...that host of simple objects i just posted were all made while i textured/rendered this out...i'm multitasking to the max:ninja: ...

...and a lamp...

Your progress is looking absolutely amazing. It is fantastic! Can't wait to see it all together. Great job!:attn:

ah, to be able to multitask!!!

My system dies when I start to render. I only have 256meg and 32 on the gfx card.

Am waiting to upgrade to a good system, but we are buying a house in a few months so I am serverely limited right now! boo hoo!!!!

Anyways................like the models. I like the details people put in even when they are not gonna be seen too much.

Looking forward to seeing the finished products of everyones!

thanks dooster...i'm tryin' my hardest...

...ah Merlin...rendering is all proccessor intensive...and i guess a little ram intensive to have both modeler and layout open...but as for my system i need to update it as well...maybe not as much as you but mines still nowhere near top end...mines a 4 year old P4 1.5 ghz with 512 mb of ram...and a 128 mb video card i picked up for $50 two years ago...anyway...i'm glad you're liking models... they seem a lot like a waste of polygons sometimes since they're not gonna be "featured" so to speak...but i guess they need to be there to give it a sense of realism...

...oops...

..the kleenex box with stand in textures...prolly gonna work on the crumpl on the kleenex a little more...of just do it in modeler...

here's the lamp as it standes now...forgot to give it a cord or a power swtich, and looks like i need to tweak the shade a littlle...

I think you just fell on a 'tissue misconception'...lmao

If you really look at a tissue coming out of a box, it really isn't very crumpled. If it was, then the weight on the crumples would cause the tissue to drop.

A tissue that stands up well has a few good vertical waves in it, and that is where all the strength is.

I studied material science while doing my undergraduate degree, but I never thought I'd actually need it until I started lightwave, lol

yeah...you know merlin...you're definately right...i was combining both a handled tissue with the straight out of the box tissue and it definately wasn't working...so back to revising that i shall go...

here's the pen model...i'm not overly satisfied with the textures...is it me or does "transluecency" do nothing?...i tried seetings all over the place...and nothing changed from when i had it set at zero...do i have to enable it or something?...bah...minor details...here's the pen...enjoy...

okay...banged out the scorpion...and got that rigged up real quick like...now i just need to texture it...but for now here's the purty colorful rig...

...cheaply textured alarm clock...still have to do the face and buttons with a little image map i suppose...

textures...

...threw everything in real quick to start approximating render times and such...and see how full the scene was so i would know if i needed anymore props...
