Blender has come a very long way and I am sure it will eventually surpass both 3d studio max and maya in features and quality. Suffice to say that the reviewer ( i think it was 3d world magazine) was not impressed at all with the quantity of new features and gave it a 7/10 or maybe 8/10.īlender has a smaller team of developers but they are committed 100% to true progress. 3d Studio Max 1 was the second 3d app I used ( I used briefly the 3d Studio for Dos ) in 1999 and kept using it for 3 years. Read a review of 3d studio max few years ago, from the pictures I was suprised that the GUI has barely changed and it is still as ugly as I remember it.

I also knew that under Autodesk’s monopoly, both 3D Studio Max and Maya would progress at glacial speed. I was surprised it took them so long to kill Sofimage but finally they did it. I was a Softimage user which I abandoned the moment I found out that Autodesk acquired it.

And the lesson I learned when I was still a Windows user is that monopoly is a guaranteed way to kill or severely slow down progress. What all began with an engagement ring, drawn in Maya and Zbrush then 3D printed in Wax and cast in palladium (after a 3D printed prototype in pink plastic), is now shaping up to be a promising new career.I choose Blender because I care about progress. The jewellery collection now includes a total of five bracelet designs: Wheat, Gator, Ginko, Pisces and Dragonfly, available in different sizes and materials, as well as a Welsh Dragon charm design and Cuff Links inspired by Pink Floyd’s The Wall masterpiece. He thus began to channel his skills into 3D printing, getting the hang of modelling for real objects within a few months. He started making jewellery because when he wanted to propose to his girlfriend he could not find anything he liked. So when someone this talented decides to create a 3D printed jewellery line, expectation is likely to be quite high and, I have to admit, without disappointed. An initial experiment in 3D printing something this complex resulted in the well known White Rhino 3D piece sculpture.

It has been entirely digitally sculpted by hand (which sounds like a paradox but that is exactly how he works, as neither parametric software nor a 3D scanner could produce something this complex). In fact most of his digital sculptures would need to be severely polygon reduced to be 3D printed.įor example his 3D model of a chameleon made me consider a current limit of 3D printing that I had never thought of: it has 60 million polygons and a top level EOS sintering machine can only go as high as 1-2 million polygons (which, by the way, is very high). I got a taste of Liaw’s work at London’s latest 3D Printshow, where he presented the World Turtle coloured sculpture 3D printed with Stratasys’ multicolor multi-density Object500 Connex 3 and the new capabilities of Photoshop CC, but I was not aware of his amazing talent as a 3D artist until he told me he worked on jurassic park 4. This appears to be true even for top artists who actually still work on those fewer blockbuster properties - and Paul Liaw’s store on Shapeways shows it.

I have often argued that with the consolidation of the movie and videogame industries into fewer blockbuster properties a large number of 3D artists will be moving (voluntarily or not) into commercial modelling for 3D printing.
