It's fairly early on in the sculpting process but I'd like to get an idea of how I'm managing to capture the likeness sofar - if at all. And feedback appreciated.
In the past 2 weeks I've started working on smaller props that will be populating the place to add more life and feel more "homey" (eventually with some changes like glasses/salt shakers spilled or broken) Napkin holder and cup Ketchup/mustard bottle with drink menu Not quite sure what this is (I believe it's for sauce)…
From what I experienced the surface characteristics of the various Intuos models evolved a lot over the different releases. Intous 2 (and 1 ?) tablets have a rather thick layer of soft transparent plastic, floating on top of the hollow casing holding the guts of the tablet, which makes the device feel very soft and almost…

So I guess it's just an option for if someone needs to export to max or something that expects maxlike smoothing groups. //There are two kinds of smoothing info: //1. Smoothing groups info which is saved by polygon. It…
DarthNater: Thanks, will do! chaosquack: Thanks! moose: Much appreciated man! You've been a great help. I agree 100%. The flavor / soft texture is what I'm really shooting for.

There may be some drawbacks to doing it, especially if you need to make LODs. Generally with organic shapes, you'll get more issues with…
almighty_gir: I think the body is coming along nicely, but the head needs work. If you're really going for a classical aesthetic - and I very much applaud that! - a bit more reference is needed. Wikimedia's page on Aphrodite is very useful. Here's a good picture. A couple of things I note: big, round eyes. The brows follow…
