hahaha.. thats pretty cool Robert, didn't notice that 🌜

Some progress on the modeling, changed some colours to match my original concept more. Will be work on the texturing next. ( looking forward to playing with A:M Paint for texturing. )

Geez 120 hour week!!! here I thought working over the weekend was bad... Wish you a good launch and rest Paul

Welcome back! Wish I had more free time to help out, sounds like a fun project. What have you been working on if you don't mind me asking?

Fantastic Robert!!! Great to see animated radiosity done in A:M

Thank you David!

Thanks Robert! It's common for buddha statues to have what looks like spherical tight curls but the story goes they are snails that covered his head to protect him from the rain.

Was reworking a 3d print version of this bust the past week. some day I'll have to get back to finishing the original I made in A:M. the wavy hair and a few other details were added in zbrush for the print. but I'd like to give him the snails on his head fix the crazy topology and give him a body... I have the green keychain hanging in my cars rearview mirror.. I thought it would be something to inspire a sense of calm during traffic jams (which was a daily occurrence when I drove into the office.)

Great deal, thanks for sharing Roger!

Blocked in some more shapes, will work on refining some of the shapes and poses of the hands/fingers. .

Aww shucks... I guess a good reason to attend Live Answer.

Interesting Robert! Do you have a video of what you demonstrated?

Thanks David!

A wee bit of progress...

It was seeing my old A:M CDs on my bookshelf everyday while working from home, that got me interested in checking out A:M again. yeah my bookshelf is a total mess.

No problemo Jirard 👍

Thanks Jirard! No post processing used.. just straight from the render. Here is my WIP if you like to take a look at my settings. Moon_Guy_03.prj

Some modeling progress...

He really was like the Van Gogh of music, so many of us creatives can identify with his struggle. You pour your heart and soul into your craft and it doesn't always get recognized. Best quote in the La Times article: “VW does it again,” and “Now when I think of VW, I think of Nick Drake and not Hitler.” 😂 😂 😂

Always learning something from ya!.. never heard of Nick Drake before but giving his music a listen.

Been hard to decide what to work on for the Fall 2020 Image contest! But think I'm settled on this awkward guy. He is something I sketched up a number of years ago. Every so often when I rifle through my hard drive he resurfaces and I think it will be cool to make him in 3d, but then get busy with something else and he gets shelved..... again. So anyway... here goes the more serious attempt to bring him to life.

Happy Halloween Chuck, That was Awesome!!! Now I'm craving garlic. 🧛‍♂️

Hahaha... I know how that goes. So many fun ideas that take so much time to make.

Nice models Jirard! Like your character design and modeling. You have plans to use them in an animation? : )
