Guys, here are two little questions. Please, select an answers:

1. I make my pieces of art for demoscene...
a) at home.
b) at office, when I have some free time.

2. The modelling software I use...
a) was bought by me (a licence for personal use or something like that).
b) I did not paid for this from my own pocket (free soft, company where I work has a licence, etc.).

can't ppl use freesoftware? You humans are all the same.

c) was pirated

and hence, 1 needs c) on yer ship, yarrrr!

"etc." in 2/b is a politically correct shorthand for "pirated"

1.a 2.a

Exactly! So, guys, do not afraid "b" answer in 2nd question.

1. b
2. b

And my boss is Scrooge reborn, so I don't do any 3d at all. :-)

1a, 2a

ab, b

2.d) I still use graph paper and then report all the coordinates of the cubes into an array of floats, like in the good old days \o/ (which I used to do at school during classes, not at home)

keops: no wonder your progress on your *ahem* is so slow :)

abb|aab|bab
ab|baa|bb|ab

I pre-render everything on a renderfarm at work and then compress it down to 63.5 MB and then attach a 0.5 MB replayer to it, because that way the demo looks much better.

We are allowed to do that nowadays you know -- so much have changed since the days of the Amiga.

gloom: doesnt tbl do the same? :D

Maali: Ah, touché dear Sir. :)

gloom :)))))

Maali :(((((

awww, keops :( *hug*

As long as I enjoy watching it :)

Who answers 1a, 2a is lying.

apparently, xernobyl, you have imagination problems :)

despite the instant pouetisation, heres my serious answer: right now, i use softimage xsi 6 essentials, photoshop cs2, zbrush2, mudbox1 as well as other tools like flash mx / acdsee. i bought every single one of them over the past few years as a freelance artist (i started with photoshop3 back then, still have the original disks! ;) i even have maintenance on xsi and mudbox...
and to answer the first question: there is no such thing as sparetime if you're running your own company, so all my demoscenework is done during worktime of course ;)

cheers!

1. a & b
2. b first then c

1a2b & 1b2b

someone pays for software?

Say that you're pretty new to the scene and wants to do 3d for demos - where to start? Which programs? 3ds max? Or some of those mentioned by Gizmo? Guess I'm feeding trolls here, but still hoping for some good answers. Thx!
