Experimentation...

Decided to fuck around with 3d studio max, and I came up with this.

I love that perspective kind of imagery. Could you possibly show a version of that without Tool across the front of it? I was sitting there thinking "why can't I see half the image...?" when I realised it actually said TOOL...

Good work though, I like the idea behind it... yes, behind it.

It's images like these that make me wish I would have spent more time messing around with MAX...

I love the abstract environments you can create with 3D programs, its something I'm just getting in to at the moment. You see some pretty amatuer renderings with spheres and reflections around, which don't really seem to offer much, and then there are some seriously cool ones, such as the one Method posted.

Definately inspiring stuff.

I really loved the one with TOOL in the middle.

I think you need to make those, sparking balls in the T, also in the L (Perspective).

It looks really flashy, and it's fucking sweet.

Having seen it without Tool there, I think I prefer the other one. Thanks for showing that one though, its now set as my background.

Listen to Mortiis - Everyone Leaves and create something on the feelings you get from that song, that would be awesome (at least, I think it would).

Eh... I downloaded the song, and quite frankly I'm unimpressed... I guess it just ain't my type of music

Well, if you liked them, then you must like Mortiis too.
But you don't like Mortiis, so I guess you don't like SP or NIN either.

I can't take Mortiis seriously with those fucking latex ears. I find it very hard to take anyone who have been part of the norwegian (or any country for that matter) blackmetal scene seriously.

The people from the North always make good metal.
I can't understand why you think it's hard to like it.
They make some amazing music.

Take bands as:

Mortiis
Windir (YES IT'S A BAND)
Borknager
Dimmu Borgir
Trail Of Tears
Vader

Those are just a couple from the top of my head.

There are more (good) metal bands from the North then from anywhere else.
No one can deny that.

Damn... looks like MM uploading is down...

This thread has inspired some experimentation of my own. This is my first attempt at doing something which isn't an actual object, and I whipped it up pretty quickly. I played around a lot in photoshop once I'd exported it from 3dsmax. Its just a bit of fun, but I thought I'd show it in the hope of bouncing back some inspiration.

checkit!

Why are you guys looking at the people who play in the band and not at the music?

The main reason you have to like a band is there music, not the looks.
If you are playing in a Metal band doesn't mean you have to look evil, or else there will almost be nothing left of the Metal genre.

No, you dont have to look evil but these guy obviously try to. Their failure to do so makes them pathetic. AND their music is monotome and generally sucks. Again, the ambition to portray themselves as evil makes the image AMD the music turn out ridiculous. Just read their pretentious fucking lyrics.

Ah ok, so the intention to look evil + the lack of inspiration in there lyrics makes them look and sound, shitty... That seems fair enough.



To Elgyn: Nice picture, ones again.

here's something i did a ways back in 3ds max

http://www.neuroleptic.net/linkedStuff/InsideSun.jpg

Lately I haven't been using max for stuff like this, i've been using music for that sort of expression, but I've become quite a bit better with max, so maybe one day i'll try my hand at that again.
