Bobby Bubble - Artisan [SDS2]

boofredlay · 10 Feb 2011, 00:14

Ever since I saw the character Bobby Bubble by Patrick Beaulieu a few years ago I wanted to model him in SketchUp. Until Artisan I have been unsuccessful.

No other plugins used, just native SU and SDS2 (Artisan).
27,517 polygons, 14,749 without the bubbles.
I spent a couple days playing with it here and there. Maybe 5 hours total.
Rendered with Twilight.

And here are the wires.

Wow...who would have thought this possible in SU? Great work, Boo

Mike Lucey · 10 Feb 2011, 01:29

Eric .... I worry about you sometimes Great work though

boofredlay · 10 Feb 2011, 01:31

Thanks Marcus.
No need to worry Mike, I am severely twisted. Oh, did I mention that I worked on that one in front of the mirror.

Bryan K · 10 Feb 2011, 03:11

I like.

Stinkie · 10 Feb 2011, 06:59

Great modeling/texturing/rendering, Eric.

Now I'm really worried!

jenujacob · 11 Feb 2011, 03:32

i am curious to see the proxy u made!

boofredlay · 11 Feb 2011, 03:52

Thanks Jenu.

Here you go.

jenujacob · 11 Feb 2011, 03:58

okay... that looks simple enuff!!!
thanks fred!

Solidseal · 11 Feb 2011, 19:11

just curious

How long is SDS2(artisan) busy with working things out from proxy to model?

boofredlay · 11 Feb 2011, 23:13

I am not sure I fully understand your question Solidseal.

From beginning to end I spent probably 5 hours but most of that was trying to figure out how I wanted to approach the shapes. Since I have made this now and if I wanted to model it again it might only take me an hour.

If you are asking how long it took the proxy to calculate from step 2 to step 3 in the image below it was only a few seconds.

Solidseal · 11 Feb 2011, 23:57

Hmm cannot see the image ..
But I understand

have you ever tried to make the same model using SDS(1) and see the difference with SDS(2)

boofredlay · 12 Feb 2011, 00:06

Well there is a big difference. Once I subdivide the mesh I did quite a bit of sculpting and vertex editing to get the final shape which cannot be done with SDS1, only Artisan.

boofredlay · 12 Feb 2011, 03:31

Here is an example of the vertex select and move tool on this subdivision.

boofredlay · 12 Feb 2011, 04:02

And here is a look at the sculpt and smooth brush.
