/me is waiting too but not too eagerly cuz I’ve been waiting for it for like… A VERY LONG TIME and I’m already kind of pissed at VALVe.

I’m getting my new computer on thursday! I should’ve got it like a month ago but the service was soo fast that we waited 4 weeks and then decided to order it from another place 😉

It’s got CLUB 3D R9800PRO 128MB 256-BIT  
edit: I’m gonna get PRo not SE ffs  
gonna get some Doom3 done :bad:

DDD that car is brilliant dude…  
I wonder how long it took that artist to model that car and render it, probably some heavey numbers and lots of hours… I’m am sure it was worth it for that guy to see that end result… awesome  
I do know what you mean tho… no matter how good you are at a 3d, there is always some image you run into that puts you back a few pegs… makes you wonder how someone did a certian thing or got a certian effect…  
I found this image the other day on a LW site I hang out at, I thought it was awesome as well,… just another Lightwave artist doing his/her thing…

There are so many talented people out there doing 3d it is unbelieveable. I find it fascinating to see people so proud of there work, proud of all the time and effort they put into a certian piece of art or animation, that they want to share it with others… they just put it out there man, post it … showing some of their best and worst… that’s guts…  
Lightwave is a kick but program, people are doing some really cool stuff with it… here is a Lightwave link… “Right to the sourse”…  
some good stuff in here… “Lightwave in Action” …now this is talent…

those are nice. I am going to be designing some rims for Diablo in the coming months, so this is my chance for some photoreal stuff. I truly suck at anything outside of modeling and textures. I couldnt build a light rig to save my life. But this stuff inspires me.

dont think thats him, you are probably refering to that tank or tank like machine he created a while back.

//think he uses 3dmax as well
