Experimentation In 3D

The Portrait of a manic mind - Through the years I have tried to wrap my mind around so many things. From video to cutting cardboard and all the computer programs to design and produce, 3D was one of those things. Back in 1999 I had discovered a program called Poser, inside of Poser you could import 3D models and construct 3D scenes. At first you were limited by the power of your computer and back then they were not very powerful or at least the one I had wasn't. My renders back then were not very impressive. But I was intrigued, so I kept exploring the 3D arena. Soon DAZ 3D came into the picture and my exploration took off. Now so many things were possible. My computer was stronger and DAZ 3D was provide absolutely amazing 3D models, props, lighting, cameras and other environment building elements. I could spend hours a day on the computer. The time would pass and I would not even realize the length of time I had spent. So many days building and then rendering  scenes that were amazing me. The little clip above was made after I had loaded a lip-sync program and some great new 3D clothes for my models. I tell you this scene took hours possibly 16 hrs. The set up can be lengthy along with render times. When this scene was rendered and I sat down to watch the video I was excited. The moment I heard my 3D model sing, that I had just spent hours building the scence and then hours waiting for the computer to render it - I tell you it was emotional watch her come to life, moving and singing - I cried with pride, I was so amazed.
