Root Monster v2.

[haikalle]

Not again.... well I had a plan that I'm going to do something more human this time but. But I like monsters so much so one more monster and then

something else. This is early alpha stage. Right now there 0.4 mil triangles.

Hi haikalle! good project, good start, .... so me too I love monsters

[3d_sculptress]

hey, haikalle ....that's already lookin scary....great job.

[haikalle]

Thanks for the feedback. Well...Sometimes when I am sculpting I go a little bit crazy and and change my models shape. (with pose and move tools)

Trying to find inspiration. I did with this model and it turned like this. With this one, I only used Rapid tool(Suface) and sometimes I went back

to voxels and added a leg (using primitives tools). Current there is 3.1 mil triangles.

well looks like you've got a great base going for your character...but you're right...sometimes it's best to work without set boundaries, just let it go where it leads.

[digman]

Your charactor is really starting to take root.... LOL, Looking good there.

[Javis]

That's looking mighty fine, very Earthly.

[haikalle]

A small update. Now there is 8.3 mil triangles. While doing this I was thinking that it would be nice to have Symmetry copy with lasso tools.

Well..here it is.

[chris_solo]

very coOl !!! next up >

[haikalle]

Chris, thanks a lot. Here is turn around file if anyone want to check it out. It's divx codec.

My next goal is to remake arms. I hope I have something new to show soon.

Here is update. Right now there is 12 mil triangles. While doing this new ideas are coming so I will continue to add them.

[Taros]

Looks cool. But the beneath part needs some more attention. The legs looks a little bit "unfinished".

[haikalle]

Thanks Taros. I didn't see it at first but I totally agree with you about the legs. Something is missing there. I have to work with them a little bit more...

[artman]

Very nice character! Cool presence and personality!

Only need tweaking of the hips/belly region a little I think.(maybe thinner ? )

At 12mil its not easy to do some proportion tweaking with move brush.

But with a few undos you should be able to get it right.

(Or just make multiple saves or copies and choose your favorite.)

[haikalle]

Thanks Artman for the feedback. The idea behind of bigger belly is I wanted to make it fat. I tried with smaller belly

and it worked very well too. This is my final sculpt with voxel clay There is 17 mil triangles. There is still small things

to fix but I'm going to leave them for now and fix them while retopoly the sculpt. Next step is to take this beast to blender and Vray.

Let's see how it goes. I'm scared.

[haikalle]

Thanks Chris. I entered in the challenge. There is so many great work in the forum.

Wau... This is just huge. I love the new Ptex feature. HEre is small update where I tried to color monster upper body with Ptex.

And I really like the results. I would love to continue but I'm affraid that I'm loosing it because this is just beta stage...

[Taros]

Cool. You are ready with the retopo. Nice.

Show us some texture details.

Ooh! That looks very cool.

[haikalle]

Here is a closer look.

Taros, I used auto retopoly option, because I don't have plans to animate this. So it was quick and easy.

[Taros]

Nice.

[spacepainter]

Great texture! Did you paint it or is it a photo ??

[haikalle]

Hi Spacepainter, This is from photo. I used one picture about rough rocks. I filled hole model with that material at first and then I started to use

3d-coat tools like "clone tools" to shape it better.

[haikalle]

Here is small update again. Because of new proxy system, I was able to re-pose this sculpt and continue to work with this scultp, after a big break. There is still something odd with render engine. I'm not able to get nice pictures if you use larger image size. (bigger than your screen.) If someone can show the steps how to do it that would be great.

[michalis]

I like this very much, I can't imagine how many polys are here.

Well, well done, You can convert this to multi res model in blender you know.

Impressive

About render sizes. What's the problem?

I usually ask for a custom ~1000x1000 and then go for 2x or 3x. And don't forget to name and assign the path first. Warning! after the rendering, assign a different name because 3dc will overwrite the next render.

[haikalle]

Michalis, All the settings are there. But it dosen't work. For example give me one frame image (large resolution image).

There is 30mil triangles right now.

[michalis]

the mac version can't handle 30mil, I can't test the renderer. Maybe out of RAM?

For a 5mil model it works (last build)

Update: it works fine for 20mil, I just checked it.
