If you read this yet it is true, I am thinking of leaving deviant art for good. I had a good run but now its over. I will leave this page up however I will not update any deviations nor take any new members as I will not be on deviant art to add them. Sorry guys.

This user is for NHT's 3d artist club.


More people need to note me; get cracking people! Send out your deviatiants for the good of the club and extra exposure!

Finally this club has a jump start.
1. Heres what I need to know. I need to know the programs we are all using, so I can gather recorses for the club. Just post it in this journal.

2. Everyone who needs some help can either post on the user page, or in this journal. I will try my best to answer as many questions as possible, but it is up to all of us to offer all the help we can to our community. How you do this is up to you, by either submitting a link, or posting a reply to a question.

3. I would appreciate if everyone submitted their links, via note, as to not scum up the flow of everything else.

Get cracken, and 3d like you've never 3d'd before!

Blender
by: ~wildanthony
First a wikibook devoted to blender. This thing is totally amazing and tolerably complete. It's still in progress though I think: [link]

Next a nice site devoted to 3d, it has a fair amount of blender tuts. I'm happy with them: [link]

Then a HUGE repository of links for blender tutorials. I was impressed: [link]

Other than that I found an interesting human modelling program that is open source. It's really quite powerful, although somehwat limited in possibilities to a user like me that doesn't fully understand the software or proscess yet. [link]

Then a repository for free models... don't know if anyone uses these but here it is if you're interested: [link]

And finally a huge blueprint database. I'm planning on ussing some of them to try my hand at modelling a vehicle: [link]

Hope that helps some. the Blender 3D software itself can be downloaded at: [link]

Heres an awsome BluePrints link submitted by Ruzzy2006
[link]

And Car blue prints submitted by maxytaxy
[link]

He also made a sweet tutorial for blender! This deals with smoothing groups.

I found the best 3d character moddelling tut available out there. It even comes with it's own templates ect. And I was able to recreate the perfect character with it. It was written for 3ds max, but can apply to any program.

sorry for the lack of updates lately, but i'll be making regular updates from now on!

Heres a link for the more technically inclined of 3d artists!
Anyways it explains how light refracts off different materials. For those of you going for super detailed render's this will help.
