Description After seeing (and loving) the Mario Love deviations by smashmethod,
I decided to make my own koopa shell model.
I'm very proud of it, it's quite mariorealistic!

To smashmethod : consider this as a fanart, not a copyright violation!

you are intriguing me...
why would it be less cool using 3ds max?
What's wrong with 3ds max? I like it! (more than maya anyways)

hm? i didnt mean anything with my comment, I was thinking of a freeware program like blender or something. I usually never see max renders that bright, or thas just my opinion, I use max every now and then too when im at my buddies house, though I usually only use light tracer, but every now and then shallac and architectual materials mixed with a mental ray render is sort of fun as well. I've never used maya before so I wouldnt know how that program works, i mean i have the trial version but i have no idea how it works. I use cinema 4D,

oh and you asked whats wrong with 3DS max?
its too expensive, thats what, and it requires a lot of resources to run, that is why it wont run on my computer, and the other reason that I dont like it is because its Windows only, with some ports to linux. Not that I am a focused Macintosh user, but every now and then I do use one for certain reasons that are personal.

so why did you get offended and all defensive for?

don't worry, I didn't get offended!
I was just curious of your reaction, I have few knoledge of 3D softwares (I use them since maybe 5 months) and I just wanted to know if 3ds max has a bad reputation.

I like 3ds max because of it's ease of use, easy per-vertex modeling and numerous modifier. Also, from what I know of it, it is very good for video game graphics, and I think cinema4D is more an artistic real-scene modeling tool.

Oh and I prefer 3ds max to maya because maya can only export to "maya binaries" and FBX files, I'm currently working with .3DS files.

Anyway, I do not understimate cinema4D, I have seen very cool graphics made with it (including some from you!). I just think it is not the best choice for game-oriented modeling

well if its just game model, any program really, if its UV mapping, you gotta get 3DS Max, if its character rigging, its Maya, there are plugins for maya that will enable you to import other file formats, they did it this way to try to make more money. Hey could you um render out one of my cars? My buddy has max and we both suck at using it, I mean we managed to slap it in there and do some caly renders, but that was about it. you think you could do some renders of my skyline r34? If you agree just send me a note with your email address and telling me that i asked you to render it out for me, because i know i'll forget, also i'll give it to you in .wrl, though I'll only give you the car, because the tries will make the file size radically huge. ok then later. um the tires are easy to make so im sure you can make your own or follow the tutorial from 3Dnuts.com. later.
