baseman

arshlevon

okay dudes millions of emails and IMs have prompted me just to post this(even tho i think i did already sometime last year)

its baseman!!.. i use it for all models pretty much, my diablo model was started with a slightly modified version of this, oro, anarki, and all 2 thousand other things i havent finished. i tried to make a base that was fairly even in poly distribution as well as mostly square polies to keep the strokes nice and even. i know some people like to start with a little more, but if your just sketching around in zbrush or mudbox its nice just to have a blank canvas to doodle on. i also cut the head off for busts. sometimes i extrude out a poly or 2 for the nose. feel free to add whatever you want to make something that works for you..

nice basemesh, the body is great
I don't like the head though. The ears are to detailed, compared to the rest.

Davision3D

Thx a lot
Looking very good, only the pose seems not favourably.

arshlevon

well i have it rigged in max so i can pose it however i want. i just thought it would be better to post the obj so everyone could use it. i made the ears like that cause ears have a some funky shapes going on and the first 5 times i made this thing i never had enough res to model the ears at the same frequency as the rest of the model, both are an easy fix, the model is so low its very easy to edit to your liking.

I didn't write any e-mail to You , so ...
( but I had to do that ).

Seriously ,
that's nice from You and very good idea.
I didn't start yet work under ZBRUSH , but I'm going to learn the sculpting soon and be sure ,I will use Your model.

THANK YOU ARSHLEVON , Mr.cool one

The shoulder seems like it could use another loop. Other than that it seems pretty solid

It's always awsome when sombody does something nice and selfless like this and People have to chime in on what they don't like about it.
Thanks Arsh! I needed a good Base.

LordScottish

Thanks for releasing this! This is going to be my base for my first sculpting tries.

D4V1DC

Thanx arsh, I thought after the (h)arshness in the kitty thread you where turning sour on us.

Gonna try use this as some practice runs in zbrush & mudbox see which i get best results from before the war starts.

Cheers,
P.s. evry1 get drunk before the war.. yar!

We're a community of people...and artists...that's like double the amount of never being satisfied, haha.

Makkon

Ah, I think I'll grab this and see how you did it. I love your topology.
And do you mind if we post what we do with it here?

arshlevon

moved it up to the top

Makkon

You should do a basewoman now.

Xaltar

Sweet, thanks for the meshes. Mmm, opens up Zbrush and has another go at it

MoP

Very good of you to share these, Arsh. I might have a shot at sculpting that bust tonight

thefatladysings

you Arsh, gonna have some fun with these

Turoid

very nice mesh, going to sculpt right now!

Zcubed

Thanks for sharing, Arsh!

gavku

Cheers for this Arsh...always good to check out how someone else puts together their basemesh.

Slash

I've been meaning to make myself one of these for the longest time, thanks for sharing, i might just steal a few tricks from you!

arshlevon

you can steal the whole thing, its just a base mesh, i mean its not like putting this in your portfolio is going to do much for you, its gong to take work to make it into anything, i dont consider it art theft at all to use this on works in your game or portfolio. you have my full permission...

in other news looks like i have been put on the cutting block for my usual jackassary.. i know when i am ahead and i taking the bow. adios amigos! my site should be up soon, you can find me there.

adam

Or you could just not be a dick? Novel idea.

And thanks for the hook-up on the mesh. A lot of people should find it useful.

CopperHaze

Thanks dude! Cool base to work with. Much appreciated.

jgarland

Thanks for the mesh, Arsh. I'm sculpting a new head from it now.

What you posted was pretty fucked, and a lot of people are pissed, but that's no reason to stop coming to Polycount. People will calm down about it sooner or later. It's not like it was you that took the pictures.

Empty

Eh.. I think I missed something. What happened?


Thanks for the base Arsh.

Daz

Christ on a fucking motorbike I wish people would stfu about the cat crap. Polycount is so holier than thou its as tedious as watching paint dry. How about we keep it out of this thread and move the fuck on in life eh?

Looks like a solid base for a sculpting package Arsh. Should be a great place to point people that pimp meshes with obvious proportional and topological issues.

Xaltar

I just try and be objective about the art, If I blew a headgasket every time the stfu crap reared its head.... well, its just pointless. Its a great base mesh and I am going to have a lot of fun with it, again, thanks for sharing

jgarland

I was merely replying to Arsh's decision to stop coming to the forums because he feels alienated. I just don't think he should leave because of it.

The thread was pointless and needed to be deleted anyway. Arsh just made it happen sooner.

Michael Knubben

Cheers for the mesh arsch, should prove to be useful for those wanting to do a quick bust.
And jesus people, get off his case allready. If you'd at least posted a screenshot of his model chopped up in a bucket, that would've been amusing for all. This is just a lot worse than what arsch did.

Sa74n

thats the sleekest and coolest basemesh ive seen. the weight and proportions, pose and lineflow is excellent thanks for sharing it with everyone.

dom

Figured I'd chip in as well. Here's my basehead, uv unwrapped. Hope you guys find it useful. Enjoy

Whoa, we got another one thanx for this dom will come in handy for that super highpoly mudboxing I will try out in the morning hope to show some progress.

I think everyone's putting there results in the what are you working on thread!

unfluffybunny

conte

StJoris

A big thank you from me

Savage

IceWolve

I missed this when it was first posted

i want to play around with these. Maybe it will help me.

Miguelito

Hey the link doesnt work anymore. And I could use the mesh.
Arsh could u plz fix the link. Or could someone else post it plz

THX

edit: Ok the link seems to work. But the server is veeeeery slow at the moment.

arshlevon

yeah my host sucks ballz... you get what you pay for.. went with the cheapy hosting service.

spinal

Awsome thanx peeps, this will help allot.

Arkus

Thx a tone for this mesh!

As I'm learning Zbrush now I find it very usefull

Thx :* :* :*

EarthQuake

arsh: bluehost rocks and is like $7/month, way more bandwidth than you'll ever need too. 200 gigs space, 2,000 gigs per month, and they keep upping it, when i signed up it was like 400 gigs per month and 15 gigs space. No reason to get cheapy hosting.

snap.crackle.pop

Thanks to Dom & Arshlevon for the base meshes this will make a nice addition to my Portfolio.

culturedbum

Thanks ARSH!!!!! This basemesh is perfect IMO I been using another base mesh that I made and it worked out somewhat good but this is like candy.....Thanks again.

Crylar

Umm, really I can't get the link to work.
It's not like it's slow, it just doesn't give me the file I think it's supposed to.
Just clicking the link takes me to one of thouse typical "there used to be something here" sites.
I really would like to see this base model, since I'm trying to learn mudbox and from what I understand this i one good base to play around with.

Can anyone post it again?

East

I'm mirroring it here.

Crylar

Thanks a mill!

pliang

That's quality educational material you got there.

pior

Haha Crylar same here :P All you got is that backpack cutie picture right?

CJE

Don't mean to bring up a dead thread here, but...

Does anyone have a working link to Arsh's basemesh?

MoP

I've just had to clean up the old links from Dom and Arshlevon since my virus scanner was giving malicious website warnings when trying to load the embedded images.

I'm guessing that Arshlevon and Dom's website hosting expired and was never renewed, and their old domains are being squatted by some dodgy sites.
