I found my first picture. I think it was made October 2000.
After playing around with making different object,
I tried to make this room.

Will you show your first pictures too?

froo · Post by **froo** » 01 Jul 2010, 21:03

that's a pretty nice picture for a first time there Wigand!
I don't know if I even have a copy of my first picture. It's probably a
chrome sphere on top of a checkerboard grid.

Hm now I wonder how many people did that?
I think my first pic was done in PovRay.

Here is an early one I created in 1995 you probably have seen around...
Not my first rendering but I always liked this one.

That one deserves to be immortalized by printing it on velvet!

Wigand · Post by **Wigand** » 04 Jul 2010, 12:15

Steinie, it seems you had the same kind of humor (jokes) 15 years ago.

I serached thru my hard drive and found I still has TSver1 so I rendered one of the old files and it was and example per the book that came with TS except for the background.

spacekdet · Post by **spacekdet** » 20 Jul 2010, 03:37

That looks a lot like tS2 & 3.
Loved that left-right-left click to open the Material Panel!

I dug thru floppies and found, of all things, an AVI file from April 1996.
Can't find my oldest stuff, the websites they were on are long gone.

But now I present to you, in all it's shimmery, unfinished, badly lit 1990's glory:

trueSpace had his tricycle as 3d Studio had his tea cup.

Interface of v1 is very near v6.6. It seem the first version of many soft is the most important thing for his future. v7 was a new way and we know what happens after that...

brotherx · Post by **brotherx** » 20 Jul 2010, 11:17

Probably not my first image but one of my first ones. This was after I got VRay and while I'd been messing with the tutorials (had the south park videos as well so modelled the cartman head) I went on to create this for the SMC. The actual render I submitted was awful and I actually kept playing with Vray's settings and re-rendering until I managed to get this and I was so pleased with it. The render time was something stupid, 4 hours or something.

Far from perfect, but I like it all the same.

spacekdet · Post by **spacekdet** » 22 Jul 2010, 22:16

Found another 'fossil'.

bitkar · Post by **bitkar** » 23 Jul 2010, 20:40

wow, finally I reminded this topic in the right time, when iam at home ;)

so my pic, made in tS2.0 in 1998. I was called A Gallery:
(I just found a bumpmap and reflections :D )

jamesmc · Post by **jamesmc** » 27 Jul 2010, 03:55

Don't have my first tS pic - think it was a primitive sticking out of a primitive that was partially textured and a light pointing in the wrong direction.

This kind of picture I would interpret as a test.

As your first picture it's ok if you show
a picture of your first real project.

That was 3 hard drive crashes ago.

this was my first Truespace pic, done when i got Truespace 4.3:

Buzz · Post by **Buzz** » 27 Jul 2010, 22:16

It's not THE first render but it is one of my first. Did this one in '99 and won the first prize in the Caligari image contest.

froo · Post by **froo** » 27 Jul 2010, 22:22

Wow; VERY nice lothissen and Buzz!

Yes indeed!

@jamesmc:
You only make excuses.

You always made backups, look on your CDs and Disks or scan your printouts!

Finis · Post by **Finis** » 28 Jul 2010, 03:51

This is the earliest I could find but it isn't the first. From 2000. I tried to model from a real bottle that is square on the bottom and round on the top.

spacekdet · Post by **spacekdet** » 28 Jul 2010, 17:14

Square to round... did you use NURBS?

Finis · Post by **Finis** » 28 Jul 2010, 21:28

Should have. I looked for a tool to take several shapes and wrap a minimal surface or other envelope around them. I'd seen that for nurbs somewhere. Didn't find it. Would have used it on a cube partly in an egg. So I just Boolean unioned them. The real bottle's transition is smooth.

Changa · Post by **Changa** » 06 Dec 2010, 19:47

One of my first. Year 2003. Experiments with fog and b/w-map-to-mesh (can't remember it name) plugin.

MikomDude · Post by **MikomDude** » 06 Dec 2010, 19:52

As far as I can remember, I never rendered my pictures, just took a screenshot and loaded it into the Gimp.

This is the earliest image I could find:

I called this spaceship "the Quadronius", don't ask me why.

It was at the bottom of my "MY 3d models" folder in "MY pictures" and it also the earliest I can remember except my first model, a Cylon raider.

CdeB · Post by **CdeB** » 13 Jan 2011, 13:01

This was my first picture with tS (4) in 2000
I post it now before Christmas is completely forgotten, and it still might find relevance

ranger0101 · Post by **ranger0101** » 13 Jan 2011, 21:05

This one of my first models in
TrueSpace 3.2.

I had no idea how the program worked.
It was my irst experiance with CG. I think
it was around 1996.

Cheers!!!

marcel · Post by **marcel** » 14 Jan 2011, 16:09

I don't remember the first i made with TS but these pictures was made in 1996.

Welcome unklejman ! I like what you did. The forum is open for all software and it would be nice if you can show what you do today with 3d max. You can create a new topic for you here or show how you work on a wip. You can have also your own artist folder if you prefer.

unklejman · Post by **unklejman** » 28 Jan 2011, 14:21

Thanks marcel. I posted here a few months back, I think I even started on a challenge but work got really busy for me and I kind of fell off of the face of the earth.

Draise · Post by **Draise** » 21 Jul 2013, 20:46

Wow, cool thread.

Here is my contribution:

My first render in TS 5.5 or 4, don't remember. I was only 14 years old when I did that. I accidentally deleted those files and scene and wept for a few days. It took me a long time to do it, and I was so excited, my first 3D stuff!!

It was mainly a modelling and learning TS 5.5/4 exercise.
