Bobby Bubble - Artisan [SDS2]

[boofredlay]

Ever since I saw the character Bobby Bubble by Patrick Beaulieu a few years ago I wanted to model him in SketchUp. Until Artisan I have been unsuccessful.

No other plugins used, just native SU and SDS2 (Artisan).
27,517 polygons, 14,749 without the bubbles.
I spent a couple days playing with it here and there. Maybe 5 hours total.
Rendered with Twilight.

Wow...who would have thought this possible in SU? Great work, Boo

[Mike Lucey]

Eric .... I worry about you sometimes Great work though

[boofredlay]

Thanks Marcus.
No need to worry Mike, I am severely twisted. Oh, did I mention that I worked on that one in front of the mirror.

[Bryan K]

I like.

[TomDC]

Me too.

[Pilou]

Great modeling/texturing/rendering, Eric.

[boofredlay]

Thanks guys. It was fun making this little guy.

Now I'm really worried!

[jenujacob]

wow!
i am curious to see the proxy u made!

[boofredlay]

Thanks Jenu.

Here you go.

[jenujacob]

okay... that looks simple enuff!!!
thanks fred!

[Solidseal]

just curious

How long is SDS2(artisan) busy with working things out from proxy to model?

[boofredlay]

I am not sure I fully understand your question Solidseal.

From beginning to end I spent probably 5 hours but most of that was trying to figure out how I wanted to approach the shapes. Since I have made this now and if I wanted to model it again it might only take me an hour.

If you are asking how long it took the proxy to calculate from step 2 to step 3 in the image below it was only a few seconds.

[Solidseal]

Hmm cannot see the image ..
But I understand

have you ever tried to make the same model using SDS(1) and see the difference with SDS(2)

[boofredlay]

Well there is a big difference. Once I subdivide the mesh I did quite a bit of sculpting and vertex editing to get the final shape which cannot be done with SDS1, only Artisan.

[boofredlay]

Here is an example of the vertex select and move tool on this subdivision.

And here is a look at the sculpt and smooth brush.

Very nice Eric. Your work is always fun. SDS2 is so beyond promising I can hardly wait to get my anxious hands on it.

[jenujacob]
