Some of my 3d stuff...

[Capt Quirk]

No. :cheesy:

Do you want us to stop looking for texture mistakes then?

 

[Slimothy]

Looks great Tommy! Very impressive.

 

[Tom Marshall]

Do you want us to stop looking for texture mistakes then?

Yeah. This was just something I did to work on different skills. It's not really meant to be correct texture-wise. I'm not spending that much time on it...

 

[siniarch]

Nice Tommy,
I like the soft edges on the lights, and the whole mood of the image. How long did it take to render and at what resolution?

 

[Tom Marshall]

It took about 11 minutes to render at 800 x 600. What kills the render time is radiosity, but it makes a huge difference. That plus using area lights adds volumetric lighting which takes more time.

 

[Capt Quirk]

Wait until you try to render an entire neighborhood, complete with light glows and particle effects.

 

[Tom Marshall]

I can imagine. I'm rendering a 120 frame animation and it's going to take a while... granted there are 1.96 million polygons, but still...

 

[Tom Marshall]

So I'm back to working on 3D. I'm working on learning Maya and XSI these days and learn them well...

Here's something I was playing with today. I've started working on modeling my Yamaha s90es keyboard...

I call this one "E flat"

 

[triplej96]

Looking good Tom.

 

[djembeplay]

ya, nice- that's about all you would need for the entire keyboard... just clone that chunk of keys over and over and line em' up.

 

[Tom Marshall]

Thanks Josh.

ya, nice- that's about all you would need for the entire keyboard... just clone that chunk of keys over and over and line em' up.

Well, I still need to tweak the white keys a bit, but yeah... just clone em. Then I can start working on the rest of the casing and the front panel...

 

[Gord.T]

Looking good Tom. I caught the e-flat reference, hehe. Looks good.

But more importantly, "Can you give us a little toon there matey?"

 

[Tom Marshall]

Sure can man, been playing for many years... :beer:

Another little project I'm starting... I'm going to put together a gym scene. Started with a Smith machine... well, the first leg of the Smith machine...

Here's a closeup of one of the pegs welded...

 

[Gord.T]

Good luck Tom, keep us posted. Weights. Reminds me of a story I 'won't' get into in this thread, lol.

Oh btw, you should put that Cinealma webcast series link in your sig, please. I love it but can never find it when I want. I really really like it but help a brother out and make it easier to find. Thanks bro.

//Edit: after 10 minutes of google surfing, Cinealma's links don't work anymore, I found the link...
http://www.geppetto.tv/

So, book marked now.

 

[Tom Marshall]

Thanks Gord. It's good because it reminds me of the fact that I really need to get in shape...

You had to Google it? Yikes. I would imagine there's more than a few people on dvxuser that know nothing about it, so adding a link in my sig might not be a bad idea.

Speaking of stuff with John (cinealma), it looks like we're going to be doing a project for Monsterfest together. :beer:

Oh, and I've got this crazy idea to do a purely 3d music video for some reason... :huh:

 

[Tom Marshall]

I started playing around with Terragen 2. Talk about a cool freaking program...

After playing around with it for about an hour or so, I have some decent looking terrain:

Airplane view... This one took much longer to render than the above two:

 

[triplej96]

Yep Terragen 2 is awesome. It makes realistic landscapes pretty simple. Just wish I could export them into C4D.

 

[Tom Marshall]

Can you import LWO files into C4D? If so, then you should be good to go...

 

[Tom Marshall]

After doing the Terragen tutorial and reading some of the manual (yeah, I know - RTFM ), I'm getting better results... I brought it into Nuke and threw in the lens flare and did a little color grade + crop...

 

[Everts]

looking good Tom ....eeh the mountains I mean .
