I FINISHED THE MR. DTIOD MODEL!!!!! (SNAILEB & BZ WOULD BE PROUD)
JACK of No Trades | 7:44 AM on 10.25.2007 54 comments


I wanted to finish it last night. I used Solidworks to model, render and texture Mr. Dtoid. I wanted to use 3D Max, but I thought this would get the job done.

I want to see what you can do BZ! We should start a weekly modeling competition. I think it would be fun and it would help stimulate the blogs. Tell me what you all think!

















I will repost this when the afternoon crew get here.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Damn. That's looks like a real plastic toy. It might even have lead paint it's so real... O_o

Thanks. Solidworks has a pretty damn good rendering tool.

Holy crap by the end it looks like you actually made a physical object. I am nothing but impressed.

If only we had matter creators (not sure if that's the right word but it gets the image across). I'd punch that bad boy up and get a real one for sure.

They have 3D printers that can do that. I saw it once a Cad convention.

I had a 3D printer in my school and we made all sorts of awesomeness, like an action figure with ball bearing for joints so he could swivle and he had this axe you could put in his hand.. it was cereally cool.

I wish I still had access to it to model a Mr. dtoid figure.. it would be sex.

JACK this looks really good!! You obviously know your shit when it comes to these 3d programs and all that jazz. It makes me think I should get out of the CAD business and get back into SolidWorks.

Anyone and their little sister can be a CAD operator now...

Wow, that looks nice. I dabbled a bit in 3d modeling back in high school and college, but I was terrible at it.

Wow, I’m very impressed. I remember using Maya for 3D modeling during my freshman year, but I only used it for one semester and I completely forgot how it works immediately after the semester ended. Perhaps I should re-learn it, though...

I have a copy of Revit here just collecting dust on my desk. I wonder if that program can do a model as good as Solid Works. Jack, you may have inspired me to crack it open and give it a try.

Give it a shot! Like I stated above, it would bee cool to start a weekly design competition. Autocad, Blender, Solidworks...ect can be used. It would be fun.

That's pretty solid stuff there. I've never really done much work with anything outside of zbrush, which I still really can't use perfectly yet. That last shot is pretty much fantastic.

Thanks again guys.

Go pick up Blender. Its a free animation & modeling software available for download.

Solidworks is a $4000 software. The only reason why I have access to it is because I ripped it from college. I did the same with 3DMAX6.

Try Blender. The also have free tutorials online for it. Just take the time and you will get better.

Also, if you cant afford it and your against bittorrent, then try Rhino. Its a couple hundred and its a pretty good modeling program

We need a may to produce those and sell them in the Dtoid store. I would buy two to protect my cube.

You should use rampshaders for the material. You'll get that yellow sheen effect you see on the banner. Also, you'll probably want to mess with the lighting; add a cyan light in the background and instead of making the robot green, make him silver and just use a green light... mess with things until you get the right effect.

Still particularly SW33T though :)

Yea that would have been cool. I can do those effects in 3dmax, but lighting acts different in Solidworks.

/sigh

I haven't used 3d Studio Max since I was in high school when I made CS maps, and CAD's rendering software is ok.....so long as you can afford the 4 grand program and 4 grand computer to run it. I'll get on this free program ala Blender, might be fun.

Hint : You your 3d skills to replace crappy MS paint banner.

No offense. Cereally get a new banner, squirrel nuts have been on the net since raptor jesus.

Should be done this week, I just need to get the clothes done.

dude I just started working for a sculptor that does 3d lithography. He uses solidworks too

that means prototyping and plastic figurines when he's not looking. expect smoking robots soon

I'd also agree about blender, I actually learned 3D in blender and it only took me about a week to get the hang of maya.

Another suggestion, like king3vbo said, is rhino. Rhino is for modeling only (no animation lighting or rendering) but if you get a student discount at academic superstore, it's less than $200 for an $800 program

"What Software?"

No software.

I'm building an actual model.

Remember this guy (I don't think you were around back then) i built?



Well i'm trying something different this time.
