Let me just make a guess... they will want you to pay.

Oh well, I bet it's not that easy to write checkout software all on your own. It has to be worth something.

I never really gone just caught up in life

Dreamweaver is the business standard so to speak - golive is going to be discontinued - without being anywhere near an expert I'd say alot of programs do an adequate job to set up a simple site but if you want the full monty Dreamweaver + Flash [ Flash is on my wishlist ] is the way to go - I have Dreamweaver and golive and golive is easier to learn especially if your familiar with ps and illustrator - I have found for this fuzzy old brain teaching myself web design a frustrating experience [ first used a computer two years ago ] while ps etc were relatively intuitive

i like that last piece you rendered, bel. very cool

Will do, was having issues last night getting it to render right, so rendering it now. Must keep an eye on the count down cause need to stop it at 500 to add lighting.

it's not that I think my computer needed rebooting last night cause it was taking longer and longer to render anything, not sure what resolution its at though.. haven't found that info in the settings but its 2800x2100 in size, and that's the requested size for the course. Smaller images take a lot less time.

no clue cause we have to then open the render in photo shop or paint shop and resize it to 640x480, so we can post it in the class room forum , maybe it renders better at that size or something? Or its a test to see if we follow instructions?

nope, why whats the difference? part from a space?

aaah.. okay Ron..

Didn't like the way the light was on the last render so set it away again, and now am thinking this is taking to long

nah is just I want to go do something else so you know sod's law, things feel like they are taking far longer than they should . Okay and Doh! I didn't change the lighting correctly with the other shape! But here's one, I might do the other one again after I have lunch and decide which I like the most, might post both here and get you guys to pick

ronviers wrote: How come you always use white? Is it a requirement for the class?

At the moment yes, have to use the default setting for lighting.

That's okay, so long as I get it posted on the class forum by Friday it's fine .

Depending how I feel later I'll do one in colour too , mind there's loads of colour presets, metal, ice colours etc.

You're doing great!

Well, here it is. I told you it was stupid looking – I'm not the one that designed it. The head is a little lumpy but there are no seams, no intersurface penetration, and no unnecessary isoparms. I could make it perfect but I would not learn enough to justify the time. Time to move on.
This model looks much simpler than the Lamborghini, and it is, but it uses a different type of modeling called nurbs patch modeling. This type of modeling is not difficult but there are a lot of rules with a lot of things that can go wrong.
Now for the spider. The spider uses another type of modeling called subdivision surfaces. I look forward to learning what that is all about.

Wow! Yours looks a million times better than mine I can tell you that.

Just imagine if you animated them for a few hundred frames.

How long did that one take?

ronviers wrote: How long did that one take?

probably about 5 mins to make and one and a half to render

Beliria wrote: one and a half to render

Only one and a half minutes to render! And your whining about that? That doesn't seem like all that long.

last one with colour (cant send this one in though cause its um coloured, and against the week2 request of what to do )

i like the second one best.
