Description
I modeled a bullet for the 3DFC "Five minute bullet" challenge, but didn't really feel it was worth submitting. After seeing Apogee3D's renders though, I thought I'd try something out. So I individually placed each and every one of those 100 bullets, which was obviously tedious, but I didn't have anything better to do
(I also didn't care to learn XSI's physics system)The initial product was rather bland, but I adjusted the saturation of the image, added a specular glow, and included focal blur. As such I felt it was finally worth bringing out from my scraps.

nice !
I love the way the metal reflects all those lights.

nice pic, may i plz have the mat if its 3ds compatable

I'd give you the materials (I think there's a way to export them from XSI to 3DS) but the original render isn't really impressive, as seen here .
As I said before there was some extensive post-processing to get it looking decent

That is fantastic man! The use of lighting really brings out the nice textures. What's the polycount on those bullets?

yea nice end result, in 3ds Max the reactor systems are very simple and easy to get the hang of

it has a nice dreamy fuzzy quality to it, like lightbloomed stuff.

Yeah, I did that in PainShopPro

Very nice!
But, not a fish in a tank, now is it? hmm? hmmmm?

Good work... 3Dmax "Reractor" is easy physics system, in a few steps you could hace the bullets setted up.

Thanks for the recommendation. I don't use max (yet) but I'll keep that in mind.

I barely know how to use XSI, and I know how to run simple simulations, just make on bullet, make a grid, select the grid, ridged body > passive ridged body
then select the bullet, ridged body > active ridged body, collision type, actual shape.
cool pic btw.

Btw duplicate the bullet after you make it a Ridged body.

OK, I tried the scene with a simulation. Since you explained it to me I've felt like an idiot, I always thought the simulations would be complex 
So thanks!

Your welcome, I'm glad to help... You could always randomize them a bit before you run the simulation... I thought simulations would be complex too, before I actually figured out how it was done, but you could make it a lot more complex if you wanted too, I know I'm just skimming the surface, along with everything else in XSI.

Yeah, I still haven't touched XSI's animation system yet (haven't really had any ideas for an animation). From what I've read though, it should be pretty sweet stuff.

Same here, I've seen, but I haven't touched. I'm to lazy to try to rig something for the first time anyway.
