Have to leave the rest to a good bake. This is hand down the most complex thing I ever tried to bake.

like the volume you get in your model. also impressive wich detail you got into the low poly version. cant belive that its just 2900 tris with all the bolds and holes. realy effizient.

Texturing



Getting some text textures, still not sure how I want it. Shiny new or beat up old?

There seems to be some blurred areas in your texture, not sure why that is. Also, all the tubes, are they splines or mesh? If they are splines they don't count towards your triangle count in max so you might want to add a mesh select modifier to them to get the full tri count.

I changed them all into editable polys, I lowered the side count and steps, and took out 2-3 wires. As for the textures, Max just likes messing with me. All the sides facing the camera don't render out right. Might have to try and unwrap this beast.

That's strange. You can always display normalmaps etc in the viewport and take a screenshot instead of rendering it out though.

I don't have any normal maps (and probably won't). Every time I try to bake, Max has a script error, and corrupts the file. I have about 10-12 corrupt files named Turbine3 - Turbine15 with a few still working. Every day I work in Max, I hate it a little more.

Wow that's f*cked up. I'm guessing re-installing max doesn't help? Which version are you using?

2010, I'm trying to learn it for professional use.. But I'm having a terrible experience. I've been using it somewhat for a year now, and just hate it... Unfortunately I been learning all the baking, unwrapping, and uv layout in Max, so I don't know how to really do them in Cinema 4d... So I f'ed myself all around.

Do you have any UV overlaps? It could be a problem i think. But i don't think it could lead to a script error. Try reinstalling max.
