Sculpt using UVs and displacement maps

Nice! A new style perhaps? I'd like to see more of these, with this new/old style.

these are all great... have an eye on this topic...

These posts are quite out of topic.
Sculpt using UVs (these don't have UVS) and displacement maps (they don't use maps either)
These are procedural textures, random or fractal more or less.
I'm not interested at all.
IMO, fractals and art are two different things.

Thank you Oli, I missed your reply, sorry.
Some more, not random, neither fractal constructions.
An insect like spaceship and another a little nightmare artifact. Both using a slightly different approach, now under 100k faces resolution. In fact they can be as 2000 faces assets, very friendly for game engines (or SU LOL)

An interesting link on architectural applications (CNC) http://www.michael-hansmeyer.com/projects/columns.html?screenSize=1&color=1#1.
A friend from zbrush forum posted it (LVXIFER), so I repost it.
and a new one, just testing the use of normal maps instead of displacements.
Results to very low poly bases. Can be imported even on VG engines.

Thank you Pilou,
And thank you, thank you, thank you.

Meanwhile. I tried for a very low poly version, friendly to VG engines. And to SU I guess.
~15k faces, just to have a rounded enough cylinder. The trick is to use an ambient occlusion map combined with bumps. It's fake but almost does the trick.

Indeed very interesting!

He has a good master

Explore this site! It's fabulous, totally amazing!

I couldn't resist
Same technique,
this time the new NPR Toon shader by cycles.
