3d Digital Art

[ashliebelle]

* - sorry for the dead links! Hey guys! I just started working on my new 3d software, Maxon. Check out my first project! http://homepages.uc.edu/~keeneay/Maxon1.jpg* http://homepages.uc.edu/~keeneay/Maxon2.jpg* http://homepages.uc.edu/~keeneay/Maxon3.jpg* http://homepages.uc.edu/~keeneay/Maxon4.jpg* http://homepages.uc.edu/~keeneay/Maxon5.jpg* I didn't name them very creatively, and i wasn't up to making a new page for them Tell me what you think! The assignment was to make something using only primitive shapes, so we weren't allowed to warp anything into crazy shapes. That's why I picked something fairly geometric.

Looks nice. (Well, that's my oppinion...) A little tip: All the links in the chains seem to be in pi radians to the next, if you rotate them a little in different directions they would look more realistic.

[ashliebelle]

Thanks for the advice - I definitely changed them and they do look a lot more realisitic!

[Stalker]

Will it be possible to see a picture of the changed version?

[ashliebelle]

Here are my finals, which I am turning in tomorrow! http://homepages.uc.edu/~keeneay/sunnyplayset.jpg http://homepages.uc.edu/~keeneay/bombplayset.jpg Remember, I'm new at this, and this is my first ever thing... so it's not going to be Pixar-like or anything :-)

[WerBurN]

that totally freaking rocks! hehe, i dont know if i'd ever have the pacience for 3d comp art...

[GestaltAlteration]

I havent even fathomed the possibilitys of being an artist outside of pen and paper, I must say good work.

[Stalker]

Nice job, you seem really good at it.

[privatexeyes]

wow

[ashliebelle]

Thanks guys! Here's some other stuff... me playing around, really. These aren't for grades http://homepages.uc.edu/~keeneay/bowl.jpg http://homepages.uc.edu/~keeneay/island.jpg http://homepages.uc.edu/~keeneay/balls.jpg

[dougdrums]

I like the last one, that's creative!

[WerBurN]

honestly, those look alot more like pictures than like rendered art...they're soo detailed with the shading etc. ...especially the island one...wow

[wasup]

Those are very good. / / / / / / Me playing around with photoshop and drawing stuff I liked how it turned out...

[ashliebelle]

Wow! Thanks you guys! I'll be sure to keep posting my projects as they come up!

[Moetrix]

Wow, those pictures look awesome. Although I got kind of freaked out when I saw the one with the playset and the bombing in the background. It looks just like a dream I had for like a year ago, wich I had almost completely forgotten about!

[ashliebelle]

This is the first step of my next project! A baby grand piano... Keys are first... much copying and pasting here. This is roughly 30 minutes of work. http://homepages.uc.edu/~keeneay/piano1.jpg http://homepages.uc.edu/~keeneay/piano2.jpg

[Lucky27]

That's pretty cool, i wish i had artistic abilities.

[Stalker]

Is there different spaces between the white keys or is it just the resolution. Uhm, perhaps it's supposed to be like that? I have never played the piano... So far so good

[ashliebelle]

There are supposed to be spaces... if it's too regular, it will look fake. If i was going to do an electronic keyboard, i'd make them more exact, but on an old piano, the keys sort of find their own place.

[Lomebririon]

w00t! Nice keys. Makes me wish that my 3d modeler was working again.

[Kaniaz]

I remember trying 3D, I blew up the modeller. [Although I can proudly play the piano. Know this tune? BBBDCA,AAACBG,BAGGF#,AGEED]

[Death-Wuad]

pretty cool, i never heard of a program called maxon, ive heard of a company called maxon though, which makes cinema 4d. how long you been into this kinda stuff? ive been a cg artist for about 18 months now, some of my work: http://www.3dkingdom.org/modules.php?op=mo...17019cb4ffb23cd http://www.3dkingdom.org/modules.php?op=mo...17019cb4ffb23cd http://www.3dkingdom.org/modules.php?op=mo...17019cb4ffb23cd http://www.3dkingdom.org/modules.php?op=mo...17019cb4ffb23cd oh and btw, heres some advice: talent doesnt come from knowing how a program works, the best advice ive ever heard was to learn how to model creatively with the tools that are given to you (with an insationable amount of patience of course )

[Death-Wuad]

and also, it wouldnt be a bad idea to get involved with CG art forums. here a list of some good forums: www.cgtalk.com www.3dtotal.com www.3dluvr.com www.3dm-mc.com www.3dkingdom.org (id personally choose 3dtotal if i were you )

[Aphius]

Those are cool. I like the guns the best. I should post some pictures of what I've made. Well, they aren't really made in a proper program. More like screen shots of 3d Game Studio...

[ashliebelle]

Yeah! Cinema 4D is what I use... made by Maxon I've been a digital artist for a month and a half. Here's my latest! http://homepages.uc.edu/~keeneay/pianoprint.jpg
