Hi,


Well this is my first more serious TS work at least where I have dedicated more time to find out how TS tools work. No more textured cubes, spheres or cones. :D


Hope you like it.


Suggestions ? go ahead...


Thanks.

It looks like a real fish tank to me !!! Very nice work !!! Is that a background image ? If it is, I like how you've included the same type of fish ! I also like that your fish is also interested in trueSpace !!!:cool:

Thank you Mr. 3d.


No, there is no background image, all are objects and some of dof effect.



Thanks Erpax, the lights are normal. I'm using TS 3.2.

I'm using TS 3.2.


Wow! :confused: I wonder what marvels would you make with tS 7.6.

Congrats! ^_^

Hey great job and using tS3.2 to boot! You should really

update someday to tS7.6 if your computer can handle it. So many more

cool tools. Like others have said keep showing your renders here, we enjoy it.

Thank you very much for all your kind comments.


Unfortunately TS 7.6 didn't work on my computer. I really don't know its minimal specifications but anyway 3.2 gives a lot of fun.

• Windows Vista, XP or XP Pro.

• Pentium 3 or equivalent AMD Athlon (Pentium4 or equivalent AMD Athlon recommended)

• 512 MB RAM (1 GB or more recommended)

• 460 MB free hard disk space

• 3D video card with at least 64MB of video memory (DirectX9, full Pixel Shader 2.0 support, and 128MB or more video memory highly recommended)


(I believe DirectX 9C is needed)

Wow, very nice considering you are using a version that's more than a decade old. :) :banana:


I hope that you can upgrade your computer sometime and dig into 7.6. It would be interesting to see what you could do with even better tools. ;)

Thank you Steinie, my computer covers all those requirements but I don't think about the video card. That has to be the problem.


Thank you very much digitaldali, Breech Block, Délé and all for your comments.

You should be very pleased with yourself, this is better in many respects than some of the recent gallery entries.


Look forward to seeing more.

Very nice indeed Jalm, I like it... how did you do the water reflections on the sand? was it applied to the sand texture or did you use a projector light or transparency plane?


Great texturing on the fish and rocks... ;)


Ps. how about some glass spheres for bubbles?

Thank you. Yes, a plane with a tga with some patterns below the main lights.

Yes, when I started with this scene I included a flow of bubbles but I didn't get the effect well enough so I have to work on it. I'm thinking in adding some particles in suspension.


Thank you Katherine, and Wow! beautiful photo and 3d work galleries in your website.

At the risk of being repetitive from what everyone else has said very nice work. I am sitting here at my desk at home and looking at my fish tank wishing it looked more like yours :D

He,he,he...thank you although I think it's not that good. I had fish tanks for some years maybe that's why I chose this theme and that fish, I loved them.

Looks Great!

One thought, those cardinal tetras love to school, you might throw a few more in :)

If you'd like to add more fish from the same area, here's a short list.
Angle fish
Discus
Plecostomus

They're all from the Amazon.
Fresh water aquariums where my thing through high school. :D
