Javis Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Nice work and congratulations Frederic! That's a great piece. Thank you for the kind comments. I'm happy to finish this robot on time; but still I always fail rigging properly the model. This is where I always lose against laziness... No animation handles, no constraints, only bones and a smooth bind skin to give it a pose... I bought Chris Maraffi great book a long time ago, but never managed to integrate its concepts in practice. Anyway. I tried to promote a bit 3dCoat on 3D Squirrel's forum during that contest by talking about the sculpt techniques. 3D Squirrel's community is really friendly. I hope some people will join us here in the future. A big thanks to Carlosan for having taught me about this contest. When he gave me the info about it, I was really tired by the work at the company and hesitating a lot about getting involved in this contest. But he pushed me a bit, and now I'm really thankful for that. I would have done nothing without him! Here are the two last shots of the robot. I'll also put them in the finished work gallery.

Advanced Member Garagarape Posted February 13, 2015 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Starting a new thing. This time I'll try to use something else than booleans. Probably LC brushes that I don't know well enough + a test with PBR materials at the end of the pipeline. A little ridiculous for the moment.

Advanced Member Garagarape Posted February 15, 2015 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Little progress on the helmet: That's silly. I can't help putting the model back in voxel mode after a "Vox Extrude"... Probably because I prefer voxels when it comes to merging layers. Bad habits. I'll test more LC brushes on fabric parts, cloth, belt and non rigid surfaces. The aim is to learn something, but I'm not comfortable with surface mode at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor Tony Nemo Posted February 15, 2015 Contributor Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Very fanciful! It would fit well in a "Little Nemo in Slumberland" strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member Garagarape Posted February 15, 2015 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Ha ha! Yes, I know little Nemo. But didn't have it in mind when starting this sculpt. This helmet is inspired from those used between 1814 and 1830 in France by the King's guards. I like Little Nemo though. That's an old comic, but has still something special to bring you to a trip to wonderland.... huh I mean Slumberland (?) if I remember well. Have a good day!

Contributor Tony Nemo Posted February 16, 2015 Contributor Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 If you know Winsor McKay's work, it's in your imagination. He was an 'animator' with his "Dino the Dinosaur" and alive today, he would be doing it with Maya and 3D-Coat. The individual frames in his comic strip captured the character's movement of what went before in a very film like sequence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not worry about going back to voxels, I do it all the time.. LC or surface mode is great but nothing beats voxels for worry free sculpting plus you do not need 60 millions voxels to get a nice sculpt. Readable form as you know is first, the ice cream comes later... LOL... Edited February 16, 2015 by digman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Garagarape Posted February 16, 2015 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Tony, Digman, Thanks! There's also good drawings of Moebius who once wanted to revive Little Nemo: His version of the well known "bed scene" (no pornography in that): About the metod: Yes, I'm just a bit disappointed to always go back to the same method. But I just can't get clean shapes by hand sculpting hard surface places even with the "lazy mouse" option on. Even with the interpolation of a long stoke move I often get irregularity in thin parts or edges borders. I don't know if it's the lack of training. A completely organic character would be better to test the LC brush workflow. I'll try on cloth parts if I can. Yes, the ice cream, the coating comes later, as you said. But I guess knowing better the surface mode workflow would help me to push the limits of my pc. Well, pleasure first! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member Garagarape Posted February 21, 2015 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 No Tony, the cloth is a part of the concept, to make the character more mysterious (like she's protecting herself from sand storm). The happening idea is good though. Why not. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
