I need help please

1. Any imaging program. (Photoshop, Paintshop Gimp, MSPaint, etc....) And whatever other programs or devices that'll make something you can SEE...(Bryce, 3D Max, blender, Maya, your digital camera, scanner, wacom tab)
2.Just search for " tutorials" w/ google or whatnot.
Here are some sites that don't really teach, but are inspiring:
www.endeffect.com
www.designgraphik.com
www.thedesignersrepublic.com
www.sydmead.com
...among others
(just my opinion here...)
3.It takes as long as it does! It's up to you, obviously the more time and thought you put into it, the better it'd probably be. But everyones different. It's fun. I wish I had more time at home to do it....good luck.

lol thanks for the heads up, KC.

I just thought of some more questions to ask the "l337" wallpaper designers
what about lightwave or poser?
What do they do?
I don't know much about 3d studio max, bryce or maya, also what do they do?
How are the end results of each program compared to others and how easy are they to use?

Sorry to ask so many questions :P

spoko spoko miri, on jest nowy =)

deke: they're all for 3d, some have different strengths than the others. i don't want to go into detail- neither will anyone else i guess.

you really gotta try em out
or at the very least use your browser

Never used any of the 3d progs...
miriku: ummm... a little harsh maybe?

oh well, thanks for your help anyway...

in terms of plugins, they may be good to begin with, but to be considered proffesional, most people drop them off their repetoire at some point.

Things like Maya, Lightwave, SoftImage XSI or 3D, Cinema 4D XL, or any other one mentioned here, are all based in 3D modelling and animation. I'm sure you've seen those nicely rendered on some wallpapers, thats exactly what they do.

Things like Photoshop, Corel 10, Paint Shop Pro 7, and a few more, are all based around 2D image manipulation.

Get comfortable in Photoshop, its a great program top learn, and is easily the most comprehensive of the 2D programs.

Hope that helps :)
