content: Im a hobbiest 3D artist ... nothing really breath taking but its something!you guys on here have humored my stupidity enough and if anyone wants anything made in 3D GIVE ME A SHOUT!i both need the practice and i love giving back when i canSend me a PM if your intrested so we can talk about what you want but i can work out what your final design will look like or you have a crude drawing that you want cleaned up in 3D exc ... (added) OR if you want some sort of 3D anamted logo or intro i have done plenty of those!I work with 100% FOSS tools, i model everything my self, i work heavily with simulation (water, smoke, particle, fire exc) and i have done animation in the parti work 100% royalty free ... any credit or greetz you give is just you being nice!i have not done any real work on this in the past (part why i want to practice) but here are some of my other works to give you a feel for what i can do ... some are dated--->>> Album herehttp://imgur.com/a/NgukU<<<---

content: I downloaded FreeCAD the other day to try and fix a STEP format model, but haven't got very far. All I need to do is mirror reverse the part. Is that something you'd want to have a go at?

content: Quote from: David_AVD on April 19, 2013, 04:20:49 ami use blender so im not 100% sure ... but a simple "cheat" to mirror an object is duplicate it , scale the object by axis*-1 (for example if its x13 y 10 and z 30 and you want to mirror it on the X make x -13 and leave the rest alone ... in other words just add a - on the axis you want to mirror)but you are fully free to send the model to me and i can have a go if you tell me exactly what you want!

content: Nice work in 3D ... You did some good stuff there. I haven't figured out how to use blender myself.. I gave it a try once, many years ago, the UI seemed too cryptic for me so I put it aside. I hear that it's much improved these days.Now, please, lay down over on that couch over there... we need to talk about your choice of 3D models...guns, knives, needles (dripping blood?), DNA, viruses, bullets in flight, pyrotechnics, dragons and other stingy things, and now your playing with electricity?

Canada will be spared >3 ... i like Montreal too much XPbut thanks for the complaments!im not sure how blender used to be ... i was just a photographer up untill i got ill last year and got in to 3D so i have only been using blender for about a year now ... but i do long the UI :3i also picked up 3DS max not to long ago ... hated it XD

content: BiOzZ, Blender is one of those programs I keep intending to try out - when I get the time.I have used packages like Maya and Softimage with professional animators. Both are incredibly powerful, and incredibly frustrating. Not very intuitive or compatible with the way you expect Windows interfaces to work, so unless you use the packages all the time, it is easy to forget how to do 90% of the stuff you need to know.How is Blender for animation, rather then static renders? I did a quick search on Blender and it looks like it has come a long way since the last time I looked perhaps 7 years ago. It looked like they may be using Euler (X,Y,Z) vectors rather then quadrature vectors. I am impressed though.

content: Quote from: amspire on April 19, 2013, 11:56:53 pmi have used Softimage XSI (they changed the name to i dont know what ...) when i was JUST getting in to 3D work ... it was OK but i quickly switched to blender when i started hitting its limitationsblender has evolved a long long way .. just following it from version 2.5 to now 2.6 the improvements are RADICALspeed improvments, GPU rendering and baking, its own in house built in path tracing engine called cycles, use of mutable displays and completely modular! not to mention the work a whole group of people (me included) has done with the simulation engineit animates very well tho i think one thing its lacking (and really the only thing) is a far easier way to modify the mesh in an animation without bones or shape keysbut with all the other tools i cant complain ... and if you start bitching about something on the forums someone will make a python plugin or it will land on the future features listi suggest learning it! its a powerful tool!Quote from: Dave on April 20, 2013, 04:02:02 pmthanks allot man it really means allot!

content: Remembers me of the days that I played with the Vivid raytracer. Scenes were described using text. And a render could literally take weeksBut this was in the '286 10MHz days. That same scene at 640x480 now would probably only take a few seconds to compute.

content: Quote from: jeroen74 on April 21, 2013, 08:30:53 amwere capable now on some high end computers to render raytraced images in real time on 1080 screens XP ... its all about the 800+ GPU cores nowtho when it comes to 3D graphics i wont touch a raytracer ... but i cant picture path tracing at 10mhz ... i have to OC to 4.2ghz at 4 cores 8 threads just to handle the more complicated caustic photon passes that cant be taken care of by the GPU XP

content: back in the late 70's I used to do simple raytracing on an 8080.. I was just a kid in my teens, and my father was a subscriber to IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, and I didn't have access to the same PDP-11 hardware that those "big guys" had in their research labsSo I duplicated their algorithms on my little Altair ...it took weeks for a major scene.. I often had to make the scene simpler or smaller, in order to see something quickly. Display was a separate system, I used a Cromemco Dazzler display controller, it was a whopping 128x128 pixels.I still have that old S-100 Altair gathering dust back at my childhood home.. with 32K memory boards, a serial card with current loop interface for... an asr-33 teletype (which comes with a paper tape punch/reader) 2708/2716/2732 EPROM burner card, and a dazzler display. I turned it on several years ago, but it didn't run anymore. The front panel is controlled by a supervisor monitor in a couple EPROMS. They were wiped out, all bits 0xFF. I think the fluorescent lighting did it, over time.Perhaps Dave would like to tear it down .. but shipping it all would break the bank

XPbut god when i was 15 ... i stood in line to get a copy of windows vista!and now my newest pc is running off a couple of 600W power supplies. 8tb HDDs, 32gb ram, 4.2ghz 4 core 8 thread and enough GPU power to punch a hole in the space time continuum while playing crysis 3 XPwhat will we have in just 5 more years? path traced games? XD
