3D Animation
 

What do you use? I use Maya, and 3D Studio Max

i personally use maya and 3dsmax also... picking up XSI houdini and LW although :)

LightWave! I haven't bothered playing around with any other 3D packages lately.

you haven't seriously played with any other 3d packages anyways =\

I use LightWave, and I am going to try out XSI and Maya.

I've used 3DS for quite some time, but my experience with MAYA is very limited. I have never tried SoftImage and Houdini out myself, I've just seen some professional people do so.

I used 3DS once, but I didnt do much.. just some shape animations

maya is fun to work with :) loft is the coolest tool ever

That is it! I am installing Maya, and going to mess with it. I would have to say to know PS too, that always helps(Dont have to, but it is good to understand Gradients and stuff).

okay acer... watch my lofting tutorial and make a complex character (it's not that hard, just time consuming) i dunno make errr... mini mouse may be? :D

Yeah I plan to do your tuts

All_Aces: I think you should continue with maya and look into LW.

my maya tuts are enough to get you into really complex organic models... may be not architectual or mech but organic definitely :)

I am going to focus learning LW in its strong points, and Maya in its strong points.

k... =\ w/e

Randuin, what sites do you use for Maya tuts?

Apparently I never read and maya tuts, they just didn't explain enough to do anything, that's why I'm planning to go to a 3d school for it :)

I C, that is no good then :(

i'll release a serie where i try to... i dunno model a car may be?

Sounds good, I say for a tut, dont look at what you are makeing but how much learning can be learned out of the tut.

Ok All_Aces, did you just post and not even come back for an answer? Uh... must of registered, asked a few quesitons and forgot the site link :p

lol i don't know... but well would you be interested watching me making a car? (with audio)

I am always interested :)

lol k once i get my stuff together i'll release a serie :)

Yeah and if you can, explain why you do the things you do. Noobs will need logic.

if you haven't noticed... i do explain why i do things :D

I know, but if I tell you... anyone that is reading this tut and wants to make one, will do the same :)

hehe k :) which is likely no one... because as you know we dominate this place :D

That is for sure, and as nice as it sounds, it isnt good at all :(

ya it'd be really cool if we had more ppl coming in

That is why I wanted us to get #1 on the TopD2, that would help alittle.

no it won't, it'd only bring stupid d2 ppl

Yes but lots of stupid D2 ppl know CG.

not exactly... one i met doesn't even know what a pixel is =\

Yeah, not all know stuff :p

I don't really use any 3-D programs but I wanted to tell you I
liked your site and especially the top part of the Rabbit and Fox/Wolf. :cyborg: Again I just wanted to tell you I loved the site :eek:

N-C-EvilWind

huh? what rabbit fox wolf?

is it a section? he said the top part :p

i'm reallly confused... lol

Oh yeah, All_Aces came from blizzhackers.com, I noticed his name in the forums :p

i c... but he doesn't do any gfx... he just posted a question.. this thread... and never came back

yep lol... I am going to ask him if he even came back to see the results.
