i saw that this has already been done by the major drum companies, some time in the 80's. the drums were of fiber glass and had one normal, tunable, drum had and a large curved bell similar to yours. cool concept anyhow.
by the way, great model! i cant wait to see it rendered!

i love it! especially the side view, where you get to see the streamlining of the roof. my only suggestion is about the colors: right now it looks a little... cartoony. get rid of the red paint on the rims and ad some silver accents around the rest of the body. something to complement those great lines of the roof!
great work!

i realy like how the outside cladding of the house continues into the rear wall of the room in the foreground. nice touch.
294
i love to one with the red roof. its a great meld of modern styles and traditional cabin looks. i especially like the big windows on the front, providing a great view of what ever mountain you're building this on. keep going, these are great!!

at the risk of sounding like everyone else: welcome to the forum!
no chats, just you replying to other people's cool stuff and other people replying to your cool stuff. and of course with a touch of humor. otherwise we'd just be a bunch of nerds talking in software jargon about a 3-D modeling program. wait a second.... that didnt come out like i had hoped.
anyway, welcome to the forum.
292
well, that's another way of looking at it. Though I did find you coment a refrshing break from the monotony of the news about the scandal. You may have just proved me wrong.
And don't get me wrong ( no pun intended), I love being wrong. I means that there is another way of looking at something and that way might just make more sense than mine.

oh! Six wheel steering? Good thinking! Plausiblity, here we come!

here is a new render!!!!! i didnt make the model, i just snatched it from the ware house because i wanted to see how fast this computer could render. and the answer is: fast.
here it is:

Elisei, your cars contnue to blow me away. Especialy now with the HDRI maps in Vray, those add a whole new dimension to your renderings. I would keep the curent map of what looks to be a ware house.
As for that monstrous six wheeler, make it smaller. As of now, the turning radius would make it a completely impractical design. Unless of course, you manage to give it four wheel steering. But that wild add costs and extra materials and balh blah blah.
Wow, I just read that and it sounded really rude. Please don't take it the wrong way. All I was trying to say is that you need to shorten the front to back length, that's all.
Good luck in that contest!

it pisses me off when people post in a "what pisses you off" thread and then get completely off topic and start being grammar nazis.
just kidding

i myself find this whole scandal to be an outrage. that little girl that was supposed to sing competed in a grueling competition in order to sing at one of the greatest world gatherings. only for the Chinese government to say "no, your not pretty enough" to her and instead have another little girl with no singing talent steal her place and her voice. at least the chinese government told the world that it was faked, if they didnt say anything about it and i found out, i would be furious.
and whats more, the chinese government started to find online threads and discussions about the scandal and soon after started to delete them! youtube videos have been blocked, threads deleted. i think that this forum isnt in danger of that happening.
287
hey! guess who got a new computer?! i did!!!!! that means rendering can resume!!!
plus the new computer happens to be a dual core mac (i know i know, not the octuple core alienware monster i was hoping for).
new renderings are coming as soon as i get all settled into my new mac
285
fred, you've out done yourself again. this is awsome. i love how its slightly twisted and all the floors are at diferent angles. the twisty-nes reminds me of the TIN stuff i used to do.
283
that made me laugh SO HARD!!!!! yes coen, the do look cute. and yes, allan, i can just imagine the oh-so-cute segway SWAT team being foiled by the suspect running up some stairs. i can see it now...
the guy running away is temporarily stopped cold with laughter when he first sees them, and then realizes that they have guns and starts actually running. he quickly finds some stairs and goes up. the segways with guns now have to get off their segways rendering the entire thing futile.
i would've expected something like this from america first.
282
dang! i was going to model and render a birthday cake, but the rendering was all overexposed and too bright and all that. happy b-day any way!
281
very nice, very nice. i wount change a thing about it!
280
WOAH... thats insane!!!! i wish i could model with that much detail. your models absolutely blew me away. keep going!!!
279
ok, after reading all the replies, im not going to even look at the thing
