Bobby Bubble - Artisan [SDS2]
- 
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

 - 
Eric .... I worry about you sometimes
   Great work though  
 - 
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. - 
  I like. - 
Me too.

 - 
Funny dribbling!

Now I'm really worried!

 - 
wow!
  
i am curious to see the proxy u made! - 
Thanks Jenu.
Here you go.


 - 
okay... that looks simple enuff!!!

thanks fred! - 
just curious
How long is SDS2(artisan) busy with working things out from proxy to model?
 - 
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.

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

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