well i was fooling around in MAX once again and came up with this little piece. donno what to call it, anyone want to help me come up with a nane? comments and suggestions are welcome, i have not yet done anything but render it so i am open to anything in photo shop as well.
ummm… how the heck did you make that???
can’t think of a name though:sigh:
simple simple simple! i made a cylender in the front view. then went back to perspective and made sure it was the way i wanted it (note these are the gold tubes). I then added a bend modifier. cloned the first tube then rotated the clone and placed it in the right hand side. i then went and made a crystal (great tut i took a while back found here). after making the crystal i added a bit of noise and zoomed in. that easy!
edit: for the colors: I added two standerd Max 5 materials, Reflection_Lake_Gold and Reflection_Lake, for both these i then went to opacity and checked the box next to it. then i clicked the tab that said ‘none’ and changed that to ‘Fall off’.
Call it the-Crystalized Tubes.
nice pic! =)
hmm…bulldog sounds good to me!

Awesome mdipi.
thanks guys!

lol ok…how bout for a name “crystal-hyperspeed” cause it looks like it is moving very fast…
dunno about ‘hyperspeed’ mike, personally i don’t think it looks like it’s moving much - maybe you wanted to do that in PS? (or maybe not!)
dunno about a name, but i think it looks really cool, even though it’s not moving 
keep it up!
Stuart
and i don’t think you should do too much in PS, coz it looks nicely balanced as it is
Unless you want that rugged look on the silverish “blob”…
try smacking on a meshsmooth
Just a suggestion, I have no idea what it’ll look like…
Eilsoe, it is meshed smooth lol! i will incress the what ever…man i cant type…i think i hit my head…

There’s that great tut on 3dbuzz about the alien head!
I’ve DL’ed about 600Mb’s of VTM’s already!

have u tried using raytrace materials yet?
they always look good with abstract stuff!
i would if i could get my max buttons to work 
please look at my thread!
looks like an elephant, the thing comming at u looks like the trunk or something and it seems like there are ears and eyes stuff, while the gold tubes look like a cage its in or somethin :trout: , can anyone else see it?!
