Re: Fun post-season animation
 

Perhaps we should create some kind of message board/thread where animators post ideas they have for an animation but don't have the time/skill to complete them. Great solvent for any animator with animators block to pop in sign up for an idea, work alone/collaborate with others, and fix that brain clog!

What do you think?

Re: Fun post-season animation
 

Sounds like a good idea for a new thread on CD. A good candidate for a sticky.

or just go to google and do a image search for "3d (insert something)" and let others' work inspire you away!

Hello.. Rendershare. did everyone forget this already?

Re: Fun post-season animation
 

I believe they're talking about something different.

RE: Mercury's RCX, the studs look a little big to me, but it's probably just me and not your fault. You should add the tiny little LEGO logo on each stud as a bump map - that'd be cool.

Hello. I noticed nobody has put up work here in a while, so i wanted to throw out a few pics to jumpstart the creative impulses of the Young Animators Of First.

Here is a picture i made for a kinda wierd desktop. The shattered glass doesn't look right, and there were supposed to be caustics, but oh well. It took about an hour and a half to model and about 1 minute to render.


I saw somthing like this on google, and decided to try it out on my own. its supposed to be a flame of water... wierd. model about 2-3 hours. render 2 minutes.


I was bored and modeled my roommate's glasses. woot. model, 1-2 hours. render 1 min.


Well, i hope everyone enjoys, please leave feedback. Now, Get modelling, practice makes you a pimp. I love seeing what other people can do.

This is what happens when I procrastinate and don't do my homework. It's really simple cause I just threw it together.

I have been playing around with caustics a bit.
Low res / low detail

High res / high detail

If you click that link view the image full size. It is rather large.

I want to get speed modeling sessions back up.

For clarity it is a wine glass with glass beads. I have been told to make them pearls. I am working on that right now.

Re: Fun post-season animation
 

Not sure what prompted this - it's been a while since I've done anything in max.
Click the image for a wallpaper-sized version.



Took me about 2 hours total, including Paint Shop Pro work. Most of my time went into perfecting the lighting/rendering setup (Rendered in Mental Ray with area lights).

Re: Fun post-season animation
 

Morgan and I are working on this one together. Hopefully when done i will do camera matching and tracking to composite this into footage.

^^ looking nice. it looks great even without textures, though I'm assuming you're going to spiff it up even more?

Our team has been putting together a promotional video, and my teammates vetoed this:



as a potential transition sequence. It wouldn't have ever looked right in the video, but it's neat how easily After Effects takes the raw footage (from max, a model of our mechanum wheels by the way) and turns it into something so neat.

The Quality on some are very horrible be cause of photobucket. If you have a good video hosting site please let me know.
