Barry, I have held the gun to my head with my finger on the trigger. It's not a matter of no guts, but rather there is something we need to do to finish our plan for this life. We may not know what it is then or now, but we will eventually get it done and then we can go. Hang in there.
forget 3Ds max ( you didn't like Maya ) - go with C4D - hope you post some thing
as for the kid - put that sucker AWAY some where - I know where he would be if he was here
I like Maya, I just don't understand Maya. Lots on-screen at once and some of it doesn't make much sense to a newbie like me. Of course, it's a very professional piece of kit and newbies have a lot to learn. And recently I've had less time than normal to plant my arse in front of the puter.
Cinema 4D is almost the opposite. Clean interface, very little on-screen, but of course the same techniques will be used to model, so again if I learn this I am also learning Maya, Max, Carrara, Hexagon, blah blah blah.
Something will be built and rendered. By the end of November :D
Hey BigH, it's started, I've printed large chunks of the online manual! Now all I have to do is read it :ohh:
ok - have fun
ok - have fun
Well I don't know much about the app itself but the manual is tremendous! I was going to buy a book about Maya because I don't like Maya's manual/help system all that much, it's very wordy, but now I don't think I need to because just about everything the C4D manual explains will be doable in Maya, and the C4D manual is very easy to read. Love it.
I do like the clean interface. Not thousands of buttons, icons, forms and info panels bogging me down. Really like that.
What I'd like is a 3D app that lets me customise the UI how I see fit! I like Carrara's attitude of having different rooms to do things but I want to create my own room with my own buttons, info, forms etc. Not sure anything will let me do that!
Going to start (again) my project today. In C4D.

of you go then - time fly by
got too sleepy to play much, found the collision smoothing thingy for other items in Daz studio 4.5, under scene tree edit
pretty cool for fitting clothes to other figures, did funny things with dynamic cloth though.
I am learning a lot from C4D, mostly from a modelling philosophy point of view rather than an actual doing point of view. For instance, there's a lot of advice about edges which I hadn't really thought about. No edges are truly sharp, so it talks about making curves all the time. Great idea, and advice that I actually needed because my current model (in Maya) does look quite sharp around adjoining parts.
Whatever application I use I'm learning a lot from this manual!
my little car arrived today
wish I could open it and look at it but because they are collectables that could devalue it, it is up to my brother to decide if he wants to.
Collectables can be fun. I have a Ral Partha, limited edition, Dragon (The Great Red Dragon). Still in it's original box and packing, although it has been opened. Still has the ceritficate with the number on it. It is now worth at least 3 times the price we paid for it.
I have several times looked at it, and wanted to assemble it, paint it and have it on display, but strangely enough it would lose value if I did that.
Although I do have some collectibles, the things I treasure most are the dolls I spent so many pleasurable hours playing with. When I got married in 1961 my dolls were the first things I packed to go with me. They pretty much stayed packed until I finally got a girl in 1980. They've been taken out several times for her to see, but not to play with. She had her own dolls. I gave her my Madame Alexander Cinderella, but she knew it was not for play.
I pretty much gave up on collecting things after I was robbed for the third time. I had a HUGE collection of Albums the first time. All but one of The Doors albums, all but two of the Beatles albums, most of Lynyard Skynyard and others. Then I had a LOAD of DVD's, all collected one by one not in sets. I also had a pretty good set of Crystal Angel figurines. By the time they finished cleaning me out I had 10 albums, 9 or 10 DVD's and just one figurine left. The Fact I worked 50 plus hours a week and everyone knew my house was empty when my car was gone made my place a target. My collections was not all that was taken. I went two plus years without a PC because I was afraid to buy another one. So I just stopped collecting things and let everyone I knew know that fact. The break in's just stopped when the word got spread around that I never had a thing in the house I could not replace cheaply and fast.
We're the only house in this small area that has not had a break-in. All of our theft have been by visiting relatives.
ok, box not sealed so took little car out and looked at it
Is that what you guys call a Ute? In Britain we might as well call it a mobile reservoir because if you leave one outside for more than half an hour it's bound to be filled with rain!
This 3D modelling thing is confusing, I'm going to be looking at other models to see where I'm going wrong!

More software! Just what I need! Of curse, I'm downloading anyway! Thanks :D
Need to learn the stuff I've already got, it's the good stuff I'm told.
Problem isn't with the software, it's with the concept.
For instance, if I'm making a gun (I am in fact), I need a way to attach a barrel to the gun (a tube in C4D) but most people seem to do that as all one hollow mesh, and I'm struggling to understand how they do that.
Right, I'm using booleans, deal with it!
who is that for ?
who is that for ?
Anyone that thinks using booleans is the wrong way to do things. I figure I can bool it up and then fix any n-gons.
Actually, the bools I've used so far haven't produced any n-gons, Cinema 4D seems quite poly-friendly.
God this forum is dead
I cannot get it to download so think I fudged up Google docs but here is my try
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_LBYN9TC7lhbXhuaTJSdXlZQzA
in the off chance it is just my browser, been having big issues since nVidia driver update
will have to restart and roll back but in the middle of a huge render so cannot.
Well if video killed the radio star, equally it looks as though Skype has killed the forum thread.
Skype pretty dead too.
was hoping to help Barry get his one piece cylinder cube combo done using Carrara as what I most familiar with but he seems to have gone AWOL too.
I peek in from time to time folks, But the thread really has taken a hit from Skype.
This thread has taken a hit from Skype, and also from my general lack of anything at all!
With the Daniel situation being as it is, my momentum, mojo and general level of give-a-damn has dropped severely. I still do stuff, but I do it very slowly. I don't even chat on Skype all that much.
I would join more but you folks keep some Bass-ack-wards hours to me. Mostly.
Just a couple images for a project I'm working on - terrain rendered in Terragen, other objects (not my creations - I don't have nearly the skill to create my own 3D models yet) rendered in DAZ Studio, postwork done in Photoshop. Hope you like.

Skype doesn't help my post count, but there are some things I just don't want to discuss in the forums.
Aa come on just between us here .
Yeah, I can understand that.
Bigh, you could always join us on Skype :D
