Ic.. so you are not a design student so you wont be learning these software in university. Is ok anyone can learn, I have an IT friend now also bcoming a 3d visualiser already

if you not sure where to start.. maybe you can start from the easy one first. I highly recommend google sketchup..can download for free... and the first few tips they gave when u start the software is enough for u to play with a lot of things. It is the easiest software to learn.. (not necessary easy to master though)

but then im worry that if  you try sketchup first, then only start to play with 3ds max you will find it very annoying because it is a lot more complicated.

Personally I start from 3ds max... then sketchup released and I tried,, WOW.. is quick and user friendly, easy to use! But because of the nature of my job... I still stick back to 3ds max.

Very interesting company! I will join if I found out 2 years ago! 

New 3D work. Somehow I don't really like the lighting because of the body surface (many edges).


High Resolution (1920x1200) : HERE

& update on project for Next-generation Crew Exploration Vehicle based on NASA new Orion Spacecraft.So as usual,I love to make technical diagram render like I do on most project.Due to the complexity & cramped space of the Command Module(CM) only the basic can be shown there.

hi guys. i am using a laptop. my question is, using latop can use gamma 2.2 workflow?

and any comments on the gamma 2.2 workflow? anyone using it?

thanks

Why not? I suppose most LCD these days have "same same gamma" ratio. 

thanks. i may sound noob but... anyway to adjust laptop monitor to match gamma 2.2 workflow?

Hi all noob here. Old artwork dump follows (newest I think is 2 years ago )

tartaruses... hey how re you man,. long time didnt keep in touch

hi sifus here
does increasing multiplier for FG
or
increasing the diffuse bounces helps smoothens out the black blotches

this pic below is just a draft

fg multiplier value : 1
diffuse bounces : 12



many thanks 

Try this setting

FG Multiplier : 2
Diffuse Bounces : 12

GI : On
GI Multiplier : 2

Ambient Occlusion : On (setting is in Material Editor under Special Effects tab)
Samples : 90
Max Distance : 10.0mm
