Well done Pete!

[SketchUpNoobie]

Pete, please refrain from posting your imports here. It's a disgusting habit.

Your organic models are insane!

There're better tools for sculpting pete.
But the whole scene is brilliant. A fine composition from a talented man. Great use of simple texture on wood only. I love the SU 2d layout.

Looks great! Marvin is still my favorite, but hard to believe this is in SketchUp.

You're having way too much fun! Wow

I agree,there are many great apps out there, some even free. However I really enjoy the challenge of using SU, I know it can be clunky and awkward to create organic models but SU is so much fun.

Today as I await new work (more like hope all my bids get accepted) I decided Scooby needs Shaggy.

All the same tools were used.

Shaggy has an amazing resemblance to you Pete. Great work.

Thanks guys.

The head was a little higher poly than I hoped to achieve as I needed to use the sculpt tools to get a likeness then reduce, as much as I could with 'smooth selection' and polyreduce.

Question for you Pete
How do start out on one of these masterpieces ? Start like you showed us with the evil mouse, or make a block and then sculpt away at it
I'm getting better but have trouble with the sculpt and smooth tools

Another difficult question, I spend a lot of time pondering this also every time I get an idea for a new model. If it's a cartoon character I usually start with an initial pose, I have a bunch of saved proxy's that I reuse, like the one below, where I have the arm, leg, foot, abdomen and head in separate groups for posing, then stitching and manipulating. The proxy's are created in a way that I have the ability to bend them at certain points without destroying them.

I then subdivide, add detail, simplify (Artisan reduce poly or just use Artisan smooth feature) Then add more detail and repeat the reduction until I have what I'm looking for.

An update.

These cartoon models are great, Pete.

I appreciate the little tips about Artisan too! Hopefully in a year or two I can make something with it worth showing off
