Nevermind :D

Make the gap between the two houses some kind of walkway with a canopy but dont just slap a primitive box on it make it more intricate.

Its a bit basic but okay.

That should help you. Learn to use other tools and make complex shapes and objects.

[mech]

Delete the faces I circled in red then select their edges with the border tool then bridge them. delete the faces with yellow through them and then hit the border tool to select all of those edges and then right click -> cap the ceiling.

Also go into vertice mode and select the two vertices in the middle walk way to the base and weld those down to the ones at the front.

[scout1337]

i dont get the yellow part :| i did the red part tho


make it more intricate

i did it to the bridge they look a bit cooler

[mech]

Delete all the faces on the top, once that's done go to the border tool and select an edge thats left over from where you deleted the faces off of the top. Now right click and go to Cap and it should create a sealed ceiling for your base.

[scout1337]

where is the border and CAP tool?

[mech]

Right click -> Convert to editable poly. The border tool is http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/3185/borderhl2.jpg

Cap is http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/2778/capsk9.jpg

This will help you alot. Watch some modeling tutorials and learn how to make more original models.

[scout1337]

i know how to model but only simple but yet cool things like bases i guess i found my talent ^.^

i couldnt model a map... cant model a gun for shit..... i CAN model bases ^.^

no offense but the base is nothing special. If you were to see the first models I made you would go blind. Never say you can't. You have to start somewhere and if your passionate enough about something and with practice you can become the best at it.

[scout1337]

no offense taken i alcaully WANT to hear i suck cause then i can fix what ppl hate ^.^

thank legionaire45 for telling me that :)

anyway um one question in the back where the 2 things turn how do i make a ramp? like in the CMT bases?

E: another question ...

i tryed every tool there is BUT move tool cause just like it did for me after awhile on #8 #9 just did it too my move tool dont work :(

idk y or how but the arrows dont show up to move it i can nly put my mouse over what i selected and move it like that but i cant move it up how do i gte the collored arrows back?

[Disaster]

press x :P

[scout1337]

OMG ty lol

[scout1337]

ok im gonna add a roof then in the back a ramp to the second floor any1 know how i can tell how steep the ramp is? u know i need it so MC can climb it so.....

[Disaster]

make a 90 degree angle from something like a box then target weld the verts and you have a 45 degree angle :|

Yeah that's a problem... I'll let you figure it out yourself. Takes common sense. You will never achieve anything if its handed to you in a basket with a purple ribbon on it.

Srsly though. I was proud.

But wouldn't it be more effecient on IM?

E: btw i dont get what u mean diasaster idk how to fix it ive tryed everything :|
i did wield, target wield, OMG i know weild selected? (if i can find it) can u at least tell me if that will work?

[Bastinka]

Unnecessary segments waste triangles..

[scout1337]

huh?

i know what u mean but whats that have to do with conecting my ramp to the top?

E: hey mech i did ur delteing then cap thingy and it didnt work i delete the top? or the sides of the top?

[Con]

This doesn't look like you're planning it out as you go along. Have an exact idea of what you want before you model it, it makes things way easier..but since this is your first map then it's really more for the experience. Don't release the map (http://www.modacity.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1480).

[scout1337]

i read that dont relase ur first maps thing and i already knew that because i know mine sucks balls lol

for now im trying to model as i go alone just as i do with a map but my maps suck ad i always get errors...

so screw map making im a base modeler now but until i make a good one these r so i get used to the tools...
but if any1 has a base idea ill be glad to try it out cause right now my shapes look to boxy :| and HOW DO I MAKE A ROOF? lol its not working
