"thanks orgelf.
Your thread is amazing but everytime I visit it, I have to reset my link to the net, I don't know what causes this. That's why I commented it via PM."

that's too bad

I don't remember I received a PM from you ! where did you send it ? here or at blenderartist.org ?

Slalom ha ha, KXI System avatar animation is more precise though, especially the end

Your dang right its precise!
Oh I found a small flaw in your model, the man eyes seem to be closed when actually he should be a bit more of squinting.

Hope this doesn't jeopardize anything.

@orgelf: pm here in SCF
@KXI what eyes? It supposed to have real eyes, just wait. When the 'spheres' will be in position then its time to do some more sculpture there. See at the reference photo.

Another one, new podium v2 0.46 test, used PP for DOF only.

michaliszissiou

thanks numbthumb,
oli asked for a closeup, here's one. Its a 25k tri faces and still captures lot of details of the zbrush 2.5M mesh. Though no use of normal or displacement maps. Just baked AO in blender (using the high definition model of course)

michaliszissiou

A blender oriented avatar now KXI?
Anyway I updated a render.

KXI System

Hey, finally someone noticed!

I'm just goofing off with this, gonna change back when I'm on vacation.

michaliszissiou

Just playing with two sculptures in SU and podium v2.

solo

Amazing amount of detail, you are a z-brush master.

What's even a greater achievement is reducing it so that you can use it in SU and still keep such a high level of detail.

I'd like to get a few of your models and render them with Thea if possible.

And I'd like to get a few of your skills... could it be posible?

Dear michaliszissiou (not so hard after all to pronounce ) So wonderful but incredible work!! (thanks to show us that we'll never reach 1/50 of what you're able to produce )

I understand that you stash these sculptures in your basement. I just hope that you also thought about taking good insurances.

Wow. Just... wow.

michaliszissiou

@solo: a master here, a newbie at zbrushcentral though thanks pete. I need some free time to learn thea, it seems perfect for my needs.
@KarinaGM: Thanks, about skills, you need another app for sculpture. Why don't you try scultris? And an app to covert it to a clean 3ds (like blender 2.49b).
@simon le bon: thanks Simon, its michalis or michael or michel or miguel or mike or anything.
@ecofeco: thank you.

olishea

I'm actually learning sculptris ^^ tho I'm not good at sculpting, and the worst part is painting.
I've tried several times to give blender a go, but it needs more time than I have. Anyway with all those triangles I get when sculpting, I'll have to learn how to retopo (that is an almost new word to me!)
Here is my first exercise with sculpt
Do you know a good tut on how to retopo in blender????

I divided the link because I'm not sure if it is against the rules to place external links

michaliszissiou

Hey karinaGM is this the right place to talk about it? PM to me. Its about blender not about SU. I started to write a small tut and just stopped.
In general, you have to construct a cage (via retopo low definition) you have to subdivide it (3-4 time) you have to import the triangulated mesh from (lets say sculptris) and use shrinkwrap in bender to capture details. This way you'll have a multi res model, a low res for viewer and highres for renderer. This is the basic idea. I wrote this, sorry SU users, it doesn't belong here.

InterArchi

IS THIS MADE BY SKETCHUP ????

michaliszissiou

Can you be more specific interarchi? This is a SU scene, podium renderer is used here. Sculpts using zbrush. I think I already wrote about these.

michaliszissiou

Some rock studies, a low poly mesh is used, you can download it and use it as you like.

And Colossus of course All these in half an hour (the rocks), render time included.
