Re: Avnet Technology Museum
Very good indeed. Not much difference between the real one, and the virtual museum

Re: Avnet Technology Museum
Thanks! I'm pretty happy with it.
Some of the differences between the two are intention. Second Life's camera hangs really high, so I had to make the ceilings higher and the rooms a bit bigger so the camera doesn't clip. Yes, *a lot* of photo-reference was used--several gigabytes of pictures. Most objects are photo textured, but a few aren't because some of the displays are permanently mounted in ways that weren't good for photographing. Also, of course, glass and shiny objects can't be made into photo textures, either. But practically everything else is textured that way. In fact, it was detailed enough, they had me paint out serial numbers in a few places. |

Re: Avnet Technology Museum
This is a magnificently rendered model! I'm quite fond of the Beatles display.

Re: Avnet Technology Museum
This is awesome that is a ton of work you have done!
Very impressive, just yesterday I tp'ed to the museum while speaking with others in IM. I had seen a post of yours on the secondlife forums. I enjoyed going there yet I was sort of distracted talking to others these pics show a level of detail I clearly missed. I will definitely be going back, great work! |

Re: Avnet Technology Museum

Re: Avnet Technology Museum
Heheh, I wish i could do some crazy stuff like that. I'm not creatively talented, at all. Heck, I can barely model anything in AC3D, and I've been trying to learn for the past two freaking months!

Re: Avnet Technology Museum
It takes a while to get good at modeling. Stuff I was doing after two months was regurgitated crap. That sounds really bad...
