Anyone else like to muck with 3D stuff?
 

I'm messing around with Vue and having some fun. I've seen some awesome Lightwave stuff lately too. Causes much humility to see the work some guys do. Here's my little dealio - post one if ya got your own:

Look at this for inspiration

One look at 3DSMax's GUI interface, and I slowly start to doze off, and finally faint.

All the buttons scare me.

use "Maya" - it rox

Good stuff guys. Here are a few of mine (3DS MAX):

From cinematics in one of the Duke Nukem games.

Another one from the same Duke Nukem game. It's a vidcap so it's a little blurry.

From a lame game I won't mention but I did cinematics for, lol.

Nice - I might hit you up later for my new Moviesite (heavy grafx broadband site)

Cool, let me know.

Did you use 3ds Max for the human figure design as well? Or did you use a program like Poser 5, and import into 3ds?

Nah, no Poser, all 3DS Max. :) To be perfectly precise, the Duke and "BugMan" figures in these shots were created jointly by myself and my cinematics partner for these two games.

People always ask me about Poser though because of our Strip Kittens girls. I modelled them fully in 3DSMax, no Poser involved.

Nice. If the colors weren't just a little off, that would look like an unretouched photograph. Maybe some more texture, too.

ebus, amazing work.

Did ebus actually do this? I thought he just linked to an image form the guy that did them. Amazing work, and if ebus did it, wow. :thumbsup

this is also a cool site for 3d

Great links! Booyah!

I've done visualisation for an NEC Plasma display launch and Panasonic prototype designs we came up with. But nothing as good as the stuff already posted, just nice and simple, the audience were the NEC and Panasonic executives, and marketing material to get other clients on board not the public so it didn't have to be too spesh.

I use to do some 3D 5+ years ago. For the kind of computers I had back then the renders turned out pretty good. Here is one.

from an older thread.

all coded from scratch.. no visual tools used like 3dmax or anything..

i'm just replying to this to bow down to all that 3d art. i tried 3d max. prolly should have gotten a book. all i could accomplish was a grey cube. :1orglaugh i can do OK with bryce. but damn. that is some incredible shit.

HEY - I DIDENT DO IT MYSELF !!

I just linked to it, and said what software to use

That's great work. Human figure modeling is the hardest thing to do from scratch.

Would you ever consider using poser? The new Poser 5 looks pretty powerful... approaching the level of professional anatomy modeling software. (well, not quite... but maybe after 3 more upgrades.)
:winkwink:

Here is a 3D demo I did a couple years ago.

noone else does 3D software coding? am i the only cool guy here :glugglug j/k

Fun

Thanks man. :thumbsup

We actually bought Poser to see if we could use it for making a lot of galleries of the Strip Kittens girls easier than posing everything in Max. I brought our girls in and they looked good, easy to pose, etc. but it was taking me too long to get used to the way Poser handles lighting (very different than Max) for rendering so I gave up. Now it's just sitting here on the shelf doing nothing, lol. :)

Those screenshots are impressive !

Cool work Mastamindz. =]

Poser 5... yeah I like it. It's fun to import friends faces then make them do things they wouldn't do like hump each other.

I'm such an infant!

I thought playing with maya 4.5 would be fun...but I know that shit is heavy on the vid card. Would a gf4 ti4600 be able to handle shit like that? AS I understand it, it wouldn't....

yes it will. But a ATI firegl8800 is better (NOT A RADEON)
Any certified OpenGL cards will do the job
