How long have you been modeling? Are you planning an animation when you are finished adding the finishing touches? Just curious (as I'm currently a bit frusterated at the bottom of the learning curve). :confused:

You have your own petrol can with your own purple cabbage logo on it! Hmm, your choice of merchandise to have your logo on is a bit strange, but it beats the heck out of mouse mats, mugs and t-shirts!
That looks like one mighty big building that she's going to torch as well. Oh the humanity!

Hi,

@ Leroy:

If U meen how long have I been modeling in general, well, I bought Lightwave on the 26th December 2003.

I realy started to learn to model about the middle of last summer, when I started to chat with buddies online.

I have a very short animation planned. Goint to try using Lightwave and also Motion Builder, to laern Animation in both packages.

@ Fallenswordsman:

Hey, any publicity is good publicity, hehe.

Yep, could be a good Building Torching comming up, hahahahah.

Evil child! Evil Evil child! Although her hobby of torching cars reminds me of the kids around my area.

It's perfectly OK and acceptable as long as it isn't my car that's being torched :)

Hi,

Have spent the whole day doing test render after test render.

Now I have finaly come to the conclusion that this project is too big for 1 man and 1 PC, sooooooooo.....

I have decided to scale down the project, as I don't want to spend too much time on 1 thing.

I have ideas for some simple little animnations and stills that shall be much more manageable and more suited to my time frame.

Here is an image that I put together today:

That's too bad. :( It was really coming together, I was looking forward to seeing where it was going. Those render times do cause one to pause and reconsider projects. Just out of curiosity, what kind of system are you running, and what were your rendering times coming in at?

Hi leroy3rd,

Thankyou for Ur interest and encouragement. I may still get this finished yet. I was feeling particularly tired when I typed that, hehe.

I'll just take it day by day and see where it goes. :)

Made a little Truck for the Little Angel, hehe:

that is frighteningly cool... she could use a bit of movement though. nothing big, maybe blinking eyelids or something? right now she just seems a bit too much like a gargoyle.
