Thank, but that is going to be quite some time from now..... also, I'm sure to have problems once I put it all together. My laptop is going to explode trying to render 4million polys....
Ohh, and here's a soldering iron

Then don't have your laptop render everything at once. Render each part differently and then composite all the layers in a different program. Its how the big studios do it.

ya I know, just meant it will take a while, I actually normally just do that in backburner where you can render in lines assigning small chucks of the final image at the same time.

pppsstt, i'm brand new to this site... where is there help on character rigging? i know lots about 3ds, i just never rig anything...

Re: Off-season Projects in 3D Animation
 

Its really hard to teach someone character rigging over chiefdelphi. Catch me on Aim and I will give you a custom rig you can dissect and ask questions about. My screen name is BuddyB309 on AIM

For projects like this, does anyone know who to render just like the wire frame of it with out making it look bad?

Re: Off-season Projects in 3D Animation
 

I assume your asking how to render a wire mesh. Well, there is numerous ways to do it, but the way I do it is merge my model into a new scene with a white plane and a single skylight. Then create a composite material of a black wire material (check the wire box in the mat editor) and a white standard material. Render in mental ray with final gather and done.
Looks like this when done:

You know... I haven't posted any of my recent works.. strange, lol. Guess I'll show some of em, tell me what you think! :). Let's see, the first one roughly took about 11ish hours, minus the rendering time, and the other 2 took a day's worth.. never really remembered how long I spent on them in hours. Hope you like them!

(That's definitely one way of doing a wire overlay, though I'm sure there are others ways if I'm correct.. not sure, it's just popping into my head that there is more than one way :P. Noticed you've been boolean modeling at some places, overuse of that isn't "healthy" just to let you know, just as a friendly advice, though I'm sure you know :D)
