Action Hero - Phiz Ed

[ISK-86]

You just gave my life a different meaning.... turning a grayscale map into geometry???

Excelent hard-surface! I have to read a lot more the documentations

[maxinkuk]

Great post! Fantastic job on the tool, I must use this technique. Thanks

[wethand]

yeah, nice idea of using zbrush!
thanks for this inspiration!

[petekasim]

Are you some kind of twisted genius? That wrench was a masterstroke! Nice characters too, they have loads of life, and I love that Glum feller's facial expression

Keep it up, I'll be keeping an eye out

[leandroloaiza]

your idea is very original and the concept of a zumo monster is unique!!



great job, i will keep an eye in your work

[threetails]

These are great characters, love the choice of style.

Glum, being a gargantuan goober, has little to no motivation to compete in art and crafts contests. However, realizing he stinks, and still looks like garbage, he spent the week continuing his experiments in the ardous transformation from 2d scribble to 3d sculpture:



Clearly, he still has no idea what he's doing, and anything that might be less than shabby is purely accidental, spastic, or supernatural. Although, he thinks it's neat that the Make3D button can be used to rought out a hand, as well as a corroded monkey wrench.

During his dabblings with dark doohickeys, he also uncovered that a magic mucus man who prefers to be known as Pico the Booger Bandito, lives inside his head and jumps out periodically to steal snott from the forces of evil:



Which is bad news, as that means he know needs to try and model a sombero wearing snottball, too. If only Phiz Ed would kill him again.



Petekasim,

Thank you for your post. I think, though, after this post, its clear I'm more of a meandering goober.


pitchepuck,

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm struggling with the transition from simple sketch to detailed sculpture, so knowing that at least one person wants to see more is great incentive to continue on. Hopefully it will all stop sucking soon.


ISK-86, maxinuk, wethand, leandroloaiza, and threetails,

Thanks for your kindwords. Hopefully, after this contest in done, we can all have a Make3D Superhero button, that turns quick scribbles into 3D prints at Offload Studios.


Will Glum survive another bout of retopology? Will Pico stick to his sombero? Will skulls be attached to that big hole at the bottom of the Wrench of Crusty Justicec? Find out next week, as we return with another episode of GLUM.

Hey there ravioli_rancher, very nice update...I think the transition form 2D-3D is very well translated.... Wonderful work and update...and for certain I;m one of your fans.

[jp_smith]

Haha I love this guy rancher. I had no idea you could make objects in zbrush based on a greyscale image, that's some dark zbrush magic! Very impressive stuff.

[ravioli_rancher]

Glum spent the week bashing his keyboard in ritual concentration. Very few productive thoughts surfaced.



But, he managed to attach crude approximations of himself in low poly form.

Then he took pictures of jelly, and experimented with matcap materials.

Then he bashed the keyboard in self-disgust.

The worst is yet to come. Hopefully for Glum, he starts applying himself a bit more. He's way behind everyone else in his Superhero class. At his current pace, He'll be a thirty year old goober by the time he graduates.

Despite himself, he vowes to work more diligently each day. Even if it means another week of booger-brained retopo sessions.


SolidSnakexxx, JP_Smith,

Thanks. You two are amazing. I envy your skills and work ethic.

[SolidSnakexxx]

ravioli_rancher, that's way cool man...you even took a snapshot and made the MatCap out of it. Very neat idea By the way, wht kind of material is the brown one, also brown jelly?

[ravioli_rancher]

SolidSnakexxx,

Hmmm, the brown stuff does look conspicous. But, yes, its only jelly.

I hope.

Thanks for your continuing encouragement.

Glum's initial adventure in the terrifying dimension of Transpose-Metropolis:



Yawn.

[Captain Sensible]

Nice work man!
