something organic

I had some fun with Wings 3D and SketchUp!

I like it. Nice work.

we need to put together a cool material preview scene for Twilight, and I am afraid that SketchUp's native UV mapping tools will not allow us to do so... it may be a Wings/SU exercise I'm afraid...

This is inspiring! Wings3D is quite fun.

When working in Zbrush or Wings for my first time I had nothing specific to build, so felt a bit like standing on the edge of an ocean and not sure where to swim...

thanks guys.

fun to make and very very easy. you should see how fast smoothing is in wings.....just click S on your keyboard...wow!! I started off with one of their default shapes and extruded/scaled/smoothed/inflated some faces. but be careful you dont smooth it too much or it wont import into sketchup. there are a couple of small tutorials on how to use wings...like i say its very very easy.

I wish you could paint textures in sketchup (like zbrush). projection is just not enough any more. I dont know how to texture in wings yet but apparently its straight foraward.

here's a close up of the original render, bit noisy but who cares!

UV mapping in wings is pretty easy. There are a variety of "auto" modes, and the manual UV editor is pretty easy to work with. I think if SU had something similar that would be awesome.

Looks very cool!

Funny I have made something similar in the past with Zbrush
(it's not 3D, only 2.5 D) interest? : you make that in 20 seconds!
So possibility to explore infinite visual results in no time!
That you can't make in real 3D+rendering

And now we've two organic hunks altogether. Great work both!
