Good Plant Material
Message #194799
Do you know the number to Silicon Graphics?
Stephen, 'Been there, done that' with the "x" trees. The problem lies with trying to find a soft, realistic look. I've even bought Gallery Effects for Photoshop to apply different techniques like watercolor and charcoal to the finished renderings- to no avail. All the criticisms come form comparing my hand…
Martin, Thanks for the names- we will try to apply some of your techniques that you discussed. Greatly appreciated, Nick
#Good plant material
Message #193350
I am looking for any good looking (not corny) vegetation to be used for exterior renderings. Shreiber Nursery does not impress me (I own it) and so I am searching for new ways to create realistic scenes. This may be in the form of .3ds files, but more than likely…
Harold, Here's what I do… I find a catalog, say J Crew, Brooks Brothers, or Saks, and cut out the images I feel would be appropriate to the scene. Use an "exacto" knive and just cut the image itself. Then spray mount several of these images to an all white…
Alan, Outstanding! I'm kicking myself for not thinkin' of that. Thanks again! -Nick
#3ds artist needed
Message #167106
To Mark: I have a bachelor's degree of Landscape Architecture from the University of Arizona and I am presently an architectural illustrator, computer illustrator and animator for an architectural firm here in Phoenix, Arizona. I am extreeemly fast and good at what I do and I would like to know…
#object/attach?
Message #167104
Is there any easier way to attach objects to one another other than the "H" hot key. Am I missing something because it would surely be useful after a serious array command!?!?! Thanks, Nick Hower Phoenix, Arizona
Paul: We usually submit 4 perspectives for that price. Each additional perspective is @$50 bucks. We use a Fargo Primera Dye-Sublimation printer (@$1,200). Please mail back if you want any more information because we can get the number for you and we will get a deal off our next product…
Hey Paul, We are providing the same service you described here in Phoenix, AZ. We are still trying to find our niche (interior designers, landscape architects, architects, or home builders?). Anyway, we break our fees down as follows: 1. low detail, 2. medium detail, 3. high detail, with @$700, @$1100,…
To J. D. We had one of these "nests" around a year ago , but as opposed to you, are still finding it difficult to laugh at it! Ours was being imported from ACAD12 and it turned out to be a spiral staircase mesh which was causing the rats to…
To Zac: It it necessary to reside in San Fran to be involved on this particular project or is a long distance (under five visits) realationship from Phoenix possible? Nick Hower Blanchard Hower Associates
James, In response to your inquiry: We know from our design/architectual backgrounds that all people (with certain exceptions) in a perspective scene will have their heads or eyes at roughly the 5'6" imaginary horizontal line. If some people are scaled up or down, their heads must still remain at that…
Jonas, I'm not sure how to retrieve or even get to this .txt file. Could you pretty please tell me how to do this. Thank you, and sorry for my ignorance. Nick Hower
#Active People?
Message #111876
Hello. We (Blanchard Hower Associates) are creating an interior room for a client who wants to show the space as being very busy and active. To accomplish this we are creating the room in 3D Studio, and then pasting 2-Dimensional images of people onto this image in Adobe Photoshop. Problem:…
Thanks Tom, I'm gonna check out the demos on the CDs. Nick
Tom, This has absolutly no relationship to H2O, but you seem very wise to 3ds3 and it's components so I thought that you might be able to help me on this one: We're looking for a software system to help with topography/grading. We figure quiksurf is the best one (but…
I have not yet heard of an IPAS routine which would accomplish what you're looking to do, but I'll keep my eyes open. I think we just used that 2-sided "jellow like" material and ,with the 3-d scale tool, filled in the container. It did not matter if it protruded…
Hey Tom, I'm kind of jumping in on this without really knowing the previous conversations- but I have used a dark blue, 2-sided, semi-transparent, glass material created in the mat.-editor to achieve the "water in the swimming pool" effect. I'm sure you've already looked into this, but if its any…
Thomas and all concerned: It appears as though I have a lot to learn with these message forums and I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for the slapping/advise and I guarantee I will be more attentive to the Compuserve mannerisms. But before I mess up again, where can I find…
WELL IT'S OBVIOUSLY A LITTLE MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT YOU CAN FIND TO DO ALL DAY LONG!!!- 'NUF SAID. -N
THANKS – I'M GONNA TRY BOTH OPTIONS. BUT TO GET THE LOOK WER'E TRYING TO ACHIEVE, IT'S GOING TO BE PRETTY LABOR INTENSIVE. IT WOULD MEEN DETATCHING THE GRID FACES ON EVERY OTHER ROW AND APPLYING A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT MATERIAL/MAPPING CORDS TO THEM AFTER I REATTACH THEM. THIS SEEMS TO…
THANKS GUYS- I'LL START MESSIN' ROUND WITH THE "REGION FIT" BUT IN ORDER TO ACHEIVE THE LOOK I'M GOING FOR IT'S GONNA TAKE SOME TIME. WE ARE DESIRING THE TWO TONE OR DIFFERENT GRADE PATTERNS THAT HAPPEN WHEN THE FAIRWAYS GET MOWED. PERHAPS IF I ROTATE THE MAPING CORDS EVERY…
#GOLF COURSE?
Message #104835
I'm not even sure that i"m do'in this right but i'll give it a shot(my first time on Compuserve!)…… I'm wondering (and also very ill from 'cdrom searching' )for an easy way to apply a photorealistic material to a mesh grid for a golf course. Is there one out there…
