So I just discovered
Sculptris, a free, stripped-down version of Zbrush, from the good people over at Pixelogic. I downloaded it on Tuesday and pretty much figured out how to use it based on clicking and pointing. Seriously, it's a VERY intuitive and easy-to-learn program.
Anyway, I just thought I'd stop by to share a few of my results with you all! I'm really loving how easy it is to use and I'm planning on using it in the future as I do conceptual work for future custom figures! Sculpy and spare figures are expensive... Sculptris allows me to do all the measuring I could possibly want before ever laying knife to putty!
Here's my first effort. I just wanted to figure out how to use it to create a basic human head.
And here's my second effort. Figured I'd try for a Zabrak, got kind of side-tracked into the Hellmouth!
By combining the organic things I can craft in this program with the buildings and other geometric shapes I can create in Sketchup, I also see tremendous potential for webcomic making! If nothing else, it would sure fill up a cantina with the scum of the galaxy!
