The Hardcore Modeling MINI-Challenge #1: The David

#41

i m in
everybody welcome :smiley:

#42

3 Pages and no WIPS. Damn, you people are afraid to face the master. Well, me too.

#43

I like to wait until Iā€™ve something decent to show before showing it)
Nothing worse than a WIP showing 3 polygons.

#44

hey, can i model his genitals? :stuck_out_tongue:
iā€™ll definately be doing thisā€¦ great idea! iā€™ll probably do the arm or headā€¦

#45

Fun!

Iā€™ll join in if I can.

#46

It would at least give me something to do to eat away the downtime. I will try and enter.

Damn it!!
I was planning to make this model for my own portfolio before this challenge,and I had gathered many references (containing the ones written hereā€¦)to do it in a near future, but nowā€¦ because of the F**king assignments I canā€™t even touch it, otherwise I would certainly join this competition.
Damn it!..

#48

Great Challenge! If I want to model more than one body part can I make all my work one entry? or do I have to do seperate entries for each?

Ok Iā€™m in my WIP thread is HERE

#49

wow, nice choiceā€¦ will be following this!

#50

Oh here are some orthographical imagesā€¦




#51

This is quite a challenge - a model with such high level of detail in such short span of time 0_o - absolutely crazy [in a good way!] Wish I could enter :] Still, good luck to everyone.

#52

Nice challange, I might have some time for a body part (probably the right hand since i like itā€™s pose.)! Good luck to all.

#53

Robert, is there a way to zoom in on the ScanView? Thanks for giving us all those references, usually takes me a couple days to find all the pics for me.

Here is the link to my thread.

Thanks for this challenge, and that ScanView is super cool!

Iā€™m not a organic modeler, but going to give this a go. :thumbsup:

#55

zoom = crtl+LMB. To move the light itā€™s ctrl+RMB.

I think it will be interesting to see peopleā€™s strategies for this. I am goign to model it in itā€™s current pose, in parts, the way it was sculpted, but Iā€™m sure some will do the common T-stance, pose it after, and then tweak the mesh.

#56

Good Idea.

#57

Oh :eek: strong idea.
But, these last images already deserve the award :stuck_out_tongue:

#58

This is it :slight_smile: Im in.

#59

Wheepp ā€¦ the huge david database is for user onlyā€¦
i wish i had just one of this model to look at, better.
Anyway i like this challenge. Maybe iā€™ll do the right foot
(i like the pose) or the full figureā€¦
Dunno if i get extra timeā€¦ Hmm - Good luck everyone.

edited: whoo stupid meā€¦ Iā€™ve just installed scanview andā€¦ surpise!!

But you must have in mind the sculpture is intended to be viewed from ground level
so they are greater than the real ones so you must donā€™t look your own for reference!!! :shrug:

Well, I am afraid. My first man modelled ever if I enter. The most difficult part for me
is face of course. In the face you moves a vertex a milimeter and the entire face changes
so I think judges will be focusing on the face to find the winner. If I enter and I achieve
a good face I will be satisfied.
