    Cubebrush offers a free stuff weekly. However they do have daily limits on how many times an item can be downloaded. But it is reset to ZERO the following day.

  2. I added a touch of Photoshop chicanery trying to give it a bit more of an old illustrative look....

    I do like photo realistic renders/ However I also enjoy the hand drawn illustrative look as well as the paintery feel.

    Would be cool if 3DC could do NPR type renders like Vue, Poser Pro 11.3 or Blender can. Vue NPR lack options and I find Poser Pro 11.3 a big pain in the butt and prefer DAZ Studio over Poser.

  3. Another model I've been working on & off for a couple of weeks. Needs to be finished but I flip flop between models in 3DC and my photo editing in Lightroom & Photoshop.

    It's supposed to be a steam plant  mechanical room of some sort. Idea came from within my mind.... Still working in voxels  in the scuplt room...

  4. I think I must have attention deficit disorder. I start working on a 3D model, 3D scene or a 2D painting and I take it so far. Then a new idea pops into my head that I have to immediately start on, abandoning the project. And most times completely forgetting. I think with all the 3D & 2D graphic apps, 7 DSLR cameras and a real life 1960 Corvette, I simply have too many hobbies and distractions. And now that I'm retired too much time on my hands.

    Here's a couple of car bodies I started to work on recently. But abandoned. I hope to revisit them soon.

    As you can tell, I am obsessed with hot rods and cars of the 1930s to the 1970s. I have a large collection of car & hot rod books/magazines, die cast cars & quite a few unopened plastic car model kits.

  5. here's one for my home province of Nova Scotia (Canada) and a  personalized license plate  for a Boston Bruins fan in Massachusetts

    or 3DCoat user in Hawaii.

    It appears the "GO BRUINS" contained a few too many characters. BUT I think you get the idea...

  6. Need a texture for your 3D car model? Then you maybe interested in this link which can generate for you a texture for your license plate for any US state or Canadian province...

    Enter what you want for a license plate

    Select the American state or Canadian province & the era

    Below I selected my plate number as KENMO and then seleted California and 1956 and generated the plate below, which can be downloaded as a jpeg.

  7. Here's 8 greebles I've created over the years and used in some of my models. I created  them  with Wings3D, Hexagon3D and Silo3D.  use them for whatever you want. These may not be of the best quality or of little use to some of you, I just wanted to give back to the 3DCoat who has been so helpful and friendly over the past years. People like Abranger, Anton, Javis Jones,  Carolsan, Andrew and so many others who truly make this a fun & very helpful place to visit.

    Cheers - take care, stay safe and healthy...

    Hi Kenmo, nice work on the engines.Not seen Hexagon for while I remember buying it for $1.99! Ha Ha 

     

    Still use Hexagon & Silo3D for things I'm not yet comfortable in Blender. I also have Moi3D which I love.

    Does the belt have teeth? If so I think my first port of call would be the spline tool, using it with the new curves system gives you more control than with the "red ball" curves system. 

    If it is just a flat belt I would make a "slab" of stuff usint the cube primitive  then just use the cut of tool and cut out the profile from the front view in orthographic  mode.

    A real world one would probably have teeth but I will most likely model it as a flat belt. Cheers.

     

  10. For comparison here is the Ford engine I did about 5 or 6 years ago in Hexagon3D. Quite pleased in the amount of time it took to model engine in 3DC considering I am only a 3DC hack and not near the skill level of most who post their work on this outstanding forum.. However I dislike the thought of having to retopo it. Retopo is a BIG PAIN in the BUTT IMHO... ;)

  11. After this morning's yard work (tearing up dead bushes, raking leaves), visiting my Mother's gravsite and going to the grocery store I was too tired to actually replace the fuel lines on my own antique car. A 1960 Corvette which I restored in 1983 and still own. I decided to kill my afternoon with 3DCoat. Using beta 4.9.44 I thought I would like to model a V8 engine completely in the voxel room. I used no reference images. It is completely from my mind. And influenced by the 1960s Chrysler Hemi and the the Ford Boss 429 of the late 1960s & early 1970s.

    The previously V8 engine I modeled was doing completely in Hexagon3D. And I used a 1/6 diecast scale model of a 1930s to early 1950s Ford flathead V8 as reference which is sets on a shelf in my computer room among near 80 other diecast models of cars (mostly vintage) of varying scales from 1/24, - 1/8th & 1/6th.

    I need to add some more details like a fan belt, alternator, starter, spark plug wires & oil filter. This was created in about two hours. Which is about 1/10 the time it took me to model in the Ford flathead V8 in Hexagon3D. But to be honest the Hexagon3D model has a lot more detail.
