Who here usng this animation program?

I am studying it at the moment at college and find i can do loads i just want to see if anyone else has done any simple/complex animations on it they wish to share

Plus has ANYONE got a nice side image for a space fighter ship im trying to find one so i can model it out for a project

I’m using it since, like a week. I’m a noob, but have to learn it for some research assignment at school. Building a lego character in it lol. Looks weak :p IMO I should stick to ps.. pff

^^how long ya got i could do you a mesh hehe

Your lucky my school as an outdated 3D animation program called Organica, I have to make a 3 second animation thats only allowed 15fps. If anyone else has used Organica you'd agree with me that it is terrible.

Well this is a specialist course and im using 3d max 8 latest is 9 soo...

il try and get you some of my stuff but i dont have much new stuff rendered just old models

Ive used it, very nice. Ive done a short animation of a space scene (planets rolling by with sun and stars then space ship ) Took me ages and then my pc had to be reformatted a few weeks ago so ive lost it all .

Good luck studying it!

for my intro i do a space scene 4 ships 1 bad other 3 in formation middle one gets blown up oother 2 roll to the left and other right to avoid the blast hehe


my current project is a BIG battle scene me and another kid are doing it soo its gona be good

iv gota come up with a fightship design though i have to make one to show advanced modeling big ship im importing hehe

ideas would be handy i want fighters to match this...

Space Ship

I did not make it but prob could do something to this standard or close

....you have no idea how much detail is in that one ship haha uses all the college RAM up with just that no animation...gota use my laptop probs


sorry fo4 its size im linking form another forum and im not resizing it so live with it

edit il just give the link

COOL did u make that?
it looks like a game lol

naa its a star trek ship lol and i did not make it lol

Lol cant sorry. Gotta show my teacher eventually that i actually can work this program

Got this dude in my clas whom is like an expert on 3dsmax, and maya etc. He even build's characters, and currently is working on a game.. his creations look soooo cool.

i have 3ds max ...good prog to learn ^^

dude dont just tell me you got it..show us!!!!

I ews Maya

well just post some home made animations new or old crap or good i want to see what everyone here is able of

Wong, you should do a tutorial on animating this stuff. I really need a good one, since my lego character has to walk lol.

Ill post a screen of this thing when im finsihed, which should be around christmas next year.

hmm thats an idea i got a load of old sheets from when i started animating

plus when this forums get a mod prob not me i dont know enough i dont think they can sticky it

yay im back at college today so il make a quick animation and post the vids here iv only got 3hours soo dont expect nothing amazing but iv got about a year for my big animation and write ups etc

Yeah it's an awesome program! We had a few classes of it last year, and I really liked it! I made an X-Wing once.. The teacher looked at it and said: "Cool! What is it?" cuz he never saw the Star Wars movies

I should look for that file, I must have saved it somewhere..

sorry i got a lot of work to do and this is my only rendered movie on the computer here i have


click the image for the vid

its soo simple but i like it was my first rendered animation

if you guys want i can blow up a moon or asteroid with a laser there quick and easy


And this is what im going to model soon from this image nothing else



edit forgot the link haha

I also use 3DS Max ^^ The program is great but I can't find any tutorials on making water and cloth

But I've seen what u can do with it INCREDIBLE

EDIT:
my current project(Without textures and lighting )

far from incredible iv not shown you anything what i can do at my max lol

im still learning haha but i love doing this and i recon im fairly good

proof

How do u learn how 2 use it ?

I d/led the tutorials on the homepage and I use tutorials on http://www.3dtotal.com , http://www.3dtutorials.sk and http://www.cgsociety.org. There was 1 other site but I didn't really learn much from that

i got a good teacher who has taught me for 3 years on AUTOCAD and 3d Max

I'm sure that was expensive eh ?

! I'm still a n00b I've been using Max for about 4-5 months now and I've still got ALOT 2 learn

naa its free im under 18 lol but iv got a lot to learn aswell i cant do humaniod animations very well but i can..im learning another tech for doing it though

*JAWDROP* *stutter,splutter* u lucky...

or was it possibly one of u relatives ? If that guy was a "real" teacher (sum who learnd/studied 3D-whateva), where did u get such an incredible service ?


P.S I might PM u if I need help ...that's only if I'm allowed 2

Well he is a very good teacher and im learning a lot from him and if you need help i wil do what i can but iv got a lot of work to do on my course and im planning a massive project (well not that big) but i need to learn a lot to do the rest of my course
