How do you turn tris into quads?

 

Are you using 3ds max? If so, you have to convert it to editable poly, go to geometry > quadrify all in the ribbon or something like that.
As for blender...

 

Haha, I'm using blender. Finished the ladder. The steps seem a little too close together:/

 

Are you going to make a interior?

 

Of course!

Although it might be a long term deal.

 

Going to have fun texturing.

 

I can't do that

 

What? It's so easy.

 

The actual procedure of applying textures is fun. The UV mapping? Eh.... not so much

 

Yer, I can't finish this project alone:/

 

Hello Fellow Portlander, enjoying our weather?

 

Hey! It's nice

 

Do you help understanding texturing and uv mapping?

 

I know how to texture and Venomox has a good UV tut

 

So I finally figured out how to use Mental Ray... First attempt at a shaded render.


I don't have any of progress on the van as I've had a week full of exams, and I've spent my free time trying to figure out how JBeams actually work (All I could do was crash the game).
I'm gonna update as soon as I remake the turn signals and have the roof done, maybe with the basic shape of the back already done..

I'm leaving the corrugated metal for the end because I want to try normal mapping them before actually modeling them. Hopefully now the front is done the rest of the body will be pretty quick.
And I've got a bunch of insane ideas for it once it's finished (no i'm not gonna make an 8x8, ever).

P.S. Does anyone know how a torsion bar suspension actually works? It's really simple and yet I can't understand them.

 

It's basically half anti-roll bar for each wheel. Read the first paragraph here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_bar_suspension,
look at this image,

Where's that tut, I would like to take a look at it.

 

This one? http://www.beamng.com/threads/6840-Blender-Made-Easy!-Video-Tutorial-Series

 

Yep, that's the one
