My good buddy Ben is working with Blender, and open source 3D animation program. I haven’t done any 3D since school – 8 years ago! I found my projects though, and here they are. These were all done in 3D Studio Max 2.5 on my old PC – P2 266Mhz 128MB Ram, 8MB video card. It was a pretty good system back in the day, but rendering the animations took an eternity.
First up was to design a room.
No animation, just a single frame. This one is neat for me because that’s actually my painting on the wall. My taste in decorating has vastly improved though! I think if I had to live in a room that looked like this I’d vomit. I know for sure my wife would!
Then came the animations.
Animating a cylinder:
Next up – a countdown from 10 to 1.
Hockey School – my young nephew (6 or 7 at the time) lived in Phoenix and was a huge hockey fan.
The Bowler – my dad retired from IDOT in 2000, and has bowled on Monday nights, well, forever. I did this video as a congatulations type thing.
Thinking back, I really struggled with 3D. It was never my strong suit in school and I was never as good at it as I wanted to be. However, this was a fun trip down memory lane. Thanks for making me think about it Ben!
