Neuro Nodes
 

Here's another quick and dirty... Well, maybe not so dirty image:

Knowing your brain looks like this will really help you sleep better at night, won't it? :D

teehee i like it... nice use of depth of field.. and i really like the little bits floating around :)

That is so nice, how long does it take you to make this small projects?

and another thing... i can't figure out how to make that kind of material in any other 3d package... looks good :)

I seen some crazy stuff like that, and when I read the Tut, it was easy... this looks more complex then the others tho.

try the blood cell tutorial it'll get you thinking :)

blood cell tut? from where?

err i can't find it right now... chruser probly knows ask him

Ok, I will search the Tuts I already have Bookmarked.

k cool it has a similair surface too :)

true, the thing that makes these pics looks so nice is also Lights, I need to learn more about them

The blood cell tutorial can be found here:

Thanks, I will read it up, good job Chruser

ya it tells you alot especailly the material :)

Yeah I was looking at one tut and there is so much to know, but that more options, the more uniqueness.

oooo!~


reminds me of magnified hair.... -____-;;;;

but good job :thumbsup:

reminds me more of nerves :D anyway i think the main purpose of tutorials to teach you how tools can be used in real projects and get you thinking in the way of the modeler thinks

I agree, I only concentrate on learning the tools used in the tut, not makeing the same thing as them... most of time my stuff looks a lot different than theirs.

i still think that the way of thinking is the most important thing to a modeler, start thinking like a modeler... start following natural contours of objects in your sleep :D

Now that you are talking about sleep lol, I am haveing dreams of modeling lol. Is that healthy?

sure it is... i've had dreams of it too... i really want to model myself some days now... but i'm too lazy... lol

lol, it started happening once I relized how modeling worked, I just model things in my head :)

yes do that... try to take every day life objects and splitting them up into primitive objects in your head, makes your life so much easier :)

The weird thing is, I never thought I was be able to do the things I do now. I still a long way to go, like Chruser showed me this Car and the background had trees. IT LOOKED REAL!! I am not jokeing, show them Chruser if you read this post :)

heh i saw that car... well those are not that hard to make... but a pain in the ass to render i have to admit... the trees and stuff are real good texture work tho :)

I was just impressed that it looked SOO real!

Thats what I thought. And the lighter areas are the energy which goes through them.

ya stupid bump effects with good settings :D

I tried messing with bump effect, but the size option is what gets me :P

Just use the VIPER. Get a nice camera angle, do a render and check the preview in the VIPER. It will auto-update each time you do certain changes, such as texture previews. It saves a lot of time.

Well the viper wont work for me, dont know why but it wont.

how to get viper working... release the video chruser! :)

Yes please do, all tuts I read are talking about the Viper. It is just it wont work for me.

ya i have no idea how to get it working either... i COULD just read my book but you know how lazy i am ;P

lol, I hate reading books, but I WILL read the one I am about to buy. I need to read more often, no matter how boring it is. Yeah but that viper worked once. I am trying to figure out what I did ;P

click on the button may be? :D

I have no clue, I messed with it again and it wont work. It has to be a setting outside the Viper Options.

ya maybe you have to set up ur scene a certain way =\

Maybe, I will figure it out if Chruser doesnt show me first.

damn chruser and his time zones :) he should move to my city like this other swedish lightwave guru... i'm actually planning to get together with that guy soon :D
