Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Dango's Doodles
Just starting this thread to stick random bits and pieces in,
I've got so little time to do anything much 3d wise lately that quick doodles here and there is about all I can manage.
I wish I could have spent a bit more time on the horror challenge, I had what I thought would be a great idea, but in the end 4 short days in 2 months was all I could spare!
Anyhow, been playing about last night and this morning (as I finally have a day spare to have some maya fun!) and inspired by Stwerts alien I realised I hadn't ever tried one, so had a little go at one. Not sure if I'll do any more to him, but here he is for now.
*EDIT*
After reading Daverave's question about changing the thumbnail image of the wip thread on the wip page I thought I'd try out changing it myself, by adding a new one to the first post, deleting the original, then reuploading the original to the same post so as the thread will still make sense. It worked! yay! I just wanted the other picture as it's better really...lol

it's just a base mesh made in Maya, with some sculpting and detailing work in Zbrush.
Nothing too fancy really, and the teeth were from the previous model I did, just reshaped to fit his mouth for time savings sake.
His little beard is just made up of a cylinder deformed with a lattice and then duplicated/repositioned multiple times etc.
I have since decided when I have some more spare time to polypaint him. Just have to see when I can get another day off work! lol

I couldn't resist giving him a coat of paint before I go out, wanted to stay away from green, so went for a brown instead, will do some more to him when I get back in tonight I think
Just got to make sure I don't get carried away and end up late for work in the morning due to hours of polypainting shenanigans....lol

Unzip and stick it in the alphas folder in the start up folder of your ZBrush program files (proper instructions are at the Pixologic Download Center. )
Or just say thanks, smile and ignore me... ha
