nice work. i am learning blender at the moment. i'm just getting into this. i've been doing cad design for 10+ years, so i already have the modeling part down. i'm having trouble with the materials/textures.

Well, really, I started with bryce too. Version 3 or 4... and I liked it very much, because of it's clarity and simplicity... But later when I wanted to make stuff more complex than just a simple objects, Bryce was no longer an option.... Anyway I use it ocasionaly for rendering some environments that later on I use in cinema or 3Dstudio.
P.S. Don't stop with 3Ds max! Buy a book somewhere, you should find some books for very low amount of money, and start by following a book. I learned that way really quickly...




Anyway, do you have some expirience with render farms?


Well, that house model, it's not nearly finished, texture is just droped and tiled on objects, so don't consider that one done


Yeah, I've heard that, and actually I managed to get my hands today on Mac OS 10.4.1, a developers DVD... And just tested it on my comp with VMware... And guess what? It works! Little slow, but Im sure that it will work prettey good on it's own hdd as really standalone installed system...


Im aware of that... Windows was made in 3Ds max, with that implemented function for making windows, later on, I've realized that it look too generic, and made my own windows. you can see my later works on my deviantart page. (here)


Well, I saw Blender from it's first versions, actually my brother uses it for all 3d work, but I just can't get a grip on it. Maybe later considering a fact its free.



Not all stuff. Robot is made completley in Cinema. And house is modeled first in 3Dstudio and later completed in Cinema.

I really like your work, I used to do modelling on an Amiga computer years ago on Cinema 4D and Aladin 4D, it was quite an old software, the new versions on Windows are much better, but when I got into programming I lost my interest in modeling.. rendering was taking to much time for me, I did not have patience, even though on current computers it is much faster

I really like the rendered robot, it looks really nice. Keep up the good work.

Yeah, those old amiga's where someting...! Back here at my place, national TV station used amigas for their video and audio productions, and even for modelling and rendering animations and effects for TV production... I think that they still use some of them...

Yep, Amigas were used widely for this kind of things, Babylon 5 was created with it, Robocop and Terminator 2 some effects in the movie. I remember I browsed some kind of a site, where all the films were included where Amiga computers were used. TV channels used it widely too, but I think the last ones (especially here in my country) stopped being used on 2001, but just think about it, the Amiga computer was dead at 1994 but still widely used until 2001 now it would be a bit stupid using it, because of the speed and they are quite expensive and time taking to build from scratch now, glad I still have my working in another room, just I rarely use it, no point :S

awesome man i like d stuff u created

thanks, I really try. I hope to do some more stuff this month. Currently Im working on 3d character named Alonso :B

Very good work, they must have taken you hours to complete. I'd never be able to dedicate myself to something for that long. I have no idea about 3D modelling but you definately have a lot of experience of it.

Yeah, I find out that Im capable of selflearning, with little help of online tutorials...

this is great, well done
keep it up!

well done
keep it up
