It's a good engine but I hate light maps. VXGI, AHR, etc are good free alternatives to real time GI. Do note that some of these free alternatives can be resource heavy if not optimized correctly.

>>533823
Seems VXGI pretty nice, any downsides?

Without optimization in VXGI the fps could drop to poop without consideration. But I'm currently using it and getting 110fps on a 780ti so so far, so good.

Autodesk Maya ?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is Pixar's marionette? Don't they share assets? If not, this might just be something they custom made for the animators.

>>533726
Frozen was made by Disney though, not Pixar.

That's a cute bichon frisé op.

thanks. He's supposed to be a mix of maltese with toy poodle tho. At least his parents looked the part

learn 2d first

>>532698
I do know 2d pretty well, I'm assuming you just mean drawing, right?

I don't know if posting my work is relevant, but if it comes to making texture or drafting characters, I don't think it will be an issue for me.

I am mostly concerned with the program I need to learn, and the process/workflow. It's unfamiliar to me.

>>532699
Download the student version of Maya. You can bullshit student credentials; nobody even checks.
then just watch youtube tutorials. There are heaps of them.

Looks like the image you posted is a collage / photoshop piece rather than an actual 3d render. Look for sources of inspiration in architectural drawings as many of the ideas can be translated into 3d renders. These sites have a good collection of drawings in different styles, some done by hand, others digitally.

http://architectural-review.tumblr.com/
http://drawingarchitecture.tumblr.com/

When making these images you don't have to rely on one program / method to get your images. Compositing renders in photoshop can produce some really nice results from fairly basic renders. A common technique for complex perspective drawings is to model up the basic space in 3d, render out the massing and light, then draw over the top to add more detail and character. pic related. You can use these to set up some crazy multiple perspective point drawings with relative ease.

You can also output renders as line drawings in some programs and then bring them into programs like illustrator to work on the details. A good technique for producing clean looking images which can be blown up big, especially if you are not confident in your hand drawing skills.

How you make your image abstract is up to you, but i'd suggest that you should carefully consider your choice of perspective, field of view, usage of color, light, material and the models you are using. Even the most mundane house could become something otherworldly if you approach it in the right way.

drawing is kinda skill which you should work on repetitively, for many years, it's not the same as reading manual/watching tutorial and there will be exact explanations to which you'll follow and got to some point, you won't know exactly what you are doing wrong to google it and correct (not saying that 3dcg is easy or anything). you must train your hand for years to make it do what you forsee,
for example if you'll learn 3dcg for 3 years non stop and really give in it, you'll get to some good spot, because you'll know many many technical things which will help you, but drawing in 3 years if you know nothing, you'll still be shit. if you are not ultra talented

3DCG is the same at the end and all art forms which there is, you'll only get to some point with technical thing, then comes imagination which will define what you'll be, and it can be trained, it needs good taste and right inspirations IMHO

I only just started 3D and I've been drawing for years, but I think that I'm finding 3D easier. Possibly I just don't know enough to realise how shit I am yet.

I suspect it varies from person to person. Some people find it easier to visualise things in different ways.

>>533326
of course, if we didnt have 3D everyone would be steamrolling Fengs FZD schoool

please tell me there's some way to make right click orbit in 3d studio max?

>>531191

You could set a hot key for the orbit view button.

>>531192
problem is that most other 3d programs i use have right click to orbit so i keep doing right click instead of clicking orbit instead

viper 10/10, love the style and rendering
do you freelance?
contact me: [email protected] (send some other renders of this viper as proof that it's you)

---------------------
Maya > 3DsMax but
Blender > Maya
Takes a while to get used to but completely worth it + it's free (ignore this fact tho, it's fukken fantastic in every way + usermade addons!!)

Yeah, sorry. Was away. I'm not currently looking for work since I have a job. Although, I could still send you the renders, never know when we might need each other :D

I think I'll go with Maya, their 2016 UI seems nice and there's tons of tutorials online for what I wanna do.

Here's another render.

Additional info:
Rendering to an .avi file, encoded with DV.
Resolution 1920x1080.
Iterations, 250
Rendering with Proxies

Now, I know that there's a "skip rendered images" feature, but I don't know if it works for AVI files. If it does, I could probably cancel rendering and continue later, but I'm not sure.

Post a frame of your work, the best one.
After we laugh at you, redo everything in Mental Ray, using a decent desktop.
Windows hibernation sometimes simply turns off MAX, or any other app it was running.
If you didn´t saved your project prior to render, you lost it. Turn off your render NOW and save your project, write down what frame it was and re-render de sequence from that frame.
This is why you don´t render directly to AVI, but to still image format sequences.

I'm not really good at modeling yet, but here goes.

I don't have a desktop nor have access to one, this laptop's my only way out (other than render farms).

And I had saved the .max files every change or so, then before rendering, so that won't be much of an issue.

Also, how do I render to sequence? Same as rendering to avi, in save to file then selecting image file or something?

>>533392
You'll learn more by picking up pen and paper and start drawing til you can get your hands on a proper computer than trying to get into 3D on an iPad.

If you are serious about this you should think long term and make the most of your situation by building skills where you can.

>>533393
I do have some art skills.
I wouldn't say it's the best, but it is not bad.

>>533392

Not for the ipad no. Get a cheap laptop and get rpg maker or something.
