Hey Guys..I'm doing a whole bunch of stuff right now I decided to try modeling the GI Joe Submarine Plane vehicle..I plan model the little details seperatley..also, the reason why the vehicle is peaked is because it's easier to model that way..this isn't much: EDIT: Here's a link to the pic linky

After reading the call for entries for models for TSM2, I decided to try modeling a GIANT OCTOPUS for the evil squid category. So I spent a couple of hours surfing the web for reference and sketching.

Working or should I say goofing with the hair system and trying to come up with decent settings for a Man in a Gilly Suit ....on this attempt, the model is an altered version of the mannequin model found on the forum or is that one of the extra CD/DVD ? then I applied a camo material to most of his body. and to attempt to control the density of the hair I applied 2 decals, black on the front and white on the back ...... I don't like the way it looks yet ......attempting an animation at the moment to see how it reacts with motion....I think it may be a little limp, not enough stiffness....... Mike Cossey

I think someone should do an animation of Gir *from invader zim* basically going from good mode, to bad mode *where his eyes get mad and they turn red* If done well, it could look awesome.

Wow, it seems a loooong time since I last posted! Here is a young girl character I've nearly finished for our pilot film - yes, it's still going ahead I've managed to get everybody together in one place to record the voice track next week (please!!) and most of the modelling is now finished. Several people want to animate on it so, hopefully, we shouldn't be too far off now MelSpin Animation (Mov)

I'm doing a work project creating a series of stills showing a glass lab beaker half-filled with water, then adding white powder, then the water being stirred and becoming slowly clearer. I was looking in the libraries on my Mac's A:M over the weekend and there were maybe six glass materials, but when I started work at my office pc this morning, there are only three glass materials in the library, Fake Glass MR, Liquid Glass MR and Perspex MR. the assignment is tricky because at most points in the process everything needs to be transparent. I'm going to composite a toon line for definition of the beaker but I wonder if someone can make a good recommendation fo…

Hi everyone, It has been a quite a while since I've posted anything here! I have finished a glider design program that teaches the basic concepts behind flight. It comes with 10 pre designed gliders as well as materials for use with sci-projects. The 3D characters used to explain the games portion and the 3D gliders there were made with AM. The rest was done in a different program. you can view the program here: http://www.nc-games.com/glider.html Also I am doing a promotional where the first 10 people to respond will get the code to unlock the full glider program for free. If you are interested, please email: noel@nc-games.com wit…

New to AM: I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this, but I know this is the only one I can post a pic. Usually after saving and then reopening a project will this glitch occur. Upon reopening, I may see some artifacts or slight changes in alignment that I want to correct (another glitch?) When I try to move the CP's or the CP Bias points, the Bias handles jump way off the working area and can't be brought back in line. I have to shut down, not save and start over. In the attached pic, you see a sphere that I wanted to tweak in a very close view around the bottom where all points converge. When I clicked on a Bias handle, it jumped to the…

If I wanted to make a sphere about 6 feet in diameter and wanted it to radiate a light or glow for several feet in all directions (like a giant lightbulb with volumetrics turned on) how would I do it? I want the falloff to be further out than "glow" can provide. Any ideas? In the pic, you'll notice that the light projection is coming from slightly in front of the dome (klieg) I want the light projection to come from all around the dome.

Hello, I know the title may seem odd, but I think you'll get the joke by the time I finish this post. Being hard-headed and a bit stubborn, I decided to jump ahead in the curriculm and get the modeling basic of the program down so that I could start building the model I wanted. I have gone through the first three lessons, and skipped straight to models. I read through the plane one, then used what I read to start inputing my own model. Here it is todate: Minus a transparent pane on the visible side near the rear. I think the level of detail will need to buffed up, as this only has about 910 patches. From what I've been reading on high detail model…

Ok, I don't know how I got started on this late at night, but we were reading Go, Dog, Go! It's always been one of my favorite books when I was a kid and I loved their cars. I thought it might be easy to model so here is what I came up with. First time playing with materials too. I'll want to play around with it some more later, make some rubber for the tires, seats in, steering wheel and grille, few other things. C&C welcome

I am trying to make this goat sort of cartoony, more of a charicature. There is something off about it but I can't put my finger on it. He looks more like an impala or something. What is about him that looks un-goatlike? How can I make him more goatish?

Hello everyone, I decided to post my Goblin WIP. I'm generally pretty pleased with the head model (despite a few required touch-ups.) But I've been having trouble getting the skin texture to look just right. The skin was all done procedurally (save for one bump map.) Please let me know what you all think. And any suggestions or critizisms are welcome. I'd like to get the skin tone right. ~Danno

About two years ago I made a TARDIS model, that famous blue box from "Doctor Who". I made a fresh version of the model recently, here's the wireframe: For a while I was aiming for a toon look, but that hasn't panned out: I'd like to be quite daring and go for photorealistic based off the new TARDIS, which is a rough painted wood look, my attempts to make textures/decals: :blink:Oh, and just for kicks...at one point, I lost my mind and made this: Now, I'm asking and begging and humbly throwing myself upon the mercy of wise hasher for your advice as to how to begin.

Hey everyone I am new to this whole experience so I decided to get everyones feed back on my simple image. 1. I would have loved to try to join some of the parts with hook, Some odd reason I wasn't able to hook the images to make it look like it had more flow. So I went with intruding the different parts of the model. 2. I have no clue how to play with the lighting or contrast to make it look better. An tis would be cool. Welp hope everyone likes my simple design remake.

Well, here is the 'in progress' renders of a section of the roadway deck and of the south tower. Lots of detail to add to the top of the south tower and more for under the road deck. Also there are many MANY other lights that are designed to illuminate the towers at night, so I'll be adding those as well. This model will have the lights added. I will probably need some help with that as I'm not quite sure how Yves did his skylights with only one light and the action added it numerous times to the skydome. I'd like to do the same thing here, where all the regular street lights are copies of one 'type' of light and the spot (klieg) lights for the tower i…

I am attempting to model the head of Gollum. I used a couple images from the web as rotoscopes and modeled from that. I think the head looks ok as a model (better than other stuff I've done) but the only problem is it does not really look like Gollum. Can anyone tell me what they think the problem is? Maybe his head is too boxy/square? Also, is it too spline heavy? Any ideas for where to lighten it up would be helpful as well. Thanks! Thanks for any input.

Hello all- Trying to something VERY simple and thought I would ask the List... Just trying to create a cylinder shape that has a transparency map applied so that the cylinder object gradually fades out. ( please see attachment) At first I thought I would create a Material as an "Environment map" and chose the "cylinder" drop down menu; but I don't think you can define the bitmap that you chose to be a transparency map when applied. Then I thought of simply stamping the transparency map from all four directions (front,back,left,right) directly on the cylinder... but I'm guessing there must be a simpler way to apply a transparency map to a cylinder. …
