Indigo Renderer Forum

Hey,
I had a bit of free time to kill today and I thought I'll check out the MudBox trial.
This is what came out after fooling around for an hour or so.
Since it was my first try ever, then I thought, that it deserves it's own thread

Rendered with the latest Indigo version.

Wow he looks great! He would've told you, but you forgot to give him a mouth

Nice work suvakas.

+1

Really neat character - Like a lot

If you had no digital sculpting experience before that's excellent

At this stage I import the shape in Maya and build a clean topology over it, I hardly go further in details before this step.

The render is very eye candy !

Eh, thanks guys.
The thing is more of an accident, than a character

@CTZn
Could you explain your process a bit more?
You re-create the topology in Maya? Why don't you use the mesh as it was exported from Mudbox (or similar soft.) ? I'm asking, cause I don't know what's the common workflow.
Currently I just exported as obj and imported it to Max.

Ps. Here's a side view

suv: becuase you could go into further details without problems, with a more optimally shaped mesh

if you go into deeper details with the current mesh, you'll soon run into computer-spec-related problems...

Great first try

I would have done it the same way to render a sculpt

I was refering to character design only, after a quick shaping I import the -not so- high rez mesh and build a lowpoly version with better edge loops. I then import the lowpo back in the sculpting software and go ahead.

The step I was refering to. On the left a sculpted sphere, on the right the reconstructed mesh that would be sculpted further. To build the mesh I used an option wich makes the sculpted sphere sticky, to create and place new faces/vertices.

Great. Thanks for the tip.

Interesting. So you manually create a new geometry over the sculpted one?

Exactly. It's a normal modeling process, except that the "final" shape pre-exists. You shaped it with a sculpting sowftware just like one would scan drawings as references, but now it's a 3d sketch.

Glad it helped !

oohh nice suv!!!!!!
i like it.......
work on it more.....mat,light setup,model sculpt and will out a great render!!!!

Nice!
Can you tell us what is the poly count?

Thanks guys!

A bit more than 1 million (about 1.02 million or so).

I textured the poor thing

ohhhhhh fantastic!!!!!!!
keep it up

the red scares me

Thanks Kosmo !

@CTZn
Why? Is it too saturated or doesn't fit with the model or what?

I have to say, that Mudbox really surprised me. It almost has no learning curve and even someone like me (who can't draw and has done only rectangular shapes in 3D) can do something in it. Very fun piece of software.
