**yeah i gotta work on my 3d skills. but its just SO hard you know? **
keep at it is all i can say, i went into 3d very hard for about 1-2 years while studying graphic design at collage. and my mind nearly exploded 
I just kept working on it, using alot of tutorials, and just working on it. I’m still learning as well.
OH yeah 3d buzz rocks (for 3d) kirupa for flash…hehe 
Ive got subscription to all there vids. A bit of advice if you want your cds early send some blank cds to the crew and you will be moved up to the more important people in the sending list.
::by the way i think only maya has Subd’s but dont quote me on that.
Awwwesome picture EG! :beam:

**it will. Just don’t try to go too fast, too soon. The better your foundation, the more consistent your income will be. If you only know a small portion, but know it well, you can get and keep a client. However, if you have a solid base to work from, there isn’t really a prog they can throw at you (within reason) that you can’t figure out with a few tutorials…
A big thing is to show current work on the web. A way to get this, is to do free sites for friends, their bands, your chess club, your Mom’s collection of Beanie Babies, etc. Then when the oportunity for a paying gig does come up, you already have the portfolio to get the gig. Also, get a contract you like ready to go. Even start having your friends sign the contract (for $0), and get them to sign off of everything as it is created.
This will prepare you for when you have to go up against guys like me who have been doing this forever… After a certain point, experience means little…**
Ooo good advice from the Revmister! Whats all that about contracst though, you confused me! 
An other good thing to do when you want to become good within design is to look at things that have been designed. And ask yourself what you like about it, what you don’t like. What makes it’s a good design, what doesn’t. How they did it, and why they did that way…
I’m still in a mediadesign school in Norway so I try as often as I can to look at good well designed pages to learn from them. And at the same time make my own stuff, because I learn a lot just doing things 
cool. thanks for the advice.
Soulty i just download them. how do i sign up for the list or whatever? i just watched basic modeling so i am roaring to go!
if you sign up as a member , at the home section you will see the title Video Training Modules, with a image of a cd with 3dbuzz look listen learn, click on that , and then you will have to fill out the form and select what videos you want, These days it takes a while to get the vids, the more you post at there forum the more quicker you get the videos, and like i said if you help them out with some blank cds that helps as well.
Niiice Bot Geek!
I kinda wish you did somethin different with the legs tho.
Maybe if they were the same color as the shoulders to weigh it down or somethin. Or if the shape was as sculpted as the torso, doesn’t feel as tho they got the same attention as the rest of the body.
Big fan, if you left it as is would still be beautiful image.
envious as always ,

ok i will check that out then, i got like 3 posts lol. but i will keep posting when i see an opertunity, and mail a few CDs. like just CD R or RW?
Ask them , send angela a pm. i think CDR is fine, by the way we should stop talking about this, cause its kinda spamming in egeeks thread. PM me if you want to know more.
ok i just singed up but i got one question about it so i will PM you.
Goodness…I go away for a few ours and there’s all these posts.:!:
As for the mech, I will be making more and hopefully even animate the sucker. 
good to hear eg!! How is the animation rigs on cinema? easy /hard?
It’s not hard actually, just takes a lot of time to apply the bones to similulate movement.
Also takes a long time to render as well since I don’t have access to my school’s G4’s no more.
there is this great program called “Motionbuilder” mentioned on 3d buzz which can take your bones from your 3d app, and in motionbuilder in REAL TIME you can animate your character!!
check it out http://www.kaydara.com/
oh wow, that would probably save me a lot of time, thanks! :beam:
no probs, its only cost 100$ or so, and just check if it allows cinema bones, it should , probably a plugin if not in the retail version.
still that could come in handy for really anything like that you do. so it could be a good investment. but i am modeling a simple watch right now and its acctually turning out ok! so i will post that as well. but isnt houdini an animation tool as well? But i think just a walking sequence of this sucker would be soo cool! man now that i am leaning modeling 3d is so fun! iight i gotta go, its getting late and stuff.
btw you can mostlikely try before you buy on motion builder too, so you might want to check it out.
houdini is another 3d app. The Full houdini had , modeling, dynamic, particles, and animation all in one, then there are other version which you can get a lite version and and other versions which are more specialised if your not intrested in using the other parts in which the full version has.
OH MY GOD THAt’S SO AWESOME I WANT A MECH LIKE THAT EG IS MY HERO AGAIN!
i see soulty…i finished modeling my watch and refuse to touch it again lol.
