Advanced Member Garagarape Posted November 17, 2010 Advanced Member Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Nice work on the second character too. The baking has worked well. Can't see much difference with the sculpt. 1750 tris, that's very few! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member michalis Posted November 17, 2010 Advanced Member Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Nice decimation. You could use 100-200 more faces for the hair. But its OK. Great character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor LJB Posted November 17, 2010 Author Contributor Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Nice decimation. You could use 100-200 more faces for the hair. But its OK. Great character.

Applink Developer haikalle Posted November 17, 2010 Applink Developer Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Nice. One small thing is to make happy face lines on shirt a little bit stronger. Now the lines are a litte bit weak. Or style it diffrently. But everything else is just wonderful. Your sketchbook is full of great art.

Contributor LJB Posted December 1, 2010 Author Contributor Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 I love your model in this video LJB, very Huantes-que, nice flowing shapes and elegant design. I would love to see more like this from you, it gots me motivated for more 3dcoat sessions Excellent Thank you for the words. 3D Coat inspires me with these creatures, in ways zbrush fails to do, and its just so much nicer feeling. Glad to push you forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contributor LJB Posted December 17, 2010 Author Contributor Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Thank you all for the comments, much much much appreciated. Slink is now Finished, But no images for now, Have to wait on those till things drop. I am going to start focusing on Scary-Monsters Workshops, Free training workshops for 3D-Coat and various other softwares (Maya, Max, Softimage are all lacking in good training base, advanced ZBrush, MudBox, Blender etc) I already have interest from artists who wish to collaberate in our workshops and think it would be a good idea to put this out there for others who may wish the same, so If anyone here feels they have top notch original production related content and wants some free publicity, and wishes to collaborate then please drop me a mail HERE We are looking for Interesting modular training that covers advanced aspects of each of the softwares in question. specific requirements will be supplied to successful candidates. Along side our workshops we wish to setup a competitve Virtual Studio where we will undertake comissioned projects. In working this way we hope to highlight the more complex areas, and bottlenecks of current pipelines and show students and professionals alike ways around these grey areas. making this a truly production oriented training site. Any way enough Pimping!! I want to take a turn at sculpting out some celeb or recognisable face see if i can nail liknesses, its so tricky I'm much inspried lately by Beatkitano's, Jake Hempsons's and Michallis' threads, and very much so by the work Scott Patton did on 'Avatar' and 'Terminator Salvation' so I hope to do that inspiration justice. Edited cos when reading back my comment sounded pompous. Not ment that way at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor LJB Posted December 29, 2010 Author Contributor Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 First chance I have had to sit and sculpt for fun for a little while. Slow progress on this I hope at least a likeness is there. I know its very much an Eye of the beholder thing when it comes to a likeness. Anyway heres what i have so far. Im getting there Not happy yet. thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contributor LJB Posted December 29, 2010 Author Contributor Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Hello from France. Is it Harvey K ? Nice sculpt so far! Yay you made my morning!!! Well its supposed to be him yes but I had a couple of bad guesses so far. Somebody said Russel Crowe and though i dont personally see the Russel C likeness myself, I do realise a Likeness in sculpts is all to often in the eye of the artist alone? Well big thanks to both you and digiman Merry C and happy new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor Tinker Posted December 29, 2010 Contributor Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 I just love this purple creature. It's awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor LJB Posted December 29, 2010 Author Contributor Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Thanks Tinker, I'd say its like 90% 3d coat, but to be fair I could have and should have stuck with 3d coat, at the time ZBrush was to me preferable but Im finding perfomance and features in 3d coat more and more accessable with each update. I dont really want to use anything else right now. ZBrush is ZBrush and will always have a place in my workflow but isnt it nice to work with tools that inspire new interesting workflows. Im so happy with things here with 3DC right now. Great stuff happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well big thanks to both you and digiman Merry C and happy new year. Happy new year to you. That was obvious that you sculpted Harvey Keitel. Anyone who knows this actor would have guess I can't wait to try similar work, but must wait until I go back to Japan. It's always a pleasure to have a look at your work. It helps waiting 3d work time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps waiting 3d work time. Thanks I lost a little motivation in my friend HK cos I only have my laptrop to work on at the moment and 3d perfomance in 3d coat not so good, and i feel a little constrained. Plus the google ref i had was from many different periods and I can decide on a hairstyle that looks good enough. Probably more so the latter. I have a break and come back to him later see if i can find it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor LJB Posted January 5, 2011 Author Contributor Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Update with a bit of color and specular. A bit of hand painting very rough. not really planning to take him any further. Maybe I'll go back to him later. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
