The Hello Thread

[Ferreira]

Hello i'm new here so i wanted to say hello to all those who are already here!
and i think it's a good ideia to have a thread for the new people that come in introduce themselves...
anyway, i hope I enjoy my stay...

[morganzacd5p]

Greetings

[evil_genius_180]

Welcome aboard. I hope you enjoy your stay also. Do you do any modeling/art or do you just like to discuss it and various other topics?

[etwtewtew]

:arrow: hello

[evil_genius_180]

You want a cookiee or something?

[morganzacd5p]

You want a cookiee or something?

Nope... A Wookiee :arrow:

[evil_genius_180]

I spelled cookie wrong, didn't I? Freakin' Wookiees, anyway.

[xcalpro]

Hello, I am new to this site as well and from what I have seen so far its impressive.

[Ferreira]

evil_genius_180, i'm trying to learn some things about modelling, but for now i just like to discuss and see the art others make...

Cool. It's great to have you here. Hopefully we can be helpful and maybe you can even teach some of us some tricks. :D

Welcome. It's great to have you here also. From what I've seen of your work, it's impressive as well. :)

[admiralspock]

Hi,
I'm new here as well. Seems like a nice commuinity in here. I have worked with Bryce, Poser and Cinema4d in the past 6 years and created a few trek textures here and there.

[morganzacd5p]

Anything you can show us?

[evil_genius_180]

Welcome, admiralspock. I like the membername. Been reading some of William Shatner's Trek books? :wink:

[verath]

I just joined a few days ago and it's nice to see how friendly everyone is. Kudos to all.

[evil_genius_180]

*whispers to other members*

Hey, somebody thinks we're friendly. Nobody screw it up.

:D Cheers, welcome again.

[verath]

You mean you're not friendly? Great and I'm all out of red shirted body doubles.

[evil_genius_180]

Of course we're not friendly. I'm the evil mirror universe version of EG180, I have the goatee to prove it. :evil:

[verath]

Oh my... Now If I could find a mesh of the new Galactica in 3ds max I'll be happy.

[evil_genius_180]

I see you registered at Cononial Fleets, I thought there was one there. It's on the last page of the Colonial Military models, I think.

[verath]

I'm not allowed to download anything yet it seems.

[evil_genius_180]

Yeah, I was wrong anyway. The new Galactica over there is in LW 5.6 format. I checked another site and didn't find one. I know a lot of people have attempted it and some have even finished, but I guess they haven't released it.

[verath]

*nods* figured as much. That was the pm question I was going to ask you anyway.

[evil_genius_180]

Cool. Yeah, I don't use Max, but a lot of people do. Warrior, the guy that owns this place and CF, works in LW, so he converts a lot of models to that format and puts them on his sites for LW 5.6 and LW 7. I guess it's up to the individual modelers to upload them in Max format.

[wulf111]

Hi everyone,

another noob to the fourms here. Seems that for the most part this place is very quiet. well not quite a noob here i have been lurking for quite awhile and finally decided to post and make myself a home here :) ho[pe you all dont mind.


just a little about me, I am a low poly modeler mostly for games like SFC3, mainly self taught. i have been modeling for about 4 years now i am decent at it altho texturing is totally beyond me how you guys do it i dont know i cant seem to get my mind to think in 2D only 3D LOL (the shapes call to me and tell me what they want to become ) i will have to dig up some examples of my work to show you all.

Wulf111

[gmd3d]

Cool Wulf .. most welcome ..It be cool to see your art

[evil_genius_180]

Welcome to the insanity, Wulf. :evil:

What software do you use for your 2D and 3D creations?

[morganzacd5p]

you from 359? (bad joke)

[evil_genius_180]

Yeah, that was bad. :nonono:

[Lee]

:wtf: huh? :wtf:

[morganzacd5p]

:wtf: huh? :wtf:

Its an old TNG thing... Wolf 359 was the big Borg bat...and you really dont give a care.
(Beat inner geek back to its dark cave :bash: )

[evil_genius_180]

Yeah, LR has a passing knowledge of Trek. I knew exactly where you were going, it just wasn't funny. :tongue:

[wulf111]

LOL thanks for the warm welcome everyone i am sure i will fit right in with you all :)

[gmd3d]

Well!! you have the measure our humor :) don't worry it only get worse :)

[morganzacd5p]

Well!! you have the measure our humor :) don't worry it only get worse :)

(Reviews all the threads he's worked with)
Wait... Uh hu... Um, yea, sounds about right :biggrin:

[gmd3d]

[wulf111]

well i promised a look at some of my work so here it is

[victor1st]

Hey folks :)

Just joined as im trying to get my Star Trek poser stuff back again after my harddrive crashed :(

[evil_genius_180]

Ah, the old HD crash. Been there. Done that. Got the t-shirt. That's why I back up on CD now. Did you just lose your info or did the whole drive die?

[AriesDW]

Hey folks;

Many of you who was on 3DG a long time ago would know me as Zanith, someone whom once had the reputation amongst many as a 2D starship designer, I was made known through my work of making the Jupiter Project . . .

Anyways, I want to say hello and I hope to see great things happen on this forum!

HELLO ALL!!
:biggrin:

[evil_genius_180]

Welcome back, AriesDW. :D Though, sounds like you were from before my time on this forum, it's great to have you back and I'd love to see some 2D starship designs.

[Lee]

Hi there AriesDW, nice to meet you. I would also love to see some 2D starships...

[morganzacd5p]

Dont knwo ya, but glad to meet ya...

[AriesDW]

Thank you for your greetings. I will have to dig out the old files . . . Who are the big starship designers around here now-a-days?

[BtaraKtahn]

Hi!

I joined over a year ago while looking for something (and subsequently had to go to the Colonial Warriors site because I didn't know that all of the BSG stuff was at another location).

After finally meeting the required 5 post minimum to download here, I rather wish that folks would put a little more effort into the Download Descriptions. They tend to only say whether things are Lightwave files but not if they're .PZ3's, neither of which are in big demand in my Runtime.

I haven't found a place to post requests yet, either.

*will post them here, then, since she might have someone's attention on the matter and honestly hopes it's not someone who will get mad and ban her or posting to the wrong forum thread*

Star Trek alien head morphs for Aiko 3.0, Hiro 3.0, Aiko Toon and Hiro Toon; especially Klingon, Bajoran and Romulan/Vulcan, in easy to apply INJ/REM poses. I tried using the V3 Klingon head morphs with Aiko in Poser but that wound up muxxing up her head terribly, and since I don't have the stupid commercial Morph Import thing from DAZ (which I'm under the impression wouldn't work with my luck, anyway), I'm pretty much S.O.L. (and not in the MST3K sense of the word).

I'd do more Star Trek toons if I just had the tools to work with at my disposal. :)

[evil_genius_180]

Have you tried uploading a file? You only get so much space to post your description. Also, some of them were re-uploaded by Warrior after the site got revamped a while back and he had so much to do that he didn't have time to go into lengthy descriptions.

And, welcome to the site. :D

[Henglaar]

Hullo, all. I'm a 50 y.o. former electronic technician in aerospace with a shiny new VT[4] (and therefore, a shiny new copy of Lightwave), and a shiny new copy of Poser. I did enough work in Aladdin4D on my Amiga to know that I'm not likely to ever be a particularly good artist, but I'm hoping that the more advanced software will be better at helping me hide that. [wry smile]

I've also been aboard Star Trek: Hidden Frontier for lo, these last seven years, and I'm hoping to contribute a little bit towards our final two episodes, mostly in the way of Poser background players. We expect to have a lot of people dashing to battle stations or wounded and needing triage, and there's only so much you can do in front of a green screen in someone's den, especially only working on weekends. [grin]

To that end, I hope to find people who have late-era TNG uniforms for Poser (the ones with the gray shoulders), or can quickly teach a newbie to make his own. Learning how to apply "makeup" for dirt and trauma would be useful, too.

And I'm greenest of the green: it was only yesterday that I managed to get a Poser figure to stop stepping out of her clothes, and even then, her hair seems to sometimes have some difficulty in keeping up with her. I'm also gradually working my way through the tutorial manual, but even for an experienced tech, it's hard to go through the manual when I want to race on ahead. [shaking head]

This is something like my third post, so it will be awhile yet before I can download. And I guess I need to add an avatar to my profile too. My preferred avatar (me in Tellarite makeup) is on my other computer. The one that seems to be increasingly wonky. Well, I'll get it transferred over, or think of something new for here . . .

[BtaraKtahn]

Well, ain't you all gou shi shiny, now? :) Glad ya' found your way in from the Black.

Poser's a lot of fun, but it gets to be an expensive hobby very quickly.

Break a leg with that Star Trek episode thingy-doober! (yes, fear my Techno-jargon!)

Yep, got back from the Black just in time to learn the Alliance won the goram war.

[chuckle] The same can be said for computers in general; Poser's just better at nickeling and dimeing us to death. [grin]

Yeah, I hope the Boss can use my fearful (uh, fearsome?) CGI talents. If not, well, maybe for our next series, whatever that turns out to be. The last seven years have been fun, but Rob sometimes stretches himself too thin, and I have the delusion of being able to take some of the load off. [wry smile]

[gmd3d]

Welcome aboard Henglaar ..... look forward to seen your work in the future :)

Welcome aboard Henglaar ..... look forward to seen your work in the future :)

Well, if you want to see my existing work as an actor or makeup artist, you could always go over to Star Trek: Hidden Frontier. [grin]

My work in Poser is just at the stage where they don't walk out of their clothes any more. [wry smile]

[morganzacd5p]

I always hated when that happened during a fitting. But there is just no pleasing some models. :D

I had some clever response when I hit the "quote" button, but it's gone now. :-(

At any rate, thank you all for welcoming a newbie to the site. I'm not terribly social, but I'll try very hard to be more than just another data leech.

[Star Dragon]

Hey all long time newb ("the silent surfer"). I probably found this site before CF so totally missed the rule of 5 (lol). I checked in about every 6 months (damn they never post anything, what is this an elitist CG board?) Haha.

If you don't recognize the name (you probably will in the future) I am on many boards that involve space sim gaming and 3d modling. (once in a while something catches my attention like jingling keys and I throw a fawning comment out of the blue and then go back to silent lurk mode on sites I am less active on).

I mainly modify a game called Freespace2 and have different levels of involvement in several projects (half are my own). I prefer voice acting due to being relatively easy and very enjoyable to hear yourself in the finished effort. I do however take great pleasure in taking a piece of art an artist have painfully and lovingly created, and "blowing the Poogees out of it"! (cookie for reference).

My interests are all Sci-Fi/Anime/and Fantasy, but I tend to shy away from the less mature or silly ones. (Slayers being the rare exception cause it's more a parody on Fantasy).

Nothing gets me more excited than a Space Battleship or a new Mecha.

Trivia: My name is the Americanized version of Getter Robo G from 1976 created by Go Nagai and brought to America by Matell Toys and Jim Terry Productions for Broadcast in the late 70's.

...I'm a virgo if anyone cares... :D

I'm new here also. Long time Trek fan, since the late 70's. I'm especially interested in Trek blueprints/deckplans, not sure if I've stumbled into the right place or not but I look forward to looking around.

Welcome, everyone!

*is late to the party, but hell... I own the place! :D *

Hi guys! New-ish here also. Signed up long time ago, and just getting back into the game of 3d. Mostly Poser stuff. Looking forward to scanning the boards more though.

Hi folks,

I'm new here also. love the site. The forums are very helpful.

[TurboPascal]

Hi,

I'm also new here. I played around with poser a bit (quite a long time ago (I think it was Poser 3) and finally I came back to Poser (7) some weeks ago.

[Lee]

Welcome to the boards. Hope you enjoy your stay and show us some of your art.

[one01]

I'm new here. Wanting to make a short star wars thing for youtube.com

[Ghostening]

Hello all! I'm new here, as you may know. I like to produce images mainly for my own personal use. I use Poser 7, 3ds, Bryce, and Photoshop.

[deathwisp]

Hi, I'm new here, too. Guess there's a couple new member threads around here, so I'll give a bit more info on myself.

Big fan of Dr Who.. only recently became a fan of BSG, so I'm not as knowledgeable about it, but I'm working on that as I work my way through the episodes. :) Very awesome so far.

I do a bit of 3d art using DAZ Studio. I'll post any I feel worthy of posting here in these forums.

Well, hello again!

[Isarian]

Hi all

I am new to the boards.
I have just started on the road of 3D art after many years of game modding. I have always wanted to make the models instead of coding them and thought i'd try it now i have more spare time on my hands.

[UrbanArmitage]

Welcome to all the new guys here. Not that i'm a part of the furniture yet! :)

[kmkenpo]

Hi all... somewhat new to this stuff myself, so forgive me if I ask a few questions that may have been asked before.

[roni190]

Hello all, found the link over at the Daz forum and thought I'd stop by. Still fairly new to 3D rendering myself, I dabbled a bit until a vicious computer meltdown and am just getting back into the swing of things. Primarily use daz3d but own poser 6 (just for the dynamic cloth room) and dabble with deep-paint for the afterwork.

Great looking site and look forward to picking the brains of the pros with some hopefully not too lame questions.


Peace!

[Freeman43]

Hello i am new as you can see and i am really interested in Star Trek and in space in general. But yet i am not that good in 3D modeling just yet i can find a good free one to use. i am a nice guy here if you try to piss me off well you can't but don't try. I just wanted to see if i can get better and this place looks like a good place to start. i am 15 and i live in Texas.

[catherine3678a]

Hello all,

I'm also in from the Daz forums where there's an active ST thread. Nice to find more 3d forums and meet more people!

[gmd3d]

Welcome aboard :)

I think Star Trek is the most popular subject matter for members to work on. it is for me.

thanks for saying hello too.

Hello everyone,
I'm somewhat new here, although I used to frequent the forums
awhile back. My artwork has been suffering lately due to real life
issues, and I'm hoping this holiday break will restart my creative juices.
I'm a die hard scifi enthusiast, so I really like what you have here.

first welcome aboard and I am glad you have dropped in to say hello.

we all go though dry patches and I hope your time here will be fun and we want to see art.

:) I think were all die hard sci-fi fans here.

what program do you use.

Welcome to all new arrivals. We love enthusiasm here, and I see a bit in these posts. Look forward to seeing your art grace the forums AND gallery :)

I originally started using Bryce and then became interested in DazStudio,
which I currently use. Will be getting back to Bryce (mostly for space scenes and alien landscapes). Also trying to learn Carrara.

ah we have a great Carrara user here. Fretslayer. one of our Mods ..

I like to see alien landscape, really looking forward to what you will do.


we have a Help forum if your stuck and some one will try to help you out and if they don´t know find it and post it here.

[Fretslayer]

Hello sdorsey.

I cut my teeth on Bryce v.1 when I first got into CG.
Carrara is my weapon of choice so if you need help with something feel free to ask. If I don't already know it, I can probably figure it out. :D

Welcome to the forums and I look forward to seeing some of your artwork. :D

Thank you for your offer of assistance. I know I will have a great need for it. The laptop I'm using has Vista (my worst nightmare). I should have backgraded it to XP when I got it, but wanted to give Vista a chance. However, I'm going to stick with it until I'm confortable with Carrara, before upgrading to Windows 7.

good luck with that ..

Great to see so many Carrara and daz users joining up..

don´t have a clue about them myself apart from what Fretslayer tells me.

I am now hoping to see loads of new art been shown :naughty::naughty: and not only models and wips ..

of course those are great too :). but he modelling is only the
beginning.
