Discussion 3d background... learning 2d

[Door Slammers]

What a surprise joining this forum and finding a 3d section ... I feel at home! lol

Been in the 3d world since the early 1990's and currently in the video game industry since 2012 with our own mobile game. Expanding my horizons and learning Illustrator for vehicle wrapping, figured they would complement each other and keep us busy in the summer months (games sales slow down when the sun is out and its warm).

If anyone has any 3d questions, be glad to help

. I use 3ds max for the pc and Cheetah 3d for the mac.

First print job was a mini bike, second is a junior dragster for a friend until we learn the ropes. Finishing up the 3d model, then it can be uv mapped for the wrap design for printing. Purchased a VG-640 the end of last year and also have a BN-20 for small jobs

Welcome and very nice to have a good knowledge base for 3D..

Have you reached out to enroute people yet on forums for CNC - that may be a good source for you also along with 3D printers here on this forum.

Send me your info as we are always looking for good 3D artist...trace@NorthStarSignsandGraphics.com

I've been in 3D as well for several years. But I did it as a hobby, just for fun. So can't say I am an expert by any means.

I'm more of a hard surface modeler... wish I had more talent on the artistic side. I could never draw a human or plant if my life depended on it lol.

Just the last few months started learning Illustrator, its humbling for sure.

Welcome,
My degree is in Game Design, although I haven't used 3Ds Max or a game engine in years. I do use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator a lot for vehicle wraps, as well as Flexi.
