THE Sculpting Challenge - 009 - Magical Staff

[Longhi]

Thanks a lot freespace...I can really understand how difficult is to keep all this things right, but here we're again....so, lets sculpt!

Delta, this is becoming great...I'm loving this.
I'll start my one today, come on, this challenges are moving up a good energy for everybody.

thanks freespace! yeah those trinkets are coming soon! i am loving the challenge, a whole lot of fun

[cookedmouse]

I want to give this a try. This would be my first challenge, and also my first attempt using zbrush.

[Freespace-3DT]

cookedmouse: Welcome, then! If it's your first time using Zbrush, you might try downloading the free Mudbox trial first, and see how that works for you. It's much easier to use, but ( until Mudbox 2009 comes out in a few days ) Zbrush can let you subdivide a LOT further and do more intricate sculpts.

[M_Cederstrom]

freespace It all your. LOL

[cookedmouse]

Actually, I did mess around with zbrush before, and comparing to Mudbox. I thought Zbrush is a bit easier and more intuitive. But this is my first attempt doing a project. But thank you Freespace for the advice!

Aleks: Hahahaha, got you out of your lair with that one, didn't I? Well, I've read somewhere that it comes out on the 6th October. And over at Autodesk, it says

Pricing and Availability
Autodesk anticipates that Mudbox 2009 will be available in October 2008. Mudbox 2009 will be supported on the Microsoft Windows XP Professional and Microsoft Windows Vista operating systems.

It's gonna be awesome! And I hope you get a few hours until the 14th for this. It would be a shame to miss out on the fun. And one of those 7inch prints.


longhi: It's really cool and brutal. Someone shoved a staff up that orc's neck. What it could use, in my opinion, is having someting pierced in the orc's ear hanging down. Use a trinket for it if you've got any left.

bgen: Hey, I'm hoping you're in this too, dude. You've got skillz.

Wow this is so cool! Thanks for the info ^^
As for challenge,we'll see...I wish the theme was a bit more organic if you know what I mean But I haven't checked the base mesh yet,so maybe I'll change my mind once I see it.

Anyway,I'm gonna go to bed now with a huge smile on my face. *mmmmmm Mudbox 2009....*

P.S. Sorry for the off topics.

[Freespace-3DT]

Aleks: You'll love the base mesh, it's very complex and I worked hours and hours topologizing it for you people. You'll see. We'll return to organic themes next time. Sleep tight........ muddy box
