3D Sketchbook thread?

Architectural visualisation work from my final year at uni.

Now working in the film side of CG and loving it, specifically lighting and rendering.

Wow TMP, I thought that was a real picture of a real room!

Hey TMP looks great! I'm also working in film (as a lighting TD as it happens) - which company do you work for?

Work is all pretty crap at the moment, 3rd year doing general digital media, but wanting to go into CG stuff.
Possibly thinking of architectural vis for honors year then try and get into film when graduated.

Cool! I'm lighting TD at MPC at the moment, you?. Would love to show some recent work but don't think that would go down to well

Nice rendering TMP - if you took out the sofa, chair and wine glass most people wouldn't be able to tell it wasn't a photo

(not say they look bad but they show the tell tale signs of being rendered).

Just thought i'd post a few of the results iv'e got from a few intro tutorials to max, which I have had a lot of fun learning and doing. Gonna start doing my own stuff soon which should be fun and then some buildings

Go easy they are the first things I've done

Also, holy thread revival

had a quick look through this thread, some really top drawer stuff!
was wondering if anyone here builds a model in sketch up and then uses another program to render it?? I like using sketch up, mostly for the speed you can rattle something up at, and don't really have time/cash to learn something new!
I do a lot of architectural stuff, mostly externals but partial to a meaty perspective section... would be nice to render them a bit nicer than sketch up/photoshop

That seems to be used quite a bit, Stupot used it in the second post. Does some quick little renders and there is a lot of literature about it on that site

Heh, I'll see if I can dig out any of my old Amiga renders at some point, I did a few logo animations for a nightclub which was good for free entry

I can't believe some of the work on here.
Amazing. Something I would love to try out.
Are there any cheaper but easy to learn packages available?

How do you do some of the ultra realistic modelling? Ars they doen from scratch or using photos to build a model? For example the SLR on the first page.

oh I forgot about this thread!
I'll have a load of stuff to put up soon...mostly compositing work, but it's all 3D!

this is a train I've just done for my cg motion and dynamics assignment; I'm going to develop it more after my other assignemtns are over.
modeled in Maya, all passes rendered in maya / mental ray.
composited in Eyon Fusion.

It's all rigged too see here for the video of the animation and turntable:

also working on a big crowd replication on a match moved camera with a cg beast! as part of a multi year group assignment which I will upload when done.

AHarvey · 19 Jan 2011 at 02:27

I did have a copy of 3dsMax lying around somewhere and an old "bible" book to help work you though it, but its got to be 8-10 years old now.

Think I might just download Blender and have a play, always meant to try 3d modelling but never had the time.

That is amazing. How long did it take you to produce it?

Yeah, that's brilliant... is it manually animated or is there some sort of (IK?) mechanism to do it? I used to dabble a little with 3D apps but was never really any good.
