Playing with an old model and external rendering:

Got to be a bit of welsh in there somewhere

[wolfie]

Been a long time
sorry forgot how to put up pics that dont display on the front page
will have a read again

Cool model, the human hand isn't working imho.

To explain: comparing it to the other legs anatomy it shouldn't be able to bend in a way that it does. FOr instance, try bending your own foot in that manner and you'll get the idea. Hope I'm helping

Super Glitcher, scottleroc: You obviously spotted it Its very cool to bring down ultraheavy meshes with Decimation Master to something renderable.

Captain Sensible: thank you!

sgrell: Both applications work very well together and each has its very own strenghts. In fact i just exported the original voxel mesh without any retopo, then decimated it with Decimation Master. Every other mesh decimation tool I have tried, crashed due to the high poly count. This includes meshlab and XSI. With Decimation Master it was processed without hickups and very fast-and the result is absolutely convincing.

wolfie: That was my guide: http://stadt.cityreview.de/brandenbu.../bilder/ybizyn
Although that welsh beast looks cool too

cherub_rock: Youre absolutely right, the legs are the weakest part imho. I should really work on those.

With the official release of 3DCoat V3.0, i would like to use the opportunity to show some 3DCoat/Zbrush doodles. I really love to use the two together. I have two workflows at the moment:

* for organic meshes:

• Do overall/rough shape with voxels
• Retopo/Auto-Quadrangulation in 3DC
• Sculpting and fine detail/polypaint in Zbrush
• Examples below

* for "hard surface" meshes:

• Do everything with voxels
• Direct voxel export
• Decimation Master in Zbrush
• Examples below

Decimated down from 3mio to 16k!


Decimated down to 1mio



Have a look at the demo here, im sure you will love it :

So . . . I've looked at 3dc and I love that you have found a nice workflow. Isn't 3dc also better at polypainting? What are 3dc renders like then?

Very Cool Erklaerbar - love the designs

Erklaerbar,

Wonderful designs. I love the dragon head. I REALLY like your use of color.
I can't wait to see more!

love your work especially
the work "A rather methaphoric interpretation of a neuron:
on page 4.....
... the green sphere is especially great.....was that rendered in Zbrush
what was the material for it.. and the lighting setttings.?
Thanks again

[Erklaerbar]

sgrell, 3DC renders are ok, the DOF rocks and its fast. Im just used to ZBrush, same goes for painting.
FoOD, thank you!
Dickie, thanks a lot!
vedanta, thank you. Yes it is a Zbrush render. Sorry to say that its not a free material. It can be found in my signature.

made a better render of the dragon head
EDIT: replaced with final version

goodnight doodle:

[Disco Stu]

nice one

[weiluntsai]

the final image is really lovely~~~~~~~~~
I also like this concept and render

[Aberrant]

WOW!

This is by far some of my favorite abstract works.

You seem to have a quick turn around, how long do these take on average?
