samhell, shameless! Wink - welcome to the club Smile - vehicle concepts are still
beyond me, kudos...

same for armour but think I found a workaround (below; design help from Halo,
obviously): might be easier (at least for me) to do basic shape in sculptris,
then build the elements in sketchup/blender (where precision is a restriction)...



don't like the updated sculptris (went back to original version) tho paint
actually *works* in the new one (new toy!)... Smile

Tomasis, excuses excuses... Very Happy

I took some photos of an old power transformer behind my building.

Most of the time here was spent fixing the photos into a texture image, so not much artistic stuff really.

I had to do some reconstruction of areas behind grass and concrete, cloning.
It was a cloudy day and that box has been taunting me for several years.
Overcast sky is best for pictures.
Its 42 inches tall.

This box has been sitting outside for 37 years, the yellow is pine tree pollen buildup.

Screen shots from Lightwave.

Nice texture, Tzan (something I haven't tackled yet).

Stage one, done (basic components):

Tzan, that works very well, nice texture work. Smile

durgl, Wow inspirational stuff for sure, you're really good. Smile I have started to try out some technical sculpting too inspired by you. Hard to get clean lines in sculptris though....


A rough concept for a Roman Carrier, was thinking steampunk I think. lol.

Raytoh, thanks man. Smile You do any 3d?

durgl, appreciate it, thanks. Smile gonna be interesting to follow the progress of this halo character. Looks great already.
How many triangles does your computer support? I have trouble at 500 000 already, only have 4 GB Ram on my laptop.... Embarassed

whom, I've got 4GB too but gets laggy at about 200,000 faces (this particular
machine). Solved that by reducing the figure and working the armour in
sections (below). Bottom square is 'registration mark' (for matching in
sketchup/blender).



Have glanced at halo stuff but don't want it to be a 'halo character' (bit more
digging I see it could be a motocross helmet too, etc.). Aiming for Patel Grand,
hope to make something original. Smile

Tricky stuff, thicker legs shortens them (messes with proportions), etc. - we'll
see what happens. Smile

They released the test version Blender 2.63, hmm think I will wait cause usually those test versions are really unstable.
Looking at the pic in this link makes me even more excited about Bmesh, wow. Smile

durgl, yea reducing seem to be a neat trick when sculpting bigger shapes. Ahh a character for patel grand, cool. Smile

Darn... internet and Sijun are great and all, but sometimes I just wish it would be possible to sit around the same table (with plenty of beer) with all the guys and gals of Sijun and really share and learn from all the knowledge here... *sigh*

@Tzan: As far as I can tell, that looks like a ready game asset. I love the worn look of the textures!

@durgldeep: How's the suit coming along?

@whom: Can I ask you a favor? Please finish that flying creature, for I think it is some of the most refreshing (and CREEPY) creature designs I've seen in a long looong time. Another pair of spikey appendages or praying mantis style main "hands" might make that creature look really nasty.

*phew* 4 day break coming from work thanks to easter, that means more time to paint & create. ^___^

samhell, thanks very kind. Smile Yea you know that would be cool to share a few beers in the future. Regarding that sculpt, I don't save them but only the screenshot. Mostly practise for now to get comfortable with sculpting. Twisted Evil Appreciate the comment. Smile
Do you sculpt?


Had a few beers tonight, hence the marathon.

Samhell
Yeah its a game thing.
I made a specular map and a normal map, then put it into Unity and it looks good.

Normal map seems like a waste of time, but good practice.

whom nice, very ornate...

samhell it's coming slowly (got sidetracked into another project)...

step two: import into blender or sketchup and start 'tracing' shapes...



interesting coincidence (samhell):

durgldeep, that is exactly what I'm talking/ranting about! Smile

I guess my problem is that the older I seem to get the faster time flies by. That also brings the problem of trying to find all the time to do and learn what one wants. Confused

As Whom mentioned sculpting, I'm starting to get really interested in it. Especially after seeing all the amazing stuff you guys come up with, but I just don't have the time or rather I don't dare to get sidetracked too much from what I still have to learn about painting... and there's a lot. Rolling Eyes

And I guess what I was also trying to say earlier was that, instead of only communicating over the internet, it would be really cool every once in a while to meet up IRL, especially when starting to learn something new, like for example sculpting or 3D skills. Instead of starting from square 1 and piecing it together alone.

But I'm really happy that we have Sijun to help us in sharing and showcasing knowledge. Without it, I'd be miserable. Very Happy

Sorry for the long rant. I'll get me coat now. Embarassed

whom> Super rusty. Haa. Then again i should say. I think i forgot alot of the stuff already. I think if i try, i can still use the basic function. Anything too extensive or indepth, I don't think i can rememeber. I need a refresher course. Haa. 3D max trained but haven't really touch it for a long time. Been thinking of trying out zbrush or sketchup but haven't really get into it. Maybe when i have time. Haa. Razz

samhell re internet versus real life, group chat might be a useful middle
ground: real time access to anyone's knowledge (possibly 24/7?)...

currently I spend a lot of time in an atheist site; group chat is always open
while I'm working on 3D stuff - but they're clueless about 3D... Evil or Very Mad

if we could find a group chat that's accessible to everyone, I'd much rather
keep one eye on that and offer and learn what I can (including 'moral support')...

my thoughts; would be glad to hear others... Smile

Just to show that I still remember to make a post with pictures too... Smile



This is again for the new chapters of Genesis. It is going slow, but still moving forward. Wink

@durgldeep: Hmm, that might be a good idea. I was thinking about making a thread here for technical questions, but I think that is overdoing it a bit. I think I'll try to learn to use the private messaging here more. Especially if I ever find time for sculpting Very Happy

Thanks Whom, though I think I use beveling wayyyyy to much when I need to create details. I blame the hurry. Rolling Eyes

I probably sound like a broken record, but I really dig those creaturesculpts you are making Whom. The previous sculpt has a ridiculous Franz Kafka-ish vibe to it. Awesome!

Here's a mysterious update, about 70% done and then I can carry on with other things.

samhell, lol guess I am starting to sound like one too, thanks. Cool ship. Smile

I have tried to start some speed sculpt sessions over at Cgscociety together with ordinary speed sessions, hmm doesn't seem to go that well.
Anyway, I have been starting to experiment with bump and color on the speed sculpts.
Still waiting for the next Blender version, 2.63, they have promised in the next coming days.
I will post update here when it comes.....

This one became a bit dark...

whom I like that critter Smile

samhell ur ship reminded me I wanted to try asteroids - first go (bit of a
pancake but oh well):



tweak in SU will sharpen the rocky edges - I thought manually adjusting
vertexes in SU was a mad idea but it goes pretty fast (tested on another
ojbect)...

Wow, those look great. Have you tried texturing them yet?

And seeing those asteroids makes me think, that we should really jump on the whole
asteroid mining bandwagon and do some sort of collaborative piece about the subject someday. Cool

Thanks. Re texturing, I stick to 'vertex paint' (directly on the model), which is a
waste of time in Sculptris (can't export it). Have experimented with blending
colours in SU (long story), I think this will work for the asteroid (btw that's a
single model, above; was surprised it looks so different from the various angles
(tho partly due to irregular sizing)).

Cool re asteroid mining. Let me know what you have in mind (whenever). Smile

durgldeep. thankx. Smile


I guess you guys noticed that they released Bmesh som week ago. Been experimenting with it and I gotta say that at first glance I hated it, though starting to get used to it now.
You still have to attach the vertices to a line for it to blend better with the mesh, didn't understand that at first....
Hmm anyway I think I will get used to this if I keep going with it.

an experiment

whom, it looks different than earlier. it helps you define more "edgy" ? Razz

what do you suggest to play with sculpture? similarly to zbrush when I want able to do both edgy and organic :p
