Hello hello! What's all this shouting?

Hi there!

I’ve been wanting to write this post for more than a week but I had some unfortunate internet problems. Luckily this area is part of some goverment test project and a few days ago some people came to install a free fiber-optic internet/tv/phone connection here, hehe. So I’m back online. :slight_smile:

Anyway, I'm Rens, 24 years old, and I'm currently living in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.

In August I will be attending the 3D Animation & Visual Effect program at VFS, which is pretty exciting to say the least.

95% of my posts are posted in the 3ds max forum, but I’m trying to get some more posts in the daily sketch forum, too much fun not to!

Here’s a picture of me and my precious mug; 1000 points to whoever guesses where that mug is from:

I’ll see if I can find some pictures of my nothing-but-lazy cat and post them in the picture thread along with this one.

If you’re going to check out my site then note that it’s all horribly old. I’m currently working on a couple of new scenes which will look much better than what’s on there.
I’m also working on an extensive tutorial of sorts concerning light and how it reacts with different kinds of surfaces. It should cover anything from glows/flares/glares and camera lenses to SSS and specular and diffuse surface properties. Basically it should explain the theory/physics behind the effect and then provide some tutorials.

Anyway, I’m sure I’ll see plenty more fun and interesting things come out of this great CGS idea!

Your mug is from boring3d.com/Jimmy Maidens!

Where can I redeem my 1000 points?

Oh yeah, and welcome to the CGS too.

Thanks, and congratulations!

Here you go, not sure what you want to do with them tough:

:wavey: Hey Rens, good to see you here outside the 3dsmax forum.

#5

We’ll have no trouble here!

(I hope you were indeed quoting League of Gentlemen with your thread title… if not, ignore this)

#6

Hey Rens. Good to see more of the Max guys around here. :slight_smile:
How long have you been into CG, btw? Just curious, because I had always been under the impression that you were already employed and everything. But then if you’re just now a couple months from heading off to VFS (which I’m a bit jealous of, I must admit :wink: )…

#7

Wow… that’s actually 1000 points! Hmmm… now I have more useless junk cluttering up my desk…

#8

Likewise! :beer:

Yees? Can I help you at all?

  Best show ever. :) Did you see the live show they did?

Heh, I must be doing something right to give people the impression that I’m already employed. :slight_smile:
I started with CG when I was about 12, maybe 14. But that was just every now and then, though I’ve always seem to have had drawing classes. I really started to do a lot of CG in the last three years.
Jealous? I bet you’re not jealous of the fact that I had to sell off a kidney and a lung to afford it. :wink:

Yeah I did - it’s awesome! And the Christmas Special too - that was hilarious. It really is one of my favourite shows of all time :smiley:

#10

Welcome, one more Dutchie :thumbsup:

VFS hey ? That’s pretty cool.

#11

He Rens, ik heb ook zo’n groenback!

Welcome,

lucky b@sterd… going to VFS… sheesh… kids…

Good luck! :thumbsup:

#12

Hey, someone who frequents the max forum more than I do! :smiley: Good to see you on board Rens! I was going to come in and post the same quote as Leigh, but (as usual) she beat me to it!

#13

Another League fan! :smiley: I miss my tapes of them back home… I bought one of the DVDs here in the States (which was REALLY hard to find), only to find that they had added a really obnoxious laughter track to it that totally ruined it :cry:

I am going to have to ship over the UK originals from home. Bah!

I’ve often thought about creating some of the locations in 3D… I love the look of the show because it’s so very painterly. Creating the Local Shop would be a lot of fun, I think :slight_smile:

#15

Are you… local?:twisted:

Hello everyone!

I am relatively new to 3d CG and have developed a passion for it. My name is Dave, I am 24, and just coming up to the end of my BA (Hons) Photomedia and Design Communication. I have always had a great interest in art. I have been using 3ds Max for just over a year now, I would say I am at an intermediate level.

I think the CG Society is a great idea!! and look forward to meeting new friends.

P.S I’m a fan too! “Aaahhhh Mickey love youv’e got **** for brains” I think pauline and her pens is one of my favourite characters in that show.

#18

Yeah Pauline is definitely my favourite character.

#19

Hey Rens, I’ve seen plenty of good post with your gears a turning. Just thought I’d say hey and sign your book.

Thanks for all the nice replies everyone! This CGS thing is getting better every day.

Ha! I didn’t know it was that bad. :smiley:

This should be the next CGS group project. :wink:

Thanks!
Groenback, heh, ik denk dat heel Nederland zo’n ding heeft. :slight_smile:

About VFS, I can’t wait to go. I’ve heard almost nothing negative about either the school or the city and that’s always good when you’ll be spending a year there. :smiley:

P.S. Hi and welcome psycomatronic!
