I have internet via Ethernet here in this hotel (yay!) so I can somewhat continue the trial week. I created another thread with some of my 3D stuff, so y'all can check that out. And I want to help Pandora regardless of me getting in or not.

Okai
We didn't have new good people here for a while :P

Kaddon are you ingame active? :?

Erm not for this week since I'm out sight seeing, but for the most part, yes I am ingame active.

Oh goodie! I say yes

I have just discovered Modo and it's a f*cking beast.

The first one is just a simple compass in order to show the rendering capabilities of modo, while the 2nd is just a simple sword modeled in under 3 mins and I just applied some basic materials to it in order to make it look a bit better.

Render times:
-Compass: ~10 mins.
-Sword: <5 mins.

looks very good, vlad

I kinda would want to learn 3d modeling...

I used some program (3dwings I think it was called) wich I used to make swords basicly... but I would want to try again with something new...


how did you guys learn?

vids on youtube?

Yeah, mostly. And lots of practice. Also, if you will start again I recommend going to www.tutorialized.com for some tutorials for your program of choice.


Also, some of the programs I recommend: Cinema 4d, 3D Studio Max, Autodesk Maya, Blender or Luxology Modo 501.

All of those are pretty good and you can learn the basics in all of them. After that you can move to another if you feel like it.

nice textures. Also epic pose. Epic.
