long shot, but... Models?

[Ashton]

I know this is a long shot but after many failed hours of attempting my own and more failed hours of searching the net, I was left with the only option to beg and plead and see if TT had it in their hearts to release the MBs for Sam and for Max for non-profit use (mainly learning animation) I dont even need riggings, I'll gladly do them myself!

Or, failing that, if someone on the forums could point me towards anyone with quality likenesses (does not have to be MB, OBJ, 3DS, etc are all fine, basically any of the common ones)

While the desoto would be nice too, I've found that for the most part any adequately wrecked police car will work *evil grin*

wow my question is such blasphemy it doesn't even get a "No!" I dont know whether to feel ashamed or proud... lol

I disagree Johnny Fandango or whatever your name is, if he/she requests models or whatever we should at least provide an adequate answer, not to mention being polite, instead of calling it Blasphemy! jeez!

I don't think anyone was intentionally ignoring you :(

Unfortunately, I don't think we're going to be able to give up the Maya models. There's definitely a limit to the sorts of game assets we can give away, I'm afraid.

Sorry man :(

you can't be serious. we bought the games and now you won't give us the models, so we can make our own and don't have to buy yours anymore?

no, seriously, telltale usually is really generous when it comes to providing hi-res artwork of their games. like, when someone wants to make his own wallpaper or alternate dvd cover.
giving away models would be something like asking coca-cola to put the coke-recipe on the net.

of course it would be awesome to have some sam&max or maybe strongbad models to make your own cartoons, but i understand that this is impossible.

furthermore, if you want to learn 3d stuff, it won't get you anywhere if you use completed models, especially complex ones like these. get some proper tutorials and then make your own models afterwards. when your good enough, send an application to telltale and maybe you'll get to work with some sam & max models afterall...;)

[Ashton]

...just what are you smokin? you need to sell it instead, I'm sure you can get a LOT of $$$ for it!

As I said in my initial post, I knew it was a longshot and didnt expect it would happen, I was just hoping. I guess I can just some some other characters, I just wanted to sneak my favorite dog and rabbity-thing into some animations I'm working on. Thanks anyway though.

Dont make it sound like I'm not learning, I just have interest in putting together some complete animations, and right now my 3D artwork consists entirely of slightly-altered Polygons, When I get much past that it gets very ugly, and dont get me started on my failed attempts so far to learn the Fur plugin...

Also, I only asked for Sam and for Max, not every model in the game. I wont lie, it would be awesome to be able to have the others available (even though the VA would ruin it since I have nobody that could even come close to any of them) But I knew that was impossible, and furthermore, this was just to sneak them in as a cameo in some shorts, not to make my own series, My mind isn't anywhere near as twisted as Mr Purcel or the TT team...

Is it just me or does the Desoto not have a door, just a handle and a smooth side?

[Laserschwert]

I think the doors were only textures... or did Sam actually open the door on the driver's side? Max only jumped in anyway...

[Ashton]

Come to think of it, I think Sam jumped in too...I seem to remember him grabbing the door and flipping over it... might indeed have just been textures, when I think about it I dont recall the doors ever opening...

[wisp]

aren't there scenes were they arrice at a location and it starts with sam closing the door? maybe it only has a driver door or the door was added later, like in season two...or maybe i am just wrong. who knows...

Dont make it sound like I'm not learning(...)
that wasn't my intention. i just though that you might have a better start at the beginning, not in the middle. on the other hand, if you want to be a choreographer rather than a modeler, that's fine too...

Unless I'm mistaken, you hear the sound-effect then Sam walks away form teh car, it happens "off screen" though I may be wrong.

I'm slowly learning to model, but yes, I'm leaning more towards rigging, effects, and animating (didn't think of using the word "Choreographer")

That's amazing! How did you get them to stand perfectly still like that while holding out their arms for the picture?
Just kidding. I was thinking about doing animation myself, and these could be useful in the future. They'll probably be projects left unfinished though, never seen by another soul, but it'll be a fun thing to do in my spare time. ;)

[Jon NA]

:eek: WOW! They're super good, did you made them yourself?
I thought you made them by taking a 3DXML file with 3D PrintScreen program...
awesome

*snicker* If he made them himself the desoto would have doors.

However the one above that was shown by TheMagicalAnimatron IN MAYA was legit, He acctually sent me the MB he made (which was made from scratch) of Max.

[Jon NA]

Wow! So now you can insert Max as a cameo appearance in your short film!
Well, good for you!
Would you show us your short film after it finished to us?
And, who is this cool new guy, I mean TheMagicalAnimatron, in the forums?is he the guy who made this (http://www.3dvia.com/mgbaron/models/D8AC3DCEE0F2C4D6)?
EDIT:Sorry, I forgot you said he made it from scratch

[Maxilyah]

I don't know who made that, but Max looks wet. XD

[Ashton]

The guy that used 3dPrintScreen might have made it, but TheMagicalAnamatron did not. I switched to wireframe mode and I can tell you that is NOT the model that he made. very different structure in places like the feet and ears.

And yes, if I make any of the 4 animations I will post them (well 3 of them, one is for a friend and gets a little adult, though if you still want to see it I can cut it to just the part showing S+M or at least Max)

To be honest of the 4 only 1 is a short film, the other 3 are music videos that I couldn't resist the temptation to remake using Max (one is purely Max, Sam only cameoing at the end saying "what are you doing, Max?")

[Jon NA]

Music video remakes that have Max in them, wow, I just can't wait to see them.
It would be great if you could mix them with live action, .....Cool

[Ashton]

I *could* do it, I do have access to software like Adobe Premier Pro, but honestly, I don't have anyone I know in this whole town with enough sense to act...

One stars Max, one technically stars Sam but max is all through it. The third they're just being cops, and the forth they're just being cops.

[Maxilyah]

Can't wait to see them. :D

[tomo_cjt]

Combine some 3D models of Sam and Max with shapeways.com and you can get your own little S&M figures :D

[Ashton]

Long time in comming, first glimpse of Max:
I seeeeee you! (http://furstar.net/FH_pics/Max_looking_in.jpg)

what you don't see yet is Sam standing on the doorstep. I've not finished that model yet.

Thought this might amuse you all though.

[The Burninator]

That's pretty good!

[Maxilyah]

I'm amused. :D

[Trogdorman]

Well I'm in the market for models, not for anything just to look at

[Ashton]

Well I'm in the market for models, not for anything just to look at

I could give you a max model, but it wouldn't do you any good without Maya, which is a $4000 program (no joke, if you dont believe me look at autodesk.com) If all else fails I hope to have a Sam model by mid February. But doing the UV mapping I'm 100% sure will take eternity and prove to be a b**** and a half!

And I did:

http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/xjimbeaj/sm3.jpg

Sam is about 10cm high, Max about 7cm and the little Max (as a test) 3.5cm. And thanks to my brother I've got of of them painted:

http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/6689/samm.jpg

Of course it's stupid to have them standing there with their arms stretched out, so they're only tests. I'll have them made in pose as well... something like this:

Or maybe I'll try something with Sam holding his gun.

[patters]

that is awesome

These look fantastic in monochrome, I wonder what they would ook like if you did them as such?

[Quuux]

Ooh a Noir episode of sam & max would be awesome; some sort of casablanca homage or similar; with Flint.

[Laserschwert]

Yeah, I was thinking about that as well... like the black and white Clerks Inaction Figures:

http://www.graphittidesigns.com/shop/files/images_backup/ClerksB&WRandal.jpg http://www.graphittidesigns.com/shop/files/images_backup/ClerksB&WDante.jpg

But I guess I'll prefer them in color, as Sam's blue suit looks so damn cool.

[Freelance Poster]

From just that pic alone, I agree. Telltale make it so. :)

[Quuux]

And then they can make Clerks adventures (although there'd have to be adult content warning)

[Laserschwert]

"CLERKS is played by a live studio audience." :D

That'd be awesome! The cartoon-show wasn't explicit and still EXTREMELY funny.

Go, Telltale, get the Clerks-license from Kevin... go... GO!!

[Freelance Poster]

I'd love to see a Clerks game, but nothing too censored. I'm not so sure I'd want to see Jay and Bob as fireworks salesmen again, or something akin to watching Mallrats on regular tv -_-;

They're made of plastic... some poly-something-something. Basically it's a powder that gets fused and hardened - layer by layer, from bottom to top - with a laser. You can see the layers of Sam's tie (as he was obviously printed lying on his back).

[purple_monkfish]

I WANT THEM! *drools* Seriously.

[Pirateguybrush]

Wow, they turned out great. How much did it cost to get them done?

[Laserschwert]

$16 for Max and $57 for Sam... he's fat!

[purple_monkfish]

I totally want to do this now. only $16? Bargian! Telltale! take note!

I would pester you for the Maya files but well.. you know... I don't like to pester. Heh. Also, copyright issues and all that. Still, freaking AWESOME. You must paint these!

[Laserschwert]

I would pester you for the Maya files
Whew, good thing they're 3dsmax-files. :p

[Pirateguybrush]

Nice cleanup on the models too, would have been pretty time-consuming to close all the holes.

[Laserschwert]

Yeah, it was a lot of work... and there weren't so many holes, but a lot of separate pieces that actually had no thickness, like the lower portion of Sam's jacket... I basically remodeled the thing. Actually I remodeled both Sam and Max for the most part, so that they were at a higher resolution (otherwise they wouldn't have been round when printed, showing all the triangles).

[Pirateguybrush]

At the risk of this coming off the wrong way, would you mind showing a shot up Sam's coat? I'd like to see what you did there.
