Well this should put you all at ease guys coz I was 55 last month.
Only got my new version 8 this month and I am completely new to 3d.
I have done a lot of conventional artwork using oils etc but 3d has facinated me fo sometime now so I must give it a try.

[JoelOtron]

Hey Wes--I think our children will have a definite edge in the 3d graphics field. My 3 year old daughter sits at my computer drawing cool stuff with my wacom pen in photoshop--which we then print and hang on the fridge. What happened to the days of crayons and cionstruction paper? :)

[FusionDG]

31 here

Hum, I'm a bit surprised because I was expecting a younger age group too.

[VestanPance]

28 + 3 kids + 1 wife = OUCH ! :scream:

PS: Hey! Who deleted me earlier post? That was wierd.:surprised

[ThirdEye]

They tried to modify server settings at cgtalk and some posts were erased ;)

[D_Caldie]

I'm one of the youngest it seems...slightly older than DeathCarrot having recently turned 16... Hopefully CG skill comes with age... I am still only beggining of course.

[mimo8]

... as it seems
26

[malc0lm]

19 years here...
Nice to see that 16year olds behave mature.. It's not every day I see that (at least not here :/).
Got a new car a couple of hours ago (Ford Focus), gotta go drive.. err modell it :P

Cheers

EDIT: By 'here' I mean were I live.. not on the forum

I think that you need 30 posts before you're allowed to do that also. Then 50 posts I believe before you can do the custom descrip under your ID.

See for yourself:

http://ponke008.tripod.com/3D.htm

I want to start on some character animation but I really look up to it :rolleyes:, I don't seem to get the basics. But I read about new tutorials coming up for MOCCA, so I'll stay tuned ;).

Today I had a friend over at my house, he's a dj, very good with keyboard, mixers, and pc's :). He wanted to make animations for his music. I showed him a lot today. I burned the demo, bunch of plugins, examples, tutorials and the complete documentation for him :applause:.

So we have yet another new Cinema4D user :buttrock:

[AdamT]

You know what's weird about this (other than that I'm 40 yrs. old and still mucking about with 3D)? The vast majority of y'all are within 3 yrs. of each other--between 29-31 yrs. old! I have no idea what that means, if anything, but it seems an odd coincidence.

[twilight]

It's not that surprising...
When 3D first appeared in the early 90's most of us were deciding what to do with our careers. So i guess 3D was the next big thing at that time (still is?).
Anyway, after 11 years in this business i can only say i still love it and i'd do it all over again.

As for the younger folks... enjoy it!! Being younger only means you have more time to play with C4D!!!

:)

[LucentDreams]

I'm a mere twenty

And as for the mention of how mature the 15 and 16 year olds are, I have to agree, why couldn't i have students like you guys 90% of my students drove me nuts. Especially these two girls both 15 who sit there and discuss everything in the world with their annoying "AS IF" tone and "OH MY GOD" expressions, and suddenly bring up a topic about how annoying theTwelve year old students can be and were they really like that when they were that young. All I could think is your still that annoying, was I ever that bad when I was your age, heck no.

I find is funny how all the Maxon employees are bringing the average down! As for why most are in the 29 - 31, how many are planning on making this into a career change? seems llike a typical age to do this.So have been doing 3D for five years, C4D for four almost five years now and loving it eveerry step of the way. Amazing how much its changed since then, and four versions in five years, thats awesome work guys.

[Peoples]

Howdy Ho!! Been extremely busy with my studies - banging my head against the wall trying to master my Java & C programming skills at school - I'd rather be modelling!! Sorry......a bit OT there...

Well - anyway, I'm 22 and counting..

Seeya soon - btw, have you guys checked my site?:wavey:

[Cinema1954]

Now to skew the average... I'm 48 (49 next month).

[anobrin]

39
and frankly, in the early stages of a SEVERE midlife crisis:annoyed:

[ndat]

Ouch Mid-life Crises’s suck, I'm only 17 but Im already questioning my life. Turns out I don’t like college or being a doctor that much :(. All I want to do is sit around and be rich, to bad I need a fortune to do that :) lol.

[dandavis]

37 I think

[dmthurman]

to skew it a bit more, Just turned 47. I'm actually weathy and didn't know it. A recent 3D world Mag. article mentioned an influx of "WEALTHY INDIVIDUALS" who mearly do 3d as a hobby. It's great to take up a hobby and suddlenly get rich...

On side note, I saw a post about a 3 year old doodling with a tablet and photoshop. I've got my 5 year old girl up and running on rhino...I figure she'll pass me up at around 8 or 9......

That was me, dmthurman :)

I let my daughter have the mouse and I bring "zygote kid" onto the editor and let her move his arms around and stuff. At this point she literally is better on the computer than I was when I was 20 --and scratching my head in front of a mac classic.

[dmthurman]

(still waiting, no response to my email...)

[flingster]

LOL....you cynic you....and i thought it was just me!

(i forgot about that bit....suppose i better get them sent off and get final serials....it took ages for r7...so suppose no dif this time...had to eventually ring up and it was sorted pretty quick time...so give em a ring if youre worried....i only just got r8 after ordering it ages and ages ago...and a bit of stress and pressure on maxon uk and got it through the post...so would always recommend calling them.):thumbsup:

[Peter C.]

Turning 27 in 2 weeks, and I still have no clue as what I want to do with my life....does anyone ever?

[LucentDreams]

Personally i wanted to be an animator at the age of twelve, I heard a radio broadcast about some animation stuents at Sheridan, and made up my mind. Everything I have done since in my life has been to achieve that goal. every highschool course I took was influenced on will this help me as an animator and an artist. (save for the few required courses)

[AdamT]

You're lucky. I didn't figure out what I wanted to do until I was about 37.

[Peter C.]

37? Hehe...now I can sleep better :bounce:

[xeno]

well as one of the last c4d users who hasnt told their age, i will also of course grant u all the pleasure of knowing my age!

I believe it was 19..or something like that..

And hope to still be doing something with c4d by the time i hit say...ehm 30? :D that shouldnt be too hard to acomplish right ? ;)

[Pate]

36.

Nice to notice there's a lot of us thirty-somethings in here. :)

For me CG is just a hobby, I'm a programmer by profession.

[ndat]

Man... Aging is so futile, I mean the only reason why are cells age is because every time they divide a little piece of the DNA gets erased. Until you get to the point where your eating into too much of the necessary DNA for the cell to functionally divide. This is pretty much because our DNA is in a line, in a lot of microscopic organisms its round so they don’t have the problem. Another interesting fact is that as well as the ability to divide rapidly cancer cells for some reason have away around the erase of DNA and the divide limit. So when is someone going to cure aging? They better hurry cause I don’t want to get all wrinkly :)

I considered starting a new thread so we could all see what we all look like--kinda weird having relationships with people on the forums and never knowing who they are or what they look like. I thought I would instead add it on to this thread as there are enough of these off-topic (but fun) threads springing up and the mods would surely dissaprove of yet another one.

So, heres my mugshot:

BTW, how many posts do you need to put up an avatar?

you need 30 I think.

but some people have them at 20 it seems random.
