New here, but I'm not seeing an .fbx in any of these attachments. Maybe I'm just missing it...?

I apologize when I set up this thread for just the models (models where in the assignment thread originally) I must have missed re-uploading the FBX to this thread, really sorry. I will upload it in the morning when I get to the office. I apologize once again, I worked on putting this challenge together from three locations and it has been a bit disorganized because of it.

No worries. I know how that is. I'm still trying to figure out if I should go for this contest or not; I still consider myself a 3D n00b, and I have no clue how I would accomplish a lot of it. Honestly, I don't know the first thing about architecture or landscaping, but I'm looking forward to learning.

How I looked at it when I was younger and had the time, is that you learn a lot from other contestants critiques and make new friends, the prizes are just a bonus!

Good luck!

Johnus, you really should go for it, especially if you're new to the 3D world. There is no better way to build your skill set with the many eyes that see your work, and the help and direction that is offered. Just think about all the web pages, tutorials, and insight that has been gleaned by those who are here. Folks are very helpful passing along their tricks.

Hi Everyone,

This is going to be my first competition entry. When I try to extract the zip file and open I get warnings saying the file cannot be opened. Its also extracting without an extension. Any help is much appreciated.

thanks

Which file? Also sometimes using a different browser like Firefox or Chrome works better. In any event, need to know what file you are having trouble with before we can try to trouble shoot.

**dane8444** · 11-15-2011, 07:39 PM

sorry about that. I am using the max2012.zip, when i extract it has no extension and is not recognized by max. If I add the extension it still does not work.

Thanks again

Can somebody check out whether or not the max2012 attachment is downloading correctly for them in second post? In the meantime Dane, use the link below to download directly:
