John 3:16BIOI am 17 years old and fairly new to the world of 3d and I find it really intriguing. I will probably do this for a career, God willing! I also enjoy playing music. I have a family bluegrass band and we are currently touring the state of Colorado, playing at various churches and other organizations. We recently went to Honduras for a mission trip and that was totally awesome! We just made a CD this summer, and guess what!!?? I made the cover on Bryce!!! I thought that it was sweet that i could combine my two favorite things into one single project. I have just gotten into animation within the past several months. I just finished an epic surrealistic chess battle which i got a grade for in art class, and I am now getting into extreme modeling and animation in MAX. I am just learning, so if there is anyone out there that can give me a few generic beginner's tips, I welcome them! As far as my 3D world goes, I started in October of 2003 with a hacked version of Bryce 5 that I found on an obsolete laptop in the corner of my art room at school. I began making very primitive landscapes like Bryce is so good for, and then I finally made breakthroughs and started creating some cool stuff. After over a year of "mastering" Bryce, my friend introduced me to 3ds Max and I was instanly hooked. So I got me a copy of it and it is well worth it!!! So now I am combining my knowledge of Bryce with the awesome modeling features of MAX while learning more about both programs and the art in general. It is really fun and I hope to be a part of the next generation of animators and artists!!! Renderosity rocks!

woo it's shocking how wonderful the smallest of ideas can be... :D keep up the good work :D :D

great work..just a thought..if you click on the object, and go to the 'e' next to the setting, you can smooth out the model (it's a problem with several packages, not just 3dsmax..;), and get a more rounded look on some of the faces..unless it's supposed to be that way. Good composition and lighting, keep it up..

really cool idea, but: lot of models, same texture. GOOD!

ya...I figured that out right after I posted the image yesterday...it looks a lot better now. I am working on the rest of the chess set and I will post the finished version sometime later. thanks for the comments.
