RenderMan and Painter

[Gary David Bouton]

I did the flying pencils in MacroModel and the can in Fractal Design Painter. The background is just a filtetred texture.

This is RenderMan? How do you get the shaders out of either app into RM? Or do you write them yourself?

I'm always curious about RM, because of its' widespread use. Let us in on a little of that knowledge, Gary!

Hi Gary... terrific render as per usual

Maya is great at many things but for box modeling Wings3D is better... and this is not only my opinion... many a Maya fanatic, as well many using other apps now utilize the powerfull boxmodeling tools in Wings3D eh...


do most modeling in Wings then import to Maya...

Note... C4D v8.2 will bring about many new features that are now found in Wings eh, and who knows, maybe the next version of Maya will bring about the same, but... for now, and for learning the craft I would really and truly look no further than Wings3d... it ain't no little toy to dismiss lightly eh, I found that when I tried C4D I was in over my head at first, then I went the Wings3D route and now I feel pretty confident with most any app which sports the right tools for the job eh... just a friendly suggestion is all...

Thanks, Stu... I think I have a "style" in E3D and MacroModel...

Brett--

Yeah, I took the plunge. Actually, I traded in a Town & Country for a Mercury Sable and had some bucks left over. (We're talking about trading a car for software here! )

Here's the last in a trio of MacroModel RenderMan renders called "Magic Hat". BTW, I used a caning shader for the bottom of the chair, and the mannequin is hand-built...no Poser. I have to use Windows 3.1 to use MacroModel 'cause it won't work in a 32 bit system. That's why Maya is at the top of my list. How hard can it be to learn? I only really know how to use E3D, so my head isn't full of applications yet!

My Best,
Gare

Cool man! I have the Painter version that came packed in a paint can and also Fractal Design Sketcher, it was packaged in a cigar box. Haven't used em in a while.
