Is this SketchUp? Seriously?
Wow.

[olishea]

thanks guys.

miguel: I started off with a sphere and used FFD to get the general sweeping shape. I then used wings 3d to subdivide it.... then triangulate, offset and finally sweep ( sweep = same as joint push pull)

you can do all this with 'subdivide and smooth' but it takes a lot longer......and not as reliable.

wings3D is a great bit of fun I really recommend it...and its free!!

Oli,
have you played with Sculptris yet?
It's so fun I had to take it off my computer so I could get some real work done. no. seriously. I did.

But I saw a minute ago that a new alpha was released just last week, so there goes my evening... (hope he's fixed obj export!)

[olishea]

oh my god that looks so good, cheers matey

[olishea]

and wow you are very talented fletch!!

[Fletch]

aww shucks.


The Alpha 2 is fantastic btw - OBJ export seems more reliable/stable (worked every time for me so far)
don't have my obj importer installed for SU at the mo. so just opened it in KT and rendered.
