I love this!! Adore the lighting and the sky. Would you mind if a invited this to my group? We have a separate slot for just Whirlwind art. I tried to make a 3d Whirlwind and it failed. What program did you use for this??

Thank you very much! I would be honored to have this in your group~

I make all my 3D art with a program called Autodesk 3DS Max Design.

O__O Wow. All I have is Sculptris XD It works fine but I can't get small details like feathers and accurate body shape without making too many trangles and it starts going REALLY slow and before you know it, doesn't work at all

CeilingSapph In reply to A7XSparx [2013-08-09 22:00:03 +0000 UTC]

Oh wait sorry. The wing feathers aren't part of the texture. I tried to make them with as few polygons as possible, so that they wouldn't slow down my computer too much.

CeilingSapph In reply to A7XSparx [2013-08-09 21:55:37 +0000 UTC]

The feathers on my Whirlwind model are actually just a texture. If you look at the model without them, she's almost entirely smooth. I've never worked with Sculptris, but if you can use textures on it, that's usually the way to go for things like feathers, fur and scales.


If you're into 3D designing, I'd definitely recommend checking out some of Autodesk's programs. Last I checked, they offer free trials, which is a good way to get the feel of the software and see if you like it.

like you can't download the program's free trial?
or you did download it and are having difficulty?
if the latter, you should know that it takes months to get any good at this. and even then, a good drawing in 3D can take hours and hours.

CeilingSapph In reply to Shuu-the-Shoe [2013-01-12 17:46:51 +0000 UTC]

lol yeah ^^
not really a pain... it just takes a long time
I think I put about 10 or so hours into the model for this one
And it usually takes about an hour for making each new render
Since I have to find a nice background
and then fix the lighting and position everything

Shuu-the-Shoe In reply to CeilingSapph [2013-01-12 17:51:43 +0000 UTC]

can you do other things while its rendering or does it slow everything down so you can't?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

CeilingSapph In reply to Shuu-the-Shoe [2013-01-12 17:55:55 +0000 UTC]

not usually.
like, the actual rendering can take anywhere from 5sec to several hours depending on the number of polygons in the picture. (this one takes about three minutes)
I say each render takes an hour for this model because of all the other stuff that needs to be done, like finding a good bg, fixing the lighting, rendering, seeing that the render isnt good, and then fixing the lighting again, and then rendering again ect.
