When did you start modeling?

[3D Freak]

Wanted to model cars for midtown maddnes, so I got 3DS max 2.5, then 5.0, and now 6.0.

I started 2-3 years ago, but I'm still a quite bad modeler.

modelled now two years and started at age 22.
First program was ZM and have tried Cinema 4D and Maya.
But I ended to 3Dmax

Well I have kinda been using some sort of 3D package for 4 years.

This is because every year as part of my degree I've had one module relating to 3D modeling. (Bsc Virtual Reality Design) For the first two years I used Nendo and WorldUp. Both rather poor, WorldUp was used because it had the functionality to be used with VR headsets. It wasnt untill last year when I did my year in industry as a texture artist. That I started using Max to test my textures and apply them to cars. While there I worked on the Codemasters Title IndyCar Series. Although my modeling skills need a lot more developement my textureing is as you would expect sorted. :lol: Now I've finished my degree I will be returning to the games industry as a texture artist in the near future! So still plenty of modeling and testureing ahead of me. :wink:

Started with z mod summer 2003 I hate Z mod, then i started this years january with 3dsmax.

My first impact with a 3d program was with 3dsmax in the 1998 i think. don't remember well but i think it was the 1st version of 3fsmax for DOS.
from than on i rarely used 3dsmax since 2002. now are 2,5 years that I'm enjoing the power of 3dsmax 5/6. before the 2002 it was really hard for me to learn anything about 3dsmax, becouse I had not internet, so no tutorials, tip, forums and everything else. Since I live in Italy (2002) things changed. =]

So this is my short 3d story

I've been modeling for about a year. I was 14 when I started, now I'm 15. Started with zmod, never was able to do anything with that until I started making tires. I then tried out maya, then xsi. Now I'm using 3dsmax and like it more than all of them.

I was 15 when I started and now I´m 16. First I used z-modeler but now Anim8or :? I was so poor in z-modeler.

i think i was 16, in school...they held a course for using a really old version of lightwave.

I first tried to model last december, but never actually made anything but cubes, spheres, and all those built-in shapes. That was interesting for a while, but I never really made anything useful.

I had just turned eighteen at that time.

i started a model in zmod about 1.5-2 years ago but gave up, and came back last summer, did two cars there becosue I wanted to put them in mm2. I started with 3ds max 5 about half a year ago
