i m gonna change the power plant a little, insted of those splines I will add cylinders, even that will ook, "Solid"

i made 4 models this week, now no more modeling for the weekends

 

[gxsaurav]

for some reason, & some of my institute rivals coming here & copying my ideas, i m removing all the renders shown here, & also heavily changing the models shown to something really high poly & magnificant, but i won't be posting anything here now. Until it's done, it's a secret

 

[siriusb]

What happened to your city gx?

Here's my computer cabinet Zebronics Elegance. I haven't finished modelling it yet. Those edges sticking out above the dvd writer arent there in design mode and is driving me crazy. So I am going to model from scratch, again. Before that, I thought of showing a render.

And this is the same room, as always, in a 'different light':

[cool_dude_prav]

wow... Nikhil, SiriusB and Saurav...

U guys totally rock. I know these words are not enough appreciation, but I cant say anything more...

U guys have a cool future...

My city is going fine, 40% done, i m now making the road plan for it, well, infact it's hovercraft roads, so kind of different

i cannot show the stuff here, but i can mail u, as some of the institute rivals visit this site, & i don't want them to see & copy my stuff

although this is something they can never make, i just made this fountain, for the city, on the crossways, & inside a shopping mall, this is still under construction, the material & lights are only temp, i haven't added & PF Source in it yet, which i m still making, as once one fountain is made it's easy to make copies

anyway here is a preview, the grass is all green, which i have rectified now, it now has some brown dry grass too, also it looks better because of the lights, in this preview there is only one Omni

Edit: See below

But your Cabinet is marvelous man, give me a copy of the plastic material u r gonna use, & better , if u make a whole computer insted, & since u r making a computer also make a table, & since u r making table, also make a room

 

[gxsaurav]

the fountain layout, maps & lights are finalised. Lights will change once this is added in the city scenes, so that is just a preview, let me know how the grass concrete etc. Grass is made using HairFX

*img411.imageshack.us/img411/3630/back3mt.th.jpg

the animation is yet to come, i have to render 100 rames, & then the compositing will be done using After Effect, which has just started alongside 3D Max

 

[siriusb]

The grass is adorable. Got to learn hairfx.
For my cabinet, I searched for metallic paint but couldnt find any tutorial for making one. Right now I am just using a standard mat with a grey color. It just looks better because of skylight and fg.

 

[gxsaurav]

i got a plastic material, also a car paint like metal paint & a few other mental ray metal shaders, want it

 

[gxsaurav]

well, it takes a lot of time to render, 48 mins to be exect, anyway, i have skipped the naimation for now, will make it later when i make it with PF Source

here is the final layout, material of the scene are final,just that the lightning will change

animation

hey guys
i am cycleinmars
i am an amature animator who has a lot of creativity can anyone tell me whewre can i get the best free or shareware softwre for my animation
and how can i upload my files on the net so that everyone can veiw it

i have created more than 100 designs and animated a feww

where can i find good tutorials and other tools related to my animated carrer


i work in 3ds max r7

 

[gxsaurav]

welcome to 3d animation, pal

U can search on google, for 3D tutorials, also visit many such sites, like evermotion.org, 3dkingdom.org, 3dtotal.com & many more, whose link u will find there

for image hosting, u can use imageshack.us, also for video, U can simply use rapidshare.de or megaupload.com

kindly tell us your system specs, prefered renderer, area of experties, & a few renders of yours

 

[gxsaurav]

i m recreating the room sceen, this time with better & realistic materials, using Mental ray DGS materials, tell me, which color combo, & which floor looks best

[ShekharPalash]

wow cool work GX

 

[gxsaurav]

i asked a few people & they said, that the green one looks better, as the blue one looks kind of dull, so i m sticking to green walls

 

[gxsaurav]

lot work compleated....they look good enough for now...but not photo realistic

I switched to vray... the setup of lightning is easier then mental ray but materials are hard to make. I miss the DGS & Lume shaders

here are the updated render...they are not compleate though

My Room Render, need to change the bedsheet

CPU, Model

CPU & Modem were made in rhino3D, using Power solids & PowerNURBS

Hey gx,
The renders are awesome. Keep it up man. How did you do the keyboard? I wanted to model it but am a bit lazy to model it.
I learnt basics of vray but am yet to try it out because I have to learn the new materials.

 

[gxsaurav]

keyboard is made using splines & simply boxes for the buttons, since i find it very easy to work in splines. I tried Rhino3D & it's quite good, although not compleate i have to convert to IGES & 3D Max mesh anyway

anyway, i m adding new things & details to the scene, since my computer table is quite clean, i don't have CDs or books everywhere...i even posted on cgtantra forum & they said , add some uneenness, which i m trying to add

there are no wires yet, it will be added in the end. I modeled the TV Remote in Rhino

*img149.imageshack.us/img149/2987/model6rm.th.jpg

here is the old render of room, light setup is now evening or night, like what i have right now, no sunlight or skylight, only using photometric light. I used a tube (cylinder with vraylight material) to give the light

[RCuber]

Awesom dude. how much time did you take to make the whole thing from scratch??

 

[gxsaurav]

the computer table, umm, 7 months

well, i modeled it previously, but then started reading materials & lightning, so i was using my old models, but now , i m finalising it so restarted the modeling. The old models were made long back, when i just started reading 3d max, & i was preety bad at it, at that time. Insted of chamfer i used to give 2 iterations of meshsmooth & all models used to be highest poly, since i had more RAM

as i m finilasing it these days, I m remaking the models wherever required, like that keyboard is made of 16000 polys, but for this scene i remodled it, in just 2000 polys

 

[rarudhran]

IT IS A COOL ONE. THERE WAS AN ANOUNCEMENT IN THIS MONTH DIGIT ABOUT FREE 3DS MAX. CAN YOU GUIDE ME ABOUT THAT.
