Sculptris Paint of Head and Torso

WIP Test Render: Head and Torso
TrueSpace VRay Render

Update:
I was not happy with the guy's sideburns and some of the textures needed improving. I fixed the geometry which meant
repainting the whole model again. So I did...

He also has a new set of sparkling whites and blue eyes!
The new render of the man's expression better depicts the reaction I am after.

Very nice job Steinie. Like the whole; lighting, concept, sculpt.

Thanks Dragneye!
I'm glad you also entered the Challenge.

Instead of starting another WIP I'll just continue with this one. This Month's WIPs will all fall under one umbrella
created for the "Things of Labor Challenge"
By the way Steinie's still in Labor.

Good job Steinie.

If Sculptris was a plug-in then there would be a pun with the Sculptris box wired to the screen.

Your right Finis and thanks.

Steinie the vid is set to private. Can't view

Steinie · Post by **Steinie** » 07 Sep 2012, 15:14

Thanks for the heads-up Dragneye and James. I thought by making it "Private" only people with the link could view it.
You think your work is good enough but after further review I said "nope, not ready for prime time"
I want to test it further and make it better.
Does anyone know how to make it loop without the end user having to select it. What is the best file format before I submit the animation to YouTube. MPeg 2 or 4 or AVI or...?

marcel · Post by **marcel** » 07 Sep 2012, 16:07

.mp4 or .avi encoded with mp4.

Steinie · Post by **Steinie** » 08 Sep 2012, 18:26

Thanks for that information Marcel.

Working on the frames of the new "Old Man and His Shiny Saw" Animation.
It is only a few seconds long so don't make popcorn!

Hi Steinie ,cool work i hope ther is i follow up vid to come.

Steinie · Post by **Steinie** » 09 Sep 2012, 12:53

Pugman1,

Well animation is not my specialty, however I love doing it. I'm just not good at it.
I love seeing my Character come to life. You need LOTS of time to do it right.
I could improve what I posted by fixing the trunk of the tree moving. (better anchor points)
The leaves would move better. Some jerkyness with the Old Man's legs and arms. To post with the big boys all this
and more would need to be done.
However I went above and beyond in this Challenge. Yes it would be cool to continue this Animation and
I just might.

Just do it Steinie you have done the hard part ,rigging in ts

Steinie · Post by **Steinie** » 13 Sep 2012, 01:03

No Morphing yet, just experimenting with movements and timing.

Finis · Post by **Finis** » 13 Sep 2012, 03:10

Awesome! I've thought it couldn't be done in TS except maybe with monumental effort like Draise is doing. Workspace seems better than model side for it. I want to see your characters in movin' pichers!
