3Ds Max? And How long did it take you? xD

How long did what take me? xD The lights, the "head" as I call him, his body (not showing), the room? Haha, anyway, to spare you a comment: Lights took a few minutes with vray, room took around half an hour because I couldn't decide on stuff, Mr. head is running his third day because I'm picky with edgeflow and precise shape, same with the body. Renders took a few seconds here and there on low production (test) settings.

Ah, I've just gotten Vray and have been working on it for about a week now... I just want to be able to do the same crap like this xD
As I only do AE and some 3D Text Animations/Images

Hehe, as I said the lighting isn't that complicated but organic polymodeling is tricky.
Here's a link to a good studio lighting vray tut:

Btw, AfterEffects is awesome! >;D

Yep :3
I got the Optical Flares and Pro Presets, with Twitch by Video Copilot :3

OOOHHH! Had to look it up and looks sweet! I've mostly just played with trapcode form and basic 2d animations. Just for learning really.

I've used those before, yea there cool.

Well, I'm very excited to see what you come up with using this 3d program!

So am I! =]

Nice looking room you've got going on there so far!


Why something as limited as 3dsmax and with weird workflows, though? I thought people stopped using that years ago when it was still popular for creating Quake 2 models! I honestly thought the company went out of business. Why not Maya? Real easy learning curve, incredibly powerful, fast, and building a small render farm really is awesome. Though I've only done the render farm thing with ScreamerNet for Lightwave; Such a PITA, too.


Though I guess to be fair to my own question, it's all the same stuff in a different package now by the looks of it since Autodesk creates both applications and it's the same bloody price; too damn expensive!

"The software is just a tool...the person behind it is where the art and the magic comes from."

I honestly don't care which software is superior since you can do beautiful things with both 3ds and maya. The way I feel it, max is a better modeling tool and maya a better animation and render tool. Maya and I are still...not friends, but I'm slowly getting the hang of it. I plan to finalize work in maya if things go well but sticking to max for most of my modeling.
In the end one just have to learn "all" the apps and use the best of them, just like I used sketchup for the room and imported it in max. Doing the same room in max (or maya) would've been a pain in the ass.

And hey! If you have any advice or the like please do share! =)

Det ska bli väldigt intressant att se slutresultatet men än så länge ser det faktiskt kanon ut.

Det hela är nog bra mer komplicerat att göra än det set ut misstänker jag.

Tackar så mycket! Jao, rummet är som sagt sketchuppat så inga konstigheter där men huvudet och att sätta upp render inställningarna rätt är frustrerande ibland. Är inget pro som sagt, bara en ambitiös jävel xD

Gör vad du kan för att behålla den ambitionen säger jag bara! Vill se detta klart!

Ska bli chiefen! Har investerat en massa stålar i nytt datorgrejs där just det nykläckta 3d intresset låg som grund x3 Ska bli najs med Win 7, nytt ljud, mer utrymme och RAMRAMRAMRAM! Måste...ha...mer...RAM! Skaffat Maya också för att kolla in animeringsverktygen där. Aja, måste jobba!

RAM zombie here! :p Lycka till säger jag bara. Ska försöka leta fram samma ork för kreativt arbete själv.

Hohoho! Hemliga projekt! Ser bra ut...

Tacktack, hoppas det bara blir bättre!
