Default Showcase your 3D Animation & artwork

Just wanted to share this, I just started 3D Studio Max 7 in my insti, so far only one class, & basic info only, what are primitives, how to make them etc, but I went a bit far myself & learned Vertex & Edit Poly, along with Meshmotth modifier, not too much, just begining, I have made something I would like to share, let me know how it is, first is a pic of the temple static & other is the rendered movie of the Animation, only 42 KB, so anyone can download & play with quicktime

Camera View with global lights, no lights added by me



Download the animation

Cheetah...arena multimedia course on maya wont teach u everything. Only the basics perhaps some intermediate topics.
To work like expert grab a copy of the gnomon workshop cd/dvd legally ?? yes legally. Order legally and watch the video tut in wmp/divx player and become elite.

Cheetah, I m doing ADIM course from Arena Multimedia, & yes Arena only teaches U about 90% of Max or Maya, U have to find a few things yourself

I will try for the Video tutorial, legally if required

Actually once you use Amapi 3d you will get to know how easy it is to model objects in it.... (it's as easy as playing with clay)

Even digit(ch!p) rated it 5/5 for modelling fetures...

Also the effects like glass, refraction and reflection are much easier to apply in Amapi that 3DSMAX....

I have deleted amapi now and I'm still sorry for it... Coz as it turns out that Amapi is dead now.... It has been replaced by amapi pro which is a totally different thing...

EDIT : Image removed


I got a problem, I think I presed somekey or changed some seting which I don't remember, but when I click on any object it changes to wireframe mode as long as the mouse button is clicked, how to solve this

Hmm, I have learned more of the material editor, I found a tutorial for creating a gold material & with that as reference I made my own Alumunium Material

& another tutorial for glass, now I know about 50% of material editor, Blinn, Metal & Phong

I made something, initially I was going to make the Lord of the ring, but I didn't found any proper tutorial teaching lightning basics, so I skipped it & came up with this, the legs for the table are not allised, but are jaggy cos U r watching a refracted body of it through the glass

Optimisation, if done nicely can result in really fast rendering

Well, I found the tutorials from the best site of all google.com

3Dnuts.com, xidium3d.com etc

I updated the glass table, the base plane, was initially a red color carpet, but I thought Y not marble floor, so I took my phone, snapped a pic of my room floor & placed it as a diffuse map, & came up with this new one, also created a Wood table, which defies all laws of physics, as it has heavy alumunium legs, so no one can lift it

Glass Table with Marble ground



Wood Table



Can somebady plz tell me how to export the materials I have used in a scene as a material library, so that I can use it in other scenes, I don't know it yet, so I m providing the whole Max scene, just open this & open material editor to see the various materials created, the base material might ask for a marble bitmap

Here is the Mat Library, 6 KB

Absolutely superb gx, just awesome
I'm a little interested in 3dsmax, but I'm not going anywhere to learn
Can u or anyone on this forum suggest some good tutorials which start with the absolute basics of 3dsmax 7 and progress further?
I've no experience with 3dsmanx whatsoever, but do have some experience with Photoshop and PSP
Thanks

I recommend that U join a Institution which teaches Animation, but more then that, what is required is that U should be devoted for it, don't learn Animation just because everyone is learning, learn it because U want to do something in it, make a carrier in it,

U can learn the hard way, search for various tutorials on the net or buy a book for 3Ds Max

I have found a way to save my material as a material library, so I m removing the table for downloading & updating the link with the material library, just save it to your max\materials folder

Well, I just started leering polygon editing, now since I got my 2nd sem exam date, I m quitting Max for a few days, this scene is still under construction, I m going to add a table lamp in it & proper chess pawns, but that later, right now I m going back to read premiere, Director & Sound Forge



Everything in this scene is made by my, except for the Chairs, although I added the metal material on it. The pawn is made by reading a tutorial & applying the gx gold material found in he material library posted above, the legs of the table are like an example of Polygon editing, the chess board surface texture was given with max, the texture of the table is taken by the pic of my own room table by my phone, also the wall has the real texture of my room wall

So, until I come back, think of a lot of ideas of what could be added, but think simple, don't think of adding a human figure, that’s too hard for me now, when I only know about 10% of polygon editing

BTW I have found out that Amapi 3d now comes by the name of Amapi Pro...

www.eovia.com

It great as usual.... But they have removed the ability to edit textures.... So it's basic purpose is modelling only..

Plus it only exports in 3ds format which for some reason doesn't open very well in 3Ds...

Hmm, I have learned curve editing via Splines & Nurbes Curvs, & made my own chess King & elephant pawn, the old rook was made with a tutorial, & I have also made that Bottle & flower pot, although the flower was given in max

I would say it's v1.3 of my work, the robot will be added later now
