Hey Tom,

That stuff looks great. I'm a post editor that has grown into 3D animation over the last 5 years or so. I mostly do a lot of logo or straight motion graphic work, but I did just finish a ton of virtual set stuff for the Florida Lottery.

Anyway, modeling is where I'm the weakest. Are you box/spline modeling or something more advanced??? Self taught or did you get some schooling? I'm jeleous of your detail

I use 3ds max by the way...

Jason

hi Jason, good to see some interest from a user of max

i would say about 90% of the modeling done so far is box-modeling, the rest was done with splines, if i remember right the springs, and the faceplate for the wheel, also the top seal for the gearbox was done with it, i use it a lot when u have a squarish object and then u have semi circles on the side of them, because the other way of doin it is boolean and that a terible tool.

i self taught myself for the first year or so and then found this great site http://www.3d-palace.com/ there are some free tuts there but the best one u ahve to buy i have brought 2 of them (the matrix apu one and the firefly one) and if u cna complete them u will have the skill to do anythign really.

btw i also did some more work







bascily done the intercooler and the radiator

and thanks for the comment jason

hope u like them

Thanks for the reply Tom!

3D palace looks like a cool site, I'll check out those tutorials. I go to http://forums.cgsociety.org/ for a lot of info...in reality, I know there's a ton of good tutorials on the net. It's just committing myself to sitting down and learning

So I need to get better at modeling...but I also want to learn Mental Ray...and I just got an upgrade to Combustion for compositing...and I need to start figuring out some High Def stuff for a future project...ugg the list just goes on and on...

Jason
