ya i wish i have 4 years of 3D... instead I spent 2 years playing with flash, now recently started to work on 3D... and I felt I have wasted so much time on an amateur program like flash... sigh

---

I am 15 and started fooling around with Flash when iw as 11, and Photoshop when I was 9, and I am still finding out how to do new and interesting things. Flash is by far not an "amateur" program. Sure, amateurs can use it to an extent, thats because on the surface, its easy to learn. But it takes skill and devotion to produce somethign truly amazing. And that is possible in Flash.

sorry i meant relatively amateur program then
indeed it does wonders, I luv flash :3

flash is no amateur program.
it is just the people who use it.

Flash? Amateur?
Bah! :D

What I wanted to see was more of the kind of stuff he does at the end of the intro, where he's sitting at the desk, that was ten times cooler than zooming down a 3d 'tunnel' full of abstract shapes - I never get that kind of stuff.

No doubt Aversion. Not to take away from the talent of the developer but I really just don't get these 3D and video subjects/elements. No practicality. It's a major motion picture trailer without a major motion picture.

And though the "sitting at the desk" part is really pretty cool it is obviously a Minority Report reference. You know he saw the movie and said I am going to put that on my site. Cool, not original.

And I ask again. What is that silvery mechanical thing and does it do something?

I fail to load the http://www.billybussey.com ...

WHY????

because he took absolutely no consideration about bandwidth into his site - even his lowband connection didnt load on dual isdn

Very nice-looking, but not much under the shiny 3d surface. Needs more interactivity.

If anyone here is familiar with 3D production they know that there are 2 things that make 3D Production difficult, assuming you learned how your 3D developement tool of choice functions and learned all it's options:
1. Creating a 3D Model, or groups of models, based on real-life objects (such as lifeforms, cars, water, clouds, etc).
2. Animating them.
3. Texturing them.

The BB website does none of these 3 things. Basically, he created a bunch of rectangles, squares and spheres... moved them around to form a tunnel... cut them out a little bit to give them edge and that's it. I mean, they weren't even textured.

hehehe...I like you! You make it all sound so easy!!!

There's a lot of skill in the intro, The camera work alone is pretty
slick and I don't think he intended to skin many objects as he's
rendering most anims with a skylight.

As for there being "2" things that make 3D production difficult,
a 3D app can take up whatever time you throw at it, just like
Photoshop or Flash. You'll find that animation and mapping, or as
you say "texturing them" are just 2 pimples on a 3 dimensional pimple
covered ass.


Go back and open 3DMax and learn the fundamentals. Then you'll
see that the lumbering, inadequate theories you've shared on the
subject of 3D design are massively off target.


I like the site, not very extensive and needs the final content added
but for his target audience..nice work.


gentlemen, I bid you good day.

Awesome site. Very cool 3D.

compared to the hype at the start of this thread, i'd say its pretty average. sure, the 3d stuff is good, but the actuall site is too over rated.
too much loading, too slow, not enough content.
...but thats just me :domo:

Hell, I am not even good myself. I just know what I like and what I don't, and this i didn't like. It looked kinda "slapped together" like a bunch of differnt sites were robbed for parts and this is the end result.

O like that .....;)

I actually had a feeling of inbalance between

Its all graphics, there is no content other then a badly written bio of himself.

It is very cool looking, graphics are awesome and I love em, just a little more content please.

The way I look at it....there are tons of sites out there....and only a few stand out from the pack. This one definately does that in the form of amazing 3d work.

I don't really see how there is too little content. He hasn't put up his past work or services section yet which is usually the bulk of an online portfolio. He said on the intro page that the site isn't complete yet.

I'm diggin that music loop alot. I'm still kinda torn on whether it fits the site or not though. Maybe a bit too slow.

Nice work though Billy. Awesome site.

it works fine on my p4 1.5 -- i really want to get into deep incredibly detailed 3d work, but my machine can't handle it.. so im stuck untill i can get 7k for a G5 system.

screw content i want eyecandy :)

mad propz to BB for his groundbreaking site which rivals that of 2a and fi (in my opinion)!!!

ohh i want some hype for my site too!!! haha 2 days till release!!

There isn't really a decent 3D app for OSX. I'd stick to Windows for that stuff.
