Bruce Lee 3D - Quite A Good Animation Done In Old PowerAnimator 8 & Maya 1.0>>>

[BellicoseBloke]

This is actually quite good for the late 90's... Years ago I tried Maya 1.0 what a head-banger... Can't even imagine doing something like this in it...

I do use Maya 4.5 though on my old-old machines... It was the first version with the 'Smooth Proxy'...

Here's a brochure... Unlimited Maya was 8 grand-

This was before it had Mental Ray but I never minded that... I thought the Maya Software Render Engine was pretty good, plus faster-simpler...

Here's a couple renders I did a year or so ago in 4.5, they have a nice aliased softness to them-

Beautiful models of the tank destroyer! Well done!

Thanks, I did not model the tank, just rendered it... I had got it off the wayback as a Maya model... I lit the scene using 'DomeGI' which simulates radiosity in a fakish manner...

Could you give me the wayback link please?

Luckily I found it.... It comes in various formats plus there's a link for the maps-
