As soon as I have finished my electrical ship in Sketch up, I will do a the same ship in Gmax or a big factory trawler.
The decision is up to you.
The picture is of an ugly rusten russian trawler, but it will not look like that one

Even though i voted for the Cruise Ship, i've changed my mind - a big Trawler like that russian one would be nice - the front of the russian trawler you showed us looks like the Elbe to me

Minime · « **Reply #2 on:** July 03, 2008, 17:05:23 »

I think I'll just make them both, but I'll model the one who get's most votes first

Minime · « **Reply #3 on:** July 06, 2008, 22:05:19 »

Well it looks like most people like the trawler, so that's what I'm going to make, it will be like or maybe one of the trawlers in Faroe Island, I'll show you an example

I'll suggest against the vessel you posted on the top because it's textures would be very had to do.

Minime · « **Reply #5 on:** July 07, 2008, 01:16:11 »

you meen the russian one? the trawler will be more like the last pic but not the same

llamalord · « **Reply #6 on:** July 07, 2008, 13:22:52 »

Ya, Ok that's good... I like that one better anyway.

You got it but you don't know how to use it?

You have a Help section on the menu line.
You need to start reading and use the Help section if you want to know how to use it, just the same way as you do to know how to use a remote control for your television...

If you cannot do that you will NEVER understand how to use Gmax. Got it?
I don't want to write a long post about this but why the *** doesn't people read the owners manual before they start to use stuff?

Mohahaha...yeah right!
Did you download gmax12_help.exe and gmax12_turorials.exe from this site http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax (http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax). Because if you didn't that explains your problem sir!

While your there "Turbo Squid" Also makes a bunch of tools for us modelers too, And also it has just about the coolest name in the whole world.

I installed the help and tutorial files
I restarted my pc
I start up Gmax
I go to Help>Tutorials
I get the hour glass mouse icon for less than half a second
And nothing happens

Did I miss something?

Yeah...you did!

Let's say that I got a disk on station D. Then my address to gmax at this station will be D:\gmax.
Both installation dialogs ask you to unzip the files. In this case I must click the browse button to D:\gmax and select the folder "gmax". Then in this example it will work.

So you need to find out what station and location on your PC where you installed Gmax. The simple way to do this is to run Gmax, at the menu line: Customize > Preferences > Configure Paths.... There you will find out where Gmax is installed at your PC. Then after you run these exe files again and makes the installer to install the content at the right place.

And BTW: You can go directly to the folder D:\gmax\Help and click the file "gmax" with the yellow question icon to open the help document.

You unzip the files to that location. You don't have to save the exe-files to the location. How hard can it be?

RMS Gigantic · « **Reply #19 on:** July 09, 2008, 10:40:04 »

Very if you're as clueless as I am

JHB · « **Reply #20 on:** July 09, 2008, 10:43:24 »

Can anyone of the "computer scientists" here help us? Terry...where the * are you?

RMS Gigantic · « **Reply #21 on:** July 09, 2008, 10:49:04 »

I can unzip files, but where do I put them? The files are currently unzipped in the Help Folder

but they don't work there

JHB · « **Reply #22 on:** July 09, 2008, 10:53:52 »

Here is my Help folder in D:\gmax\Help

RMS Gigantic · « **Reply #23 on:** July 09, 2008, 11:03:39 »

So the files I downloaded are useless?
