Could be a fun reference for the "super hero" designers.















This is a video showing up all over the internet. No one knows who made it at the moment. Could be a major fx artist or a really talented fan boy. Made with Softimage and Lightwave.

Awesome 'Alien' sculpted from 1,200lb of motorcycle steel!

I think our Krystal Phillips should have no idea constructing a creature with this technique!



brushes, anyone?




Another great site. Specifically the forums. They cover just about every piece of software related to animation you can think of. I get more solutions and tips from this site then even the official support pages for most software. Excellent galleries, works in progress, studio profiles, behind the scenes...
Definitely bookmark this one!




Great website I hit several times a day.
Updates pretty regularly with Software reviews, artist profiles, industry news, galleries, etc.
Good place to go for inspiration.
