Thanks everybody!

That was the little hour of glory, that happens every fourty years :)

I wish they published all the part about 3dCoat, but they probably

had to shrink it down a bit to fit the format.

Back to learning now.

I can't wait to finish the character with the helmet but first

I have to finish another contest (3d Squirrel "Outpost contest") until May.

Thanks Tony. I've been away for a while and only noticed your message today. Sorry.

 

I mentioned I've used 3DCoat to create this little scenery, but failed to take the first prize this time :)

Anyway, here is the interview:

Awesome, Frederick! Please do accept my congratulations!

Your outpost reminds me of a reverse side of toys' cardboards (StarCom, Star Wars, GI Joe, etc.), where you had photographs of all available characters, equipment, vehicles and, especially, structures that everyone wanted to have, but the allowance was always way too low to afford them. :D

Good times. :)

 

P.S. How long did it take you to create this scene, from start to the final version?

ajz3d, yes you're right. It looks a bit like a toy box picture (Zoids? Robotix?).

Thank you for your kind words.

It took 2 months, but working on it only during spare time (one hour here, one hour there).

Cheers!

Long live to 3dCoat!

Currently upgrading to V4.7.

Sorry to be away for so long. Almost 2 years!

too busy at work and at rugby games. But alive and kicking :)

Now that I've upgraded, I have to sculpt something.

Many great works in the Gallery --> Keeps the motivation up.

I miss the green and black website design, though. But will get used to the

clean white and blue.

Cheers!

Good to see you back. By the way, you can change the them color at the very bottom center of the page. Darker theme is much easier on the eyes....literally.

Hey...good to hear from you again buddy!  I too have been away from 3DC for too long. Need to catch up on what has changed. Noticed the Autopo has been improved a lot and looking forward to seeing QuadPaint develop.

No great improve today, despite a lot of time spent on it.

Separate boots from the legs to make the work easier.

Too much time lost switching from a material to another...

Can't find the best compromise between a harsh lighting that

stress out the imperfections of the model, and something kind to the eyes.

Have to check more combinations of environment map lighting and materials.

Boots refined. Next step, refining the arms. Something went wrong with them. RaaaaH! It's a 3dCoat bug, noooo! :)

Listening to "Don't fear the ripper" right know. Which band was that?

wanted to "chat" a bit more

Thanks Tony! Long time not seen.
I missed an occasion to meet 3dCoat members for real
during my trip to USA. Anyway, one week in South Carolina
was not enough to explore other places. I hope that you, David
and all the veteran friends are doing good.
I'll try to be more active here. Time is like toothpaste, there's always
a few left if you make the effort to put it out (my former Chinese teacher formula, that is not totally true I guess) :)
Take care!
