I used to have a luxo Jr but my hardrive died and I lost it. if I still had it I would put them both in the same scene. but oh well, I’ll probbaly make another one evenetually. but heres a pic of what that one looked like.
Simply amazing! Even though it is a work in progress, I can tell how much attention to detail you are putting in to Andy’s room.
I’ve heard of Anim8or, but never used it. Looks like a good program though, especially for being free. I use Maya at school. Haven’t done much with modeling yet though.
Ive been modeling since 2002. but I havnt progressed a whole lot, if I did I’d have moved on to 3Ds Max or Maya by now. But learning those high end apps can be pretty intimidating. One of these days I’ll have to go outside my box and get my hands dirty.
Anyway, here’s a new render. this is the largest render Ive ever done, with a render time of 24 hours. Thats way longer than I expected. lol.
If I were to do an animation of one second at this resolution, on average at that rate it would take over a month. ha ha
I guess thats what render farms are for.
Anywho, as you can probably tell, Ive been workong on the shelf a bit more, adding some set dressing. its worth noting that that texture on the wagon is not mine, I just grabed it from the ultimate Toy Box and slapped it on . the rest of the textures are mine, but I gotta give credit where its due. I’ll probably make my own version of the same texture when this is all done with.
I made the luxo lamp larger, but Im not sure if this is a good size yet. what do you guys think?
The cool thing about this is that when this is all done, I should be able to also make andy room from Toy Story 2 with a few modifications and rearrangment of furniture. In theory of course. It might be harder than I think.
Kyle: Programs like 3ds max and Maya (I’ve used both) may seem intimidating at first, but they really aren’t that bad. Granted I started with Max, so I’ve been used to using them. I say give 'em a go if you get the chance. Since you have already have experience, it should be a fairly easy transition for you. I think you can handle it!
24 is indeed a long time! It’s looking good though! I think the size of the Luxo lamp works. I don’t think I’d make it much bigger. Keep up the good work!
