Massively-Multi-Modeler-Blimp-Builing-Game: MMMBB round 1

The title gives it away.
We start with a 3ds-max file:

Do me a blimb!-1.max

download, tinker around, add, remove.. RENAME and provide a link for the next person.

Don't know how to avoid that different people go on from the same version, but whatever.

At the end shall be something blimp-ish

 

Dude.

 

anyone here who can open my .max 2011 files?

 

got max 2010 , maya 2011, mudbox 2011. So I can mudbox anythink to shit

 

then you will have to go on without me
since i cant save it in .max 2010

 

remove heavy tank..

add this:

 

yeah, just saw there's absolutely no backwards compatibility.

SOLUTION
is to work with import and export and just save in *.3ds

inb4 the file ends as this link

 

i just recognized i can indeed save in .max 2010 xP my bad

5 mins

 

I can open max files in maya, let me check this out

 

no wait, I can import .3ds, not max

 

maybe we should make a work order
or atleast pointing out who is working on it

so that not two people are working on a stage simultaniously and we cant decide which to take at the end

 

no offense, but this is just a cylinder, and a horrible one at that. (ends aren't merged)

 

how did you open it if you cant open .max?

and no this isnt just a cylinder although its rather simple
BUT THATS THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS THREAD
everyone contributes a small step

of course it looks shit at start

 

I opened the 3ds one.

I understand it's small steps, but starting at a cylinder is like starting with a blank scene.

 

Took the 3ds and shaped it kinda like a kirov: http://raegquit.com/dizzyone/dump/blimp/

 

Yeah, that's just a very first placeholder. U know I suck badly at modeling and am still a very unexperienced beginner (if not even less).
I just wanna see where this can end.
NEW RULES:

Contributions have to be saved in *.3DS format. All 3d Studio versions and maya can import and export them and even Blender can work with them.

Working on the file:

1. Make a post that you now work on the model,
2. work on the model for max. 2 hours,
4. export as 3DS-file,
3. update your post (1.) and provide a new link to the 3DS-file.

here's the file from f1r3w4rr10r

My Work. All My Precious Work.

 

just do it again on that one

i cant because i did tha last step

 

Maybe if you didn't smooth it
