VECTOR

Been furiously modelling away lately, smashing out characters recently trying to brush the dust off. Started modelling Maximus from the movie Tangled, here's the progress so far 😄 updates to come 204e7bda4fc8ca0b202fc42df51bfa05.mp4

some Dexters Laboratory fan art 😄

I don’t comment on a lot of discussions or frequent the forum much these days but I’ll throw in my 2 cents for what it’s worth. Now while I agree sending people an invoice maybe isn’t the best approach. The reality of the situation is the forum is growing, in terms of memeber numbers, features etc and with it comes increased costs. Google Ads are all but gone, so there’s no revenue coming from that to help support the core running costs, and honestly I don’t think it’s fair or realistic for Igor to brunt all the costs from his own pocket along with the small number of contributors to keep this all going. He’s clearly not keeping this going for profit making purposes…but to give people a place to come to, to ask questions, gather knowledge, share art, and literally have access to some of the most knowledgeable C4D users out there. When you look at the wealth of resources this community offers, Asking 10 euros a YEAR to help maintain it is a very small ask, 10 euros a month would easily be justifiable in my opinion. 10 euros is roughly £ 8.50 in the UK, I’ve just spent £10 today on lunch…we’d all love for this to stay free. I’d also love to walk down to the end of my garden and pull money off the tree instead of having to work for it, but we need to be realistic. Without turning this into a Maxon slagging match, the reality is, this is the biggest forum on the internet providing help, support, technical knowledge, hell essentially free advertising for Cinema 4D and the fact they pulled funding is a massive slap in the face. Even more so because I know that Igor has put this off for as long as possible, and is not a decision he would have taken lightly. The alternative being that we potentially lose the core, which would in my opinion be a massive loss to the C4D community as a whole. I’ve been a member for 8 years, since Nigel owned it, then Hrvoje now Igor. I’ve been a moderator before in the past and know first hand all the blood sweat and tears that have gone into keeping this place going updating it, adding new features and so on. It would be a damn shame for all that to be in vein if the core disappears. If Maxon won’t help then it’s down to the members to keep our community going. V

I’m hungry now! I could go for a grilled cheese 😄 !!

True, although whilst they still have the likes of favreau and filoni involved in star wars projects there is a glimmer of hope.

Oh boy! The cinematics from the knights of the old republic from 10 years ago make the last few star wars films look even more mediocre than they already are. I’d pay some good hard cash to watch a full cg old republic movie from those studios. * drools with excitement * instead of crap like the last jedi and the rise of skywalker. Fingers crossed for obi at the end of the month 😄

yea that was a good one! Also really liked sonny’s edge and when the yogurt took over 😅

Just watched this on YouTube. Looking forward to it, I was a bit bummed s02 was so short compared to the first, but I’m excited for this regardless 😄

Hmm saw the trailer before doctor strange. Just not excited about this movie. More hyped for love death and robots vol 3 😄

My take on an icon 😄 fun little project over the weekend

lighting and material tests. new characters on the way 😄

Cool looking little guy there. I’ve been looking at getting a 3d printer for a while to make some little toys 😄

Couldn't play around much past the approved design of the original so here's a modified version with the proportions i'd of liked 😄

slapped some fresh materials on frank 😄

I’m looking at it from more of a work stand point than leisure, as most if not all big production houses/game studios use maya/max and or zbrush in some combination.

Looks good, Been looking in to learning maya my self, I wonder if the learning curve is as harsh as it’s reputation would have you believe, I suppose the skills are all ready there, just a matter of learning to spread butter on your toast with a spoon instead of a knife, principle is the same just the tool is different.
