Interesting concept, nice lighting. Hard to tell what's really going on. Is that the same image as was entered? yes mine was the last one on the page. heres the image again took 14 hours to render this image believe it or not.

here ya go i did kind of crappy job skinning him but it wouldnt show in the final image that i entered so i didnt care too much

i really thought my shark wearing a thor helmet would win peoples curious side. hehe

Congrats winners! Hopefully next time I'll win something.

i did this a couple of times in the past. this was my best result i made a material for ya from that group. plastic.mat enjoy

Dear lord man! Geez I heard of going to extremes to get peoples attention but yeessh! And that looks like its going to be a good looking project. Keep us in informed!

Man I can't wait to see what everyone did! I know mine was wacky lol.

oh yea i forgot i entered this months ago lol. cant even remember what i did lol

i think we went over this before when i was learning the jump motion. Jumping

A-MAZ-ING man i have to finish my coding classes

Happy B-day! you brought us together so lets celebrate!

another 7 hours of rendering and i should be done.... yes! man i need a new PC lol

From moment to moment we are drifting thru the life and not seeing the wonders around us. many of us will simply stop to look for a brief second but will move on. but for some this brief moment they see the amazing things that life has to bring and what they can do for others in hope that they will see what they see. i believe Paul was one of these people. he shared his vision of the world thru his eyes. showed us how to connect with other people the way that only Paul knew how to do. He will be greatly missed. Thank you Paul for all the great stories and teachings you brought to us all. Thank you josh for letting us know so we can be with you and your family as Paul moves on. -Jason

wow... that just looks amazing!

this is like the lighting stuff i was doing on my thread! cool!

you can get the look of radiosity with a few tricks. This post here shows a 5 second walk took about 3 hours to render. i have a few lighting setups in the contributors cue that will give this effect and keep the render times to a reasonable amount. you can also setup a skylight system to get a radiosity effect. the fastest render i got with radiosity is about 10 mins for 1 frame at 640x480 res

WIndows 7 differences these are the listed differences between all versions. i have ultimate btw

he kind of reminds me of rayman (old PSX game) very cool looks more like an oil painting to me.

i been playing around with a few more lighting tests. with these i was trying to go for a more smoothed out version of a 3D render something you would see more in a TV show these days. still needs tweaking This i was trying a faster version of a softbox lighting rig i setup using over 40+ lights this only took about 11-15 mins and it didnt come out too bad. i used robs box crush demo because it had a lot of folds going on toward the end. crunchv.mov

If all you new users want to know what it is like to model in A:M i have a real time video of modeling from start to finish. Here is the link

Oooooh perty

wow its going to take a bit to sink in. thanks a bunch!

Congrats! Awesome job!

Robcat was working on a little animation walk for me so i could try to blend video with 3D i was so impressed with the walk i had to render it. took about 3 hours to render this shot. animation_test.mov and Yes i know that's its because im using only a 32 bit version of windows. my dad got me the wrong version when i built this machine. hoping for an upgrade in the near future
