really nice work
also, looks like i have to check out VUE.. nice render results.

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:

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

worked very well... thanks!!

thank you Simon for the help, i never read the documentation = )
anyway, im totaly in love with this 3d app... thanks again for starting this thread.
And i second Shura's comment:
"hope you don't mind it has turned into a collective workshop"

(i was looking around for a group in flickr to share my work,
to my surprise it wasnt any sculptris groups there?... so i started one )

i'v been working on "Marv" from sin city for a couple of days...
long way to go but adding details now

hi again... cool that this thread is growing.
i have explored sculptris even more... wow, so intuitiv and fun!

i have 1 question to ask and a sculpture to share

question: i wanted to make some basic shapes in sketchup to work on in sculptris,
export as obj(thanks for the plugin TIG) this works fine.
problem starts when i try import anything more complicated than a box into sculptris.
i get: "can't import - has faces with more than 4 corners"

anyone know about a work around on that?

and a litle sculpt:

thanks for pointing me in the direction of sculptris!
i downloaded it and watch som tutorials, played around a litle...
(the whole evening actually)
it's a really nice modeling app. thanks again

got a lovely feel

nice design! what is/who are kargall?

Any news about the price for this plug-in...??

i would also like to know that. It looks like a powerful tool.

yeah i just relized that, thank you!
(maby a mod can delete this one)

super thread, very useful

Hi sketchUcation

a couple of days ago i downloaded CurviLoft, FredoScale and RoundCorner.
This changed my SU7 to a totaly different 3d-program.
I have played around with su for a year or two but never used a plugin until now.

i am amazed.... but theres an ocean of plugins.....

So, i want to ask you all, whats the top 3 plugins you really couldnt live without?
It would help me on my quest getting the absolute most out of Sketchup.

Thank you so much.

i was scrolling down to the first picture only and thinking,
well... its a nice render, but its obvious a 3d model.... so there.

anyway, nice model. only crit would be that the springs tilt left on the original
and to the right in your su version.

Great work. Thank you Fredo !
