First of all, thank you all.
Thanks for all the support, and also for enjoying my sets... IÂ had much more sales than IÂ ever expected, and much more positive comments than IÂ ever imagined...
You know, creating 3d sets was always a surprising experience, as I was surprised every time by the end result. But much more than that, IÂ was always surprised that other people liked it!
In any case, the closing of the store was a difficult decision, more than that,: it was, as it came to be, a sad moment. As you have noticed, during this year, I had almost stopped making 3d sets - that was due to personal reasons, most of them good, by the way, but made my dedication and time to creating 3d sets to take a significant cut. This I missed, because I felt it as a part of my regular day - it completed, in those times, my day. But more than just having me almost stop, it came the time when I had to close my store: my real life job has nothing to do with 3d, but has an exclusity clause (for which I am paid for) which prevents me from getting earnings from any other source (in a regular basis, in any case)... Generic rules from big companies, that don't accept exceptions!
Just to finish - I understand that something that no one accepts well, and neither do I, is having my sets disappear to the recesses of my hard disk... but there is a chance that they will be back in a market, in the net, somewhere ( and I am not referring to piracy sites LOL)... but I still don't know if it will be and that is not something that I will anounce here...
Thread: Rock Wall | Forum: 3D Modeling
I have trouble myself doing those types of things, but maybe you could try starting with a box, and then, do some slice plane and cut (that will be in Max) not necessarily perfect perpendiculars. Then, select a good load of the polygons created by the cuts, and do some bevels. After you get a good load of them, and if you don't want rough edges rocks, do a mesh smooth. As I said, I'm no specialist in the matter, I wish I was, but if you're desperate try it. Most rock walls I've seen in games, are just made of textures and they don't look very good. Displacements may be a good solution, although I never managed to get what I wanted with them, when trying out for rock walls.

Moe, I don't mind critical input at all :) The fact is, the product is already in pending and close to release date, I hope. I'm taking notes of the feedback, though, for a future update. Thanks... Eduardo

Moe, yeah, you're right. But I never know where to put the heaters in my own place :)

Thanks all.
What's ETA ? (And the fedora hat is in the upper left corner) Also, this product should be in the RMP by next week.

Thanks. I used a more fish-eyed camera to try and show more of the room. It's totally opposite of the POV used in movies in that era, I know. And, yes, there are cigarette buts in the ashtray. There's one thing that doesn't belong to the set, which I forgot to mention: the fedora hat (in the upper right corner) - which is a prop from "misc. clothing"...

Thanks for all the input. I am working on the phone and the bank lamp as I speak. BTW, the desk is an (as much as I can) exact copy of the desk I am working right now, which belonged to my father (from his "gangster" years - as my wife calls it, after seeing an old photo with him and his friends, back in the 30's). I made the water cooler from a photo and it seemed pretty close, but I'll take a look at it again. There will be a fan, although it was harder to do than I thought and it may not be totally in 40's style... The lettering on the door should be there, but I still didn't get the right translucence with it... And, jarm, "... I didn't know who she was or what she wanted, but I knew she was trouble..." :) Once again, thanks for all the input... And right now, I just have to decide if I am going to re-watch the Maltese Falcon or Double Indemnity... (although I think I have those still on Betamax)

Yeah Moe, you hit the spot:) I do have a 50's type phone, but it still isn't finished... and I though about that bank lamp type - I might still do it. the venetian blinds are there already but you can't see it from that POV. ... the other bits... I hope I can make those... I am still strugling with the right shadows coming from the blinds :) Thanks everyone!

This is truly first-class! Many hollywood movies would need you as a production designer!
