Creature of Legend ( Nudity )

[Neil_F01]

yeah i know.. but i'm not really entering into this comp.. i dont really have the time to get something worthwhile.. i do love the griffin and polysmooths entry so far.. ghosts videos using 3.5 were cool.. wouldn't mind getting my hands on that.. lol

but seriously.. UV's.. Is it best to export the mesh out as a low poly then UV and bring back into zbrush.. or just detail it and take it out..

[Renan Leser]

I finished my base mesh, at last.

It took some time to find a good proportion for 5 heads in the same "dragon".

The wings gave me a beating as well.

Three hours by know, made this from scrath. Soon will be posting my videos in youtube, first I gotta compact them, they have 800MB!

Seven hours to sculpt and pose in ZBRUSH!

Quoting Anakin Skywalker: "This is when the fun begins!"

Gook luck to everyone!

is someone got the Zbrush 3.1 print exporter plugin?!
at pixologic.com i only found the 3.5 plugin ;x

Well, didn't take this much further than my last update, but I'm happy with the end result. Ended up loosing a bit of time trying to get in a good pose, but I decided to just leave it as neutral, just seems creepier to me.

I'm going to try to upload my video's if I can later, but first I need help figuring out how to playback my sculpt in zbrush after I've saved all the commands (any help with that would be appreciated)

The 3d print idea is awesome, but I don't think I'm going to have the chance to submit my model before hand as I'm leaving tonight and won't be back before the 30th. Is it critical to submit it before the judging goes through? I'm somewhat confused why this cannot be done afterwords.

Polysmooth: great work as usual, I really enjoy the results of your sculpts.
maxtx: awesome final work, I like the anatomy work, seems to work well even though it's a fantasy creature.
hulahuga: Great dragon man, I was thinking there were going to be a number of dragons, but it seems you've got pretty much everything covered.
paulius-st: I agree with Freespace, use that extra half hour and just carve in some form into the hand. Especially given the pose he's in. Cool stuff otherwise.
delavega: Thanks, yeah the character is a little more obscure, I've only ever heard of it in ghost stories. But one particular story "The Wendigo" from the Alvin Schwartz story collection "Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark", this what I always imagined the wendigo looked like. From what the "official" legend says, the look of the creature always varies, a lot of the ref I collected was very different, from human creatures to dead horse creatures to werewolf like ones. So I kinda was just exploring different idea's for most of it.

Crap!Totally ran out of time..Really wanted to take this one further though...oh well. Still managed to pose him though. It was good fun working on it and I may take it further outside the contest. Cheers all!

Alright everyone, there are a lot of very good sculpts here. Don't forget there are three days left for you to submit them in the Final Submissions thread.

Also, if you haven't read about the 300$ print of your sculpt in case you win first place, know this:

As you all no doubt know, among a ton of other stuff, the first place winner will also receive a 300$ 3d print of their sculpt, from Shapeways. However, you will need to upload your model to Shapeways, before the judging begins, to qualify.

In other words, along with your final sculpt, get this sorted as well in due time. Otherwise you might miss out on a beautiful print in case you win first place.

Basically you just act as a regular user there, but without making the order and then if you win it's ready to go.

Also the size depends on the material, you can even have it made in metal!

Awesome sculpts all around...

I got 2 hours left and I still gotta pose him. Wish I
had time to work some areas up...Maybe I'll keep it
going once the comp is over, refine some things...

Hello to all, very beautiful work here, congratulations to all!

Freespace-3DT: Sorry I have doubts as to send my model for print, how to proceed? We must send the model in zbrush, or prepares it in some way? My model is not in a position that has support to remain standing, I wonder if I have to prepare a piece for it stand up if it is printed. And lastly we have to subscribe and send directly to the company, as we identify it pra know that it is in relation to the 3dtotal prize? Tanks!!!

[Freespace-3DT]

maxtx: First of all you need to sign up: http://www.shapeways.com/register ; Then you Upload. Though, I have no idea about the rest of the process or the requirements. I'll ask Tom about it and we'll get back to you, and all members who would like this if they win 1st place.

[maxtx]

Freespace-3DT Tanks! I'm waiting! I registered, but the rules say that if you send the model has a lot of rules to be followed, my fear is the model up and commit to printing, and did not win anything you know? It would be better better send to you? Hug! Excuse my English!

Hey guys
There is a video tutorial on pixologic.com that show the whole pipeline for a printable character.

Check it out!

[Freespace-3DT]

Ok guys, here's the workflow for uploading to Shapeways. This is to be eligible for winning the first prize of a free 3d print of your sculpt! This must be done before judging of the entries.

Everyone MUST do this:

Register at Shapeways: http://www.shapeways.com/register

Once you've activated your account via email and you're logged in, choose upload a design. Read this for an understanding of how this process works: http://www.shapeways.com/tutorials/h...shapeways-work

Basically you do all the steps there, you can even choose the material you want it printed it ( remember the price limit is 300$ ), but you will stop at the point where you actually order it, because if you win first place you'll get it for free.

Just an update on my Tiamat model. This is the Red Head I've just finished.

Running against clock!

Finally had some time to sit down and get at this. Hopefully I will be able to knock out the rest in time. This is my progress at about 5.5 hours. My recording of hour 3-4 didn't save properly or something , so I've got a hole in my recorded workflow
