire model. So it's not such a heavy model yet. It will probably increase a bit more since i wanna add threads to all screws on the model but it should not be a huge increase in polygons.

That's just unsubdivided polys, the polycount will defintely increase alot more when subdivided to get smooth enough meshes.

render the goddamn thing !!!

The first HD poly of benchplane

very very nice work

[Maximus3D]

yeap, maybe it's one of the first.. thank you very much dec13. You're new to this forum ? i see you only got a few posts so far. Welcome aboard!

yes a little newbie maxwell user

many thanks !

[Maximus3D]

New Maxwell users are always welcome here

I ran a very quick testrender of the benchplane model with Maxwell now, all materials and the mapping is temporary but it gives a rough idea what it would/could look like later on..

I am waiting for the chisels, the wooden hammer, some drops of glue, splints and in the back Meister Eder watching Pumuckel


Max - Great model!

[RobMitchell]

Even for a test that's looking really good. The extra detail put into the adjuster screw looks really impressive.

[caryjames]

Max- That is looking GREAT even for a test!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing- this has been fun to watch progress- and a good advertisement for Modo at the same time .

wow looking nice. Is the silver metal a little large right now? Seems a bit out of scale.

[macray]

for the moment the galvanized metal is too large scale, but nice to look at nethertheless. The brass knob looks best atm.

I really like the modelling, but isn't it a BIT too highpoly? I fI see the brass screw - it is far to much subdivided in depth....

The model looks great and the wireframe pictures look sexy... so keep up the good work! (I'd like to see Pumuckel as well.)

[dec13els_fr]

nice first render, but i think the wood map is a little Rough, perhaps you can use a more polished map ?

[Maximus3D]

bejack: Hehe thanks!

Rob: It's all in the details that's where the secret to awesome 3d is. I don't know.. it's just something i enjoy when modeling. The more details they have the happier i am. Thanks!

Cary: Thank you! and these tests are no where near what i have in mind for the final version. Heh, fun thing you mention that about good advertisement for Modo considering i don't own a license yet. But if it can convince someone else watching my work in progress that Modo is a great and powerful application then my job here is done.

JC: Thank you! all materials are both out of scale and completly wrong for the model. I just grabbed them from my library of materials and slapped them onto the models various parts to get something decent out. All materials will ofcourse be rebuilt from scratch as i progress on this wip.

macray: True, and that surface should not even be made of galvanized metal. Polys could be shaved off on all objects but i haven't yet done any of that, i want all modeling to be done first and then i can move on to optimizing objects where it's needed and where it can be done without loosing any detail or shape of the object.

dec13: You're right, the wood is incorrect. It was a very temporary material i threw together just to get some sorta woodsurface there. it should and it will be better done later on.
