Any sugestions?


#682

amazing work mate I think smokestack should be enough keep us updated mate :thumbsup:

#683

any sugestion on what kind? the one as your house has or a box like smokestack

#684

Somebody throw a bucket of water on Rich the freak ! :twisted:

Niels,
I would go for the box type smoke stack.

As for your question about getting stuff to do freelance.
Not much to it, you have a few options. They are all pretty obvious.
If you have a job save,buy what you can when you can.
Begging for money seems to work too… If people think you got skills
they may throw you a buc or 2.:smiley:

I think 3Ds max can be paid for by subscription.

And there is always the good old credit card.
I’ve always lived with my parents so I don’t have much bills to pay.
So whatever small change I make, I can save or put to buying some new stuff.

Don’t forget birthdays, I always try to drop some hints to people on
what Kind of gifts they can buy me, Thanks to my girlfriend for my wacom on my last birtday…:bounce:

Seems like there are lots of free stuff out there now to get you started as well.
You can get small jobs with them and then move up to better stuff as you get paid
for the jobs.

I can go on forever telling stories about how I got money for my art.
But you should probably check out the general discussion section for a tread about that
or start your own thread, I’m sure many people have tips…

I’m always broke , but my point is if there is a will there is a way.

TONY: AKA the new Omar.

Thanks for keeping things moving in here while I’m slacking.
When I come back it will be time to kick some A$$ ! :buttrock:

Oh yeah ! “We could still use max animators and max riggers
also texture artists”

#685

Thanks for sharing you great vision… or… way of life:D

I really needed the insight, Im still living with my parents, so I also have not much bills to pay. But I need te live too and life is expensive (buy clothings, new lcd screen etc.) :eek:. If I save 0,25 cents a day how long wil it take:wise:?

Well, thanks again.

#686

Ahh HA ! That is your problem right there ! YOU HAVE A LIFE ! :wise:

I gave up mine along time ago, for those of you who missed this post
here is how it goes<------- The answers to Great CG ART :smiley:

PS. “We could still use max animators and max riggers also texture artists” :stuck_out_tongue:

BACK TO WORK FOR ME :cry:

#687

#688

I’m still very close to all my friends and family… I visit there graves all the time LOL

What can I say I have a dark sense of humor .:twisted:

#689

I was in some serious time troubles and now with the new “Omar life style” Life can’t be better.
the proof I just slaughtered the whole neighbourhood…

(almost sounds like these telsel kinda commercials, buy a new VCR and get a next one for half the price thing)

Good to see things still going. as soon as I finish slaughtering the rest of Paris I’ll try and jump in again (if there is still help needed :wink: )

cheers
jozef

#694

hehe hey Omar sorry for the late reply updates maybe soon lol :bounce:
Neils my friend great work keep up the good work …keep going mate :thumbsup:

hey guys let`s keep the thread alive :twisted: always wanted to say that lol

#695

Hey guys, good too see you are still here…

I’m still pretty busy , and seems like I will be for a while longer.
So with that said I will try to squeeze in some small updates here and there.

I had a bit of time this weekend, so I tried to work on Tony’s tree.
I used Tony’s model as a base and took it into Mudbox for the fun of it.
The trunk came out okay… I then took it back into max to put on the leaves.
The leaves did not come out as I had in my head.:cry:

The image below is of a leaf test I did just using squashed spheres as a stand in.

I’m not happy with the leaves so I will have to think of a new way to do it.
Maybe just model a branch at a time and place the leaves on one at a time
then clone and repeat…

Niels, your models are looking good, I like the back doors on the vans.
I will put them into the scene as soon as I get around to texturing them.

#696

nice work mate for the leaves what do u think of removing them all just leave it without any
I mean it works it will look cool …ok don`t throw anything it was just an idea lol :bounce:

#697

I don’t want to be critcle, but… the leaves aren’t chubby anymore, there just well uuh fat. please please don’t hit me:eek:

I think “normal leaves” like in the real world would fit very nice, well its just my opinion so feel free to ignore.

@Tony
Keeping the tree with out leaves would’t be a “bold” action:P I dont think it would fit:P

#698

What can I say not much to look at…

I’m starting to layout the street, moving very slowly, but still trying to keep moving.
I will have to work on the tree when I have more time.
The leaves you see now are not the final ones just to test volume and placement.

[color=lime]Niels, [/color]you should send your models as low poly .obj format right now your meshes have the smoothing baked in, it is better if I do the smoothing in max.

#699

Hi, i would really love to light and render this projekt :slight_smile: (i work in maya thou). Im pretty busy with work until late may (deadline may 30) but after that i could help out as much as you would like to in that appartment, i also have a small renderfarm of 20-50 comps depending on other some other stuff ( 3ghzm, 1gb ram, quadro cards). Hit me back!

#700

Wow your render farm sounds pretty big to me :eek:

I only have about 5 computers and most of them are breaking down 1 at a time.

Unfortunately, our render pipeline is 3DS Max and Vray.
Not much lighting to do because I only use 1 light representing the sun.
The rest is all bounced light from the models and sky dome.

Other then that we could use help with textures in any program.

Animation and rigging , also for Max.

Thanks.
