HAHA! *forgets he wasn't supposed to laugh*

Ok, that was pretty good actually. What kind of file is that? .3ds? It looks better than anything I make...All I am good at is making boxes...:(

I recommend using Milkshape 3D

or Anim8or

Shodow - lol! :)

ada - I have never used blender - I'll have to try it out.
I use 3dsmax 3.1 (coz 5 has too many bugs/crashes/problems/argh!)

But looks nice :)

Does blender have any POST effects? or raytracing etc.?

gl :)

just ask if you need any help...

The interface of blender is much harder than 3d max...i mean more complicated and wierd......and no, they dont have an internal raytracer but there were a prog callled yafray and it was use for raytracing stuff for blender (blender friendly)......i think 3d max is better than blender but blender dont cost any panney :)

..and thanks to all for ur support... there is a long...long way to go...[:D]

very good improvement :D

well, why dont u make them a lil less tall and a bit fat, but not too fat.

enjoyincubus
May 29, 2003, 4:07 am
That's pathetic! :P jk, jk....

Those look pretty good, but like Nectrotik said, make them a little shorter and fatter. Fat people make good comics...[:D] For some reason, fat people and midgets/dwarfs have been the butt of jokes for quite a while, or at least they are on TV and at school in the USA...

N1nj@
June 1, 2003, 5:35 pm
it works for me, perfectly fine, is good man, the 360 degree one should have mkae one more turn, so i can have a good look of him

as for the second one, it looks good, is he suppose to be working or something like that? His face kinda looks cut off for a second when i watch the movie, i dont know is it the shading or it is like that. But it was a good start :)

btw, people that can't get it work, try download the divx codec and the player here

ada89
June 1, 2003, 6:29 pm
N1nja, good...about the 360 turn, play tha clip with avi and not divx player cause it will loop at avi...try that
