Hi Michael Thanks for info it will help . Mark

HI Toshi great work Mark

Hi Michael thanks for the project . Great renders ! When I open the project it said not valid photon map so I hit skip and rendered project as it open seemed to take along time what was your time. Mark

Hi AVTPro Thanks for posting , I did one test bringing in a model from Zbrush 2 a few years ago . I have zbrush 3 and plan on trying new tests soon want to try that uv master. Any way looks great so far and Happy Birthday Mark

Hi Toshi very cool Mark

HI Bill Great work Mark

Hi does anyone know is there a product like this? You know these products like art explosion 300,000 vector files so many Jpg's ect ect. Is there a 3d art explosion you know something like 300.000 basic obj models with uvs and uv templates . It seems like at this point in the whole 3d world someone would put something like that together. The limitations of the uber shape plugin could be augmented by a general shape catalog in fac format that would have all kinds of basic shapes that could be combined to make the objects you desire. Not everyone wants to become a modeler an I think this type of approach could help a lot more people be come users of 3D products. Just a wild thought. Mark

Hi Nige thanks for the info Mark

Hi Richard and Tomas Thanks for encouragement . I am going to do my best to try and learn this program inside and out. I have all kinds of tutorials to help, but I feel a lot when doing some tutorials all you learn is to follow steps not to understand what's going on . So doing tests is the way to learn more. I spend a couple of days going through each deformer doing tests. Then for a couple of days I went through each shader doing tests. Then I rendered out a snap shot of every material on three objects a ( sphere cube torus ) at once so I made a library I can look at in adobe bridge to see what they look like when I need a material. Then I did tests with each kind of light. Then I started to make the model I'm working on cause I decided modeling and UV mapping are weak areas for me , where I need work. Mark an overview shot of My renders of materials

Hi NIGE Great looking render . I was wondering what format your getting the scenes in . How your converting them . How much time is it taking to do the conversions. I made a post asking this yesterday but it didn't come through, don't know why it looked like it did. Mark

HI for the last 4 weeks I've been trying to model and uv a cartoon type person in silo , which is still being worked on , but before that I was fooling around with deformers and lights and I also wanted to check out iweb a little more so I updated my page with movies 6, 7 and 8 . Not anything great , just an effort to communicate. http://web.me.com/markjohnston99me/markseiasmovies/Movie.html Mark

Hi Ross I enjoy your tests hope others will do more of this kind of quick little tests Mark

Hi Jake The sound makes it all work so much better. We all Knew that would be the case but yeah I liked the update it flows now. Mark

Hi ALL I was only one where I worked who used an apple out of 15 people and constantly fought that battle. I expect the same out come with EIAS great design will win in the end. Jason your a busy man, thanks for sharing , so we all get to enjoy the tips like the one Richard gave . Each person sharing some of what their up to , is a key to create a great EIAS community.

HI Jason , Really Great Trailer. Impressive that you did so much , so well. Hope to see more from Ya Mark

Hi Ian I assume it's cool with all . I just got it before they closed. So I've tried sending it to you. Let me know if it came out okay. and to all who get it free , enjoy. Mark

Hi JAKE Hope to see more from you, and a lot more of these other EIAS users who remain largely missing in action . We can help get this community growing, Everyone ! Didn't all our are mommies tell us if you don't have anything good to say keep your mouth shut. Mark

Hi Jake , Great work ! Thanks for getting in here and posting , rarely is better than never. Mark

Hi Frankg Thanks for sharing, it's cool to see what others are doing. Mark

Sinister I won't be able to sleep tonight

Ross, totally loved your animations, want to see more from everyone. We have a lot of users who seem to be shy about getting in here and posting so we all can get to know who does what how they use EIAS . There's a lot that sharing can do to help us all. Get out of your shells people , communication is a good thing. Mark

Really good , loved it. Mark

Cool a little splash in the face for the green guy
