Dear Amigo:

This is the link to my webpage

https://sites.google.com/site/rednova3d/

Go to the 'gallery', the first 3 pics on the right were done in aladdin 4d.
The rest was done in lightwave 3d, including the mech on main page.
I hope you like my work.
I am just a hobbyist, but I do love both aladdin 4d and lightwave 3d.
Cheers !!!

Dont get me wrong but you need to practice more . I was a LW user for many years back in the day when i was on amiga dayly. The main problem for me back then where effects like smoke and fire and ofcourse rendering times even on 060@66.

You need to pay more attention to textures, lightning and add more details to your objects. Also turning on antialiasing wont hurt . Of course it will add to your rendering time, that shouldnt be a problem for single frames, rendering animations with motion blur and antialiasing is a struggle.

There is also this guide:

Very nice guide/book, thank you.

Are there any more amiga 3d artists willing to share their work ? This almost made me install LW on amiga again but now i only have 030 and 4mb ram...

Sadly I lost all of my rendered 3d work on amiga due a broken hd. I might have the objects folder somewhere i will try to find the backup cds if they work.

I never liked cinema 4d much, LW just ruled all 3d apps on amiga. I might install some apps soon just for fun if they run with just 4mb fast.

I fired up LW 4 on amiga again. Couldn't find version 5. The plan was to make a simple quick scene in 10 minutes. But i forgot how slow things are on 030 Eventually i spent hours making this from scratch. Its nothing special and ugly but it could inspire others to make better stuff. Lw was a true amga diamond

Well, I've just recently learned how to do 3D modelling (using Aladdin4d as my learning software) and I've been doing some models for a small video project:

All the objects in these scenes are custom made. I don't use pre-made objects. Not that they're amazing, but I think they're decent.

I have seen that thread and i like what you have done. It looks good, nice work, i bet it took forever to model and render. Its very fun to make something from scratch and not just load some ready objects and slap a scene together. The more you practice the more objects you end up with. After some time you have your own object collection. Amiga 3d sw will never again be competitive with pc sw but its still fun to learn the basics of 3d modeling and animation.
