Plant Studio!

*I should preface this blog entry by saying that I'm not including pictures from the website because I don't want to infringe on their copyrighted material

Plant Studio is another 3D program that is specifically for creating plants. Here is a sample picture that I made today using this program. You can download this program for creating plants by clicking here.

The program comes with a sampling of plants already made but what is fun is that you can create plants from scratch. There are a series of questions the program will ask you about how you want your plant to look and then it will generate a plant for you. You can work with this plant or you can "breed" it and that will give you a lot of different versions of the plant and you can decide on which one you would like to work on.

After you finish constructing your plant you can then export it as a .dxf file and load it into your other 3D programs.

People have been creating a lot of interesting-looking plants with this program. But it's not just limited to plants. Shrubs, grasses and other-like objects have been created using this program too.

So have fun with it!

A Free Objects Conversion Program To Download!

As you can probably tell from this blog I am a great fan of 3d!

I have several 3d programs that I have found online that do a whole as far as creating 3d graphics are concerned. However I did face a problem recently because I wanted to put one 3d model into another 3d program but I couldn't because the 2nd 3d program wouldn't except the .dxf format. I needed to convert my .dxf model to an .obj model.

There is a model conversion program that lets me do just that! It's called Crossroads and you can find out more information about this program by clicking here.

I tried out the program yesterday and it works just great!

Now I have to get to work on creating some stunning 3d artwork!

ShareCG is a site that will let you upload your own-created 3d objects so that you can share them with the world and let others be able to download your 3d objects! It doesn't cost you anything to sign up plus you get paid according to the number of times your 3d object page is viewed. You have to have a Paypal account in order to get paid

Daz Studio 1.7

One of the conditions of downloading this free 3d program is that I tell at least 2 people about it!

Daz Studio is a 3d program. I found it when I was looking for Poser! Apparently you can make some very good 3d renders with this program. It's so big that I haven't had a chance to play with it yet.

You can download this program for free by clicking here

BUT BE FOREWARNED THAT YOU HAVE TO REGISTER WITH THE DAZ 3D SITE IN ORDER TO GET THE REGISTRATION CODE

I love creating 3d models but I haven't had much time for it because I have been working. I have been intriguied by 3d modeling ever since I got my first Bryce program and the original Poser program.

3D graphics are realistic looking models of everyday objects. You can also create human objects and humanoid objects as well.

I have a long way to go but I have gotten to the point where I know that it will take a lot of time and patience to create 3d models.

Ultimately I would like to design human characters, hair and clothing for my 3d models.

Here is a picture that I made kind of fast using the program. I can see me spending a LOT of time playing around with this program.

VUE - Personal Limited Edition

If you're into 3D graphics then this program is a definite MUST! But first let me warn you that this 3D graphics program is over 300 MB in size! It took me all night to download it and it took about 45 minutes to install! So make sure that you have enough hard drive space before you download this program!

Here is the link to download the program:

Download the VUE - Personal Limited Edition

I repeat - this is a very powerful (and very big) 3D graphics program! After I went through the torture of finally installing it and opening the program I realized just how big it is!

One of the best things about this free download is that the program is so powerful! Here is what the website says about this edition of this 3D program:

The Personal Learning Edition (PLE) is a fully functional version of Vue 6 Infinite/xStream (selection of Infinite or xStream is done during installation). With the PLE, you can:

• Create complete projects, save your work and export to other applications,
  

• Render stills and animations without size/length limit,
  

• Experience Vue’s power directly inside Max/Maya/LightWave/Cinema4D (XSI coming soon)
  

• Learn at your own pace (the PLE never expires)!

The PLE is for personal, non-commercial use only, files cannot be exchanged with other PLE users and are not compatible with other versions of Vue, renders may be watermarked and carry a logo.

I tried to make a "fast" picture so that I could show you what you can do with the program but its just too much for me to grasp since I just got it so here is a picture from one of their galleries:

Renderosity.com

If you're into 3D graphics then Renderosity.com is just the place for you!

Personally I love 3D graphics but I haven't had much time to work with them. I have a couple of 3D programs like Bryce (which I was able to get via a free legitimate download, Terragen which is also a free 3D graphics program that helps you to create scenic terrains and I have Wings3D which I haven't figured out how to work with yet. I would LOVE to have a copy of Poser! Poser is a 3D program that helps you to create human looking figures - but Poser costs a lot - but it's definitely worth it when I do have the money to purchase it.

But getting back to Renderosity.com its a great place for 3D artists and wannabe 3D artists. You do have to register and join before you can post to the forums but it is free to register. Once you register you will be privy to a welath of information concerning 3D art and artists. However 2D artists participate as well. They have message forums for software programs, 3d artists, writers and a whole lot more!

What I especially love about this site is the number of free 3D models that you can download and I will admit to downloading some of them myself! There are some great 3d models that you can download for free!

They also have contests and challenges. They also have an artists' gallery where you can showcase your work. You can sell your 3d-related work on Renderosity as well!

Renderosity.com is a great place for 3d artists and for people like me - 3d wannabe artists.
