I can't do 3D, but with Photoshop it will be easy enough to see.

I could've sworn I posted here yesterday but it seems to have POOF'd away so...

FTP...album...

Right, okay

Okay, well this is rather a surprising occurance, something the SDF has started becoming this large...

When's the signup deadline? I may have some spare time over spring break to work on one.
Feb 23, 2004 roguelazer link
Since Pyroman hasn't responded, and I made "the list", I suppose I'll still put your names on. :P
Feb 23, 2004 Pyroman_Ace link
No signup deadline, only an enterance deadline.

When i say it's agility is "very high" i mean equal to, if not higher than, the valk. The wide body should make it possible with the right mass distributation.
Feb 23, 2004 Arolte link
You missed Arolte on that list. I can't do any fancy 3D renders since all the free/shareware 3D apps for Mac sucks, so it'll be made completely in illustrator. Yay!! Thankfully we got until June, which I think is way too much time... but hey I'm not complaining

Wings 3d kicks ass!

blender has NURBS modeling too.
Feb 24, 2004 roguelazer link
blender doesn't suck...

Well, both of them have an unintuitive interface and have quite a steep learning curve. Why can't Discreet wake up and make gmax for Mac? Maya is okay and all, but the whole $9000 cost thing is a real turnoff you know. And the free educational version puts a watermark on everything you do, and is probably limited in more ways than one. Do you realize how many more awesome mods the Mac community can contribute to games if gmax was ported? We're talking about a platform that's focused on the design industry. Bah!

Lightwave is comparable to Maya in the stuff you can make with it. I've heard maya has better NURBS modeling, but also a lot of bugs that come along with it.

Lightwave can be gotten for student discount at something like $400 bucks. If you are really interested in 3d, lightwave is the way to go. Strata offers demos of its products, demos that lack some options but still offer basic modeling power and no watermarks. I used strata for quite some time before switching to lightwave. Its a good learning program. And yes it is mac compatable.
