Who wants to smell like a Duracell… everyone right?

As of late I have been tooling around with Sculptris Alpha 6 and ZBrush on the side. Here is something I have whipped up then rendered in modo. Sculptris is truly an amazing program it dynamically adds polygons as you model and it’s insanely easy to pick up and use. I made this cowboy/minotaur after three or so hours of using Sculptris for the first time.

Had this lens for almost four years until the wind knocked over my tripod yesterday. I do take a lot of photos for reference material but I’m no photographer so it’s the only lens I have/had besides the kit lens. I’m definitely going to get a new one, you never miss what you are shooting with it.

Re-composition of the Analog Rotary Mobile Phone I re-rendered last week I thought it needed some extra stuff laying around it.

Nice! The company that makes my favorite 3D program modo is using my Sonic Disruptor for its developers page.
Thanks Luxology!

I wanted to see how long it would take me to model and texture something random. So I grabbed whatever I could snag on the desk to the left of me without looking. An unused Honey Mustard Sauce pack was what I happened to pick up. After 48 minutes I felt I had something that could pass as useful. My end result is far from perfect but very useful for a prop for a future project. The render here that you see took about 20 minutes I did not include that in my time because that is dependent on computer hardware.

Had some fun building this so I could acclimating myself to some of the new features of 501. You can find the WIP here.
Even with production sketches it was trickier than I thought it would be to model in 3D, I thought I would knock it out in less than a day.
Something kind of cool that I noticed while researching this subject is that the show had a heavy art nouveau style to it.
That was something I was completely unaware of as a youngster and It’s a style I really like as an adult.
So now I’m wondering if this show had an influence on that?

Here is simple inside the vein walk-through I built using Unity 3D and modo. In it you can walk around some blood cells.
This is just a proof of concept nothing fancy (there are no textures and the blood cells are not animated for instance)
I also wanted to see how well it would play in WordPress, and as you can see it does very well.
