Looks slow.

Is this 3D work hard to learn? Or does it just involve a program.

Usually it's a lot of hard work to learn a 3D/CAD program...

The program I use is called "3D Studio Max" it's working it's way to be the top program used in visual effects work... is it hard? you decide... here's a screenshot of it

Yeah.. I used it for almost 3 years (I think? versions 6 through 9) and barely scratched the surface of what it can do. Max is incredibly intricate and very powerful. When I realized that sitting for 8+ hours a day working on a 3d model wasn't my cup o' tea, I drifted away from it... Here's the last thing I was working on before I quit (modified Warthog for Halo)

mmm. rice. When put ingame with the shaders, the body color became very close to SOM.

Damn Zex... that's pretty cool! I like the texturing you got on it...

Max 8 is the newest one out now as far as I know... i hate when they keep coming out with new versions, then you gotta relearn everything

here's an army tank I did back in the day when I took my first class in it...

I used it for a bit in computer animation class is high school. There was one guy that was wicked good with it, made an evo and some other import stuff on it that looked ******* sick! Way close to real life. Me on the other hand I stuck to flash animation and photoshop haha. I did make a fruit bowl for my final project sitting on a table in an empty room

Nice... Way better than anything I could do (never took a class). Keep up the good work, dude.

P.S. Max versions I know of since version 8:
9, 2008, 2009 (this is the most current one, I believe). We have the latest 3 versions of Max where I work, but the top-notch render guys use Vray and Max 9 on XP64 instead of the latest and greatest. Pretty funny...

did he get it from here?

www.turbosquid.com is a great resource for some 3d models already made... some are free, but the really nice ones usually cost money...

It's also a bummer to hear they are teaching this stuff in high school now... seeing as I have a 100k student loan that I get to pay off after I graduate college
