Gmax Design Help

**RyanbATC** · 09-29-2003, 11:24 AM

Does anyone know where to find tutorials for building planes in Gmax? I have some "time" with building scenery files and texturing them but planes always seemed a lot harder to make. Obvisouly some people know how to use Gmax very well. Does it take a long time to learn the basics of building planes? Can anyone direct me to some web sites for specifically plane modeling???
Thanks a ton!

This forum is good for questions.

BLATANT PLUG WARNING!
Tutorials Tips, aplenty at Freeflight Design Shop (http://www.freeflightdedsign.com)

There's the (in)famous gmax P-38 tutorial from discreet (also available by clinking above) - other than it's reversed, and has no gear - it shows you the basics.

Obviously you're familiar with the program, so the "Stupid Idiot's Guide to Making a Flight SImulator Airplane with gmax" is the overall best bet.

The FFDS site has other - part specific - tutorials (and or links to them)

GMax is a scaled-down-version of 3D Studio Max4, so you will be able to learn from tutorials (and books) for Max4. The main differences are the rudimentary Material editor and the lack of rendering facilities in GMax. ;)
