Artisan Plugin (SDS2).....Cave

[olishea]

I have been beta testing the Subdivide and Smooth 2 plugin....Artisan. It's AMAZING!!

It makes organic modeling and sculpting so fantastically simple.

Here are some results. Modeled and textured completely within SketchUp and rendered with Thea.

It works for mac as well

Because he nicked my idea!! He modeled it to show me how it could be done in other external apps after I showed him this scene

I wasn't allowed to post these images until today! naughty michalis! we email each other tips and tricks etc.

thanks guys, its fun to use.

[michaliszissiou]

Excellent work oli,
@numbthumb, it was after I saw oli's conceptual art. His idea then.

[michaliszissiou]

lol posting same time.

[numbthumb]

Aaah...on second thought.. Where are we?
Cheers, guys!

[Krisidious]

WOW...

[michaliszissiou]

Aaah...on second thought.. Where are we?

we need Pete here, I'm sure he has something to say on this.

Looks great!...a new sketchup era is coming ...(nothing to do with google)

[olishea]

Ah thanks guys! yeah a new era of sketchup!!

numbthumb.....this was the scene i tried to create for "where are we" but it didn't work, i could never get the roof looking right (thats why there never was one!), so this is a more polished version perhaps.

this cave series is called "We Made It"

[numbthumb]

And you certainly did. Congratulations!

After creating Bobby Bubble I had fun with Oli's cave.

[Roger]

Fred and Oli, together you have created the perfect image of how my sinuses felt for most of this week.

[olishea]

yeah sorry roger....im always making grungey, snotty, obstructed scenes!

maybe this will lighten your mood?

[numbthumb]

An excellent looking urchin?

[olishea]

look closer!

or click to enlarge (so to speak)

[numbthumb]

It still can prick, eh?

[Rich O Brien]

That gives me the willies

Would be brilliant if it would glow in the dark like that in real life

yeah i wouldn't need a light on my camcorder

stop bastardizing my renders lol

[michaliszissiou]

Something its happening with this cave oli, I tried to tell you but you didn't listen.
Lot of weird creatures will visit it, I know.

[David_H]

stop bastardizing my renders

Think of it as An "Homage"

Its only cuz they are just so awesome.
We're not WORTHY!!!

[olishea]

thanks man hehe, i'm making a tutorial for this scene...from modeling to rendering to photoshop touch-up. It could literally be made in minutes, although it took me hours of fannying around.

[TomDC]

i'm making a tutorial for this scene

That's, like, totally awesome, as the Bard would've put it.

[olishea]

it'll be done in march. very simple for rendering etc...there are only 2 materials, water and rock.

a view from above. look how clean the mesh is around the column caps, its completely homogenous, no intersecting or anything....thats a typical proxy to the right. Deleting internal faces helps create a clean result. (remove inner faces.rb). this is an early version of the model before I sculpted the floor, notice how it was flat.....you can paint contours into it. i removed the walls for clarity....they were made using the free hand tool, push pull and then artisan, about 5 minutes each.

just messing around:

a remake of pollen, to see if its possible in SU.

[Ecuadorian]

To beta testers:
Does it behave like Wings 3D, where you can toggle from proxy view/smooth view with just a key press?

Have we mentioned we can't wait.
Really cool stuff.
