This is a quote by UltimaFire. I apparently don't know how to use the forums yet, so bear with my Newbage (is that an acceptable use of the word newb? Should newb be capitalized? Why can't I find newb in a Webster dictionary?)
"That is an excellent model. I myself am only getting into 3D modeling as part of a course, so i can safely look up to this image. I'm using max at the moment. What program did you use for that?
Good stuff in anyways. Maybe for next Novembers one i can have a model this good to submit. For now I'll photoshop. Soon...."
I too use the Max. I love the program (probably because I learned it before using Maya with any depth). A few things to consider: A model is never done until it's textured (and lit if it's not for a game engine). You should probably spend about as much time texturing something as you spend modeling it (which I didn't do in this case, and I rarely do in other cases because I'm lazy and don't have a Wacom tablet). Your modeling skills will rarely, if ever, surpass your drawing skills, so draw no less than a tenth of the time you model, and that's bare minimum. Keep going for your dreams though, even if you're unemployed for a long LONG time post graduation. You will never be happy with the job that you SETTLE for, especially if you think you had a chance to hit it big.
That said, there are some great pieces of work here, Kudos to all who had the guts to put your (He)art (and soul) online to share with the community. I'm excited to see who Bungie picks to be the best of the month (Yesterday was my birthday, so they have to pick me for one, right?)
