Can you program or program 3D models?

I am learing java as well as 3ds Max. I don't know java very well but can debug and test a lot better than program. I cause I have 50+mods in my minecraft some of which are not totally compatible but I got them all to play nice togther. Java like I said I am learning as well as 3ds Max 2012 64-bit. I decompiled java and made small mods just for fun(eclipse). If I study code for minecraft and also some mods like IC2 I can understand quite a bit of it but need help understanding anything much more than basic java. As for 3D modeling not the best in the world but I just started learning and understand all the basics of making things in 3ds max. Do you need anything other than programmers and 3D modelers? Just curiosity but why would minecraft mod need a 3D editor since its blocks(unless you need like a person to make idea into something real to build off into the game)?

Let’s make a list of what we would need a modeller for:

Turrets, vehicles, fighters, escape pod, mining equipment (the the drilling
platforms, etc.), new mobs, battle armour, and possibly guns (they might just
be a sprite).


So if you can create models that can be put into the game
(say, for example a car), that would be very helpful, as none of the other modders
can model. And even if you can’t mod, you can give the models to the modders,
and they will add in the behaviour and what not.

And don't forget the textures for the models!

This isn't a typical job where you can just draft a few new mobs in techne and call it a day. There is tons of content that needs modeling, and it's not the sort of thing you want to be cutting your teeth on. To make it easier, we're setting up a way to import 3D objects so it doesn't have to be done in code.

You are? Then I'm making the models myself. I only trust
myself to get what I have in my head onto paper.

Also, I have done a concept drawing of the tier 6 core block. Currently, it is
going to be a door, leading to a small, innocuous room. When you go through the
door, you will find yourself in an infinite white room. And by infinite, I mean
all you can see is white, well, except the following:

In the whiteness, there is a giant floating orb that changes colour (I'm
talking about dozens of blocks in diameter). Beneath it (about 2 times the
diameter of the orb beneath) is a golden dome; made of pure Glowstone (It looks
cool in my drawing). There will be a constant stream of particles going from
the dome to the orb, the particles from the dome will be yellow, the orb's will
be whatever colour the orb is. Spinning slowly around the orb will be two large
metal cones, (about the same length as the orb's diameter) that are constantly
firing lightning bolts of into the orb. There will be a hemisphere attached to
the back of each cone that changes colour according to the colour of the orb
(the colour of the hemisphere will be the colour the orb changes to next.)
There will be a walkway that circles the dome that leads back to the door,
hundreds of meters away. The door and walkway will be floating in mid air.

Are you gona port the models in from 3ds max? Or how are you planning to do the 3ds models? And what else do you need besiders programmers and 3d models?

I don't know. Haven't researched it yet, don't know what will be involved. Probably importing a .obj so any program that can use those.

Well... Most all the 3D model programs I can think of support .obj for import and exporting. The one I use is 3ds Max 2012 64-bit student edition(I homeschool). Am still learning with it though and don't know anything but the basics.

I still think that one of the advanced ship cores should look like GLaDOS.

Agreed. Of course I, Robot core wasn't any better. Come to think of it everytime whether it be game or movie they make a computer core like that it goes evil. SO doing that is a cool idea but that simple fact makes it not so great. I was thinking about the computer on the ships to and a similar idea but mine was more server style.

You could just make it look like her but not sentient.

so, i'm learning to program java (finished CS I, onto CS II this semester) and have modeled in blender 3d (which can export to basically anything) for around two years. if there is anyway i can help, just tell me.

EDIT: i've also done some minimal spriting. here's one of the few pixel things i have done.

If you register a student(I did cause i'm still in highschool and my mom homeschools me) autodesk student website then you can get almost all their software free. I got Maya and 3DS Max. I have never used blender though but I know 3ds is one the most used popular ones out there(looked them all up) as they have used it for several movies and tons of games. I wish I could code better than I can but all I know is basic java.

For those seeking to learn more about Java, I'd really suggest you check out this guys Youtube channel. Probably one of the better ones out there.

Java Tutorials Oh, you have to search in his videos to find the Java tutorials, he has like 2000+ random tutorials from MySQL to C++ back to Java, this guys crazy.

yeah man, dude's awesome, I learned all kinds of new tricks for event capturing and screen control with Java thanks to his tutorials, haven't been through them all but they look pretty good.

I just wanted to check that you were aware of the Techne thing that lets you generate models. And Mackeroth, are you doing models now, or is it still open?

Techne is limited in what it can do. I think someone with modeling experience would prefer to use a real 3D program.
