Great work as always Pete.
It seems Bart has gained a few pounds

Tintin

Marvin the Martian.
I am almost complete with the entire Looney tunes characters.
-
Haha... I think it is 'Marvin' Pete, not 'Mervin' and these are great!
-
lol, you are right.
I edited my original post

Dang it. I started working on Marvin last week and have not had a chance to finish him. No point in posting it up now.
Great work!!!

SOLO,
Are all yours cartoons done with the Artisan plugin only? Nice work and you are the master of the plugin.All the best to you,

James,
There are some made with Artisan and the balance with SDS (previous version), SDS was great, but Artisan has so many new tools that making characters is now easier and faster than ever.
Without Dale's (whaat) tools these would be almost impossible. (okay, Blender may be done without it)
-
Brilliant work Pete. I don't know what to say!
Is it possible to animate these? Put 'bones' in them?
-
-
I dunno Pilou, I'm yet to find an app that can import a SU model and interpret the chaotic mesh in order to insert bones and joints without almost having to redo the entire thing.
-
That's a very useful answer. Thanks.
(stops me being lead up that garden path, rather than a better one!)I've got Blender and Cheetah3D, which both do bones (but would rather use my fave modelling app
). I found this site trawling through loads of stuff about Unity. I don't know whether SketchUp would work though. If anyone has had success, please let me know.

Tom,
I've looked at Mixamo before and it supports a wide range of formats, Sketchup is not one of them unfortunately. Sketchup mesh is to messed up IMO for any app to use.
-
Wow! That Messiah software looks amazing! I'm trying to figure out the catch though?
$40 for the pro version, but you can't have a copy if they don't reach their goal?
-
Okay Pete, thanks for your reply. That's good to know.
I've got to model (or find someone who will model) a whole load of characters from the victorian period. But I haven't a clue where to start.
-
I'd suggest Poser or Daz, quick and easy with period appropriate outfits available from their stores.
Unless you need to import them into SU that is.
