Alright! Since we now know that 3D artwork is considered more contagious than laughter and yawning (And quite possibly a few strains of the Flu) I'm starting this thread for those 3D addicted to flex their creative muscles and strut their stuff! Anyone, from 3D-newbie to Pixar-pros can talk, share, and discuss 3D art here.
Wanna get in on the action but don't have a 3D program to play with? Here's some programs to help you get a jumpstart:
----FREEWARE-----
www.blender.org
Blender 3D! Powerful, free, but has a learning curve. If you're patient or have been doing 3D for a while, this is a way to go.
usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=7639525
Maya PLE! While it's the limited version of the full scale Maya counterpart, it's a good start in to the world of 3D.
sketchup.google.com/
Google's SketchUp! Good for a good introduction in to 3D.
www.anim8or.com/main/index.html
Anim8or! Another old school 3D program that give a good jumpstart in to 3D!
----TRIALS----
www.pixologic.com/zbrush/home/home.php
ZBrush 2! Okay... this little powerhouse is more like digital modeling clay than what's shaking in traditional 3D programs. Actually, it's really easy to find yourself playing with it than doing any actual modeling! XD *Is guilty of doing so*
usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=5972446
Okay. This is what I like using and it's a popular choice among 3D artists and heavy hitters in the industry. It's chock full of 3D goodies to play with. It's the program I'm modeling Veronica in currently as I'm typing this.
----OTHER----
www.naturalmotion.com/ele.htm
Okay... this program (Endorphine) deals more with animation physics and might I add VERY sexy program! I was impressed by it when I saw it on the Discovery Channel. Anyways, they've released a PLE edition of their program so anyone can learn and play with it.
www.3dtotal.com
My old fall back site when it comes to learning 3D stuffs. It's how I got at least a little bit of ground and started standing on my two feet in 3D. A must see!
secondlife.com/
SecondLife. Okay... so this is more of an MMORPG than a pure 3D program. But DON'T underestimate its' 3D modeling capabilities! I've seen some wicked-awesomesauce things come out of this program. So this is definately a MUST see!
General rules for this thread:
- Follow the rules Chibi set for this section and the forum in general.
- NO crack or keygen discussion. While we all like free stuff every once and a while, er... you can get in to trouble if someone sees a stunt like this pulled. So please PLEASE don't start talking about this publicly. Lawers and lawsuits are very SCARY things... like pee-your-pants type of scary. So yeah... no talkies, comprende vous? Good!
- 3D is very sexy. Without it, there would be no Pixar's Cars for us to enjoy. So please, play your part in keeping 3D sexy and have more fun than a Mater tractor-tipping with it and create awesomesauce 3D art! ;D
Anyways, that is all! So journey forth my 3Dminions companions, have lots of fun and good luck on your journey!
