MoP · May 2010

Here's a quick look at what's being shown off in other 3D communities...

Olivier Couston & Christophe Desse's Mini Iron Man
Alex Huguet's Beast Dude
Juan Elias' Batman Redesign

Full info and links after the jump!

Now, some of you might have seen these before since they've been up and about for a day or two, but for everyone else who might have missed them, go check them out for some kickass character art inspiration!

3DTotal

Olivier Couston and Christophe Desse have put together a fantastic little rendering of a Mini Iron Man which blends cartoony proportions with realistic materials to excellent effect!

CGTalk

Alex Huguet has sculpted a fairly magnificent (and NSFW!) beast, which he's posted up over at CGTalk. Warning, the images contain graphic depictions of monster penis!

ZBrushCentral

Juan Elias has created a very interesting redesign of Batman using ZBrush, it has plenty of details and is expertly presented. It even has lens flare! Go and check it out on ZBrushCentral now!

Now that these guys have given you a bit of an inspiration kick, why not have a shot at some of your own character sculpting? SculpTris is free, after all...

Thanks for putting this up MoP! I am really enjoying the news section of the site. It can be difficult sometimes to get around to all the sites and keep up with everything, and this is turning out to be a great "keep up to date" resource section

That Iron Man is awesome! The texture weathering is a tad overboard with every single edge weathered down to bare metal, which is not very logical and results in too much noise, but the modeling is sick!
The beast sculpt is kick-ass per usual from Alex. His work is always very strong.
The batman, meh, while the redesign IS interesting, there are many decisions that I personally think should have been re-evaluated, especially in terms of proportions. Superhero or not, the head is drastically tiny, and for the fabric to be as loose as it is intended, triceps would never show through. If it was skin tight, maybe some superficial detail, but more form than anything.

Yep, we're hoping to have some sort of "weekly round-up" post for Fridays, which will give people something to look at as their weekend starts, without trawling through all the separate forums and websites themselves - we'll just find the pick of the bunch and link them up here!

+1 to what Firebert said, it's defiantly nice to be up to date with some of the cooler things being made / happening.

The batman one was a little meh for me too, overall though I think it looks pretty cool, but its the face and hands / wrists that are irking me a bit.

Either way, awesome to see art from other communities, I haven't visited Threedy in so long, forum is looking sexy.
