THE Sculpting Challenge - 004 - Real-Life Cartoon

[Freespace-3DT]

Eka, her hair needs to be wider, when you look at her from the front. Great job! She annoyed the hell out of me in the film, though. :)

[cojoMan]

I wonder if anyone knows this one :D
2 hours in...

[fireantz]

Yo, i m back. :p
Here is my entries piece & wip. From My Neighbour Totoro . 4 hrs done it.

[M3N7H0L5]

kazmamurat::Thanks for your material..I've been searching for a good mat all over the internet.
eka::Great one!max the wrinkles.
cojoMan::EEK!I just had a nightmare about me bitten by zombified vampires!
fireantz::Nice sculpt!!I never thought of manipulating mesh that way!!awesome work!!

Here's my third one..1:50..this is mugen of samurai champloo..I went berserk when sculpting the hair..maybe i'll repair the hair later or start doing something else..

[mafida]

how can we use the snake hook brush doesnt it become a different geometry? zbrush ask switch or not ,if i switch my current sculpt is gone.can u elaborate please

Are you using zbrush 3.1?

kazmamurat-thanks for material, i was looking for something like this:D

[aby arty]

Are you using zbrush 3.1?

kazmamurat-thanks for material, i was looking for something like this:D

no sir iam using zbrush 3 not 3.1.

[mafida]

iam using zbrush 3 not 3.1.

well i dont know-maybe that is your problem?When im using snakehook in 3.1 zbrush dont ask to switch or not just pull mesh:hmm:

[M3N7H0L5]

yeah.mafida is right.just like when i went berserk with mugen's hair that i sculpted.
aby art::maybe you can just google your problem.see if you find some answer

[Ordibble Plop]

Cool sculpts - it's great to see all the different styles.

This is Betty Boop as she would be today. Time was up before I could go crazy with the wrinkles - maybe I'll retopo it and finish later.

[cojoMan]

my four hours are up and here's my first entry :
Alucard - (Dracula - spelled reverse) - the "bad" guy in the Hellsing anime series

[M3N7H0L5]

Holy!Ordibble Plop,that's one horor Betty Boop!Nice!and what really attracts me was her body figure.

[Knut]

Been working on Master Shake from Aqua Teen Hunger Force for a couple hours, not really satisfied with how I used the mesh, I should have spent more time on it before I started doing into details, especially the eyes. I'll probably leave it as it is now and start something else :)

Thanks to Kazmamurat/Ralf Stumpf for the shader, hope you don't mind me using it :o

[lythtis]

dude i am starting to really hate zbrush. something i can model in 20 min. i cant do in 4 hours with zbrush. i know i am new at this program but dam i look at ur guys stuff and cry. if i can model my own base mesh for the task i am trying to do i may have better success..... ok i feel a lil better now. guess its back to zbrush and more headaches.


btw stuff look awesome guys.....and gals

[Freespace-3DT]

His hands need to be bigger, Knut.

[M3N7H0L5]

hands?I thought wings..sorry,I've never seen this character before..

lythtis:: Dude,relax.I'm also a newbie.Find tutorials in the net or ask someone for the links.youtube sure got several tuts.for better quality,maybe veoh,depends on where are you from.Veoh had blocked many countries from accessing it's web.i learned from there and other than that,books,experiments and tut DVDs.it takes time.be patient about it and you'll be there..and base mesh?it's given in page 1.

[lythtis]

M3N7H0L5 - i know it takes time. its just been one of those mornngs where u wanted to get some stuff done but accomplish nothing. im trying to learn the UT3 engine, zbrush so i can utilize the norm maps, bla bla bla, i just dont have the time to sit down and learn all these program like i used to. thx for the support

[ianchaos]

Wow...everyones sculpting ability just blows me away. Really amazing work out there.

Here's where I'm at with popeye. I've got just under an hour left to make any changes...add details. I wish I had half the speed and talent of some of you out there.

[goronking]

Here's my final, at about 3 hours 30 with some tea breaks put in and the like.

SPECTRUM, ON!

[Intervain]

Ordibble Plop - LOL she's a creepy betty ;) - love it!

Knut - hehe nice choice!

[Maxter1]

great challenge, fantastic entries.... kazmamurat, eka, intervain, capitan_popo, vongn are my faves:dance:

Here is my first attempt. 3 h 45 min, tribute to Tezuka:smug:

[Mantis]

Great sculpts so far, I especially love totoro and mr.Incredible.


I got some little question, are we able to use local subdivision or can we add edgeloop inside zbrush, because local subdivision really sux and can give you really bad results.

Thx.

[grommie]

Great sculptures guys.
Tintop, do you mind if I do Butt-head?

[AndrewQ]

I didn't get a chance to participate in the super soldier contest, but congrats to the winners! Here is my 1 hr point in my cartoon guy. It's Hoss Delgado from The Grim adventures of Billy and Mandy.

[bryzol]

Hey Kazmamurat can I use your shader for final entry? It's great. I think my sculpt looks much better with it.

[bryzol]

Lots of new good sculpts here.
I like bgen, eka, fireantz (great!), Ordibble Plop (poor Betty :) ) I do not have to mention Kazmamurat ;-)
It is fun to take a part of this challenge and see so much good work :D

[bgen]

hehe i was zapping through some kids channels during the Football break @ the EM.
i saw a commercial for Space Ghost - i so totally dips him.
I am gonna make him today or tomorrow.... It was on my favorite shows as a kid next to Fraggles (not a cartoon)
but also Fraggle Rock(Cartoon), oh boy oh boy Flash Gordon :D anyone remembers the good old Herculoids ?? and let's now forget the Jetsons... i allways wanted to have a small flying ship like they had.
and let's not forget the old Charlie Brown and his dog Snoopy dog yo !! :D

for some still looking for a idea, while listing those toons i foung this website. http://www.80scartoons.net

so back to buisniss :D.
Maxter1 - astroboy looks good. make his hair edge a little cripser and give him some eyebrows in the remaining time... good job.

Ordibble Plop - freaky, i never liked her singing in the cartoons. - great sculpt dough :lame:

cojoMan - Hellsing rulz - don't like the ending of the anime dough.

ianchaos - nice sculpt so far. Popeye need a big jaw dough that's his trade mark !

fireantz - *dance* i just bought the dvd recently great movie. Totoro is and awsome character and you sculpted him so well. *makes a dance again*

bryzol - one word - *hot* - ure 2nd sculpt is ace but so was the 1st.

Medusa - can''t help it but smile - he reminds me of someone who drank loads of beer and the white fluffy stuff got caught in his beard., great starter !.

[Intervain]

a more 'realistic' approach this time - Yogi Bear :shy: ... slightly below 4 hrs.

http://mdadela.com/ssp_director/albums/album-3/lg/YOGI.jpg

[Mantis]

Maxter1: Your astroboy Rox!

Intervain: Really lovely Bear he seems to be in chocolate, that make him even more adorable :haha:

[skullbeast]

Finished!

[Daye]

I wonder if anyone knows this one :D
2 hours in...


If I were to make a guess, I would say that is a pretty damn good
likeness of Alucard from Hellsing.


:D

[cojoMan]

@bgen - thx man :D
@daye - late but on the spot :p

[capitan_popo]

Intervain that uogi bear looks awesome one of my favorites now
Skullbeast nice work, love how the body turned out, looks rotten like mummra himself haha, nice pose as well
I am pist off!! my computer went to hell.... it just turns off every 5 min or so, and I was half way with powdered toast man!, now every time I turn it on I had to give it a smack, and then would turn off after 5 min. I had to take it to get it fixed and they will probably tell me what wrong with it until wednesday:lame::wall::ugh::grr:
.... and for those of you who dont know who my character kame sennin is (I think hes called that in english, his name is maestro roshi in spanish) I found a funny clip of him in youtube here it is:<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VebyIsNwKKk&hl=en"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VebyIsNwKKk&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>check it out haha :D

[Intervain]

Mantis - thanks

capitan-popo - thank you :)

skullbeast - I like how you did the bandages and cloth

[Ordibble Plop]

I had another go to do something a bit more realistic so here is Mickey - I like this more than Betty and, gosh, I sure did have a swell time doing it :roll:

M3N7H0L5: thank you - Betty's anatomy needs some work, but I'm not sure I'd call it attractive :haha:

Intervain: thanks - your Yogi is looking good - it's one of the few characters I recognise here!

bgen: thanks - I thought I didn't like her either, but when looking for reference I found some vids with music by Cab Calloway - now I'm changing my mind :crazy: ( Betty vids (http://www.archive.org/details/bb_minnie_the_moocher) ). Good job on your samurai - his expression looks quite anguished.

bryzol : thanks - Betty succumbed to the worst disease in Hollywood - old age

[bgen]

Ordibble Plop - cheers anguish i tryed to put in my Ninja Shikamaru. You Mickey is ace.... but at first i tought it was the human version of Dumbo :D.

Intervain - nice Yogibear , i used to watch that series alot.

skullbeast - mumra turned out ace.

here, i made my next char - Space Ghost

[neolith]

Great stuff people,intervain,kazmamurat(thx for the mat,hope you dont mind if i use it,i may change it when submitting the final),skullbeast and i could go on...

4 hours spent here,unfortunately there are some annoying bumps left unfixed,but it's ok.It's piccolo from DBZ,i tried to keep it sort of clean,without many wrinkles and details on the skin.

[rap]

wow so many great entries!

intervain-yogi looks nice but i really love ur 1st entry!

bgen-great space ghost u got there

Ordibble Plop-now that is one fresh mickey pic i've seen in years.good job!

Skullbeast-really like it!!!

[Daniela Blanco]

Funkdelic: thanks for the "welcome"

Great job everyone.......amazing works....

Here is my Elmyra Duff, with 1:30....................

[Intervain]

thank you guys!

rap - yeah I think I'll submit Hades as the final, unless I'm inspired to do yet another character ;)

Daniela - nice start, I suggest you go down a subd or 2 and smooth stuff out, before she gets a bit too bumpy :) Good going though!

[nellemento]

Heres Kenshiro finished,maybe I will do homer,hercules,fred flintstone I dont know which one to make but we will see!
fireantz its nice, really clean mesh.

[AA-ron]

Was it ever concluded whether or not we could use edge loops or creases?

[Aleks]

Was it ever concluded whether or not we could use edge loops or creases?

It's forbidden to use anything that would change the geometry of the mesh.No new edge loops,no creases.

[bgen]

Subdived and Sculpt !! :D

[skullbeast]

skullbeast - I like how you did the bandages and cloth

thanks! I used masks and alphas!

[AA-ron]

Thanks for the clarification, Aleks-3DT, good thing I asked before getting to that point :D

[nellemento]

Heres start of my second cartoon character Marge Simpsons .

[DaddyMack]

Ooooh!... This is great, I looked thru the whole thread and the sculpts in here are insane... Intervain, I hope your Hades gets it, he'd look so slick on a desktop

Next time 'round I'm in

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

nellemento - Woah Marge Simpson sculpt is great although Marge looks like a drag act lol :) but the sculpting is superb.

[nellemento]

Thanks more to come!

[Mantis]

It's forbidden to use anything that would change the geometry of the mesh.No new edge loops,no creases.

So we are not able to use local subdivision?
This feature change the topology of the mesh for those who are using Zbrush.

[Aleks]

So we are not able to use local subdivision?
This feature change the topology of the mesh for those who are using Zbrush.

Yup it does and I for one hate it ;) But it's okay to use local subdiv because basically you just subdivide a certain area of the model and there's nothing wrong about that.

[Mantis]

Ok thank you for this precision.
And I hate it too :haha: I don't understand why they did this like that.
But I only got Zbrush and I don't have a copy of Muddy so I have to go with it.

[JHarford]

fireantz... that's absolutely fantastic. my favourite so far

[ncollings]

Lot of cool stuffs here, congratz to anyone so far ! Just can't resist to attemp this challenge too :drool: .
I always wanted to do a version of "the clown" from Spawn, so it was just the perfect occasion !

Still want to fix a few areas but damn i already spent the 4 hours :cry:
Anyways here is my result.

i used a matcap created by Ralf Stumpf | Preview Render - Screengrab inside Zbrush.

http://nicolascollings.com/WIP/TheClown_Render.jpg

[nellemento]

Great sculpting collings!

[bgen]

but i think the clown isn'T a cartoon ?!, correct me if i am wrong i only know him from the movies.

[Intervain]

your clown's awesome Nick but the base mesh seems to be wrong :cry: - you've used your own I see... there's a mesh attached to the first post, which all the participants are supposed to be using :)

[iatriki]

your clown's awesome Nick but the base mesh seems to be wrong :cry: - you've used your own I see... there's a mesh attached to the first post, which all the participants are supposed to be using :)

intervain is right. btw, great sculpt:dance:

[disco stew]

thats real bummer ncollins i believe thats a lot of high quality sculpting time wasted

[Intervain]

well I wouldn't call it wasted - still good practice and a nice piece to show off :)

[ncollings]

bgen: there is also the comicbook Spawn , still a cartoon character isn't it ???

Magda/Iatriki: Hoops i missed that. mmm i can still use the Projection tool so LOL. just kidding ! well i guess i will be disqualify then, though the basemesh that i used is really simple , even simpler then the one given ... maybe it will be ok ..... baah was fun to do anyway.

edited

disco stew: I really enjoyed that time dude, definitely not wasted :lame:

[iatriki]

you can do another one, or as many as you like. you have until 24 june. the only limit is when you post in the final submissions thread. in the final submissions you can post only 1, but here you can post as many as you want, because this is like a WIP thread

[el.tintop]

sorry, but i think: NO. but awesome sculpt.don't worry.;)

[Aleks]

Hey Nicolas and Andrei.Nice to see you around guys ;)

EDIT: I'm not really sure about the sculpt,Nicolas, as you broke the rules and all,but seeing how simple the base mesh was, I think we could make an exception ;)

[bgen]

bgen: there is also the comicbook Spawn , still a cartoon character isn't it ???


didn't know there was a comic :) only knew about the movie

[skullbeast]

Mumm-ra

[ncollings]

Hi Alek, would be really nice of you to accept my entry but hey if you have any complained about it, don't hesitate to disqualify my sculpt but if it's ok with the other modelers here , well it's cool :lame: i know that i ****ed up lol ! I was too thrill to start to sculpt this dude that i didn't read the rules correctly :crazy:

[JHarford]

Hey Nicolas and Andrei.Nice to see you around guys ;)

EDIT: I'm not really sure about the sculpt,Nicolas, as you broke the rules and all,but seeing how simple the base mesh was, I think we could make an exception ;)

let him upload his base then so we can choose that as an alternative, becuase It's a lot easier harder to make certain models/shapes with a more detailed base sometimes. Just look at alex olivers orc thing from a cube.

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

Spawn was a comic aswell as a Movie, but there is an animated series created by Todd Macfarlane for HBO. Not sure about the final call to whether you're base mesh will be allowed or not, but either way from such a simple mesh that's truelly outstanding sculpting :)
CG.

[JHarford]

still, ncollings, its a damn nice sculpt and one of my favourites.

[Intervain]

I'm totally cool with it :)

[bgen]

ye - i'm cool with it as well - awsome sculpt

[Ordibble Plop]

let him upload his base then so we can choose that as an alternative, becuase It's a lot easier harder to make certain models/shapes with a more detailed base sometimes. Just look at alex olivers orc thing from a cube.

I don't mind if it is allowed in, but I agree with JHarford.

Maybe the organisers would consider using a simplified basemesh for the challenges, like the one ncollings used? The current one is an excellent base for standard humanesque headshapes, but try to push it further and it can become quite messy (I had real troubles with my Betty Boop).

I realise a simplified mesh may be more off-putting to some people just starting out in sculpting who want the leg-up, so perhaps a choice of say two base meshes would be OK?

[ncollings]

Nice from you guys :) and I'm agreed with JHarford and Ordibble Plop, that it could be easier some time to sculpt from a simple basemesh, you just have more freedom actually.

If the moderators want to add my basecage ,i'm totally cool about it here is a link where you can find it HERE (basemesh) (http://nicolascollings.com/temp/Collings_BaseMesh.obj)

[goronking]

awesome sculpt dude, don't know the character, but awesome none the less.

[Mantis]

Great Violator Collings :)

And thanks for posting this basemesh, I hope we will be able to use it with next challenges.
Like everyone else I agreed that using the actual basemesh can be a real pain when you are not doing an human, it is not enough generic for this kind of challenge.

The simplier is the mesh, the best it is, like that you can really concentrate on your sculpting without fighting against topology.

And here is my entry,and a kind of timelapse (but I can't remember the exact time for each sculpt) and my final entry.

The Hood is done from an eye, the bones on his chest from the other one, and the rope around his neck is done from the upper teeth.
You can't see the back because it almost not done, I was out of time and I choose to focus on the front side of the model.

So here is my real Skeletor.
Hope you like it.

[capitan_popo]

WOOOW!!! Mantis that is an awesome skeletor!!!!! one of my faves!!!!!!!! the detail is great,m love the chain, and the heart is a great touch

[neolith]

That's really awesome,Mantis,he looks really evil!One of my favorites so far ;)

[clee101]

Heres my entry. Its Scarlett from GI JOE. This was a fun challenge. It was tough cus of the time pressure. I was rushed in time so I was almost done on the first try, when my save crashed and lost everything. But it was actually a good practice run and I actually did things faster and better the second time around from the very beginning.

[AA-ron]

Nice work ncollings, Mantis and clee101, really great sculpts.

[spider2544]

ncollings: great job on Clown i love that character. i totally think your sculpt should be allowed, because the mesh is so simple. part of the challenge i think is how people tweak the base mesh into totally different forms. but because your clown model was human still without a lot of massive changes, i don't think you would have had any harder time using the provided mesh and you could have gotten the same quality level in the given amount of time.

Mantis: i love skeletor i was to scared to make him because i couldn't figure out a way to make his hood, thats a cool strategy to use the eye like that.

clee101: WOot im not the only one doing GI joe haha. great model dude

heres my favorite character from the show, i heard he's running for president

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v310/spider2544/CobraCommanderwip.jpg

heres the final model, only had 6 mins to spare... i wanted to make the tassel rope thing that goes around his shoulder, but i totally don't have any time left... nor can i figure out a way to do it with the teeth haha.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v310/spider2544/Cobra_Commander_Final.jpg
Head closeup

COOOOOBBBBbrrrrrraaaaaa!!!!!!

[inveni0]

Well, I've never really used ZBrush. I imported a head to it once, but didn't get very far. I thought that I would try this sculpting challenge anyway. So, I asked my son what cartoon character I should make, and he said SpongeBob.

This is about 2.5 hours of work. I'm posting now because I don't know if I'll have time to work on it more. It doesn't look like much work, but it took me most of that time to figure out how to shrink the head and arms of the base mesh inward to make a square shape, lol.

[AndrewQ]

spider2544: great cobra! I love how the eyebrows are built into his mask.
skullbeast: Amazing mumra. you interpreted the teeth really well. broken and nasty
Mantis: the cowl for skelator is really nice, the folds are pretty neat.
ncollings: I really hope your base mesh is allowed, really impressive!
Eka: Yubaba! Perfect likeness!
Fireantz: I think this is the only one with a whole scene! Really nice!

Sooo many great entries, it seems like everyone is getting better and better!

Update on my Hoss Delgado, about 3hrs in. I'm going to slap on some simple clothes, fix up the hair a bit, and some other general cleanup. Any suggestions or criticisms?

[ianchaos]

I picked up ZBrush...And I love it. Can't say enough good things about modeling with it.

With that being said...how do you select/move separate objects in Zbrush. I exported Popeye's torso out of Mudbox and into Zbrush and worked on that for a while. When I then load in his pipe or his hat I can't move the pipe or the hat as separate objects from Popeye to position them where they should be. I've only had Zbrush for a hour or so...so I'm sure there's an easy way to do it, but with it's unbelievable number of features and options, I'm quite lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's Popeye's head after just a few minutes of happily working at a level of detail that had brought Mudbox to it's knees.

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p55/ianchaos/popeyeHead.jpg

[Fellipe Lopes]

Hi!! This is my first post in a Contest!!! I Hope you Like!!!

[kazmamurat]

lot of great works again!! intervain, mantis, ncollings, nellemento, ordibble pop, cojoman... it will be very hard decision to select only three.

[slickster3112]

I was just wondering how many of you guys use tablets (pen), and how many use just the mouse... And if you use a tablet which one would you suggest?

You want to use subtools, assuming they all came in together at the same time, go to the poly groups rolldown, hit auto group. then go to your subtools roll down, and hit grp split, that should split them up as seperate objects.

[Intervain]

I was just wondering how many of you guys use tablets (pen), and how many use just the mouse... And if you use a tablet which one would you suggest?

wacom intuos3 tablet hands down :)

[neolith]

I was just wondering how many of you guys use tablets (pen), and how many use just the mouse... And if you use a tablet which one would you suggest?

I use a crappy mouse,hope this helped you :D

[cojoMan]

@kazmamurat :thx man...hope I still have time for another one... ;)
@slickster : a wacom a6 graphire...small but effective :D

[ncollings]

@Mantis, spider2544 : great sculpt guys !
@Fellipe Lopes : looking good so far dude.
@slickster3112 : Wacom intus3 A5wide :) i think a graphic tablet is indispensable for 3d sculpting.

[kazmamurat]

slickster; i m using mouse and a little ctrl+z. :)

[M3N7H0L5]

I use wacom bamboo fun..good for my pocket.
i can't really use my mouse because my computer table is so small and my wrist often hurt because of that.
for a superb tablet,it's always Wacom Intuos.

[MonteCristo]

Actually I'm the same. Couldn't quite justify spending the money on something as snazzy as an Intuos 3, even though I want one ;). My daughter takes all the priority on money, so I needed to find something cheap. Nonetheless the Bamboo seems to be more than good enough. I was very surprised. :) I also really like that this one has a paper-like surface, rather than the plasticky, slidey type. If you can't stretch to a nicer one, I would say this at least is a must have compared to a mouse. Sculpting relies on pen pressure being a factor. V Important.

[Mantis]

Captain Popo, Neolith: Thank you guys, happy that you like it :)

Spider: Really cool character, you did a great job with his hood(?)

Slickster: I am using a wacom intuos3 too.

Kazmarut: You are using a mouse to sculpt??? Amazing, that you can achieve such incredible sculpt, I'm so used of my tablet that I couldn't get this kind of result with this time frame.

I agreed with montecristo, if you cannot afford an Intuos go for a bamboo, I got a graphire2 and it was doing the job really fine, but the intuos is a gift so let's use it :D

P.S:There are really many great sculpt so far, but it seems that some are confusing with the current theme.
Some are just doing a 3D sculpting of a cartoon character, without making it realistic.
At least that's what I understood from the rules, I hope that's not me who is off-subject ;).

[Wartooth]

These sculpting challenges are great, Alot of great entries my favourites so far are intervains Hades,cojoMans Alucard and Kazmaruts Mr Incredible.
Ok for my first go I did Modo a Biker Mice from Mars

Ok that's my first post over :hurt:

[M3N7H0L5]

yeah.you're right, MonteCristo.what matter is pressure sensitive.btw,the difference from using intuos and others are hard to see with naked eye.but 1 important thing for me is the size of the tablet.bigger = less strain on your wrist.
bamboo's mouse is not as sharp as optical or laser mouse.I often got my mouse off the tablet area when i'm using it.doesn't matter anyway.I'm still happy that I own a tablet.

[kazmamurat]

mantis, you did awesome work for 4 hours, skeletor i mean. i don't think i could do it in 4 hours time.

you can see i m working very symettrical on my sculpts, only a few and fast asymettrical details, it s the most time-friendly method i think. otherwise i don't believe I can finish a more complex model in 4 hours. my timeplan is; about 2 hours for rough detailed model and sometimes simple posing (3. level of subdivision) and 2 hours remaining for little detailing (6. or 7. level of subdivison).

besides, these challenges are great for fastening the sculpting skills, i m improving it every day.

sorry for my english,

[goronking]

are we allowed to do muppets? or are they not classed as cartoons? i'm sure someone asked earlier, but i've forgotten.
Edit: Yeah, i've got an intuos 3 a6 wide. tbh, maybe its just me, i can;t really notice the tilt setting of the pen. maybe i haven't configured it properly. I used to have a graphire 3, I was fine with that, until it broke, but yeah, i think the bamboo is the new graphire, as your entry level one i'd recomend it :) No point diving all the way in, i've known some people who don't get on with them, so it'd be a bit of a waste to drop £200 on an intuos to only use it twice

[nellemento]

Thanks, I am using mouse right now I had bamboo fun but I gave it to my friend ,i will buy Intuos3 I hope so we will see

You can do muppets as nearly the entire cast of Muppets was in Muppet Babies.

So there's Kermit, Miss Piggy, Rolf, Scooter, Beaker, Dr Bunsen, Gonzo, Fozzi, Animal etc.

Hi everyone,
I'm fascinated of all the Work in this and the other 3 Challenges and I wanted to try it myself. I started with ZBrush 2 weeks ago and this is just my 2nd Model sculpted, so please have mercy upon me and my work.
I hope u like my Blinky from the Simpsons.

[Fellipe Lopes]

Thanks NCollings!!! :wave:

Tablet Wacom Intuos 3:D

[guhhh]

woww.....many great entrys so farr skeletor, mickey mouse, hhaha awsome...

thats my second entry...1:30 so far

Real life Space ghost

[Daniela Blanco]

Ok......here is my final............I used all my 4 hours.......
Wish I was fast an good at it as some guys here...........:cry:

Nice work everyone......there are really amazing works here.....

[clee101]

By the way, thanks Kazmamurat for the awesome matcaps!

@AA-ron: Thanks man
@spider2544: Thanks man, good to see another GI JOE take. Nice cobra commander!

Lots of great stuff! Almost tempted to do another one..

[funkdelic]

here is Dungeon Master, after zbrush crashs like twice, I am kinda pissed with the software, so it will be my last attempt for this comp..
3 hours and some minutes...
cant go much further with details, my computer its almost burning....
:wave:

[el.tintop]

I don't mind if it is allowed in, but I agree with JHarford.

Maybe the organisers would consider using a simplified basemesh for the challenges, like the one ncollings used? The current one is an excellent base for standard humanesque headshapes, but try to push it further and it can become quite messy (I had real troubles with my Betty Boop).

I realise a simplified mesh may be more off-putting to some people just starting out in sculpting who want the leg-up, so perhaps a choice of say two base meshes would be OK?

i agree with both of them.that would be a fair solution.so ncollings didn't waste his time ( he didn't waste it either !!! ) and can enter the challenge with his sculpt.

[DonShole]

I was just wondering how many of you guys use tablets (pen), and how many use just the mouse... And if you use a tablet which one would you suggest?

If you're up to it, you could build your own cintiq like device for about $200 http://www.bongofish.co.uk/wacom/wacom_pt1.html . That was roughly the cost of mine.


2.5 hours into my Afro Samurai piece:

[RTjunior]

Funkdelic: Sorry your having zbrush trouble. I love your dungeon master though.

[funkdelic]

thank you RTjunior :)

[goronking]

Here's my take on Snarf from thunder cats. had a mare doing the fur, and my mirroring broke before i was ready to turn it off, and all sorts. oh well, here he is. I've recorded it all, and if i don't hate it tomorrow i'll try and export the video out :D Admitadly, seeing me stroke, undo, stroke, massive smooth! might get a bit tiresome very quickly :D (Edit: got a bit stressed with the fur by the time it came to the back, slso didnt know what it should look like, so i didn;t really bother.)
Good work everyone,brilliant quality all round

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

Snarf looks pretty cool, Dungeon Master is superb!

[DonShole]

After 4 hours, again, not finished, but fun nonetheless :) Afro Samurai!

Good stuff guys :)

Here's something from me.I'm not really sure if I'm happy with the model, 'cause the damn thing is giving me the creeps :hmm: Oh and it's slightly over 3 hours of work.

[dalton_muniz]

hahaha..this Homer is so fun! Great job!

[inveni0]

Here's an update on my spongebob. I'm at 3 hours. I can't really think of anything else to do.

[DonShole]

Eka. The yubaba sculpt - nice.

[DELTATHUND3R]

ggggreat sculpts guys really nice some really wikked ones...lol at Homer it looks great :):)...
very nice guys :).

[AndrewQ]

The Yubaba came out really nice. Very acurate to the show!

The homer sculpt is seriously horrifying! Really life-like around the mouth and neck especially. It's sooo disturbing!


Hoss Delgado once again. I only have about 30mins left to tweak it, so I'm open to any suggestions! I'm really pleased with how quickly I got the base sculpt, but I kinda dawdled in egtting the expression the way I wanted it.
The eyepatch is an eye ball, the strap the upper teeth, and the teeth in his head are the lower teeth.

Ok here's another one from me it's Abu from Alladin

[MonteCristo]

Here's an update on my spongebob. I'm at 3 hours. I can't really think of anything else to do.

LOL! I love that you took a round shape and made it square. Usually in this game it's the other way around. If you're going to make a final adjustment, I would make the eyes a bit more striking. The pupils are a bit blurry.

[Coridium]

Hi all,

Some amazing work been shown already!

I have never done one of these sculpting challanges before, but thought I'd give it a go.

I decided to sculpt Nightcrawler, well a version of him at least. Think that x-men is a popular choice for sculpts, but I personally have not seen any of nightcrawler and thought that it would be cool to do him (though I'm sure that he has been done before). Not 100% sure what direction I'm going to take it yet, but have spent about 50 mins on it so far. Anyway this is an image and amimated gif of the progress So far. (currently only at sub-div 3, so lots to go, lol.)

Hello All. Here is the finished Mario. I was going for a disgruntled plumber approach rather then the super hero look of Mario. Hope you enjoy it. I had so much fun creating this. Great job everyone.

Wow, that Mario turned out awesome, great job man

[Dcflath]

Thanks Josh, I really appreciate that.

[Korda]

Hi,
I am finally on break from Uni. I have been itching to join this since the last challange.
I am thinking of doing Golliath from Gargoyles, Widget the World Watcher or a samurai pizza cat. I dont remember much about them just that they were awesome when i was a kid... well a younger kid

@ Dcflath nice mario have you seen the mario untooning its kinda cool

edit: some of those are a little bigger than expected... im new so sorry about the mess

[inveni0]

Yeah, I love that Mario! Nice.

Here's my final SpongeBob....no more for me. I took Monte's advice and fixed the eyes up a bit. Now I'm done.

I may have this turned into a print anyway, since it's my very first ZBrush character. AND, I think it would work good as one, too.

Peace. Good entries, everyone.

[ibrahim_gabr]

Hi everyone, awesome work guys I m astonished:crazy: this is my first try its a japanese charachter, maybe not the wisest choice but I ll try to do it, i have a question though is it possible to achieve that hair style without using subtools?? I tried the snake hook brush and it was very messy:(

Aleks-3DT:. Wow he looks great and he gives me the creeps too:D

Dcflath:. Sweeeet man he looks great, have you tried other materials on it I think it could be better represented with other materials maybe its just me.

eka:. Great job done there man!!!its a she is nt it??

Hi all!!

since no one doing the duck, this is my stab on donald duck.

its not finished, so far im putting 2 hours on this progress.

let me know what you guys think about it!

btw, the geometry not really prepare for something like this extreme spacing, so hard to pull off some shapes that i want.

well, comments and critiques are welcome.

best,

Excellent job rwijaya, it fit so well to the subject, and it makes him so funny.
One of my favorite so far.

Hello everyone !!

very interesting and great challenge to take on . . .

Well one of my favourite cartoon show is "Flintstones", so I hv decided to sculpt Fred Flintstone.

My sketching is not that good, but managed to draw what was in my mind.
Here is what I imagined -

[inveni0]

That duck is cool. Perfectly on topic. Nice job.

[nellemento]

I like your shader Nick can u share it?

[Sathe]

guys, im currently trying to figure out best methods for matcap creation if any of you want to test the ones out from my sig in the comp id appreciate it.

Here is my update

[ryvick]

That is a really cool DonaldDuck i was hoping someone would do donald or daffy.
thank you nellemento.

Whoa Emeth. Thats a realistic version of a cartoon based on a real person. You just blew my mind. :)

Here is 2 hours sketch of Fester.

Emeth, as always, watching your sculpts is a thrill. I recognized it was Fester even before I read your post and saw the reference. Could you share a few things about yourself? How much time have you been sculpting, is it a job or a hobby? :wave:

[kazmamurat]

emeth003; superb work! one of my favourites.

[goronking]

wicked uncle fester, looking forward to lurch and the finsihed one :D

[Deepam]

Now it's final update, I like this character very much

[VersionThirst]

Got my start on Monterey Jack from Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers. Progress after 1.5 hours:

[guhhh]

emeth as usual with great entrys!! great workk man......one of my fav so far

[capitan_popo]

ewijaya love the donald duck, one of my faves now
Emeth003 uncle fester looks great, cant wait to see lurch
I am dying without my computer, cant wait to get it back to get back to sculpting

[Wartooth]

VersionThirst: great start on Monterey Jack, I was thinking of trying him.

Having fun doing these and here's my 3rd one.
Meet William Murderface...Murderface Murderface :lame:

[Deepam]

Hey VersionThirst !! nice character to work on . . . this is one of my favourite show.

[slickster3112]

Actually I'm the same. Couldn't quite justify spending the money on something as snazzy as an Intuos 3, even though I want one ;). My daughter takes all the priority on money, so I needed to find something cheap. Nonetheless the Bamboo seems to be more than good enough. I was very surprised. :) I also really like that this one has a paper-like surface, rather than the plasticky, slidey type. If you can't stretch to a nicer one, I would say this at least is a must have compared to a mouse. Sculpting relies on pen pressure being a factor. V Important.

So, the small size is not a big deal?

[MonteCristo]

It doesn't bother me, Personally I prefer it. But I suspect I am a rarity in that respect.

[Deepam]

I got one more to do, my favourite show TALESPIN and the main character "Baloo"

http://www.reelfilm.com/images/talespin.jpg

[DonShole]

emeth003 Your Fester's a great sculpt!

[DaddyDoom]

Monty, that's a really cool tablet, considering the price (I'm having the same priority issue as you eheh). Been checking that link, and I'm getting more and more tempted to get on of those soon.

[JHarford]

good stuff so far everyone

[biano3d]

HI, i choose a character from animated series THUNDERCATS, the MONKIAN.
Use a reference from a cover magazine by JOE MADUREIRA (the master).

[Katonc]

here is my Donatelo wip, 2.5 hours in. The bow is temp for now. I am going to make it out of one of his teeth. I am also going to make a base from one of his eyes, and use the other teeth to finish off the head band. This one is fun. I am going to have to fly to get this done!

also like the powerpuff girls monkey ryvick
Have a question, can we delete geometry? make holes in the sculpts I mean

[ryvick]

thnx capitan. i dont think we can alter the base in any way. so i would say no, but wait for other people to reply to it too. just push the verts in instead of cut.

[Katonc]

Alright here is mine. I wish i could have subdivided more, but oh well, i still am pretty happy with it. I would like to revisit and fix some things. I hope you guys like it.

Decided not to finish my XLR8 character and just took a stab at Gir from Invader Zim. What do you guys think about it so far?

[kazmamurat]

katonc; he s real ninja turtle, superb work!

dalton muniz; i like your sculpt, especially face,

ryvick; nice sculpt, but i didn't like your shader, I mean your sculpt is looking very dirty with this shader.

ncollings; very clean sculpt, I like it.

biano; he s looking great, nice one.

[JHarford]

are we allowing different coloured geometry ? even with masking, it's basically a rudementry form of texturing. there has to be a line somewhere...

[freesupra]

holy moly so many great entries so far... there are some fantastic interpretations of cartoon to real life characters here great work everyone
heres something i started bout an hour ago. version of krusty the clown
really early still but i think the look i want is almost there

[Sathe]

Nellemento im gonna give you a double banana for being the first to use one of my matcaps :D

Nick - awesome :) he looks like those breasts are sagging a tad ;)

nellemento - awesome job! You totally captured his silly side [ I love when he's a bit dorky in the movie :)]

[ncollings]

Intervain: héhé thanks yeah , it's a slightly older version of wolverine... more mature, a bit idle :lame: I submited that one in the final thread even if i still prefer The Clown tho.

[M3N7H0L5]

Finally,I got something done for this challenge.the forth sculpt.

dalton_muniz:: that is one cool sculpt!I really like it!

Katonc:: my fav TMNT!

[ryvick]

guhhh :: wow that is a really really cool gargamel! cant wait to see final.
M3N7H0L5 :: buzzlightyear is done in a very cool way.
JHarford :: that is an impressive danger mouse, i hope ur not finished though since your missing the belt and cuffs. also why does he look more like a dog than a mouse? the side looks like a mouse for sure. http://utahhealthsciences.net/customer/image_gallery/373/5%20MOUSE.JPG
here is a white mouse for reference. the cartoon makes the nose fat, switch urs to a thinner nose i think. just a suggestion. it looks good the way it is too though.
freesupra :: thats a sad looking clown heheh good job getting it done right.
kazmamurat :: i used the antique shader cause it brings out the details properly. in the other shaders the hair and such fine details are not visible.

[bgen]

guhhh - nice start - i never like gargamel in smurfs. he was annoying but ure sculpt looks ace.
JHarford - danger mouse is ace.
freesupra - nice real-life version of krusty the clown. he needs to smile dough.
dalton_muniz - my favorite in this competion so far... nice liono

Dalton_muniz - Really nice thunder cats! Really stylized, and the expression is really solid
katonc - I like the way you attached the turtle to the base. Really nice presentation
makaveli - I can't wait to see gir finished

Soo many other great entries, It's gonna be tough to choose only three!!

I've used up every last second of the 4 hours, and I think it came out pretty decent. Definately learned a lot, I will do the hair differently next time, and better reference for the expression is a must. one last pic of Hoss Delgado for comparrison:

How do I change the BG from a dark grey to that nice gradient everyone has?

[JHarford]

under document settings, modify the first color swatch and then alter the settings for the gradient.

Ralph, great to see ya here, Welcome.

Sindwar - very nice and clean sculpt, good job !!

Emeth003 - good work on LURCH man !!

bgen - nice character, from one of my favourite show, but why you worked on whole body, if you do only bust, you can give much detailing and perfectness, as I think so.

Well, here is one more I am going to sculpt, again my favourite show "DUCK TALES" and the character name is "Uncle Scrooge"

Hey buddy !! it will be better if you update your zbrush version with the latest, coz very few or may be nobody is using 2 version now-a-days, so difficult for us to help, nobody knows ver2 interface.

As I use ver3, in this case -

1. Import obj file of eyes.
2. Save it as tool.
3. Load the "Body tool" (which you previously saved as tool)
4. In Subtool, append the eyes tool.

Hope this will help :)

[ncollings]

Waow lot of cool stuffs again, won't be easy to choose btw all of them :)

I'm afraid that you can't import and work on more than one object at a time in Zbrush 2. You should definetely consider to update your version of zbrush. Zbrush 3 is so much better :) .

[rwijaya]

Gosh! finally found sometime to finished this duck to full 4 hours!

comment are welcome :)

Mantis, ibrahim_gabr, inveni0, ryvick: THX for the encouragement :)

capitan_popo: thx for the kind word.

Sindwar: that's a kick ass pikachu!

Yeah..almost everybody uses up to date version because tutorials now a days are for newer ver.
mine is ver3.1,and my method is different but gives same result.can use both.here:

1. Import obj file of body.
2. Make PolyMesh3D.
3. Import obj file of eyes.Click back to body base mesh.
4. In Subtool, append the eyes.
5. Now,save your base with eyes as .ztl and start sculpting.
