It's just a sketch... to find a good finish. After the completition, i'll do the retopo with blender in a low-res version. With the high res i'll create the normalmap. It's a long way to finish this modelling project. I also wanna texture, rig, animate, and render this character

It's a big fun to cupt with sculptris.
Can't wait the tesselation-modelling tool in blender -> now in a alpha or betha version. Cause in blender you could also use sublevels....

Hey Pappenheimer, this is where i'm at so far... not perfect, but its decent





hey maslone1, very good work man!!!

question:
i tried to import the OBJ in the latest blender alpha (around 1 000 000 polys, ~80mb) and it crashed every time... tried reducing the detail a litte in Sculptris and nothing.... the OBJ opens in Silo, Vue, Unwrap3D with no problem... do you guys have any idea? 10x

Hey nuclear_winter!

Your work is also great. Just some little details you have to resculpt (Mouth-area, ear-position) I realy like the hair you've sculpted!

My biggest mesh was about 700T, and I had no problems, but very strong slowdowns! I still use Blender 2.49b on windows xp and a quite old system, Pentium 4, 1Gb RAM, Ati X300.
Did you save former versions? Then you could test which one still imports.
I didn't use the paint tool and imported it into Blender jet.

Nice results so far.

In case you need to correct proportions now or later, I found the grab tool very handy to adjust the overall shape.

Well, my model just have 349,602 triangles. I think at the end it will be about max. 600,000. The very high details will be done via bumpmap-painting.
To keep the trianglecount low, i use the detail-button, and the reduzebrush.

Could you show your 700T modell please?

cheers
Masl

Ups, hope you didn't guess, I meant 700 triangles. Sorry, I meant 700T triangles = 700.000 triangles.

no, i know that the "T" stands for thousand -> 700,000 thousand triangles

SO the 700,000 triangles slowdown your old pc system...
my system is also old (2004). 3,4ghz singlecore, 1024ram, ati radeon??? i don't know anymore . But my pc calculates the 500,000 triangles without any problems. My notebook, is the slow system.
about 100,000 triangles, and a can stop sculpting. With 1 frame per 10 seconds it took all the fun you have with sulptris....

Still something that could be misunderstood in my post:
It slows down very much in Blender, in Sculptris it is okay.

I agree! I have the same "problem". But it only slow-down my system during i change into the edit-mode, or if i select my model. Without selecting or changing into edit-mode it runs perfect.
Keep in mind -> you can also sculpt in blender without selecting the object.
So the framerate keeps the green area.

I am afraid my laptop isn't able to edit my streetpolice-model. I think a systemcrash will follow soon.....

new update of my model again:

i did some corrections on the torso. Sorry, but that guy hasn't got a t-shirt anymore.
