Got two 3D art commissions which I finished one of them, but still need to do the other one. Since my personal website hasn't been up, I've pretty much stopped doing any artwork, but a previous customer asked if I'd be willing to do a couple more pictures for her and her husband. Can't complain. $ is good. :yah

Redesigned my car clubs website since I was asked to become website person.
- http://www.brazosvalleystreetbeasts.com - it looks sweet! :thu

I haven't forgotten about the COTM page that I still need to do!
 
Club site looks good. I see more local club sites with their own forums which really keeps the members more "together" it seems. How does it seem to you, being on that end?
 
The forum works ok I guess. It keeps everyone informed on stuff. A lot of folks I think just read it every now and then, but then there are several (including me) who always check it.
 
Are your 3D paintings better than the painting you gave Dave for his WE gift?

The one of the room is a painting? How do you do these- directly on computer or scanned?

It's a digital 3D render from a high end program called Autodesk 3ds Max - http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?id=13567410&siteID=123112

Movies such as 2012, Alice in Wonderland, Avatar, Cats & Dogs, Dr Doolittle 2, Ironman, Shutter Island, Spiderman 3, the 3 X-Men movies, Planet 51.... all made with 3ds Max.


Depending on the light and texture settings, you can make cartoons to realistic pictures & movies if you had the time, the knowledge, and several computers capable of handling the memory. Sadly I don't have the know-how to do animation or to use 3ds Max to it's full potential. I always wanted to go to school and work at Pixar.. but I never get around to it.
 
Perhaps not the time, but the talent is obvious.

So what kind of commissoned work are you doing? Portraits?
 
I'm doing pictures for an online role playing game called EverQuest. It was the MMO everyone played before World of Warcraft.
There's this thing called a magelo profile which displays your characters armor and stuff so everyone can look and you can customize it with your own background. That's what people commission me for. And signatures.

The latest picture was this:

Here's an example of the same character, but slightly different texture settings and lighting (and no hair lol)

I have to make one for her husband who plays a class called a Ranger - think Legolas from LOTR - as soon as he decides what he wants.

nice work but that outfit Sepha is wearing the last pic makes her look fat! :marv
 
I don't charge much. $20 for signatures, $50 for an 800x600 'magelo' picture. It takes me about 1-2 days is all to make a picture because I cheat and use premade 3d models. :thu
The economy has been crappy so not many folks have ordered pictures.

You're right Pete.

The place where my local club had it's weekly "street meet" closed down so they are not having a regular cruise in right now and no one post on the club's website.

I received the annual form to sign up and pay dues but I am not sure I am going to pay my dues this year till they get a regular meet going again. I handed them a place on a silver platter not so long ago and they have done zero with the contact information which was basically a done deal minus them making an announcement to the members regarding time / place.

Granted, it's been the holiday season but I don't plan on joining again for this year till they get some sort of regular meet going.

I used to use 3D Studio Max for my animation films in High School. I love that program. I used to create my 3D whatever in AutoCAD and then import them into 3DSM where I would design the "scene" set the lighting, cameras and record. Having also been in studio productions in High School I would use our studio and green scree to film real people scenes and use Adobe premiere to incorporate both animation and reality together.

Very fun stuff.

My favorite doing similar work out there right now has the following website http://www.digitalblasphemy.com. I think you would like his work Kat.

I still have some of my animation mini films on my laptop. I will post up a screen shot later tonight. I used to love rendering animation scenes in 3DSM because it would lock up my PC in class and I basically had 7th period off for a week and a half. Had to love 1999! LoL
