3D Graphics by LavaLeaker January 3, 2015 at 5:01 AM UTC
I'm not sure how many of you on here are 3D artists, or wish to learn how to do that kind of thing but here's the thread to share your works and talk about 3D in general!I personally use Blender and have been doing it for around 2 1/2 years on and off now. Here are a couple of my renders
If enough people are interested I'll write a post explaining how to get started as well.

That looks amazing man!How long does it take you to create one image?

Of course then you can start doing more hyper realistic stuff where a single scene can take months of work from modeling to lighting to material creation (that's the real kicker) to very long render times.

Nice work LavaLeaker, these look great! I'm interested in web design however I never really looked into this sort of work. Seems really cool though!hasl January 3, 2015 at 10:01 AM UTC

They are excellent! My personal favourite animating program is Cinema4D.LavaLeaker January 4, 2015 at 9:01 PM UTC
Teach me how please!
http://www.blender.org/ go there and download blender, it's the only free 3D software worth worrying about.
Bookmark this http://texturemate.com/ and this http://www.cgtextures.com/ you'll need them in the future for textures.
Go here to learn the basics https://www.youtube.com/user/cgboorman
Once you have the basics down good come here to start learning about some more advanced concepts http://www.blenderguru.com/tutorials/ and here if you have some money to spend come here as well http://cgcookie.com/blender
Make sure to watch these two videos right after you finish the beginner series as they will greatly assist you in understanding how everything works and what looks good. http://www.blenderguru.com/tutorials/understanding-colors/#.VKmoNCvF98E
http://www.blenderguru.com/tutorials/understanding-composition/#.VKmoMSvF98E
And of course if you ever need a blender community to talk to or just to see other people's work come here http://blenderartists.org/forum/
It'll be hard at first but don't give up and good luck!

duuuude, thanks for making this thread, i thought it was totally awesome and downloaded blender recently. i got one render down. it's not great, of course, and it could use some more detail but here it is:
i'm pretty proud of it seeing as i started yesterday night and have only worked with blender for around 4 or 5 hours. it is pretty hard right now but hopefully i'll get better.
if i had worked on this longer, i could have done more detailing on the bottles and added some foam to the stream of soda, maybe added a bit of extra soda in the bottoms, and possibly some other extra stuff, but after working on it for a while i got bored with the image. also the render time was very long already at 1920x1080
thanks again for the help!

Those look awesome! I have had Blender for a while now but I don't really know how to use it. I'll try what you said in that response though. I'm sort of just interested in making renders with minecraft characters and stuff like that. Do you have any tips or links I could use for those sort of renders? Thanks in advance!Ray_Sybrandy January 25, 2015 at 3:01 AM UTC
