3ds Max!

[Kornowski]

Thanks Jordan, Yeah, I'm going to see what I can do in Photoshop

The images above are rendered at 1280 x 1024, took about 30 seconds I think...

My specs are weak: Celeron 2Ghz and 256mb of ram

Kerkythea = photo realistic rendering which takes lot longer

 

[dmaksimov]

Erm, a combined effort between me and a friend, probably about 30 - 40 mins

man 30-40 mins that looks pretty awsome.

I actually went to college for 3D animation but never entered the field. Didn't like it, and ended up going IT, but that is a whole other story.

I was in college about 8 years ago, and I was using 3DsMax, Softimage, and Maya. I see that the newer versions come with all kinds of preloaded textures and templates for things these days which makes it easier to use

I actually learned 3D rendering on an applicaiton called True Space (like version 3 i think) and it would take my computer at school about 3 full days to render a full scene. This was back before render farms were around.

I really hated it when some jerk rebooted my PC when it was rendering.

You're welcome.

TrueSpace 3.2 is free for download now. It used to cost several hundred dollars, but Blender is loads better anyway.

Thanks

tlarkin, Yeah, I can imagine it was a lot harder back then, you got any work that you've done?

lol, That's got to be annoying!

I did one using Kerkythea today, the orginal is 1280x1024 but I resized it for uploads sake

It took 1.5-2 hours (wasn't home) to do at Photomap - High + AA .03

 

[Kornowski]

Here's something I've done in college, still isn't done yet though, took about 3 minutes to render

 

[Kornowski]

Just rendering something now, probably going to take another 20 minutes or so, I've been at 100% load for like 20mins now

 

[Kornowski]

Well, here it is, what do you think?

 

[The_Beast]

Are you still using 3d max???

 

[Kornowski]

Yeah, They're still in 3DS Max, Why?

 

[The_Beast]

your past renders didn't look that good, these new ones look really realistic

 

[Kornowski]

I know, I'm just getting more used to it

 

[Kornowski]

Something I've just done

Still using 3DS Max

 

[lovely?]

i am terrible with 3d rendering software, but is there any way to smooth out the lines and give it a kind of glow, like real life? or is that too advanced stuff?

 

[Kornowski]

You mean like in the renders I made of the teapot? In 3DS Max?

 

[Kornowski]

These all took 30mins to render

Look good though! What do you think?

 

[Jabes]

nice danny

 

[Kornowski]

Thanks man!
