Model this: Popeye

solo

A question for Solo - do the Ruby plugins you use create a proxy that is retained like a regular subdivision modeling program? Or is that shape being deformed in the modeling process rather than being subdivided?

Arial, I create the basic proxy, I then use the pluging to give more complexity in order to manipulate it to a shape I am trying to achieve, once I have my seconadary shape I then subdivide once more to smooth that shape and again I tweak for the finer details.

Pete, please consider me as a friend. Its all about inputs and outputs. The base of computing. I just find that SU is the better app to do this and another app (like blender or modo) to do that. I like to explore some workflows (from blender to SU, SU to blender) because of this. I really like to see all these fine apps to communicate. Thats all. I believe that for some people this could be useful.

Hi

I was thinking to participate in the model this thread, but the challenge is too much for me.
Congratz to the valiants. In the last challenge I was amazed and even trided to follow the steps but couldn't get nothing worth showing.

I have a question for Solo, and is... well... not related to the topic, so please FORGIVE ME!
I always wonder how do you do those gifs showing the moves you make in SU (just like those last where you showed how to edit your proxy).
Please, tell me what are you using for this, please, please, please!

Maybe I'll join the next "model this"
It all depends on how organic it is, I supose

I use Camtasia studio 6, it does the screen capture and then produces clip in any format, great compression and quality as far as .gif's go.

Jesus Pete that's amazing. I didn't even know the sculpt tools existed.

Thanks mate for posting the mini tut!

I've never really ventured much with rubies, can never remember what they are for or what they do - mostly because I don't do a lot of organic or curved stuff so not a loss. For mostly rectilinear stuff I've got such a flow that any I've tried that may help that just escape my memory by the time I've completed the task. But have to say at the same it's really nice to see someone not just understand what they do but to show their mastery of them!!!
