      I was PM'd regarding the Mickey Mouse model by a few users requesting to understand my technique, unfortunately I never documented the steps so I decided to make another quick model and take a few screen grabs as I go along.
      If there is an interest then I will in the near future try a video tutorial (no promises)

      Torso (using FFD)

        Wonderful ๐Ÿ˜„
        ...And I see Zbrush comes in handy for the uv-mapping.
        Too bad Sketchups texturing tools are waaaaay to limited.
        Somehow I am hoping that a texturing plugin would be Whaats next undertaking...

        By the way, it's a nice tut, but I am still pretty sure I would never be able to do that...it needs a special talent so it seems...lucky boy !

        Thanks for sharing.

            I wish I had only a fraction of your talent...!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

            So - you've used Zbrush for texturing this Froggy..??

            Thanks for sharing the steps..!! ๐Ÿ‘

                No, I used Vue for texturing.

                I only use z-brush for complexed organic shapes that are virtually impossible in SU (only if totally neccessary as the polygon import is horrendous)

                  Pete,

                  Very helpful in understanding a bit more about how you create your wonders... but a video tutorial... now that would really illuminate. ๐Ÿ˜„

                  Fred

                  PS I'm in agreement with kwist re talent

                                re: Vue... Solo is referring to Vue Infinite
                                their website is http://www.e-onsoftware.com/

                                but you could try the new UV mapper for SU by Whaat - available in the ruby forum.
