tralala, for no particular reason I thought I'd release a whole bunch of my old models, dating from 1999 to 2002. some are really old and terrible and embarassing, some are unfinished. use them as background characters, steal thair parts, pick them apart to learn from them, i dont care all have been cleaned a little and re-saved in max7 format, all contain necessary textures (cept basic ones included with max but listed at the bottom anyway) so ignore max if it whines that some are missing cos they arent. Sorry to those who arent max users ._.

Wow... this is really cool of you, I have actually been thinking about getting back into doing some 3D, it will be great to be able to study some of your meshes being that you (along with Draven) are my 3D hero!
Extremely generous of you, Woo! There's a whole heap of great stuff there to wade through - I've been looking at building an Ark at some stage, and I'm definitely going to be using yours as reference! Funnily enough, I've got one of your really old renders of the back of the ship, but this is much better! If you ever want any of my meshes in return, just let me know!
OH MY GOD!!!!@@*UD~ This is like Christmas, but 10 months early! Wow, this really kicks butt. Thanks so much Weewoo, I've always wanted to take a look at your models to get some ideas on how to model more efficiently and just in general how to improve. Thanks again.
i dont think many of these will help with efficiency or improving, the old ones truly ARE old and terrible. good for looking at and thinking 'wow, my work is so much better than this' fortmax is a good example of how i set things up lowpoly and get the transform/pivots working before detailing hotrod's car mode, the quintesson ship and grimlock's chest are examples of spline cage modeling, a technique i dont use any more dead end and breakdown use the morpher tool in their transformations, its handy with low poly TFs warwithinprime is the most recent, it has some shiny materials and modeling and brazil setup.. as does pvc grimlock and rodimus's car mode the rest arent special.. examples of what not to do with chamferboxes, i think
Wow. I'm so downloading these when I get home. I love seeing how others put their models together. Thanks for sharing these.
Awesome move, Jess. I hope this inspires people to look at your work, figure out how it's done, and build their own kickass models in the future.
Just letting you all know that I'll have to take all the models down in a few days, they fill most of my webspace and need to go to make room for things like camwhorage and music and all my other webspace needs So, last chance for the downloading, peoples!
Most generous. Does anyone know of any converters to convert MAX files into formats for non-MAX users? SB
what do you guys mean by you cant view them? :huh theyre rarred max files. you need to unrar them, and the file within is only openable with 3d studio max 7+
Well, technically, they are the scene files that include the models rather than the models themselves. Which means even if you have a program that opens 3d studio max models, it may not be able to open these files. Like Weewoo said, only 7+ can open the scenes. Weewoo, would you be upset if someone (not likely myself, seeing as how I rarely use max, lol) saved them out as the model files and uploaded them for the people in this thread that don't have max, or would you prefer they stay as a max only thing.
I have most of them converted over to other formats already as I don't use MAX that much. It's up to weewoo though.
i would LOVE having some of these, but I only have Maya can anyone help me out if Weewoo gives the A-OK for it?
I am the ONLY SB here. I'd like to see these, only i dont have any of the software needed to see them
