I've been 3D modelling, using 3DSmax for around 6 months now, you'll see my models popping up in the art post section, as well as any 2D work I may pump out, which will probably be digital anyway, using my wacom tablet.
Discuss 3D stuff here.

Have you tried google sketchup? It's a fun little tool for ametuer 3D modellers who just want to have fun making buildings. We have it at school. But, for anybody who has 3DS max experience, i'm sure its rubbish :P

Na it's okay.
It's good for making buildings and architecture, but for making weapons, objects, etc, it becomes a little more bland.
Also I don't think you can render nicely with lighting, animate well, or bump map.
But yes, it is a start.

I take it that you are considering a career in 3d modelling then. I know of a few architects, they have a good life 8)

never tried 3d art xD

looks hard


(unless u count changing the color of sims clothing as 3d art then i have no idea)

Tried it, didn't like it.. I was better at modeling backgrounds and landscapes than anything else..

I wasn't GOOD at it, but I DID do it.. >.<

I never did 3D art, but I would like to try it.. Is ot really so hard?

I didn't think it was too hard, but I mostly experimanted and learned things myself >.<

I think it just takes practice is all.

I wish I had some program to try xD

Lol, I wish I had my old computer so I could keep trying.. <.<;;

I don't like it, but it's cool >.<

3D ish fun :D though i lost all ym models a while ago DX stupid windows vista *complains*

I saw some of your models, great stuff..
I'm glad i didn't install vista though (vista = evil)

If I ever get vista, I'll have it on a partition.

I really really admire people who model their own stuff using 3Ds Max or Maya or a similar program. :)

I don't have much respect for people who just move around pre-made models in Poser. It looks horrible (in my opinion), and it will never be "your" art because someone else created the model...

Lol, im keeping xp.

I though vista would be cool but now im glad i didnt get it.

I'm taking a 3D module at university at the moment.

It's really hard!!
