Hello

[MFXUK]

Hi all,

Just thought i'd introduce myself, I'm hopefully not just here for 5 posts and a download either.

I've recently (whilst at Uni) become interested in 3D modelling and computer art work. Something I stumbled upon when trying to create a short film and needing a spaceship to fly by a planet. All I can say is thank god for lens flares as they did a good job hiding the final model I made.

It's not something I fully understand and dare say something I will probably never fully understand, I have managed to make a few semi decent renders using other peoples models that have been available for download here and there online.

Hopefully over the coming months while I have a bit more time I will be able to pick up a few modelling techniques and be able to post my own creations here for your comments.

Well i'm starting to go on a bit now, but just to say hi, and i'm enjoying looking through the gallery and posts you've got here.

Welcome. Best help comes from posting your work for others to see. Then they are able to give pointers/suggestions/ideas :)

Which, of course, is what this site is about ;)

Thankyou.

That sounds like a good plan, i'm working on a Star Trek scene and animation at the moment, should hopefully have them done in a couple of days at the present rate, I'll look forward to some feedback.

I've been using blender to play with i'm now begining to get into Max which is what i've been shown in uni. I've had a go with Poser which also seems a lot of fun so at the moment i've not really chosen a program to use myself its only what i've been shown.
