I'm trying to entice you into getting started modeling not blow your mind.
You just have to push back. I'm always trying to make things about me - typical male.  @ronviers |

My mind is blown anyway.. ssshhh .. I need to focus more on projects, but I have my fingers in so many little pots that sometimes I forget other things I am doing.
But yep probably will have a go at that soon, downloaded blender the other day so will have to figure out how to use that as well. Nothing wrong with a little insanity ;)

Graphics can spread you pretty thin. I felt spread thin just from Illustrator and Photoshop. I guess you do not really need modeling since you have SL to put your textures. I want to make creatures and things so I need to learn modeling. It's a lot of fun but not for everyone. Even after modeling there will be texturing (hand painted and procedural) so it is a lot of work for someone without a strong desire to create things in that particular way. @ronviers |

hehe it's something I intend to learn but I think for now I better just work on improving what I am learning already . Creating 3d images and shapes interests me but there are a lot of stages to achieving the desired results. So am building up my skills slowly and learning as I go, so hopefully this time next year I will be creating 3d thing's like a pro .. well like someone that thinks they are a pro hehe...Nothing wrong with a little insanity ;)

That sounds like a good idea. I will continue to post the progress caps because Carl likes to look at them and ahimsa will need something to compare Carrara to when she returns.
And don't forget movement - in 3d things can move.
Hmmm, you're very optimistic but you can do it if you work really hard. @ronviers |

Cool, love seeing what other people are up too, and what you have done is well sweet. Plus far beyond me. Hope everything is okay with ahimsa.
lol I haven't but that is something else I would need to learn.
um.. hehe well put it this way I never heard of Filter forge till 4 days before the first filter I sent in, but the FF is a different hat to 3d building. I mean I 3d build in SL but it's different cause the shapes are solid to start with and you just play with them, reshape, link together etc till you get your finished creation. In someways it is similar but least it's easy to whip out the base shapes and stuff. Nothing wrong with a little insanity ;)

I do not know yet. I want to do all I am able to. I have not yet determined what my practical limitations are. I have to be realistic. I may end up dipping ice cream at the local Dairy Queen.  Oh that's right, this town doesn't have an ice cream store.  @ronviers |

Come to think of it, if I had a food related job I would want it to be at a farmers market (I don't know what you call them. It is where farmers bring food (fruit, veggies, homemade bread and such) in from the surrounding area and sell it on the sidewalk.) @ronviers |

I thought that was interesting. They have worked on a lot of movies. It's odd how a movie will use a company for just a scene or two. In The World of Tomorrow they used ILM for just a few scenes. Same with Rising Sun. I wonder how they decide which is best suited for a give scene.

I'm trying that with maya as well. So far it has been a big mistake. I still end up doing a lot of coding while not knowing how. The thing is, at least in maya, is that the coding is inevitable.
Good luck.

I'm sure you're right.
What do you mean? How could that not be a part of a graphics design package? Are you sure? If that's true, and I'm sure you're right, Adobe sure does know how to get you.
Not yet. Material assignment is later. Materials and textures are closely related. The way it works now is that the instructor is skipping around a lot - he doesn't say why. Here are how the videos occur.  @ronviers |

Wow that's pretty fancy - if you right click on any animation on a web site the last option will tell you if it is done in flash, which this one is, having not worked or own flash I don't what was done to achieve that, I wish I had flash
I've abandoned golive and gone back to Dreamweaver all because you scared me away with your talk of doom for golive, which appears to be true  [ teasing you ]

I think that will turn out to be a good decision. If it does not I will remind you that I supported your decision to return to Golive.
That's only part one! I think the second part is the inside but I'm not sure.
I have been hearing about how custom shaders are developed for particular projects, like to wet Godzilla with rain and to do the wax in 'The Bee Movie'. The videos look very valuable. Thanks! I am loading them now but it will take a while with my connection.

I think your right - golive I think is easier - but dreamweaver is the real McCoy
is there the engine, as can you animate opening and closing things, I imagine the inside will be harder with all the little detail
I think it allow putting in your own textures as well, haven't had time to study it
