Thread: Making models from scratch!

Ok, everyone, today I will be showing you how to make a model from scratch.

You will need Metasequoia and DatMaker v.1.1.3, so I conveniently uploaded it to Mediafire for you:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Ok before we start, you will need to open Metaseq and rotate your camera to where it is facing the red line, and I will also need you to go click create then click both, and line.

Ok now, we are ready to roll.

First off we need to make an outline of the item you are making, all you have to do is click and make the shape of your item, it should look something like this:


Now, to add some optional 3d effects, to do this you will add lines to the middle of what you want 3d, depending on how many lines you add will determine how 3d it is, so to do this you will create the lines in the middle of the thing you want 3d and then connect it to the base of the item, after that you will have to use rope or rectangle to select your lines after connected, when you are with that click move in the command menu and move it out a little.
When you are done, it should look something like this:
Side View:


Rear View:


Next, we will add triangle outlines, so it will work in-game, be sure to make everything into a triangle and not to cross over other lines, so it should look something like this:


Like I said, it should NOT cross over other lines like this:


It should look more like this:


Now, to add some color to this bad ***, to do this you will have to add colors, to add colors go to your material panel, click new and then choose your color, if you want more than one color do the same thing, now to actually add the color, you will have to click the color you want to use and then on one of your triangle outlines, click all of the points on the triangle outline until it is filled in with color. When you start your item should look something like this:


When you are finished it should look like this:


Now, it's time to finish this thing up, make sure that your item is on one side of the green line, and not on it, now we will need to click our object in the object panel and click clone, then create at symmetry. It should look something like this:
Rear View:


Diagonal View:


Now we really finish, you will see where your objects are not connected, all you have to do is fill it in with triangle outlines, then fill in the outlines with triangles, the finished product should look like this:


Thank you for looking!
