Birdman thingy

First I loved the head modeling… then I loved the body modeling… mad! this is coming out great!
I could say more compliments… but pretty much everybody else has already said it.

Very Fine work Madmac, congratulations

Dont worry I wont give up on the feathers I was just jealous so I had to say something. Can we see the basemesh you made for the torso I always like to see how people start because it gives me a better sence of my own work habits. Hope to see some updates on this guy and best of luck with the newborn.

great anatomy and great style as alaways!
congrats :+1:

Supersharp muscle-definition… " Mud" in the eye of the folks who think that ZBrush meshes are to soft !:wink:

Hello Madmac,

Your charecter is realy eay catching. I like to see your full cherector . So hurry up I am wating hear…:grimacing:

I know it might be too much to ask for a recorded sesion… but… I think we ALL could benefit from this… oh well… maybe not you :smiley:

Have fun with the newborn… they don’t stay like that for very much time :roll_eyes:

eddski: Thank you…I really enjoy those subtle details like the skin you mentioned, I wanted to put more on it but I was worried it would look a little too conrtived.

Mahikus The Black: Thanks for the kind words!

Maya4fun: I appreciate the compliment… thanks

elarcano: I’m very glad you like it… I’ll try not to drop the ball on the second half.

Evan Gough: I love to hear what people think good or bad… If you didn’t like something I would hope you would say so without any hesitation. I might not agree but it is still good to hear. Looking at our work with a different perspective will undoubtedly make us better

Basemesh…absolutely, here you go.

Thanks I’ll need all the luck I can get with a newborn :slight_smile:

Drummer: Thank you very much.

jantim: HAHAHAHAAH yeah I would like to see them try and pull off a zpetrok, metamesh, skycastle model or any of the hundreds of great models produced on this forum with Sub-D’s. Silly people… Oh and thank you very much for the compliment :slight_smile:

vishal mahajan: I’m going as fast as I can :slight_smile:TorsoBaseMeshBack.jpgTorsoBaseMeshFront.jpg

Damn it might have took years to achieve this level of details without miror…

Have u rever tryed to skin mid res model, then to pose after, not lowest res?

Must be a nightmare to sculpt an oriented face or body…

elarcano: I have a rediculous script of a fishhead I made one day just playing around. It’s not very good but it might have given you an idea of my work flow. I was about to upload it but it seams that it is too big. Apparently there is a 500k limit on zip files and this one happens to be 606k

When I get some spare time I’ll make another one… hopefully I can get it smaller.

Or you can give me your e-mail and I can send it to you that way if you still want it.

Alex Oliver

can you please send me the script:

Now I remember where I saw this style before…Reflexive Entertainment .
You posted fish models. Clinical but expressive and cool!

alexia: Thank you, I’ve gotten plenty of inspiration from your work as well!

WAII: Here’s a link to the script so you or anyone else that is interested can grab it.

http://www.jeffmcateer.com/linked/FishheadScript.zip

The script does work but you have to jump through a few hoops first.

Ok, so fallow these directions and it should work… hopefully :slight_smile:


Monitor Resolution 1280 X 1024 ( I don’t know if this is nessesary)

Document Size W=1200 H=900

Import the script… this is the dumb part. It will first ask you to load a tool… click “CANCEL”

Imediately after that it will ask you to import a file, at this time locate the “FishHead.obj” (I attached it in the same zip file as the script)

It should run fine after this

pride: Thanks…yeah that’s me :slight_smile:

Thank you madmac, the script shows your workflow and inspires me a lot. I like how you model the fish head so subtle and very realistic. Thank you again. :+1: :+1:

thanks for the script
its very detailed

Hey guys, sorry to bump in, I like the structure of your art, and the gesture you get here, this is really nice, reminds me a lot of dark crystal and slaine.
BTW i tried your script, when i run it, i get strange stuff happening, i keep seeing your work in low subdivision and in the right bottom corner of the screen, this is strange. I did all you said about screen space and loading obj, still no luck to get it working properly. Would it be possible to get a QT or upload a version the pixologic site ?
THX a lot
Love the pose you choose. Great work, keep it up!

The script has a few glitches but runs after a “restart”. When it finished I had a great looking fish as a Ztool so I put the inflated head on the 'Super Average Man" body and got a neat monster. Really good to see how other people work. I must buy more tips for Wacom.

Thanks
David

Same here for the script. Just looks like he’s rotating about the model a million times in the lower right hand corner. Followed the instructions but no luck. Ah well. Great sculpt thus far man. Really inspiring work.

Sebcesoir: It did take me longer for sure… but it wasn’t too painful. I’ll try posing a higher rez version on my next project… thanks for the tip!

SolidSnakexxx: No problem at all… I’m glad it was useful :slight_smile:

WAII: you’re very welcome:)

Sleepwalker: Thanks for the compliments! As for the script… well I honestly don’t know what to tell you. I am not the most technical of people. I sent it to a couple of my friends to test it out before I posted it. They didn’t have any problems… I’m sorry that it isn’t working for you.

There might be hope though, I sent the script to Ryan Kingslien, so maybe he’ll be able to clean it up so it works better :slight_smile:

pride: I’m glad it worked and that you found it useful

Dubb: I’m very sorry it didn’t work for you I obviously didn’t do something right… but like I told Sleepwalker Ryan Kingslien might be able to save the day (if I didn’t screw it up too bad of course)

i have tryed your techniqe and came up with this.
i know its not so nice an detailed as yours, but im already happy with the results, but i will work more on it

thanks again for this good inspiration and the script
hope to see an update on the birdguychara7.jpgchara8.jpg
