...may the dark force be with you...!

 

That is absolutely beautiful work! Is your Dad a big Star Wars fan? I am sure he loved it.

I once considered buying 3DS Max. I already had Bryce 5.5 and Poser 6. But after I bought Corel Painter I started getting into digital painting more. I love 3D imagery, but I felt the public at large didn't see it as art... maybe because you can actually buy just about every prop available and just throw the stuff together and have a decent final image.

People do not know how hard it is to construct the props themselves. It is very tedious work and an art form in its own right.

Even with Poser it would take hours to morph a face so he/she would look like the character you wanted. I eventually decided it was easier to learn how to draw.

You did a wonderful job with this lightsaber. I hope to see more of your work.

Hi AG88, thanks for your reply!!
3D graphic is a so bright on games, animations and movies and more..... but the public seems didn't see it as art I felt it too. my interests are drawing and sometimes paint on papers, since a friend sent me a Bryce 5 I found 3D graphic is very interesting too. my dad isn't a Star Wars fan yet, but I'm trying to influence him!
I think I'll post more of my works in future, thank you again!
