Making Cartoon characters

[ely862me]

please make the TAZ

[solo]

During the forum downtime I seemed to have some extra time to play so here is Taz.

[urgen]

....

[HFM]

Haha, your Taz is briliant!

[Marian]

If you are still taking requests how about making...Jabberjaw

[cheffey]

whoa!
Solo you are beyond mastery... you are a sketchup grandmaster

[kwistenbiebel]

Requests?

This is my favorite Belgian toon (made by Marc Legendre).
You'll probably see why

[jenujacob]

TOM + JERRY
ASTERIX + OBELIX???

[ely862me]

Thx a lot!!May i have the taz?!

[solo]

Thanx guys.

LOL@Biebel, never seen that one before.

Actually not sure I know Jabberjaw (unless he is part of the Mermaid thing.)

jenjacob, I have done Asterix and Obelix, infact I did the entire Gaul village, the Roman outpost and a few legionares (Max, z-brush, SU). However I cannot even display them as it was done on contract and I waived my rights to them on sale (would not wanna p*ss my client off as they give me lots of work)

ely862me, I will send it to you later in PM (it may be a little large as fine mesh was used on detail areas)

This easier that I thought to make, 20 minutes.

[Marian]

Another masterpiece SOLO
Here is some info on Jabberjaw who's just a small piece of my childhood, but he was funny.

How about Darkwing Duck?

[boofredlay]

Oh yea, I used to watch Jabberjaw too.
Nice work Pete.

Solo, these are really amzing

I use sketchup daily, but obviously I have missed the release of these plugins that you are using. I will have to update my ruby collection, because I use simillar workflow as you do, but I do my organic modeling in max. I hope that it is as easy and fast to use as in max?

Keep it up, I really like your work

[reymond]

pete, cann your write us a easy to use tutorial as works correctly with the sub smooth?

thats perfect.

[solo]

Ely, check your Pm for model.

Coen & reymond, I will get to a tut later (attempt another video one)

Had a few other things to finish this morning so here is a fast darkwing duck, still needs detailing.

[solo]

Okay here is a fast tutorial, I believe this will help folk understand my process better.

In the .skp provided below are two components/models, one is the basic head shape and the other is a basic ear shape, both are rather simple.

Use these two shapes to understand how Sub-smooth works, now! Explode and group each model/component seperately. Click on on group and then on the subsmooth icon (and select 2 Iterations. Once both are smoothed, resize and position ear (make a copy of the one you smoothed for other side) and rhen using shapes (sphere) create eyes and nose.

It should look like this when completed.:

[boofredlay]

Beautifully simple. Thanks Pete.

[madllama]

Hey Solo!

Love your work! Really nice looking.
If you have some time over, maybe you can try doing Gizmoduck?

Keep up the good work!

Maybe I will give old Obelix a try myself. He's nice and round.

[bubbalove]

Hahaha.... Darkwing Duck looks fantastic! Is it possible to get that model from you Pete? I have someone here at work who will go crazy when he sees this! Awesome work dude!

[madllama]

Keep up the awesome work Solo!
