All of a sudden I got a life

So, yeah, been a while since I’ve posted anything here. Not that anybody reads this, but I was here, so I figured, what the hell.

Anyway, I’ve been really busy with stuff, so I simply haven’t had time to post stuff here or even make things in 3d and everything. Ah well.

Merry Christmas!

To everybody who reads this!

I’m looking at you yeah ;)

Drawings!!!

Well, I decided to finally do something with my tablet (see previous post) and this is what I ended up: 
 

 
 

It’s based on this tutorial. 
 

Now, when you’re all done laughing… this is what I made afterwards. Which I think looks a bit better. I especially like the way the sun looks: 
 

 
 

Well, that was all.

Got a Wacom!!!

As of this morning I am the proud owner of a Wacom tablet. It’s small, but useful :D  
 

 
 

I also made a small animation in Flash to test it: 
 

Cell shaded robot

This is another animation with the robot.  
 

I know the animation isn’t completely smooth, but this was mainly a test to see how it looks cell shaded. 
 

And I think it looks pretty neat. 
 

Update!

Yeah, I know, that’s a very original title for a new post, but hey, it sums up the entire post. Anyway, coming up are some new 3d renders (well, by the time you look at this they’ll be old, since I made them a while ago but didn’t upload them then) and some pictures I made with Vue, which I’ve got since a while ago. 
 

First up, here’s a scene with two of the robots I’ve created. It still needs some work, like the textures on the tree, but I saw that it was like that after it rendered, and it takes a long time to render it, so I’ll change that when I’ve got the time to let my computer sweat it out.

Woohoo! Texturing!

Or something like it. Anyway, me and a friend of mine always say that stuff looks better with VRay, so I decided to give that a try. You all know the robot by know, but here it is in VRay!!! 
 

 
 

And here he’s holding a mini Gattling handcannon thingy. Kinda hard to see with the black background, but trust me, it’s there. 
 

 
 

More stuffs!

Yeah, so I made some more stuff since I’ve apparently got enough time for it. Anyway, here it is:

My own sunglasses. Well, sort of. I’m planning on adding my cellphone, my watch and the Metallica dogtags I’m always wearing. 
 

 
And here’s another animation with that robot. I figured out how to use IK bones in Max. Not that it was that hard, I just never thought about using them before. They make animating stuff a lot easier.

Robot

Yesterday I had some sort of robot in my head, so I started modelling. Ofcourse I drew a picture first, but I kinda suck at making reference pictures of robots, so I’m not going to show it. Anyway, after about an hour’s work I had this:  
 

 
 

Then I threw some buildings in (which I didn’t make myself though, I got them from a website), rigged the robot, slammed some textures on it and gave it a nice pose. 
 

 
 

And today after about an hour or so work, I made this animation: 
 

VRay

Ok, since yesterday I discoverd how to utilize VRay. So I’ve been doing some tests with it. For now I just re-rendered some stuff I already make, but I’m planning on creating something special. It’ll be done within the next year or so ;)
