My 3d Graphics And Animations, .....

[nitsuarox]

I'm really no good yet but I though that I'd post my half way decent graphics

A simple chain and cog animation (will change soon)

And a simple weird graphic

I need your inout thanks

I checked out both

Tip: When attempting/doing a mechanical animation, keep in mind that it needs to 'feel' real. I mean, it's okay if your cogs seem to be suspended in space [that's your visual style ] , but the animation itself looks and feels much real if it follows the everyday real-world rules of movement etc.

Your cogs, for instance, mesh into one another at certain points of the animation; that is, they intersect -- which solid objects don't do. So you need to correct that by changing the animation's timing . Fix that, adjust the lighting a wee bit and the thing will look great.. and more 'real' too .

Your so-called 'weird graphic': did you do this in Photoshop? I mean, the lighting effect looks like the one Photoshop has...

And how about using some more colours in your graphics unless, of course, you're going for the black-&-white look. All the best !

I was goin for the b&w look yeah xD
and the whole meshing thing isn't my priority since i'm still learning

and the second one was modifies with photoshop, I inverted everything and put the lighting effect on

This is what I do: I try to visualise the scene completely in my mind and then go about building it. See if such a method helps you and keep up the practice .

I'm getting isead from machine

...not sure what that means, though ...

I do visualize it in my head, but im still only just learning.

xD when I said "Im getting isead from machine" I meant "I'm getting ideas from machine" I was to tired to do it right

You don't have to sound so apologetic about the learning part, nitsuarox . Don't tell anyone, but some of my early 3D stuff is like, sooooooo bad that I want to dig a hole in the ground and hide my head in it every time I see them [and I see them every once in a while to make sure that I continue to practise ].

By the way, what software are you using?

Ideas from me? No, you're not -- you're just using a model as a reference to build/create your own original stuff. There's nothing wrong with that at all .

All the best!

nitsaurox maybe it's just me but that snapdrive site loads SO slow, or maybes it's the size of your files, but maybe try uploading them to a different image host. imageshack.us might be a good one but I'm not sure if they support animated gifs, they should though.

Holy cow, I just looked at the size of your animations, they are over 1mb. I don't use Art Of Illusion so I don't know if there is a way to make them smaller, but wow. So I don't even know if a different host would help, it might just be my download speed isn't very good.

Anyways I just wanted to say good job, practice is everything, and I took an engineering class in highschool where we used 3d Studio Max alot and my beginning models were horrible, the first thing we made was a pencil and it looked like I had made the worlds fattest pencil. I slowly got better at it, but I never really took the time to practice so I didn't get very good. But I think I'm going to get back into it

Trippin', you raised a very good point : A lot of people post images, screenshots and animations at the forum that are way too large for the average web surfer to download. Please keep in mind that filesize is a big concern for people like us who don't have spuer-fast internet access or unlimited bandwidth. Do try to keep the size of your images/animations under control.

nitsuarox, good to see you practising, man . When rendering animation for the web, use small-sized animations or render shorter animations to keep the file size under control. You'll get the hang of it as you carry on with this 3D stuff...

[nitsuarox]

yeah I'll drop the size on those xD

[Monster]

You can convert it and not lose any of it's values and taking up less bandwidth.

I created a flash program that when anyone converts a file to a flv, Images etc, all he has to do is dump the file in a folder and it generates and gallery with a controls.

I like you animation very nicely done and can be used for logos of some type. Nice work. . .

Cheers
