Here is a little illustration work created in less than 2 days with trueSpace7.5 and Artweaver. Artweaver (http://www.artweaver.de/index.php?id=59,141,0,0,1,0) is a Photoshop-like free software. Its UI is brushes-oriented and I like it for natural painting of textures.
Here is the link to final picture. (http://emmanuel.asset.free.fr/pics/octave.jpg)
Below are screenshots of the different stages.
Note that I am working in Modeler with the help of a Player/Workspace window to show the lightening changes in real-time. Bridge must be set to ON at this step. |

trueSpace offers a very efficient workflow.
The part that was very time consuming was lightening : try some settings, render it, try some other, render again, etc... With Player/Workspace, we can now do all this in real-time : change the lights colors, intensity, location in Modeler and see how it affects the final result in a Player/Workspace window !
Of course, Player/Workspace is not exactly a Lightworks rendering but it is very close to, and with some practice we can guess the rest. |

Nice work - love to see a closer view of the little guy in the boat. You description of how 7.5 helps your work flow makes good sense. |

i've always found the same thing, you fly through the modeling part, get the texture done then spend eons tweeking the lighting. hoping to see what you mean about the player/ workspace thing when 7.5 ships |

Emmanuel,
I like your style. Your work always looks great. Is this for a Children's Book? |

Really nice I must say.
I'm a bit confused though, you say your still modelling in the Modeller?
I thought this had now been moved over or?...

Workspace/Player now offers a very generous set of tools. It allows to create, paint, animate and render a model from scratch :)
But I can't reproduce my Modeler's workflow in Workspace yet. You know how old modelers are : old habits ;)
To tell the truth, I even had to send my scene to trueSpace 6.6 to do the UV projection work : Modeler's UV projection is somehow broken since tS7.0 and was not fixed yet on the Beta version I used for this render.
The good news is that they will not release tS7.5 before this one get fixed though :)
In other words, tS6.6 aficionados like me will find in tS7.5 their efficient workflow, enhanced by the power of Workspace's real-time engine and set of tools, the truePlay format export, the collaboration feature, etc... ! |

Thanks Emmanuel
I'm a Ts 6 lover as well and hopes by this reliese to move over once and for all.
A different workflow or having to learn how to with new tools etc. that's ok.
That just sounds great, can't wait to print all the manuals ;)
Thanks

Just want to confirm that this bug is fixed at present :) |
