I FINISHED THE MR. DTIOD MODEL!!!!! (SNAILEB & BZ WOULD BE PROUD)
JACK of No Trades | 7:44 AM on 10.25.2007 51 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.

Damn. That's looks like a real plastic toy. It might even have lead paint it's so real... O_o
JACK of No Trades's Destructoid Blog
Thanks. Solidworks has a pretty damn good rendering tool.
jdub28's Destructoid Blog
awsome
Cowzilla3's Destructoid Blog
Holy crap by the end it looks like you actually made a physical object. I am nothing but impressed.
ZeroTolo's Destructoid Blog
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.
Snaileb 's Destructoid Blog
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...
Kryptinite's Destructoid Blog
Dude that's fucking awesome!!
JACK of No Trades's Destructoid Blog
Thanks guys, Ive been doing things like this for years.
Das Inchworm's Destructoid Blog
thats dope
blehman's Destructoid Blog
I want to make that second picture into an old time radio. Very nice JACK. As they say in Firefly, very shiny.
DanielMachine's Destructoid Blog
That's actually really sweet, dude. You should be proud.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Mr. Destructoid!
Get yer haaaaands
Offa my lady now!
HarassmentPanda's Destructoid Blog
Very nice, Jack.
shipero's Destructoid Blog
Wow, that looks nice. I dabbled a bit in 3d modeling back in high school and college, but I was terrible at it.
Samit Sarkar's Destructoid Blog
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...
Hoygeit's Destructoid Blog
Very cool!
RICHARD BLOCKER's Destructoid Blog
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.
tehuberone's Destructoid Blog
prettY!

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.
balth's Destructoid Blog
Good job, JACK!
itemforty's Destructoid Blog
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.
Nubc4kes's Destructoid Blog
Very cool. I've always wanted to know have to do stuff like this, but never taken the time to figure it out...
JACK of No Trades's Destructoid Blog
Thanks again guys.

Nubc4kes

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.
king3vbo's Destructoid Blog
Tasty. I love solidworks
king3vbo's Destructoid Blog
Also, if you cant afford it and your against bittorrent, then try Rhino. Its a couple hundred and its a pretty good modeling program
MrJunko's Destructoid Blog
The blueprints for a possible Destructoid wind up doll? Youve got money in the bank there jack. Nice work man!
weedgan's Destructoid Blog
Very nice rendering, oh and the model looks good too!
nademagnet's Destructoid Blog
We need a may to produce those and sell them in the Dtoid store. I would buy two to protect my cube.
UglyDuck's Destructoid Blog
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 :)
JACK of No Trades's Destructoid Blog
Uglyphil

Yea that would have been cool. I can do those effects in 3dmax, but lighting acts different in Solidworks.
PwnDaddy's Destructoid Blog
/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.
Snaileb 's Destructoid Blog
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.
JACK of No Trades's Destructoid Blog
LOL, ok snaileb.
JACK of No Trades's Destructoid Blog
Maybe, I should modelup a Big Daddy
trydizon's Destructoid Blog
that is pure tits. ytmnd!
GENACON's Destructoid Blog
Thats really cool. A 3D Mr Dtiod.

I've almost finished my own Mr Dtiod model.

Should be done this week, I just need to get the clothes done.
JACK of No Trades's Destructoid Blog
GENACON

What software?
Professor Pew's Destructoid Blog
This is not fail. Wow!
DynamicSheep's Destructoid Blog
Congratulations on bringing that GPA up from fail Jack, this was actually worth the click...

Nice model.
BahamutZero's Destructoid Blog
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
JACK of No Trades's Destructoid Blog
BZ

Thats cool man. Pay good?
Joe Burling's Destructoid Blog
Very cool, Jack. I'm glad you are part of this community!
Spartacus's Destructoid Blog
Color me impressed.
Now go get a 3D printer.
GENACON's Destructoid Blog
@JACK of No Trades
"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.
GENACON's Destructoid Blog
Lets try that again.


Snaileb 's Destructoid Blog
Ghetto ftw GENACON.
vexed alex's Destructoid Blog
That's sick, man. Nice work.
