3D Studio Max Portfolio - need honest opinions.

**CKemu** · March 18th, 2002

I am trying to get a course in 3D animation/character modelling, and I have been learning MAX R3.0 for a year, what do u lot think of my work, what do u hate/like and y? I need some constructive critism before I dare to show my full portfolio to a Uni!!

Here's a Basic one to start, just to test my lighting skills.

Thanku for any opinions you guys/girls have.

well, it's a heck of a lot better than I could do. speaking of modeling, is Milkshape's website back open yet¿ if not, does ne1 know of a good tutorial for Milkshape¿

**CKemu** · March 18th, 2002

Some of you will of seen this one before, its quite recent, based on a arty/aparment style, just really to show (try to) design

**CKemu** · March 18th, 2002

This one is a bedroom (no not mine), its quite old, and made in about 3 days, so alittle rushed....

**CKemu** · March 18th, 2002

I did two shots of this desert scene the car took about 3 weeks the rest of the scene was made in a week, the 2 shots are to show the scene, and then show the detail on the car, car first:

here's shot 2

I don't mean to sound like a jerk (bringing this up all the time and everything), but if u just say the word, u can have many the active members of EmuForums sending the site that screwed u over with the bandwidth one or more emails a day until they agree to host u for the bandwidth u need at the price u were gonna pay. I have seen stuff like this work, several ppl in history have done it (send 1 letter a week or something to a place until they give in just to stop the spam).

btw, it's a truck, not a "car", but other than that, those look really good (great detail on the TRUCK)

wow, i think these are great
no improvment needed

RobXMcCarthy · March 19th, 2002

Hello fellow 3d modeler, if I may suggest one thing.. Try adding a larger contact area o the bottom of the tires. if you look at a car/truck the tires give a little on the bottoms. Also, in the second truck picture, try nudging the front shocks down a little. Or rather place the car body lower on the shocks, and add a stonger shadow underneath. Other than that. Looks great.!

**CKemu** · March 19th, 2002

@ Kr0nic_2000 : thanks!!!!

@ RobXMcCarthy : thanks for the suggestions, there pretty good ideas thanku, I shall work on the truck (I was tired) and make those alterations, just out of curioustiy how long have you been 3D modelling?

@ Mr Urt : Hmm I think I may of found a new host anyhow, but I am not gonna say much until I have it sorted, and it turns out far cheaper, not that I am letting off the previous host off, I am gonna be making some 'complaints' via certain people!

Thanks for the feed back, here's a few more, just to see what people think, and hopefully settle some nerve's when seeing this uni.......GULP oh and its nice to get some critism.

Here's some dice, basic, but made last nite in about 45mins

**CKemu** · March 19th, 2002

Meet Emma the Alien, just a simple character, she has a full IK chain, but in this shot she is in a neutral postition for general purpose use!!

**CKemu** · March 19th, 2002

Something I made more valentines/e-cards style, it is a simple model of a heart and the word love, put into a 100% reflective box, with raytrace lighting, the material itself is a basic black shaded, 100% reflective surface

**CKemu** · March 19th, 2002

If u have noticed the green chair in my second post, this is basically a image of showing how it started low-poly and then was meshsmoothed into the finished result, the chair only took 10 mins to model/tweak.......

**CKemu** · March 19th, 2002

hmmmm old, badly lit, but shows some of my earlier material, this is a piece I did to try and creat a modern art gallery, with appropriate piece of modern art centre stage, though don't ask me what its meant to be as I just plain made it up!! eheh

**CKemu** · March 19th, 2002

an unfinished piece, the character is called Mr Blobus, and his PURPLE!!! but its work in prgress as he needs to be posed/ IK'd for an animation.

**CKemu** · March 19th, 2002

Next Gen Egg, basically I was ripping the P out of people who have a fear of genetic Engineering, so I was making a spoof on what some people believe will hppen if we use DNA editing etc.....

(sorry if anyone finds it offensive, if they disagree with Genetic Engineering)

**CKemu** · March 19th, 2002

Tex the Alien Dog, just a weird dog really!!

**CKemu** · March 19th, 2002

This tropical scene was made using Vue d'Esprit 2.0, and took a day, I basically did this scene to test the program, what do u think, it was a first attempt, and to me not really modelling as it is more texture choosing and object placement

Nightmare · March 19th, 2002

hey Ckemu, i must say that your works are very impressive.IMHO your works say more than thoundsand words, It is no way that the univesity not accpet you as its student.

Since you even know how to model 3d characters, i think your skills are up to the standard if not more.

p/s The bed room scene and the desert scene are my favourite. The weird dog and those 3d models also look good.

Mr Urt · March 19th, 2002

Emma the alien needs bigger boobs and a shorter skirt. I also have a request, could u pls make another ocean sceen like the one u made with Vue d'Esprit 2.0¿ if u do, pls make it wallpaper size (i.e. 1024x768, or even 1280x1024 if the image isn't too big to upload). thx

DANG! I wanna learn too be that good!

[edit]congrats on 1000 too!
