          As I can understand; this is the big news, YOU ARE STARTING A CLASSROOM!!

          How could I start a classroom? Where? Any ideas? Always my pleasure to help each other. Just dont ask me how to sculpt a nose - my weak point always. 😆 On ears, my speciality. On abstract structure, my favorite part. On anatomy, I hate it, probably the greatest lie in history of art.

          @pilou
          There is a useful plug for that (non manifolds remover), help please, I need this.
          Please post this link to 3dc forum as well, some SU users there may need it.
          And my post here, a statue of venus I already posted as a podium test render, here the 'original' zbrush render (BPR) at 3M poly this time (5 sec render time) .

                Hi guys,

                Since I still don't have much time for doing the tests initiated by Michalis, here is an interlude.
                I had made about 12/13 years ago a serial of 7 or 8 sculptures after I had found pieces of light stone at the output of an old stones carry. Today I have taken pictures for this thread of three sculptures that are left in my possession.

                this one was made into a small piece of an old wooden handrail. The wood is oak.

                  Huh? 😲
                  Sometimes I wonder if all this 3D hassle is worthy of my time or not. I used to soothe myself thinking how 3D printing would spark my "home manufacturing revolution", but now that I have seen this...A real hand-made that still beats the cr@p out of 3D printing as far as I am concerned.
                  Makes me want to build scale models again. Plus the glue fumes...
                  Congratulations, Simon! 👍

                  Comfortably numb...

                    This is the kind of sculpture I like Simon.
                    Nice 3d printing. 😆

                    Great work !!!!

                        Hi guys,
                        You're nice and kind 👍 😄

                        I have made a speed test with import export .obj

                        Native "File/Export as Obj" with SU7 pro works fine.

                        Tig's OBJexporter and Import OBJ with Materials worked perfectly with Su6 free. (thank you a lot dear TIG)


                        http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/Sculptris/thbiscotte_import_00.jpg

                        remind: from Scuptris included documentation

                        @unknownuser said:

                        Import OBJ - Import an existing OBJ file. Useful if you want multiple objects for sculpting, or somewhat more complex topology than a sphere. Compatibility is limited. Use single closed triangulated mesh(es) without sharp corners, and with less than 24 connections per vertex (no high-resolution spheres, unless they are geospheres)

                        In Fact, there is no need to produce a model "without sharp corners" after some tries I had mad a simple "hard square" and this worked.

                        http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/Sculptris/thbiscotte_import_02.jpg

                        No need also to subdivide the model into SU. Sculptris do the job itself easily using "Subdivide All" button

                        http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/Sculptris/thbiscotte_import_03.jpg

                        The various tools expend the subdivision in relation with Detail slider.

                        http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/Sculptris/thbiscotte_import_04.jpg

                        There is also a "Reduce Selected" button in order to export back to SU a reduced mesh which works on the full model,
                        (4 or 5 iterations:)

                        http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/Sculptris/thbiscotte_import_05.jpg


                        http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/Sculptris/thbiscotte_import_06.jpg

                        And more handy, I have used "Reduce Brush" button to reduce by zones.

                        http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/Sculptris/reducebrush.jpg

                        http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/Sculptris/thbiscotte_import_08.jpg

                        At the end, "cherry on the cake" I have used Chris Fullmer's Extrapolate Colors to make a harlequin render.

                          You have also Random Painter by Chris Fullmer! 😉

                          Else it's a very cool workflow for make "subdivision and Smooth" with SU6! (or up) 😎

                          Ok traduction faite 😎
                          Je vais évidemment la mettre aussi sur la "French Section" à SketchEducation 😉

                            Nice harlequin technique, can also do a good job in case you want to do one of Gaudi's rooftop sculptures...

                              The cool thing of this, is that you can use use the "pressure" inside Sculptis 😉

                                  ☀ Hi!

                                  If I have verified the import/export abilities between SU and Sculptris,
                                  And also have verified that tools of Sculptris worked on Su "waterproof" models,
                                  the "traduction" of Pilou point out better than I had done the rich combination SketchUP/Sculptris to make subdivisions job.!!

                                  We know how Su and the better quadcore are easily put on their knees by subdivision operations.. Sculptris make the job: "fingers in the nose" so 😉 !!

                                  See you soon,

                                  Simon.

                                    Very interesting work -- I have used Z-brush and I have contemplated 3-D Coat but Sculptris seems to be a viable alternative.

                                    The harlequin technique was very appealing as well...

                                    Best,
                                    Jason.

                                          With such auditory input, she´s gonna go bananas. 😄
                                          Your imagination has no limits, Simon. 👍

                                            cool! a dedicated forum for organic modelling!
                                            simon, thank you for posting the sculptris/sketchup combo,
                                            i can only get it to work with rounded-corners, i can import a square with
                                            sharp corners too, but when subdivide or just touch it with a brush it "explode"
                                            and can not keep it's shape like you did here:

                                            http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/Sculptris/thbiscotte_import_03.jpg

                                            just wondered if you had encounter this problem too before you got it right,
                                            it may be graphic-card issue.. my sculptris crash a lot.

                                            anyway, keep up the good work 👍
