| mm, bit dull this stuff , but I am plugging through learning a bit of environmental modelling   | 
| 
 | ||
| Eh? What's going on here? Who are you? "Ruz" can model lifelike humans - worked in the games industry. He cannot have resorted to modelling a filing cabinet. Who are you? What do you want? | 
| 
 | ||
| ha ha I am now a hobo, eekiing out a living, dancing for gentlemen in camden high street But apart from that I am no longer working in the games industry. I was just too important to work as a mere artist:) | 
| 
 | ||
| I like them, excelent texture work, and the beveled edges give it just the right touch. | 
| 
 | ||
| cheers chwaga . yeah I have not touched sub d modelling in years and have really struggled this week, but I am slowly getting it back. The bevelled edges thing gave me a proper migraine:0 Heres a little update. Notice the z fighting issue in 3dsmax. Pretty poor really     |

| The filing cabinet.... If that's the kind that we all know and love that holds suspension files the drawers aren't nearly tall enough and the unit isn't nearly deep enough.  Unless it's actually much bigger that it looks and it's one of those lateral jobbies...  But that would make your plant massive! And the plant doesn't look like it's that big judging by the size of the cane (and the fact that it has a cane at all) | 
| 
 | ||
| yeap its a lateral jobby and I am not far off the ref pic, but the plant was just  slapped on:). The bottom ref pic of yours might be a bit mislaeading though, the perspective makes it look like its not very deep. TBH, there are loads of different syles, sizes out there. | 
| 
 | ||
| So...is the file cabinet animated? | 
| 
 | ||
| ermm, animated in what way. you mean opening draws and such? | 
| 
 | ||
| another lil item for practice   | 
| 
 | ||
| last one, promise!!   | 
| 
 | ||
| Last one?  Don't stop... Are you making these models available? I know puki wants them. :) | 
| 
 | ||
| ha ha puki probably already has them.) I am planning on making content packs as a little busines venture, so more on this soon, when I have more content made. | 
| 
 | ||
| I'm not buying a filing cabinet that a demented barn owl could have done, whilst mincing his head in a meat mincer. Animated characters are welcome though - especially Fantasy/RPG type ones. Star Trek Original series character ones are also required. | 
| 
 | ||
| well the art of making a sexy filing cabinet is an art only mastered by ninjas. Look carefully and you will se that most of thr details likle the handles is just normal maps. | 
| 
 | ||
| Ruz, Nice to hear from you again. IPete2. | 
| 
 | ||
| cheers IPete2 , how you doing man? | 
| 
 | ||
| I want a Sadsong phone! :P | 
| 
 | ||
| I wanted to call it 'singsong' orignally:) big10p my missus comes from the orient and thought it was quite funny too. how about samsun!! damn copyright issues | 
| 
 | ||
| Nice work Ruz! :) Yeah, great to see again mate! ;) Are you living back in Durham or are you still down south? Dabz | 
| 
 | ||
| back in London now mate. I worked at monumental games in Nottingham for last 8 months which was fun. The are making an MMO called football superstars | 
| 
 | ||
| I'm ok thanks - working my socks off on a 4 level platformer style game, that's keeping me really busy. IPete2. | 
| 
 | ||
| Good stuff man, I am strarting up my own business - outsourfcing of some kind. | 
| 
 | ||
| my shot at a filing cabinet :)  380 faces, no texturing at all, just grey colored. How long did those textures take to make, and what tool did you use? | 
| 
 | ||
| Why is the bottom drawer smaller?  Not going to be able to put any files in it!?! | 
| 
 | ||
| Pffft~ - that's the plate warmer, silly! | 
| 
 | ||
| lol, it's a very special bottem file :P | 
| 
 | ||
| thats a good start chwaga. my textures took about 10 mins, but the normal map stuff a bit longer to set up. The specular map is very important too obviously | 
| 
 | ||
| what tool did you use?  (for the textures) | 
| 
 | ||
| used pshop cs2 | 
| 
 | ||
| Those were the days when a filing cabinet had only 12 Tris, or maybe even less (save bottom and back :) ). Hi Ruz! | 
| 
 | ||
| Hi Jfk. I have been looking at your demos of late. nice stuff. like the grass in particular yeah the filing cabinet can 't have open edges because of the shadow volumes. what a pain next gen is at times | 
| 
 | ||
|  nother one | 
| 
 | ||
| nice | 
| 
 | ||
| Now ya gotta get different textures for the cushions (so they dont look the same.) I'll be WAITING :) | 
| 
 | ||
| that would involve more work and I am a bit lazy today:) | 
| 
 | ||
| Hm, hadn't even noticed you were doing the same thing as me (sort of).  Nice work. | 
| 
 | ||
| cheers noel .yeah , just decided to try some environment stuff for a change. |
