Some artwork.
 

Random artwork from me. This was initially something made for a speed modelling contest (where you have to model something in 60 minutes). Then took it a bit further adding more instances of the flower and a background scene. The idea is it's a flower that has little speakers inside the bud. I will go back at some point and make a more detialed version (especially as the stork is such low detail) but for now it will do.

Re: Some artwork.
 

Very nice!

3D studio max?

I've tried doing a bit myself - can build ok models, but I can never skin or light the scene to do it justice.

Re: Some artwork.
 

I use Modo 302. I still use Max for dynamics and for Vray though. I just can't put this stuff down, love it.

Did you ever try Rhino 3D Dan?

Re: Some artwork.
 

Sure did, used it a fair bit before I got more commercial software. Great little package and free as well (from memory).

Re: Some artwork.
 

Erm that would have been the Beta then - its at least 200Euro for the very basic as an educational package - now at V4.

I still love it as it is, ans always has been, totally NURBS based.

Re: Some artwork.
 

Yeah, I'm talking about 5 years ago.

Not bad, Silo is about £150 as well. A subD modeller same as modo, just without the bells and whistles. Got any work you can share with us?

I also use Maya for some NURBS based work and animation (nurbs means Non Uniform Rational B Splines, that clear???) :p I am tempted to move it all over to XSI though, the new version 7 looks awesome. Still, I don't think I will ever put Modo down, it's awesome.

Re: Some artwork.
 

Haven't done anything worthwhile for ages

Tend to actually use it for 2d stuff - its got some VERY robust tools for curves, so used it to layout stickers and stuff (the ones that were on the front of my SV were originally done in Rhino)

Have a few current projects tho that can maybe be polished up a bit - working on some designs for LARP swords :)

Will see what I can come up with.

Downloading a Trial version of Modo as we speak :)

Re: Some artwork.
 

Cool. The full version of Modo is only £400 too, and it's movign so fast as a new peice of software. Not sure about the curve tools though, not done much with curves in Modo but as a modeller/renderer it's pretty unbeatable.

Re: Some artwork.
 

Rhino never had a very good renderer - it was 1st and foremost a modeller.

When I was doing a lot more stuff I used to model in Rhino, do Layout in MAX and render in Lightwave.

Have to come up with a new tool-chain I think.
