hey, thought I’d post this… my first attempt at animating in 3D studio max. Yeah, it’s only 1 second long and not much, but like I said… it’s my first attempt lol. I wish it were like animating in traditional 3D CAD programs (using constraints and all that good stuff) but so far, I havent figured that much out yet. Shit, just modeling took some getting used to (and still learning). reguardless… I used a clay material with a Vray lighting system. I’ll be doing more as I get better. Total Rendering took approx 1 hour. enjoy 🙂 [http://media.putfile.com/simple-3ds-animation](http://media.putfile.com/simple-3ds-animation) ---

werd… 3d modling is fun as hell but soooo time consuming, when i used to work at UB i got into using Alias|Wavefront Maya and spent the entire summer making a model of the Center for the Arts Building, once i finally finished it and went to render it, the timer read out 99999:99 hours (maxed out). Ended up having to grab a shitload of spare computers and setting them up network render, it still took over a full 24 hours for a 2 minute “tour” through the building 😛 ---

thanks matt :tup: > [@The\_Russian](#): > > My sister used Maya at RIT she majored in Computer animation and works in the studio where Jimmy Neutron was made oh really? no shit… honestly, before I got into mechanical design, thats what I really wanted to do as a career. I still want to go back to school for it… but it looks doubtful these days. Working 40-50 hours a week owns anytime I’d have for school :tdown: ☹ ---

preliminary I need to touch some edge up a little. I dont like how the NY looks… font needs to be thinner. Below the arrow needs some work too once I get that all fixed up I’ll add some materials/shaders 🙂 :tup: ---

looking good. 3dSmax has been tough to pick up. Try Bryce, i’ve found it a bit easier. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/very-basic-animation/7516.md?page=2)
