hi. I’m preparing an article on wings 3d for a linux magazine and I believe I saw many talented blender heads using wings and making really impressive artwork… … I would really appreciate sugestions, links to reviews, screenshots and models that you might allow me to make screenshots with…
thanks in advance
In case you use them for the magazine article (What’s the name of the mag? can be bought in Europe? ) , please I’m the author of all bellow, so, put author: “Extrudeface from Elysiun.com forums” )yup, kind of shy when about putting my real life name…
All is fully modeled in Wings3d. It’s been uv mapped though generally in Ultimate Unwrap. Now Uv mapping in wings is quite more powerful, but I have some passion about that U. Unwrap thing…
An space ship. Was gonna be for a kindof space ships real time game…Some areas are not fully detailed in texturing, but hey. Like 2,000 triangles, if I remember well (lazy to go and find the obj now…)
Some stuff done for per pay model. Finally I gave for free.Is for games, today is low pol, only 1800 triangles.Non mapped, so, neither textured.
A wip. This is high res count. A kind of exercise for fun, for testing my ability to detail in wings. Only head achieved some detail, lol. I have no kind of destiny for this model, so, I left standby it for better times.
A quick model done for a game comunity.Free. ~2,000 tris.
Same here. Uv mapped and only started texture. like about 2k tris, too.
heh. Some stuff for a western film like mod.
Sorry, finally I prefer not to show stuff -even from dead companies- that i did using Wings in videogames companies. Is more worked out stuff, and while I could show, I prefer not.So, all above is stuff done in free time, wit not much purpose of ending or serious level.
Is not a defense of Wings against Blender or nothing. Is my free modeler(well, my chosen modeler, by all means) of choice, while Blender is my preferred free animator. (and getting really good lately)
I have used and use Wings3d every day in production environments.
Just tell us the name of the mag (if you cannot for now,(till published) please, PM me with the name… )
(oh, and if gonna use them for teh mag article, grab the pics now, as I tend to delete this stuff very fast and frequently)
– Edit: You can click to grab the bigger size images, not just the thumbnails…
thank you very much! the magazine is called MyLinux. The official website is http://www.myl.ro and for a few higher res covers: http://www.ixaarii.com/elysiun/magazines/
There would be a problem with the name: I probably can’t use it in that form. Your name would go under the images… and it woudl
a) be too long “Extrudeface from Elysiun.com forums”, particularly coupled with artwork name (hope file names express it?)
b) though me beign an old blender fan I might slip in Elysiun in this article too (mentioned it in previous blender article) … I probably wouldn’t be accepted to post a website link like that under an image (particularly under 2 or more) since it would look too much like advertisement or something
thank you very much! really appreciate the help and thumbs up for your creations. sorry you cna’t give me any comercial quality/final works to better represent wings… but of course I understand.
thanks!!!

Cool thing ! 
hey, is the printed magazine it sold in Spain ? I’d buy the issue where your article of Wings3d will be published…
heh, I have several linux users(I can manage with it, too, and I like it) very friend of mine that would love to hear about a Linux mag sold here; maybe they know already.
There would be a problem with the name: I probably can’t use it in that form. Your name would go under the images… and it woudl
Yep, and is not very correct from my part. I will PM you now with my full real name to be put bellow the images. It’s better, anyway
I just want to avoid my name posted in any public forum(or any online thing, anyway), that’s why I will send that data to you by this forum PM.
a) be too long “Extrudeface from Elysiun.com forums”, particularly coupled with artwork name (hope file names express it?)
I’ll put you a name for each, better than those random file names
And I will care for it being short, so you don’t have problems.
b) though me beign an old blender fan I might slip in Elysiun in this article too (mentioned it in previous blender article) … I probably wouldn’t be accepted to post a website link like that under an image (particularly under 2 or more) since it would look too much like advertisement or something
Hmm…I see. If it’s finally posted also at Elysiun…Well, enough if you put “Extrudeface” (“from this forum” or “from this comunity” addon would be better.You wouldn’t need to put with every image, only Extrudeface, but somewhere, in the first one, or at some paragraph that I’m from this forum…If not, just put Extrudeface) for tha online version of the article.
Would it means problems for you if the printed mag has got my name, while elysiun article only my nick? …well, we can talk about it by PM 
thank you very much! really appreciate the help and thumbs up for your creations. sorry you cna’t give me any comercial quality/final works to better represent wings… but of course I understand.
Well, is more for caring for the companies, anyway, they’re too much about real time games, and show more of my texturing than modelling, which is my main thing with Wings, I texture with other things.
I will send you a PM with my real name, and the names you can put if you want to the images (lol, are more hobby exercises, I never put names to this stuff, but i’ll write down for you some very short ones )
thanks!!!
Thanks to you
Check your PM
hey?
thank you very much for everything! sorry for slow reply… bit of late with articles and stuff… and since me has the habbit of writign about multimedia software (wings, sharpconstruct and issue 4 of my gimp series of tutorials in the issue I’m working on now besides my other articles) that should need months of research and not days … 
… well… you know…
I don’t think the magazine can be obtained in spain. Also since I’m workign in advance issues it means the wings issue would only be out in like 1-2 months.
I got your pm: thank you so very much for all your help. It’s really appreciated. Wish you lived around here so you could get a copy when it was done
Images will probably get crediting in the form of “artwork name - your name” so I don’t know where/how I would mention “Extrudeface”.
greets & awesome meeting you!
hehe, phew, was starting to be worried.
Is really nice that someone writes about Wings3d.
I’ll be sure to try to order from here a magazine of your country, will see if there’s a possibility 
Will wait the two months to check it, though
[ about my name, I only meant, please avoid putting my full name (only the first word, if really, really needed to put online) on an online place (like you said in an elysiun article…) .Call it paranoia, but been paranoid too many years… 
In the printed one, my full name, as we said Was saying extrudeface for the online article. ]
Nice bunch of open source graphic tools articles…
Well, great to meet you too…
I’ll check that in 1 or two months
Oh, please, grab the big images if you didn’t already, as I may delete them soon… I tend to do so
Happy writting !
