Santa (3DM, dxf, ...)

[gabi68]

Hi to all,

What can I say "Great thread". I have on little demand. Anyone has a 3D Santa (no matter extension)?

Thank you

Hi GB,

I saw you mention 3dm....do you have Rhino? If so, and if you can find a line drawing somewhere you can easily trace it into Rhino and if you have Rhino 4 you can do it much easier.

Hi Mike,

I search but I didn't find anything good. Can you post a link or a file?

Thank you

Hi GB,

I found a site of lots of free clip art but am not allowed to link to it.........so, I'll do the next best thing.

you know what goes here.christmas-graphics-plus.com/free/santa-clipart1.html

It is not a link, but you can edit it a little and get there. Once there find the one you want and copy it to your hard drive. If you need help with Rhino 4 on how to trace it let me know.

Hi Mike,

First of all I would like to thank you for link. I forgot to mention I have 3ds Max also and I try to make a 3D ojbect. In order to do that I need at list 2 image reference (front and side). So, I like Santa's head (from first page but I need another image). If you know where I can find that I will appreciate to share with me.If you know a tehnique to do that in Rhino or 3DS Max I will appreciate also. Whats next...?

Thank you
GB

GB you need to go to this thread here on the zone. It is based on max and gmax and sounds like exactly what you want.

ps I am going to buy the guy's tut as I have gmax. Once I learn it, I hope to use the same process to do it in rhino using surfaces instead of meshes! We'll see.

Hi Mike,

Thank you but what I need is areally 3D mode not a 2.5 D model. That approach is very fancy. I also join on Yahoo group and I hope to see and learn more.

Anyway thanks

Sorry GB,

That is as close as I can get you to what you need. I have no idea where to get a ready 3d unless you did a search for 3d models and just looked. There are tons of 3d sites out there and maybe one of them has what you need, but I have no idea where to send you. Again, sorry.

Mike
