DarthTofu Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I wrote up some stuff for a short series I wanted to do to parallel (sp?) Zoot Wars for when I got Max... Then I realized that Max has a really complicated interface... I should probably download a couple o' tutorials and get back to work on that... Damn you, AP classes! 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Max's interface isn't that complicated (its actually one of the easiest to understand on the market). You just need to get used to it. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krytos Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Wow, it's been too long since I've posted here! It just ain't right I tells ya! Part of a movie/animation project I did for uni - I did the scene work (all the animations, dynamics and textures involved there as well) and lighting. As well as optimising the scene to get it all rendered over a weekend, which was a tall order when a single frame took 20 minutes to render originally.I fixed his little red waggon good.My mate did the character, and her animations. Thing's about partners that can get annoying - him leaving all the work to you, expecting you to do stuff he was meant to do, using an old 3d model - and not doing the animation properly! (I spent hours talking to him over the walking, and he never fixed it, she flies ) Just two renders unfortunately.http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/419/river0ag.th.jpgWater uses Reactor's dynamic water so the fish that swim effect the ripples as well as has effect later on when the character throws something in. Clouds are 3d and animated (don't remember if that worked perfectly though)http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/2681/rock1eb.th.jpgPart of the opening scene. Just watching over the rock as clouds drift by. Final gather looks cool, but is a CPU killer. Some over the top glaring going on too. MR's glare is difficult to use, but does have more realistic falloffs and general look to the Video post effects supplied by Max.------ Some random pot plant creature thingy ma-bob.http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/9403/potplant2xd.th.jpgI shouldn't have used such a low f-stop with mental ray on it http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/8307/potplant029yw.th.jpgClose up. Here I used max to render out the z-buffer and then Photoshop to do the rest. It's faster and smoother - but lacks some realism as when the blur becomes to great, Photoshop can't see around the objects and the blur gets weird edges. http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://img152.imageshack.us/img152/1333/3dartistbanneranimationws1.gifhttp://img154.imageshack.us/img154/4026/rebellionbannerdi2.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krytos Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 @Tofu: Have anything in particular you won't to learn? I could probably write up a tute, but need something to write it on. @Mad: Do you have a time frame for that movie? Or is it just do it as you please? -------------Oh yeah, remember my "Super A-Wing"? Well, a little while back, I updated it by remodelling it. No textures, yet.http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/8900/awing063kv.th.jpghttp://img180.imageshack.us/img180/7105/awing056uq.th.jpghttp://img259.imageshack.us/img259/3298/awing048pe.th.jpghttp://img259.imageshack.us/img259/8890/awing038or.th.jpghttp://img180.imageshack.us/img180/8697/awing028xp.th.jpghttp://img180.imageshack.us/img180/5234/awing016xk.th.jpg And boom:http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/6389/explosion8ww.th.jpg http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://img152.imageshack.us/img152/1333/3dartistbanneranimationws1.gifhttp://img154.imageshack.us/img154/4026/rebellionbannerdi2.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender_16 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 That is awesome Krytos! I'm not big on pink engines but it seems to work here making it look kinda creepy. You'd almost expect Sith to be using it. Hey Mad, I know you've been busy but what ever happened to the model of that Tie starfighter I sent you designs for? EDIT: Gah! I've got to change my avatar but it'll have to wait until I can get my new computer and have it straightened arround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 @Kryt: Great fighter! I don't really have a timeline yet. I have to finish writing the script and then i shall start working on the all-CGI bits. After that I have to decide which of my friends plays who, get costume, get a camer and film. After that the post-production will be a bitch. Anyway I am aiming at having released it by May 2008. @Def: I may actually use that for the bad guy's ship do i shall surely model it once i have finished the Star Destroyer i am working on. Speaking of Star Destroyer. Mine is slowly moving along and starting to take shape. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/thedarknesswip2.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthTofu Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 A tutorial on creating irregular objects (Say, parallelagrams, maybe making a simple irregular object, like a pen or pencil) would be appreciated, Krytos. That is, assuming that you have time. BTW: Your 3D stuff looks awesome.

Mitth_raw_nuruodo Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I'm impressed, both of you. Krytos, you want that A-Wing in ZW2? Chaos, Panic, Disorder, Destruction.....My work here is done.

Krytos Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I'm impressed, both of you. Krytos, you want that A-Wing in ZW2? Meh, I'm not fussed either way. Wanna use it, go for it. Don't wanna don't. If I can think of a reason to HAVE a small fighter, I might as well use it On a side note, did I ever tell anyone I hate texturing? Because I do. I hate texturing. Maybe I should stop trying to do things the quick and easy way ... http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://img152.imageshack.us/img152/1333/3dartistbanneranimationws1.gifhttp://img154.imageshack.us/img154/4026/rebellionbannerdi2.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Texturing is i believe the most boring thing that has to be done. Must be due to the fact that I am not very good at doing it. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, well I just had two great experiences. I've done it before - and while trying NOT to sound arrogant, they've come out alright (RR people will know what I'm talking about ).But, I was doing some texturing for the A-Wing - just the blasters - and it just wouldn't work ... maybe I was being finicky.I then tried making a texture for a creature I just modelled ... umm .. well .. yeah, that was more or less an experience of failure. http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://img152.imageshack.us/img152/1333/3dartistbanneranimationws1.gifhttp://img154.imageshack.us/img154/4026/rebellionbannerdi2.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad78 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I recommend you use particules with particle combustion for making the skies.A few splines should allow for lightning. Meta-particles (can't remember the exact name) should be great for making sludge and stuff like that.There are a few tips Tofu. Be more precise if you want more info. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't just make broad, pompous, order-like requests of you people and have them filled in exquisate detail? *Sigh* Alright, then, first thing's first, I suppose. How do I make a background and how do I make it look nice and dreary? I'll want something blackish-brown with a fair amount of very dark clouds if that's possible. Maybe even lightning- could I do that with a splin-atized lightning-like-shape with interior lighting throughout? Just guess work, there. I still haven't learned to do spline stuff, yet. I'll be checking some tutorials on those out, soon. 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krytos Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Well, it sounds like it could be fun ... but a lot of work as well. I'd skip this one Tofu - apart from the extremely steep learning curve you're facing, and hours upon hours of work, your oppositions will have experience and team mates.Still, if you want to use it as some incentive to get started - then do so. Draw up some rough images for an idea and try to make it. http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://img152.imageshack.us/img152/1333/3dartistbanneranimationws1.gifhttp://img154.imageshack.us/img154/4026/rebellionbannerdi2.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
