I´ve only tried Ver 3, well it´s kind of funny if you want to play around and get results quickly, but it´s not for professional use.
Have you tried Animation Master? heard a lot of good things about that program, professionals are using it for building and setting up animations and then they export it to Maya, Lightwave, Softimage or MAX.
After I formatted my hard drive (and lost all my work b/c I'm a dumbass and that was the only thing I forgot to backup), I haven't done anything much. Currently I'm working on something, so when I'm done I'll show you some.
*LOL*
That same thing happend to me too!
I usually have some sort of list of things I have to backup before I format my disks, but this time I naturally forgot to put my artwork on it, I had it somewhere in the back of my mind that it was something that was missing...
Fortunately I could salvage some art from websites where I´ve put it, but not all things, like some models I´m currently working on for a Starwars Fanfilm!
Just to start things over again I guess, GAH!
Woah, cool a Starwars fan film. That will be quite a task. I myself am currently working on a game- it a project for school. It'll take place in ancient Nubia, and I have to make artifacts and all. Will be tough, but not impossible.
Yepp!, that´s right!, quite some task it is!
Well, if you are interested I strongly urge you to visit the official website for more information on the film!
VERY IMPRESSIVE! Which software do you use mostly? Also, this seems to be a big thing- are you an animator by profession, or is this a hobby and you are helping out? Quite a project I must say. When did you get into animation?
I´ve been doing 3D for about 2½ years now I guess.
My first contact with a 3D app was Bryce, I found it easy to use and it´s not that complicated to learn.
I eventually decided to study, and I got into a school that teaches CAD, 3D and other programs, Here I came in contact with that lovely program called 3D Studio!
Almost a year ago I came in contact with one of the guys working on the fanfilm, he explained his "visions" with the film and I thought it would be a nice challenge to create ships and props so I decided to join!
