Dear Pete,

How about a gargoyle or the Green Man for those who like to model historic buildings.

Solo, one step important in using subdivide & smooth is create the model bigger than usual or create many edges for the model? Could you don't mind to upload more detail tutorial from here? I really want to get the complicated model skill for my self

awsome stuff Pete!

Hi Pete,

Fantastic quality.
But it's scary how quick you can produce these!

Please my see my request attached.

Regards
Mr S

Hi Solo,

i'm wondering, how many pictures do you use to create them?
I mean, i just see one picture in the request, do you go and look for a lot of pictures of the same cartoon from different points of view or do you just use one?

solo · 12 Jan 2009, 18:08

Thanks again guys.

Mr S, it's been a long time since I made a character, one gets rusty when one does not practice.
However I should get a moment later to give it a go (putting myself on the spot here)

fenS, well that depends on the character, I would normally search the net for at least two, a front and a side view, it does not have to be the same image from two views but rather images that I can use to model correctly.

I'm always up for a challenge, here you go, took 3 hours plus some change. A little heavy on the poly's due to the SDS meshing but overal I am satisfied.

Line and SU output, I may render it later

cheffey · 12 Jan 2009, 22:17

There you go walking on water again! Amazing work and in an incredibly short timeframe. It would take me 3 hours to model the handgun.

solo · 12 Jan 2009, 22:45

Thanks cheffey, most of it is symetrically repeated components.
This is cool, I altered some cel textures to make them cartoonish, I think it works great.
