awesome tutorial..iwas really wondering... and of course, crazy results!

[kwistenbiebel]

The Patrick star really makes me smile.
The rendering also is really good.The softness will definitely appeal to children.

@Richard,
Nice to see you here
Be welcomed.

[HFM]

Haha, nice what's your next one, Mr Crab?

[eeva]

solo, i can only sit here and have my mouth open... awesome! (try finding words, while your mouth is open... )

as gary is my favourite, i would vote for gary (the cat/snail) as the next one!

[marked001]

[tomsdesk]

You're a scary combo, Pete: wild and crazy, awesome skill, and an excellent eye for essence...sure glad you're on this side of the force.

[solo]

As long as we're making requests, how about squidward with his clarinet?

(Did I mention how amazing thing is )

[CADken]

wow... i retire

very nice!

[solo]

I hope y'all don't mind me post away on this thread with my doodles.

If I get the time I will do Squidworth and Mr. Krabb, I am busy with a few of my own characters at moment.

[boofredlay]

That is a serious spongy bumpmap there Pete.

[solo]

Krabb still in progress.

[nomeradona]

love this thread pete. go ahead and keep updating it.

[Marian]

How about making Ironman . Very cool stuff and really pro work.

[solo]

Marian, I do have an Ironman already (though it was pre super plugins and low poly)

I have started with Squidwort Tentacles, so far:

[solo]

[kwistenbiebel]

...nice !!!
Whaat must be pleased seeing this kind of results using his subsmooth plugin.


Any chance going 3D Warehouse with those toon models?

P.S: I love the renderings.

[solo]

Chris, I was going to rig them with bones for animation and flog them on Turbosquid in .max format.

If you want any let me know I will send them to you.

[kwistenbiebel]

Oh I see. Looks like a fine idea rigging them up.

It would be cool if Sketchup could do rigging and bone structures.

Thanks for the offer, but maybe I need to use some spare time to try some of that modeling on my own. Experimenting=learning, right?

[Marian]

Hmmm bones in Sketchup, that's a good idea for a ruby if ever i heard one.

hi solo!i was wondering if u can and like to make the Taz model(tazmanian);i tried a lil and is quiet hard because i never tried something like that

i didn t want to quit so i made something else,i hope u don t mind if i put few pictures here

[lapx]

scooby doo!!!

[kwistenbiebel]

By the way Coen, your model is really good as well.
Maybe one subd. iteration will make it nice 'nd smooth.

[Stinkie]

Great stuff, Pete.

[solo]

Daffy Duck. The beak was not easy, even though it looks pretty simple getting the right curve was essential in the overall likeness.

[human]

Wow Solo. Truly impressive.(ya, i'm sure you've heard stuff like that a million times already. ) how DID you do the beak?

[solo]

Thanks, yes I do hear it a lot and I love it, thats the whole reason for posting

The beak was done using Subdivide and smooth, FFD and a lot of close up mesh manipulating. The beak took longer than the rest of model combined, but now it's saved and I hopefully never have to make another.
