MAXON C4D XL - best of the best.... :)

Outstanding model! Great render. but you see its not C4D XL who made it, it was you. It doesnt matter the brand of the pencil, but the artists hand. Keep it up!!

Thank. But the tool too matters. It facilitates work. It would not seem to me that in other program I could make it for one hour :) By the way, if it is interesting to someone - I can send source file by e-mail.

Looks good so far.

looks good mad ! please post your updates and please keep this a software specific free as much as possible unless it helps in modeling not bitchin just trying to keep the flames and debate about software at bay chief is this going to be a full character ? clothes or just a female ?


Teyon ( ) posted Fri, 16 November 2001 at 10:10 PM

Neat. Trav, I think Logan was just trying to say it's not the program but how experienced you are with it that counts. I must say it's a great model and in my eyes, complete. Not every model needs a head...even 3D stores need manequins. :)


Teyon ( ) posted Fri, 16 November 2001 at 10:11 PM

Please, give us a description (brief or detailed) of how you made the model. Nurbs or Polys?

OK :) This model was made without any purposes. We have argued with one my friend - in what program to make models easy and fastly. And on two computers during one hour we are modelling a female torso. The friend - in MAX, I - in C4D. I have won:) Model - lowpoly with the subsequent smoothing (subdivision surfaces technology).


Tephladon ( ) posted Sat, 17 November 2001 at 7:40 AM

I bet I could do that in an half hour using LW 6.5 I am use to using Lightwave and I model mostly humans. Teyon is right. If we put you in Lightwave without your having experience with it, it would take you much longer to model. Experience is what counts. 1st knowing how to model and 2nd knowing how to use your program tools to model. Your friend may not have been as adept at using max as you are at using C4D. Shoes wont make you run faster. Only exercise, and practice will. However anyone will run slower in heavy boots. You obviously have the skill and know-how and C4D must be a set of runnings shoes in opposed to something like Ray Dream 3D which are heavy boots.

I agree. It is valid so...

not only a fantastic model... I although like the radiosity pictures blue color scheme:)

I would have to agree that it's the not the program but your experience with it that counts. I use (brace yourself) Carrara for the most part, and I have no trouble modeling fairly detailed human forms in a relatively short amount of time. I'm not saying that I'm great at it, or that it would be possible to model a complete human form in an hour with Carrara, but that the fact that I'm fairly experienced with it makes me much faster than someone who got their copy yesterday. I also think that your personal working habits (process, technique, etc) can either add or take away from a particular app's effectiveness for you.


mad.s ( ) posted Wed, 28 November 2001 at 1:48 AM

It seems to me, that main is a practice and skills... Because it is possible and in the most simple program to make very difficult models. But, IMHO, there are programs, which "help" to the user to work fast and conveniently....


Tephladon ( ) posted Wed, 28 November 2001 at 10:29 AM

I thought that carrara was a great product, minus the bugs. Had Metacreations not pull the plug it could have become something formiddable but we all know what happened on that deal.


TRAVISB ( ) posted Wed, 28 November 2001 at 11:43 AM

i started with carrara but just before they folded even held out for them to fix the program! and when they were takenn to evoia i was happy then the only thing evoia ever did wassend me offers on amapi after about 4months i decided to go with lw and happy i did i think carra has or had alot of potintal thogh !

One very clever person say - "...that tool is COOL with which you know how to work " :)


mad.s ( ) posted Wed, 28 November 2001 at 6:07 PM

But if be serious - each artist selects the tool for itself. Main - that the tool did not prevent self-expression. I do not know how correctly to tell it on English, but on russian there is such concept - resistance of a material... It just about that. The tool should not be a barrier between the creator and creation.... It is healthy, when you can make everything. And to show it to other. The tool is not important. The practice and is important... Desire. But also the tool can help to this. Magnificent (and absolutely free) Metasequoia of my Japanese friend O.Mizno... MAXON Cinema4D XL.... Best 3D package of all times and peoples, great Softimage | XSI... Sorry, people, my English is very bad :(


mad.s ( ) posted Wed, 28 November 2001 at 6:13 PM

Main - that the tool, with which you use, did not be a barrier for you.

It's my old works sample... May be it will to someone interestingly in a context of our conversation...
