“Tree Rings”
I’m getting comfortable enough in Cheetah now that I can almost sketch in 3D. I just start laying down polygons and see where things take me. This render morphed from a Lovecraft-ian horror image into a cave into a tree interior with ear rings hanging inside. Weird, but I like the end result!

Everything modeled and rendered in Cheetah 3D.

He was making a joke about three sounding like tree. Or somesuch. Looks swanky; I still haven’t dived into Cheetah. I read that it didn’t mirror work on two axis and that scared me away. Needless to say, Maya is still too daunting for me. I wish I could just sit down with someone and tinker. I’m sure I could get it. I adapt to 2D apps really quickly.

Mirroring will work in Cheetah. You have to use the Symmetry modifier and it should do what you want.
And I totally missed the joke up there. Doh!
