Say hello thread, first time visitor?

[Motammad]

Hello everybody, im AJ aka Motammad (actually it should be Mothammad but i mistyped it when i was registering but oh well...).
So im 19. Im pretty much new to this 3D modelling world and i've been fiddling with 3DS Max for maybe one year tops... Infact the very first tutorial that actually helped me was one of Jelmers... cant remember which one though...

So, i actually have a couple of works to show (take prior notice that im still a noob in modelling because ive never forced myself to study those 3D modelling techniques):

-um, k... this is not 3DS Max actually, its an awesome terrain generator called Terragen... i made this piece by just fiddling with the controls...

-Now this is my first model i ever made!!! i made it after watching Jelmers Zippo Lighter tutorial

-this is my newest piece... In the beginning i wanted to model an Abrams tank but im too much of an "art" guy and i like improvisation so this is what i managed to do...

Keep up the good work Jelmer.
Respect bro

WOW! very nice! Ireally like that tank you got there. how did you get that, off of a lighter tut O_o

[Jelmer]

nice work mothammad, welcome to the community, i'm glad you like the tutorials and the tank looks cool, you're certainly improving yourself, be sure to post your next work in the WIP forum too so we can help you along the way.

Hi, my name's Alex, I live in South Carolina, USA. I came across this site looking for miscellaneous tutorials. Then I noticed the castle tut and remembered that I had recently downloaded it from a different site, it was very helpful btw^^. When I found out Jelmer was the Webmaster here I had to sign up as a member.

I've been an on an off modeler since about the time g-max came out years ago. I got 3d max 7 about 3 months ago and have been very "hardcore" into modeling since. I have some scrap models but this isn't my comp, wireless card in mine went ca-put, so I can't upload any yet. I'm currently finishing up the fire escape to a hotel I'm modelling. So when i get it closer to completion I'll upload it into WIP.

After browsing I'd have to say this is one of the best modeling sites I've seen. But, I'm rambling so I'll post later.

P.S. Jelmer, are you by chance German? You have a strong accent, almost sounds french to me, and your MSN Messenger pops up in Dutch.

Hmm, hello all. My name's Josh, uh I'm 16 years old. lol. I don't know what else. Well I've been working with photoshop since...3 years ago? I'm self taught in HTML, PHP, MySQL, all that jazz. I obtained 3DS Max 8 exactly a week ago, and am keen on learning everything about it. I'm a sophomore in highschool, and do this on my spare time. I'm actually going to model a few things for a credit in 3D Art, so I'll post up some WIPs eventually. The site's been a great help so far, and I really like the interaction/community. See ya all around :-)
