I had to take an unexpectedly long break from Modo. For two reasons, my Desktop was damaged during the storm years ago and my Laptop was getting old and slow. It just couldn't handle the wonderful power of Modo. I used Modo indie for a while but I quickly outgrew it. So now I have to basically pickup where I left off. This is not the first time I've had to relearn Modo after long periods of time without using it. But this time around it was much easier to use. With a lot of changes and updates and a new PC, Modo is even more pleasant than before. Below are two current works. Please don't be impressed by the human model. That was done with MakeHuman so I could have a face to paint and texture and checkout how UV's work in Modo. The cup however, I modelled. The texture isn't completely symmetrical yet but it will be. It's a simple and modest tea cup. Soon I will make a second version, turning it into a cappuccino cup. After playing around with the face, ...

Tiara For Himi by DraconianRain on deviantART This mode was created in Blender, Zbrush, Topogun and the texture painted in Clip Studio Paint.

So I've been using Zbrush 4r5 for a little while and these are all my experiments so far. The two females though were started in 4r5 and then sculpted further in 4r6. I'm excited to use zremesher but I haven't made much to have a use for it just yet. Still excited though.

Ok so the last thing I did in ZBrush 4r5 was decorative shoes. And I'm very proud of them even if they aren't very level. I'm also extremely excited to try out the new ZBrush that's been released! Then new remesher looks AMAZING! Anyway, back on task. Here's my work: Spent a fair amount of time on these. This is going to be very exciting for me to post my learning progress of what I make in ZBrush. I'll post some more things slowly through the week. Takes a fair amount of time for me to sculpt still. Still beginner and learning but very excited.

So my grandfather gifted me money to buy Zbrush! Can't believe it. I never see that kind of money for myself and I'm very grateful. I'm going to put it through good use. I've been on and off with 3D but I very badly wanted zbrush since I'm just one of those people that's better suited to sculpting. I can make nice faces in an hour. Nothing pro but pleasing to look at. I was using sculptris and Blender for the longest time. But enoough rambling. Here's a few screen shots of some of the models I've been making on the side during other projects and when I needed some me time rest. It looks like more work than it is but I haven't spent more than an hour on each except for that creepy looking doll thing. It took I think 2 or 3 hours. Because I kept screwing it up and also because I was having so many tablet issues, I decided some mouse modelling would be more fun than sitting and waiting for my tablet to update. As you can see, ...
