I'll usually use basic extrusion modeling to flesh out my volumes and "rough" the model into the general structure I'm looking for. Then I'll do a pass to add more geometry to the areas that I know will need it. (head, hands, etc...) Then I start throwing on subdivision levels and sculpting as I go. Once I've got the…
Thanks for the great feedback PIXELPATRON, lots of good stuff that I'll take under consideration! *Addendum to original response* Now that I have a bit of time to properly respond... I'm not sure why my website wouldn't load up for you, with or without the www it should work just fine so yeah, file that under strange?…
[ QUOTE ] but being able to draw in no way automatically grants you a gifted ability to do virtual sculpture and certainly doesn't give you the right to look snobishly on people who've chosen that particular aspect of art over drawing. [/ QUOTE ] Bodyrott is the best character artist i know, and he doesn't draw at all. I…
Tea, you may have helped me speed up my sculpting of my own Canyon for my side project. I've been looking to capture some of the photo textures height information that I grabbed off cgtextures to be able to sculpt within Mudbox. I'm not a very good sculpture so this will help give me that realism without hours of toil.…
of course they have more loops, they also have finer definition, its based on an antique sculpture they just don't have as much definition in the knee. just look at the final image, do you recognize the mesh, no? then its all good. even for games if you have individual toes (or lets say fingers). they are far more detailed…
great start! I think the brows and the lips need to be a little more sharp/pointy. right now they are just too round compared to the concept. does that make sence or did i explain that bad? EDIT: if it were a physical clay sculpture, i would pinch the two with my fingers. with one finger on top of the brow, one on the…
[ QUOTE ] Specifically, there are two factors may be the cause: the loss of apprenticeships in most industries and the shift in mindset of students (American in particular)who demand to be treated not as students, but as paying customers, entitled to the services they want. [/ QUOTE ] I've seen this in my school, they get…
Hey yea I followed the Tom Newbury tutorial, but I made all the assets and sculpture myself. I think in his model he used in the tutorial though, he had the eye holes closed in the geometry, yet still didn't have this type of problem. So you think the eyebag being closed isn't the problem, but just that it's set too far…
I don't plan on redoing the elephant. I may change a few things or improve him, but I'm not planning on starting over. I've already done research on persian sculptures and statues, but none of them really appealed to me or wouldn't showcase as well (like the huma bird). I took inspiration from what's left of persia, iran,…
