hehe... a prototype of a gramophone (phonograph) model...
WIP...... Lightwave 7.5.........
modelling + texturing + rendering = 8 hours...

click blindly at first... then remembered the way I learn photoshop, so I started to follow some tutorial... while following them I tried to remember the functions of all tools, so that I can make my own models next time... now still a beginner, and those are simple models I can model... hehe...

well, I really hope I can be as good as them (those in page 1 - 42)... T_T

hehe... my machine is a quite lousy...

Pentium 4 socket 478 2.6 Ghz HT
256MB + 512MB DDR 1 RAM
GeForce MX4000 128MB AGP

going to change a pc soon!
wish mum allows me to buy a GeForce 7600 this Sat...

ermmm... I have another question here......

have you guys ever heard about a machine that does non-realtime rendering jobs? as I know it's in a cube shape, but I never see one before... and I heard that with just some seconds, it can render an image which takes hours to render with ordinary graphic card... besides, Blizzard company has broke 20+ of them in the making of Warcraft (not sure it's Frozen Throne or wow)...

well, I just want to know what's the name of that machine... any idea?

yup... Subpatch...
but I still couldn't control its weight map nicely yet... >.<

may I know instead of using subpatch on polygons, is there any way to model using curves? (like using nurbs in maya) how to do that if so?

to control the subpatch smoothing, you have to modify the subpatch weight and subpatch division...

for subpatch division, press [O] in modeler, you can modify it in that option panel...

for subpatch weight...
- in the right bottom side of your modeler, select SubPatch Weight in the drop down box...
- depend on your situation, you may select some points/polygons
- go to the Map tab, press the Weights button and fire up the numeric panel
- change the falloff mode if you need to
- either use your mouse to drag or control the weight using numeric panel...

hehe... that's all for controlling subpatch I guess... subpatch is actually a useful tool to do organic modelling... hehe... though I know the way to control it I still couldn't do it well... must practice more...

hehe... Poring has some transparency actually...
cute model anyway...

ya, transparency eats a lot of resources... have to render both the background and the foreground, then blend the image, remove alias...... compare to the non-transparent version, it's much slower... and if there's an event that lots of porings will appear at the same time, those with slow pcs will jam... hmmm... but as a fan art, it should be half transparent...

ps~
at least add a few reflection, more specularity, adjust edge transparency and apply some fresnel if available in your software...

screen spoilt? have you tried to degauss? sometime you need to degauss very often if your screen location is near to an electromagnetic device, for your screen's longer life...

ps~ hehe... that poring's reflection is too high...

aiks... sorry, refraction...

wow! nice effect! I wonder which software did you use? Maya?
hmmmm... for video hosting you can try ourmedia.com or multiply.com...

refraction problem? ^^

yeap... the "vanishing point" function is damn powerful in photoshop cs3!! check it out here...

ermm... ya photoshop cs3 extended comes with this function... 3D objects can now be imported as smart objects, you could edit them as well, it renders almost real-time, and you can rasterize them to pixels too...

check this out ^^
