You should see his shark.

the beast in question (they are all the same model...... he's rigged with a skeleton so I can pretty much put him into any pose i like ....... same goes for the people)

Wow. That is great Alan. Nice to see some of your modelling

(i sell most of my models online........ kinda like a stock agency but for 3d models..... do not too bad out of it too )

a couple of the Saleen S7
(this one was a pre vis render before i added decent textures and lighting to the environment

Um, that latest batch all have the steering wheel on the left (aka right ) side... Why's that?

What kind of software do you do this with?

well the saleen is left hand drive because thats how they are made (American car)
you can't get a right hand drive version

the tvr and the skyline are both right hand drive (us brits drive on the left so steering wheel on the right is the norm here) the skyline is Japanese but they also drive on the left of the road.

the software is a 3d modelling and rendering package called lightwave (ever seen babylon 5...... all the spaceship scenes...lightwave.. jimmy neutron boy genius.... lightwave.... jurrasic park... dinosaurs modelled in lightwave ...black hawk down... the matrix.....(just too many movies to list) it's a pretty professional spec bit of kit...

i started off in digital imaging LONG before getting a digital camera... it has been a big help in understanding photography.
here's a grab of the layout screen (think lightstage in film terms)

see anything you recognise in the camera properties dialogue (i''ve set it up here so it acts like a nifty 50 )

Good Mornafterevening everyone.

I did it, I submitted to the Great P.O.T.N. book.

G'MAE All.

Fantastic stuff Alan. Love the shark and the cars. Really interesting to see the behind the scenes stuff too

Theague - Sorry to hear the neck's worse. Hope the doc was able to help at least a bit!

Becky - Yay - good for you!

Neil - I LOVE that shot of your daughter in TPBM.

when you both posted photos that contained the same framed image of Jesus.

I remember seeing that but never put the two together.

Cat - Congrats on the new wheels

Alan - Nice modeling, very impressive

Jamie/Puddle - Good tips on panning. Will mark them for reference material

Athena - How did the dinner party go?

The Ague - Sorry about your pain-in-neck being worse.

GMAE to you too. I got some muscle relaxers and percocet so I'm feeling a little better now. Getting kind of dizzy and tired though.

Anyone else using Firefox smiley's not able to use them in "Advanced" reply? I can only get them to work in Quick reply.

Hope your owies get better soon!

I have the smiley issue in the advanced box, too. Cat suggested choosing the smiley, double click, then copy it, THEN go back, hit the quote button and paste. It's an extra step, but that's the only way I've gotten it to work.

I just copy them in quick reply then paste them into the advanced reply.

LOL....almost this whole page is replies to earlier posts.

Gmae everyone. How's it going? Besides Athena and The Ague being all doped up?
