the white drew carey Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hey guys, I'm looking for someone to throw together some quick 3D models based on some schematics I've been doing. I'm crap for 3D modeling and, while I could probably figure it out on my own, my plate is DEFINITELY full and I've got no time to learn it right now. I'm not looking for anything fancy and super-detailed, I just want some basic models to manipulate and light so I can use them as references for drawing. The three caveats are that it must be viewable with Google Sketchup (I'm cheap), you gotta keep hush hush on what you are working on, and I can't pay you in cash (I'm cheap because I'm low on money). But I can send you a unique TWDC Studios t-shirt for your involvement in the project, and you get full credit for "3D Realization of Mechanical Designs". I should have two designs for now, and maybe more for the future, but those will be handled separately (and, hopefully by then, I'll be able to start paying). Let me know if you are interested.

Knight26 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I would love to help but I have too much on my plate right now and am not familiar with sketchup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the white drew carey Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 Having full plates seem to be our lots in life lately, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talos Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) It really does. Edited October 17, 2011 by Talos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frothymug Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) hehe... it seems that a lot of us are busy with our own fan projects at the time. Perhaps I can see how I can help when winter break comes around. By then, I'll have completed a semester in learning how to use Pro-Engineer for modeling. Not sure how well that program stands up against other modelling utilities, but it's an offer, I suppose! Bah, I just noticed you require Google Sketchup. Maybe it's similar to other 3-D modellers?

the white drew carey Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 It probably is but, to be completely honest, I wouldn't know. I only require it because the program is free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillyche Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 There's a weird work around that allows sketchup models to load in 3ds max. I don't know it goes the other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamboo-learning Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 It probably is but, to be completely honest, I wouldn't know. I only require it because the program is free. If your looking for free stuff to use on your project there are some out there way stronger then Google Sketchup. Blender and Sculptris for example, that's a good combo.

chillyche Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I've never heard of Sculptris, but Blender is not only full of good features, but it has an amazingly active, and creative community producing respectable art with the tool.
