Sculptris goblin

[squidinc]

my first experiment with sculptris, really hope zbrush incorporates the dynamic mesh subdivision, but not the whole application.. sculptris is much too nice to be absorbed entirely :D

Lol, very nice! I like his expression, and the bright colors.

I too hope that Zbrush picks up the dynamic tessellation, though only for the sculpting stage before detailing (after Zspheres). Once you need to add millions of skin pores, "unified" resolution > dynamic resolution IMO... for now at least. Who knows what sort of things they'll come up with. I imagine Sculptris's technology would adapt nicely to hardware tessellation or OpenCL/CUDA environments. Maybe Tessellation will be merged with ZSketch (not Zshperes) somehow (or possibly voxels), idk, but i trust the guys up top to figure it out. They've done a great job so far.

There are some other little things i hope Zbrush picks up on as well, like how Sculptris (and Mudbox actually) begin to dolly the camera the closer your cursor is to the edge of the canvas, feels much more natural than pressing and releasing shift.
I could use a hotkey editor too. It wasn't till i used Sculptris that i realized pressing a strategically placed hotkey to access Draw/Crease/Inflate/etc actually makes me more creative... or rather, doesn't hinder my creativity as much as searching for an icon does.
Also, i hate having to switch rotation controls in ZB cause RightMouse defaults to moving the last selected Zsphere instead of rotating the camera (wouldn't be so bad if i wasn't so use to zooming with Ctrl-RM).

just my thoughts. Cheers.


PS. Pixologic, if you're reading this, please know that i fully appreciate the effort y'all put into Zbrush, and i'm not complaining about anything. It's fully out of excitement for the future of Zbrush that i'm voicing what is intended as constructive criticism.
Not that y'all are probably even reading... or that you care too much ;)

and another, rendered in c4d this time

The first character is amusing, makes me smile to look at it and I like the color. The second one is pretty creepy looking; a very nice model but not something I'd like to have sitting on my shoulder.

[LetoAtrell]

Wow the second one looks so alive!! ... It looks as if he would open his eyes at any moment great!

[squidinc]

I think zbrush could learn a lot from sculptris, zbrush seems to over-complicate the whole process

having to manually subdivide a mesh just seems backwards after playing around with sculptris

[squidinc]

and another :D
I find doodling much easier in this

a water alien ? looks really good,especially the colors.:tu:

[Frozan]

heh these are cool and fun. nice colors. nice use of the model for the background :)

[Mahlikus The Black]

Oh wow Squid, great stuff!:tu::D

[CGicore]

squidinc,

What is your workflow?
Did you exported the textures and applied it in any other 3d program or screen capture and post work in Photoshop? Could you explain more your workflow for the squid? Please.

Love the water squid m8. Good work.

Love the water squid m8. Good work.

modelled and textured in sculptris, then exported the model and texture and rendered in Cinema 4D. The glowing parts and colour correction were done with photoshop elements

[CGicore]

Thank you for explaining that m8. Looking forward to see your next work.

I'd love to see that animated! ;)

[Taron]

Uh that's pretty! :D
Love the style in it's exploding colors. Very cool!

another doodle :D

another variation, easier to see.. other one looked too dark in work

[JimB0]

I like the first one it reminds me of an evil Gremlin. :)

[F i L]

i really like the second one. The brighter lighting brings out the surface detail. Great stuff, i think that's my favorite of yours so far.
I think it's a bit too symmetrical. Maybe that's what you where intending, but i really think this would shine with a neck/shoulders and a bit of asymmetry. That's my only crit though, great stuff and good rendering.

[squidinc]

another experiment

rendered in C4D

[F i L]

That's really cool, love all the texture. Did you paint that with Sculptris? if so, how did you get the bump and texture to match up?

[dreamz]

Your work is amazing! Your sculpts shine like jewels and the textures and rendering are awesome.

[mermaidine]

oh how excellently done on the texture, love it!

[squidinc]

That's really cool, love all the texture. Did you paint that with Sculptris? if so, how did you get the bump and texture to match up?

cheers, when rendered I used the texture for bump, colour and specular :)

[ylimani]

dat is Cool

[squidinc]

That's really cool, love all the texture. Did you paint that with Sculptris? if so, how did you get the bump and texture to match up?

and yeah, it was painted in sculptris using bits of reptile photos :)

[piz]

Cool Works, compliments :tu:

[darko999]

Nice work ;)

[Lotet]

wow dude, amazing stuff, love the last one, how much texture work do u do outside sculptris? or normal/hightmapping n such, im asking cause i have problems getting those micro details on to a model in sculptris, but you really pulled it of on that dragon.

all the modelling and texture creation was done inside sculptris, the texture was used as the bump, colour and specular inside C4D

the model itself is pretty basic, I'll post a screen grab later :)

how it looks in sculptris

[christian_egami]

Amazing works!!!!!!!!!Coooool!:tu:

[Lotet]

cool, so all that scale detail is just texture maps? and nothing actually sculpted?

[squidinc]

cool, so all that scale detail is just texture maps? and nothing actually sculpted?yeah, the most scaly bits are parts of a crocodile photo

[InkySpot]

I love your designs and color work. :tu:
I need to try the colot stuff out in Sculptris.
I find myself watching this tutorial videos quite a bit so I can learn it.

[squidinc]

went a little further with it, got to a point where I'm starting to miss zspheres and subtool management, think I'll stop this one where it's at :)

dino-wip2.jpg

[dreamz]

Excellent work. :D:tu:

[F i L]

great character additions, squidinc. really cool stuff, and always very clean sculpting.
I miss some basic sub-tool option, like duplicate, but that's done easily enough inside maya, and with the 'H'+LM to isolate meshes inside sculptris, it's not that big of a deal. I'm sure we'll have those types of things.... sometime ;)

scuoptris alpha 5

it is zbrush plugin or a stand alone programe??
