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!

The nose is a little chunky, but a good first effort overall. Nice use of color too. Keep it up.

Ok for distant shots but for a close up like this you need more polygons. Also try to model the wings and the body together then you get a nice flow. WW1 planes model them seperate but WW2 and modern planes you need to model them together.

cool. thanks for the critique guys. I have fixed the chunkyness of the nose. I never thought about modeling the wings and body together but that sounds much more sensible!
