Advanced Member kenmo Posted March 10, 2017 Advanced Member Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) Here's a starship model I created. The base mesh was created in Groboto3D. Additional parts I modeled in Wings3D and Hexagon. All the pieces were assembled using Hexagon3D. I tried using 3DCoat and later Silo3D. But I find Hexagon3D is so much more precise for assembling parts on a model due to the fact I can manual enter in the x,y, z positions and rotation with numerical values via the keyboard. I think the same thing can be done in Silo3D. I initially created this model a couple of years ago. But the base mesh close to 800,000 polys. I tried to retopo but gave up (too much work and not a very frustrating experience). I then tried decimating the model in 3DC's sculpt room. But it messed up the topology and the edge flow. So I then brought into Hexagon and manually reduced the polygons. For me, it seemed to work better and was so much more faster then retoping... It's now about 360,000 polys. I now need to uv map and texture. Edited March 10, 2017 by kenmo spelling 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member kenmo Posted March 29, 2017 Author Advanced Member Share Posted March 29, 2017 I got a little bored of 3D work and decided to take the 3DC base render into Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 and Corel Painter 2017 with the intent of creating a comic book illustrative look. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member kenmo Posted April 1, 2017 Author Advanced Member Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) A base render from 3DC with some minor color correction via Photoshop CC 2017 and Topaz Adjust 5 plugin for PS... I raised the front wing as I thought the prior version looked like the ship had a boomerang or fat tongue in it's mouth...

Advanced Member kenmo Posted April 16, 2017 Author Advanced Member Share Posted April 16, 2017 A steam locomotive created from a blueprint in my mind using Groboto3D. Further details will be added using a 30 day trial of MOI3D and perhaps Silo3D... UV mapping and texturing will be done in 3DC... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member kenmo Posted April 27, 2017 Author Advanced Member Share Posted April 27, 2017 Thanks for the comment... I'm not very well versed in retoping. I find it the most difficult thing to do in 3DC... :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member kenmo Posted February 19, 2018 Author Advanced Member Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) For the most part I do not retopo my models (unless I am going to use them in a Vue or DAZ3D/Poser render). I much prefer to do a base render in 3DC then use Painter/ArtRage or Photoshop to give the render a NPR look. Perhaps in the future 3DCoat may have a NPR render option? Another one of my futuristic skycars/spacerods influenced by Heavy Metal magazine and the art of Moebius (aka Jean Giraud). This skycar is my idea of a future sportscar or hot rod. The vehicle starting to show it's wear and usage. Part of the propulsion system is sticking out of the front hood and reminds the viewer of hot rods of the past, that had superchargers and blowers poking out of their engine bonnets.

Advanced Member kenmo Posted February 19, 2018 Author Advanced Member Share Posted February 19, 2018 Here is a Vue render where I used DAZ3D characters and the same process as above to give the Vue render a NPR look. Influenced by the art and story telling of legendary cartoonist Will Eisner.
