yeah, mediocre they are. we can help by continuously wiping them off d radar.

flagship: Buckle your shoes! We Are Coming To Take Over!!

Flagship. U wanna take over with a lighter? Good luck with that. But I'd advice u pull up ur bootstraps and get a rope for ur pants if ur belt aint gonna do. This CG thing aint no joke. It takes more than just excitement to achieve something. Unless u want keep rendering lighters for d whole year. Then u just might take over something.

dark-sider:

Dark-sider. I dont think I want to wipe anyone off any radar. I am hoping they improve and become ambitious instead. That way we will have more competent and adept hands on the CG landscape. And in so doing, the probability of one of us having a great idea, that will project the Nigerian CG industry to the world, will improve copiously.

flagship: -_________________- don't be a kill-joy, phenomenon. you walk before you run.

. Nice retort.

Lol. anyways, I am about to jump into animation and visual effects after months of modelling and rendering and years of photomanipulations In order to jump-start the program, I am considering going to an animation school as soon as possible.

Never been a fan of going to school to study design things, but I want to learn standard, industry-strength animation and compositing. Self-help would take far longer I can afford.

I find the arts highly exhilarating. Hopefully, by this time next year, I should be posting shorts and stuff.

Anyways, I hope you guys learn more, experience more. if I ever get to be in a position to help,I will.

cheers

Enjoy!

Specs :

Blender3d 2.65a

Nvidia Geforce 600 series Card

AMD Phenom 6 core processor

512 X 512 Tiles

32 virtual threads

Shaders and texture made with internal Blender engine

OK, now I will start watching out for Amhatu as well.

@amhatu: haba, 32 virtual thread ke. which kind yeye 6 core system go get 32 threads. re u sure u no where to check for ur system's properties.
i doubt if u no wot u re sayin. we dont need ur system's fake spec. just keep workin.

@dark-sider, you have little experience in my Field to understand.

I don't use the standard type of computer for animation and rendering (to give you a hint).

Windows OS systems are the standard. My production system is above standard.

It will not be proper to answer your post because you in-fact do not no what you are talking about.

@amhatu: finally, a prey for me to hunt . u re d biggest joke of the day. u dnt use standard type of computer, sorry ooo. so wot do u use?
ur AMD phenom. u dont use windows OS and look at wot u re postin will all ur lie lie hardware specs. is this all u ve done with ur super fake system, playin with sand. wot field do u specialize in? am really holdin bak boy. dnt say shit wen u dont no shit. u re empty.

@dark-sider, you have very little knowledge. You just registered 2 months ago now you think you can come join the big Guys.


@dark-sider, learn to crawl before you walk. Search around and start learning Guy!!

@amhatu: wooow, the big guys u say or big 4 nothing u meant a big guy must lead with examples not wit sand and lies.
d fact dat u were born in nairaland, schooled in nairaland, graduated from nairaland does not make u good in cg. yeah i joined 2 mnths ago but am d big guy here n u re d small, weaklin, shallow, empty headed, myopic, lost, dimwitted and gay lookin like ass whose name sounds like woman's name
AMHATU bluuuurrrrrreeehh ridiculous, pussSSy name listen AMHATU girly, i dnt crawl, i dnt walk, i dnt run, i dnt fly, i teleport. i move frm one point to another point without traversing the physical space between the points. I AM THE DARK-SIDER HAHAHHAHAH

@dark-sider, you a mental wreck guy.

For example, you wrote a while back, "dark-sider:
yeah, mediocre they are. we can help by continuously wiping them off d radar. "


What kind of crazy person are you? You have not any idea about Art.

We are in this Graphics Forum appreciating each other and sharing ideas amongst ourselves.

You need serious help guy.

OK.Break the tension. I no wan hear say pessin don break bottle for pessin head.

LWKMHO. I no fit laff abeg.

@amhatu girly: now, this is becomin interestin. firstly, am goin 2 answer ur question. " What kind of crazy person are you?" am a creative crazy person. hope d answer is gud enuf. now this 2nd part is very funny. u said am a mental wreck guy. hmmnnnm, i do use mentalray alot and maybe am wreckin it so u can call me a mentalray wrecking guy. . u no wot, most times wen i come to nairaland am always lookin 4 som action, some mumu and suddenly, a beacon on ma radar so i took a look tru ma adjustable telescopic sight of my M107 long range sniper rifle loaded wit 10 rounds of .50 caliber. and guess wot, it is AMAHATU GIRLY on my crosshairs who is claiming to have a system of 32 virtual threads. WOOOOOOT!!!! banng! banng!! banng!!!
down u go mofo u dnt no d difference btw ur RAM and ur HDD, a CORE n a THREAD, and between ur mouth hole n ur shit hole

@darksider, This is a graphic discussions forum. I see that you have registered almost less than 2 months without any contributions to the forum or constructive criticism .

Look Guy Just go read up on the things you do not know about instead of claiming falsifications.

Stop Posting nonsense guy.

Check your UV mapping. The textures look really spooky. Also, try and use the compositor. That way, you can do a separate pass for the lighting. Well, done Blender.

here is a sample of what i am working on

@ladanski(m), Thanks. Yep, I was testing The New Blender2.66 . I will test again with compositer.

velociraptor: well, i started this topic after going through series of animated clips or reels done by nigerians so far. really am disappointed in most of what i saw. it is as if the 3d artist are after the title of being the 1st person to publish nigeria's 1st 3d animated reel or movie. if we keep doing this, we 're definitely sending out a bad impression to the international community.

Thank you thank you thank you hank you thankyouthankyou!!!!!..(could not thank you enough)
It is really horrible seeing the people that call themselves animators. They always think that being able to model something in 3D makes one an animator. Yet they do not know the BASIC PRINCIPLES of animation.
Thank you again.
This is what we are trying to change with our animation courses starting (for the first time) on 4th march at the Goethe Institut. Though we are experts in 2D animation, we are NOT preaching 2D or 3D or any of the Ds. What we are preaching is that people first of all LEARN the BASICS.
It is very embarassing.
Why did we start this Shrinkfish Media Lab (smedlab) because we are tired of being looked down upon by the international community.
Why are we being looked down upon; because of these people sending out (as you said) Negative Vibes to the international Community.
Imagine a film festival in Nederlands being refused of their entitlements in 2010 because according to the City Cultural Office. African films are of CHEAP quality.
So we said, we have heard enough.
Please keep preaching this!!!
Thank you again
MODELLING IS NOT ANIMATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@smedlab: dats more like it. let's make this industry professional and do things right. i love the statement " modelling is not animation"

@dark-sider: son of man, ow u doin?

@smedlab: yeah, i think dark-sider has bin doin a gud job in floggin most of this wack animators. well, it's a gud tin u tryin to set up. teachin
the basics, ow it ought to b done, steps, planning and things u need to no bout the industry.

@ ladanski(m) & PhenomenonVFX(m) since you guys use blender I set up a website(not ready yet)
plus a place on Nairaland so we can discuss more in depth on Blender3d and associated works.

Just maybe the day is coming soon we can produce 3d animated films in Nigeria.

Blender3d : Topic on Nairaland (Graphics/Video) by Amhatu W.

Link : https://www.nairaland.com/1208905/blender3d-topic-nairaland-graphics-video

Sincerely,
Amhatu

whats the best software to learn for starters in 3d graphics?

that's not d right question. the question u shud b askin is which studio, team or group of people can u learn from. this way u will have a foresight of wot u re jumpin into.
