Friday – wereZ

Todays little lesson/tip , is 3D in pivot.

The things youll need are :

• pivot
• a 3d program
• transparent windows
• patience

Now this isnt the conventional way of doing 3d but i find it easiest, first start up youre transparent windows program. My program of choice is martins windows transparency : http://www.tucows.com/preview/335518 .

Then start up your 3d program:

• Anim8or – http://www.anim8or.com/
• Art Of Illusion – http://www.artofillusion.org/
• Blender – http://www.blender3d.org/
• Freestyle – http://freestyle.sourceforge.net/
• Gelato – http://www.nvidia.com/page/gz_home.html
• Now3D – http://digilander.libero.it/giulios/Eng/homepage.htm
• OpenFX – http://www.openfx.org
• Pointshop 3D – http://graphics.ethz.ch/pointshop3d/downloadPS3D20.html
• POV-Ray – http://www.povray.org/
• Terragen – http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/
• Toxic – http://www.toxicengine.org/
• Wings 3D – http://www.wings3d.com/

and make a simple cube.

Then open pivot and do the transparency in thefigure maker box.

Then its as simple as tracing, then moving in the 3D program, this can also help with cell shading your objects for a detailed animation, or making FP weapons.
