Hello world

Hi, I am new to this forum, and stumbled upon it when looking for a good resource to help improve my skills in 3ds max, and hopefully help a few beginners out. There are precious few good resources for beginners in 3d max.

 

I am self taught, been working with max on and off now for about 7 years, but only taken it seriously as a career option for the last 2 of those.

 

Animation and special effects are what I am interested in.

 

Currently I have undertaken to learn all about Vray and have been playing around with it for a few months now using the suck it and see method of learning. So this year I will be seriously attacking this subject in an effort to tame the beast.

 

I also like to work in Zbrush, particularly for organic geometry.

 

Here are a couple of examples of my stuff, to give you an idea what my skill level with 3d max is (or not :oops:)

Thanks Cad64, I am still a relative beginner with Vray.

 

Vray still frame rendering and Vray animation rendering are completely different subjects.

With me, it's all about saving render time. I have three computers, combined I bucket render out to all 18 cores. Vray does not lend well to animation rendering, especially with irradiance, so there is a lot of tweaking to stop blotching or speckling in the output renders.

realy great work. how did you make the coin faces? Did you model them or use a displacement map?

 

Thanks, After playing about with this for about six months I settled on a "slight" displacement over a bump or normal. Coins just demand proper geometry relief, and not an illusion.

I really like the closeup of the coins. Impressive work for a "beginner".

 

Beginner is probably subjective. I also frequent max forums and they are a hard bunch. As far as the level of work on that forum goes, I am still a beginner, having only been seriously studying the software for about 2 years (mucked about on and off for about 7). Thanks for the big up. It is by far my most realistic work to date.
