Adam's Recent Sculpts

[Costorella_Stefano]

@Adam

First I have the object set to a high to mid high polygon count. In the case of the can it was around 160k.
Then I create an alpha map for the mask and turn the falloff to a flat line, the scale of the alpha down and the brush type to grab.
Once I have placed the mask I then zoom out the camera to make the object small and then set the paint brush on the biggest size to cover the whole mask. I try and press once or twice with the paint brush with maximum paint intensity. If you keep pressing and moving the paint brush over the alpha the edges of the alpha receive more paint and produces a blocky pixelated edge.

I have a separate layer for each paint colour which makes it easier to control and to then use the delete layer brush to clean up the colour. A bit like screen painting a print.

When I have finished painting I mask the areas of paint detail I won’t to protect and use the this decimate option. When it produces an okay result I unmask the protected areas and go over with the topology brush to reduce any extra polygons manually.

wonderful work, it’s super interesting

great idea, I’ll test it, and really nice artwork

[Panda_Ma]

Thanks for sharing

[Adam]

Thanks JimWatL.

With the new colour image painting I can improve parts of my models. But sometimes it can still be better to make shapes out of simple low density polygons instead of a heavy poly mesh to paint a shape.

Still a work in progress Speak and Spell for E.T.

Nicely done! Stephane needs to seriously consider box-modeling and UV functionality next. And retopology! If Pixologic isn’t going to address iPadOS, Nomad Sculpt needs to lead the way!

[Adam]

Thanks Steve.

Stéphane looks to have the lead on a Zbrush for iPad.
When/if Stéphane adds box modelling and UV it will open up more possibilities.

Sometimes it’s nice to be surprised by new features instead of promising and not delivering just to please.

But it never hurts to ask.

Congratulations Adam … You are my idol … I am surprised by the possibilities of this wonderful application …
I still don’t know how you get your ipad to not explode .
There are many concepts that still escape me … Congratulations!

you are so productive, do you make it like like everyday sculpt? anyway amazing work

[Adam]

Thank you for your kind words.
Polygon optimisation is key and a great piece of 3D software. Playing with how far you can push Nomad on your device let’s you know your limits. I’m still using the same iPad I was using 123D Sculpt Plus with.

[Adam]

I usually have several sculpts on the go at the same time. Helps to not over work a model and switch to another sculpt with fresh eyes. I don’t create something new everyday but I do always use Nomad everyday.

Another work in progress. This time Nestor the clone from the 1980 low budget B movie Battle Beyond The Stars.

Genko3D’s skull coin inspired me to have a go at the Copper Bones skeleton key from the Goonies film. A work in progress. Hard to find accurate reference material. A lot of replicas are not correct.

I probably will have a go at the Auryn soon.

[Genko3D]

Hehe, very nice!

[Adam]

Thanks Genko3D.

Another Goonies sculpt. This time a work in progress of One Eyed Willy.
