About Blade Throwing Simulator:
If you purchased the Extended Paid version and can’t find the reference files it may be because you need both the free and extended downloadable content (refs are in the free content). As for the series, I’ve been using 3ds Max professionally for several years now but this is my first real foray into hard surface for games. I’ve seen dozens if not hundreds of video tutorials for 3D software (including paid content) and this series can comfortably sit with the best of them. A beginner to the software might find the pace a bit quick but the author does a good job of narrating each process. The software choices are also good – perfect for anyone wanting to learn the current industry standard. I can honestly say that Tim Bergholz has the BEST training for 3ds Max. The amount of information and tips and tricks and workflow you receive it’s absolutely mind-blowing. In fact, I have returned to 3ds Max just to follow his tutorials. I can’t recommend this enough. I would say that this (Blade Tutorial), the Mech and the Ultimate Weapon are a MUST for any artist wanting to learn more about modeling and games. Awesome tutorial. With a lot of different things to learn! As a knife lover and designer, this tuto is perfect for me! I’m glad to have discover it! I suggest to buy / see it on the chamferzone website or youtube. Because this is sadly impossible to follow a tutorial on the steam player. We have to click on pause sooooo many times and doing a lot of rewind… And this player is absolutely not made for this, trust me. And Steam propose only streaming… That mean you have to download the 1080p video every time you open it! (under 720p this is useless for a tutorial, we can’t see any text…). And if you are at the end of the tutorial, good luck to download everything again entirely… For a duration of 2 hours tutorial, it take at least one day to reach the end, due to many pause we have to do. Even if we are more familiar with some task close to the end. So, this is a little heavy, but really cool and instructive! And at the end, you can be really proud of your work ^^ I think, sometimes this is missing some direct information, because it happens to do some things without knowing why… This is frustrating at the moment, but we understand why we do that later on the video. After this full tutorial, you’ll have enough knowledge to create your own knife and other things, at the same quality! Thanks for this great tutorial. I totally suggest it!
