My Minecraft Rig (3DS MAX)

i used 3ds max and NVIDIA APEX for the cloth witch is far better than 3ds max inbuilt cloth sim witch never works.

i made the intire thing my self ofc its inspired by the works that captain sparkles and BootstrapBuckaroo did.

I have, the pupils in my rig can now be scaled from 'scared' to 'cute puppy eyes'.

looks pretty good. The only thing I don't like is the hands and the number of Polygons that you have on just this one character.

Now if only there were more tutorials about stuff like this in Blender.

3ds max is known to be a very hard software, and i respect that you want to get the best software out there but if your a beginner and find 3ds max a bit to hard pretty much like everyone else you could try out other softwares I'd begin with Mine-Imator. If you find mine-imator too easy you can move on to the rendering softwares like Cinema 4D, blender (which i use) or Maya. (captain sparklez uses it)

[TheDSMAXChannel]

yes i added a slider for pupil dialation :P so now you can make him have cute eyes ^^

[TheDSMAXChannel]

achualy captain sparkles used maya another software created by autodesk, though maya is more complicated to learn over 3ds max, but its unlikly you could bring the rig into another software like 3ds max or maya but the objects them selfs you could and just redo the rig it self in the new programe. and ye i see no reaosn why i cant make a quick video on how to import a world there few programe sout there that are quite easy to explain :P

[pyrolaxy]

nice rig and tutorial you are the best!!!

[DerekX]

That is a really good rig. I really gotta get back into modeling :)

[IdenCraven]

you can get a free student version, which is what i have, since im in high school

[TheDSMAXChannel]

ye i changed that pretty much 2 hours after the video :P i had that many poylgons was because i initly was going use the hands with the biped hands but found that to be less effective and the fingers just looked to mmmm curvy :P

[TheDSMAXChannel]

Because people can learn how to make it through a tutorial. If you get the final product straight away you wont learn anything and very likely windge about not knowing how to use it, why the hell its not working and how to fix it if you screw it up.

Student versions can remove many features :) .

[SergeantBalthazar]

Can you make a tutorial on how you made the beard and the fabric-type stuff on the torso?

[zamuthra]

actually, if youre a student, you can get 3ds max for free :)

[TheDSMAXChannel]

sure ill send you message with the lniks to helpful tutorials i would put them in the description but for some un known reason it wont let me

[Computerbusters]

It's Cooler to use the more expensive software. Unless you did pay for it... :(

[jerichoi]

Can you update your video to 2013? I might be asking alot, but It's hard to follow when the interfaces changed. or atleast only the parts that actually changed.

[alexwars]

First thing, I love your tutorials they are extremely helpful but I have this problem with the rig - The Polygons on the elbow keep overlapping when I move the arm so it creates this sort of mesh clipping. Do you know how to fix this?

[TheDSMAXChannel]

no sorry but if you want i can send you some videos that might help you make your own if you want?

[TheDSMAXChannel]

Ye im shocked there isnt after all blender is free and 3ds max, maya and C4D cost thousands :P (they all likly pirated it)
