I watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTkuCXRZnyM
and I'm like: "Paisanos? PAISANOS? Mario is Italian, not Spanish!"
Critical research failure much? Arrivederci.
That and Mario touching a Super Star in that video and turning into Fire Mario make me think that some company other than Nintendo made the theme song and messed it up.

Have any of you tried to make some 3D things? I made this memory card in order to practice using Blender 3D: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQJFe_-gI5k
It's only the second 3D object I've made. I chose to do a memory card because it's pretty simple, almost just a rectangle. It didn't turn out perfect, but I'm happy with it anyway, and I learned a lot of things, like the fact that I should NOT use the messed up cutting tool. You can do pretty cool things with these 3D programs if you learn to use them. Blender 3D seems pretty damn hard to use though.

I can assure you many users here are artists that use 3d software as a tool for their jobs. I have been working with 3d modeling and animation for 10 years now, going from architechtural visualization, educational animations, entertainment animation for tv and real time 3d/pre-rendered 2d action games.
Unfortunately the market here isn't that well developed, so I had to learn a bit of everything: modeling, texturing, animation, rigging, lighting, rendering, video editing, sound editing, art direction and graphic design. That means I'm not really a specialist at any of those, but the advantage is I can do the whole thing on my own and understand the process.
Nice render there warp!
Looks good, but the objects don't seem to represent anyting familiar. Did you make these screws also? Those are awesome, I have no idea how I could make a screw.

Didn't you like the memory card I made? It took forever to make.

I would like to see it in wireframe too, as the black color doesn't help to see the modeling, which is being showcased.
It reminds me of something I made (sorry not youtube, requires shockwave plugin): http://www.angelfire.com/ex/uobt/castlevania-gitanno.html
It's something I made to help my friend visualize the label he was about to print. I had originally made the board with contacts, but it didn't export.
Modeling screws is trivial in 3d studio max, given that you know your ways around the modifiers.

This is before I made the corners smoother. After that, it looks like this, lol: http://i.imgur.com/4HZca.png
It has thousands of faces and lines and looks very messy... I only wanted to make the corners smoother, but to do that I had to subdivide the whole memory card 3 times. There is probably some better way, but I couldn't figure it out. It sucked because it also made the program run very slowly, because there's so many faces.
Awesome, looks very realistic. Shame the contacts didn't export, so it's just a hollow case :P The shockwave thing is better than youtube for 3D, I need to learn how to do that some time.

It might also be trivial if I watch enough youtube tutorials.

The first 24 pages (that's up to where I tried watching before giving up) in this thread are 90% full of links to videos that don't exist anymore. Just saying.
