my first 3d rendering in photoshop cs5
Re: my first 3d rendering in photoshop cs5
Just to underscore what the dog said - Maya was used to create Shrek.
Not stuff for the feint of heart (or toe-dippers)... is also extremely costly.
On that point... do you even get able freeware/open source software, if you want to design decent images with competing features?

blender. without hesitation... .the gui is cluttered like a crackhead's brain but it is as feature rich as any pay-for on the market...Sojourn wrote:do you even get able freeware/open source software
the other one which was eluding me is amorphium - which was accessible even to the complete newblet, but it appears to have "morphed" into EIAS..

I took the plunge and got Blender... whoa.
Look, I can photoshop stuff in an amateurish way that will pass scrutiny after a beer or two, but I was unable to find basic editing tools in that software. Tried opening an existing jpg but it moaned at me wanting the blender format?
I'll just stick to photoshop

blender!=photoshop... blender==3d modeling and animation studio.... the only way in which it opens jpegs is as a texture...

You should put a frog in a blender. That's something that even Photoshop cannot quite realistically mimic.

Mayhaps I should read up on the ingredients before baking frogs after trying to blend them.

Nice man, i know what you mean about the insane amount of time the rendering takes... i played around with some renders on Illustrator, after going all night i just gave up and abandoned itreyals wrote:@ madmind, I've been busy with it on and off for about 3 weeks, some of the days my pc just stood there without being touched for whole days at a time while it rendered.
ps takes damn long to render, and its modelling is fairly limited, but it was fun to see how far it can be pushed. its easier to use than most 3d packages though.

yip, thus the "exercise in futility"
but I reckoned I'll stick through it. another sucky thing is that if you click in the viewport, it cancels rendering, thus for those days it rendered, I unplugged my keyboard and mouse(learnt that after my cat cancelled a 4 hour render )
cool thing is that it gave me the courage to take on 3ds max, a lot more complicated, but a wealth of possibility.

Re: my first 3d rendering in photoshop cs5
I must be honest, 3D is quite scary.. i'm just getting to grips with 2D, but i'll keep at it and see how it goes. I watched a clip at "indesigner.com" about the new Indesign CS5, is there any 3d capability in there yet?
I've seen some 3Ds Max work, impressive to say the least

indesign doesn't have 3d. it does however tie in nicely with flash catalyst and you can create websites directly from your print design work.
as far as scary things go, there only one method of learning and that is by doing.
i became a bit of a hermit since i got cs5, but its worth it. you should check out flash cs5 as well, its also a program that seemed scary, but cs5 actually made it very intuitive.
my hat is truly and completely off to adobe for the new creative suite.
