Digital 3D Art v9 - General

May want to get some specularity on that. Also, ditch the blue light, it's too saturated. [editline]2nd May 2012[/editline] Also made myself a new avatar, but apparently it requires a re-cache to see it. Weird. Used 3DS Max for the animating bit.

[QUOTE=Logithx;35797738]Make it loop a bit longer, 2 second videos about animations are probably the most hated on Youtube.[/QUOTE] That's why it's unlisted :v:

[t]http://filesmelt.com/dl/render111.png[/t] Might I ask though, how'd you manage to carve out the S shapes in the body?

Would probably need to fix the ugly geometry though before attempting to subdivide.

[QUOTE=Legend286;35800451]Splines, snap to vert and the cut polygon tool? Would probably need to fix the ugly geometry though before attempting to subdivide.[/QUOTE] I should mention I'm using Blender, guess I'll have to look around for it. Ugly geometry?

[QUOTE=Dr. Evilcop;35800526]I should mention I'm using Blender, guess I'll have to look around for it. Ugly geometry?[/QUOTE] Well when you use the cut polygon tool it'll obviously slice into your mesh, so if it's just a plane it'll end up butchering whatever topology you had there, which would need to be fixed. :P

I read that as if you were pointing out bad geometry on the model as it is now. :v:

[QUOTE=Dr. Evilcop;35800984]Oooh I get it now. I read that as if you were pointing out bad geometry on the model as it is now. :v:[/QUOTE] On the contrary, it looks lovely. As does the other model. :P

Perhaps make some sort of wooden frame with planks laid across? Imo, that would look pretty neat.

A few crappy .gifs of the same thing that took too long to make. [t]http://i.imgur.com/1MQbL.gif[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/z9kp5.gif[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/Y028B.gif[/t]

Discovered Scupltris, decided I liked it. Made this. [IMG_THUMB]http://i.imgur.com/YHYbJ.png[/IMG_THUMB]

Sorry for the delay; request met!

Also, I am pretty happy with this. [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43356210/Modelphotos/Cello.png[/IMG] I had to render the strings on a different layer because the AO was fucking up. Time to make an actual render!

Whoa, Blender revamped it's slice polygons tool.

[QUOTE=Dr. Evilcop;35817180]Whoa, Blender revamped it's slice polygons tool.[/QUOTE] It also has Ngon support now... I may get back into Blender. I like my tetrahedronic rhombi.

Anyone know of a way to get the new Blender's UI to change back to or be similar to the old one? That's the only reason I'm not switching :/

[QUOTE=Eeshton;35817334]Anyone know of a way to get the new Blender's UI to change back to or be similar to the old one? That's the only reason I'm not switching :/[/QUOTE] New UI is much, much better. Will take a bit of getting used to but you'll enjoy it once you do

[QUOTE=Eeshton;35817334]Anyone know of a way to get the new Blender's UI to change back to or be similar to the old one? That's the only reason I'm not switching :/[/QUOTE] Don't switch back, it's awful. That said, open Blender 2.49, save the default file. Open it with Blender 2.6, and in the file menu click "Save as Default". [editline]3rd May 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=woolio1;35817231]It also has Ngon support now... I may get back into Blender.

[IMG]http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/9586/38827726.gif[/IMG] Making an animation with guy for my final, decided to do a test render of one part. For some reason motion blur doesn't like his eyelids.

[img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22565769/city_wip1.png[/img] Working on a city. Very, very early WIP. Everything except the ground is a particle effect, so I can easily adjust it, add more variation, change frequency of items, etc. etc..

dem roads

[QUOTE=KillerTele;35820221]dem roads[/QUOTE] Yeah I know :v: need to fix 'em up. And add street signs, lights, etc. [editline]4th May 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=woolio1;35817231]It also has Ngon support now... I may get back into Blender. I like my tetrahedronic rhombi.[/QUOTE] I'm not actually sure if I like using ngons. I feel as though being forced to use only tris and quads helped me learn better topology overall. Focusing mostly on low-poly stuff for games I never wanted ngons anyways.

I'm considering migrating to Blender or a similar free program because I'm concerned when I'm no longer a student I won't be able to use Maya without paying. Do you guys think that's a bad idea?

[QUOTE=Lazore;35825078]Its a motherflippin highwheeler [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/GKTcg.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Penny farthing!

Is there a more effective way of making curved cylinders than using a spline and Path Deform? Edit: In Max.
