3d art?

Does anyone else work with 3d cgi art programs here? If so what programs do you use? Do you have any renders?

I made this using the wonderful program Mudbox. It is just a head, and the coloring you see on it is experimental.

Wow, it's like totally abstract. I like it, muy bueno.

Its actually an aliens head. But the alien is very abstract and the coloring is temporary because I would like to give it the appearance of being both red and green and black at the same time.

Huh?

Aha. Yes, I have been using 3dstudio max for a few years, but now I'm in theory branching out. Using plugins like FumeFX, Vray, need to hone my skillz to be employable. I'll need to look into things like zBrush too. How long have you been doing 3d stuff? Your, err, sculpture is interesting, and does look good.

The bump/normal map, it seems, is great.

Around a year or so.

You looking for work in the VFX industry, or just a keen hobbyist? Do you have any specific aspirations, in terms of "I'd like to make that!"?

Not really, I'm working on a few things right now, but nowhere near the skill some people have. I have another picture I made as well, which is now on the Rhino 3d website. http://gallery.rhino3d.com/Default.asp?i=37432

Does Google SketchUp count?

It's a pretty good start!

Especially with your textures. A normal map would really bring out the potential depth of the scratches and such in that render, and an advanced renderer like Vray would sex up the lighting a notch. Set yourself something difficult to do and go for it, is my advise. Not something *insanely* difficult to start with, like a humanoid... but you know, something challenging, then build your skills and portfolio by changing what you're doing. It may take weeks/months, but in the end you'll really be proud, and have progressed in your abilities too

I'm working on a tank, but after I plan to do some architecture/interiors after that, and then something biological after that. A friend linked me to one of his associates latest renders, which was irritatingly good. Just a book case, but the detail he'd done on it made it fantastic. So, you can make the most dull and everyday things, but if you put it together well, it doesn't matter what it is; people will like it
