the_black_mage

actually there is something similar to that, but you cant animate or anything with it. http://www.freeartsoftware.com/free-softwa...y3D/website.htm personally i think A:M would be easier...

nice, i think his tail moved to fast as well as the cough, i th ink he should have leaned back before the cough, know what i mean? also your video reminds me of this

hey man nice, try using paint.net for high quality jpegs, i use it all the time and get jpeg images with no loss in detail.

you should be able to do good with what ever computer you can now buy in the store, windows xp might be best if your using windows, and ken is right A:M is the easiest i know of.so your a young filmmaker huh? you shouldn't have hardly any problem getting used to A:M, i'm 15 and i've had A:M for 2 and a half years and i've gotten pretty good if i say so my self http://www.wolfworks.co.nr

try e-mailing one of the administrators, i'm not sure if they will tell you or not...

lol i did the opposite , heres the new render with some new stuff. i finaly fixed that picture frame and added a plant, i also did a few unseen changes as well. now i need to fix up the couches and add stuff on the tables...

oh scratch that... yeah you can use images as a back ground to model from, and like all software(but one that i know of) you have to model your characters and objects ect. but don't worry about it modeling is fun, once you start your hooked. if you not exact;y in to modeling you can use models that are in the cd and animate with those. if your into rendering you can just make small models and go insane with shortcuts and get the great renders you want. every thing is easy to get a hold of and use, just take your time and have fun. oh and btw...this is coming from a 15 year old i've used A:M for about 2 and a half years and loved every second of it. cheak out my site. http://www.wolfworks.co.nr/ also when you make a character to animate it you make bones, now you don't model them it just click and drag. you make the bones in sort of a stick man form, then you select the cps(control points(the dots)) that the bones move. now you can leave it at that but theres more to do if you want more realistic movement that doesn't take much time at all...

i kinda think the pupils are too small.....

well the colors the same but i see what you mean, i might try darking the table a bit...

actualy it was mainly a texture i'll have to link it later but in the mean time get a plugin called bit-map plus. its on the forums some ware, do a search for it... i think a games a good idea, but how about we finish the models first.

also i'm a bit worried about the table should i change the texture?

heres a new render fixing the chair color and the cameras angle, it turns out it was rotated at about 3 degrees. i also think i found a good color for the lamp too. i'll see what the smaller boards look like and get to work on that couch...

crooked? your the second person to say that...i thought it was the perspective...but i'll look in to it...

the image period, right when you open the image is twice the darkness. and it effects materials and every thing...

oh yeah! but how could i make it look comforter?...

oh man sorry some one did, this post goes through pages so fast i musta missed it....

did they? hold on...

actualy in v12 png formats tend to darken....

i'm currently to occupied to work on yoshi, i've been needing some one to take over for a while you up to it?

wow thats one old computer O_o... nice work btw

heres the new render! i added a lamp fixed up the lighting so that its more appealing though its still temporary. changes the floor texture and remove the window, i also changed the look of the chairs a bit too. the lamp i'm not sure what color it should be yet. i know the frame isn't fixed yet but i tested the wood texture and it now matches the floor, i did the same with the blinds boarder. i'm also looking for a different carpet texture to use...it just doesn't do it for me... hope you like it so far...

yeah the wall does have texture its a bump map...i'm thinking about changing it

that will do

i'm not saying that, just saying that it would take serious time for one person to do something like white engine.

yeah actualy theres no window any more its a patio glass door now with blinds over it. and im changing the floor to hard wood, and the picture frame IS going to be changed cause i thought it was horrible too. i fixed up the temporary lighting a bit and i'll post a render later today or tomorrow. does anyone have any problems with the walls?
