This was from a character I did in TS, Silo and XSI. The original character was much smaller than this little guy, but the topology was made to be expanded using the Soft Selection, and Soft PAint brushes. This model was done in about 40 minutes of reworking the mesh with the above tools... A nice cartoony look and feel to the character. Thanks for looking.

Looking forward to seeing this guy finished. :D Post by remnar // Jul 29, 2008, 3:09pm remnar Total Posts: 105 Nice details on the muscles. Do you use any references or just go by memory? Post by RichLevy // Jul 29, 2008, 3:52pm RichLevy Total Posts: 1140 @remnar I am not much of a true modeling person, my models are reasonably correct but not perfect. The topology was reasonably accurate and I did it from memory, reference, and video tutorials showing how to model the human form... Nothing fancy though. @Jack I can not remember the last time I completed a model with textures, UV's and than animated. Mostly I would not consider myself much of a texture artist. I enjoy the modeling, rigging and the animating the other stuff is done just to give the model some color... So if I do something, don't plan on being too impressed :D I was just happy about the way the TS WS Modeling tools have matured since the last time I played with them...

Post by RichLevy // Jul 30, 2008, 11:50am RichLevy Total Posts: 1140 When TS gets real support for graphic tablets the 2 tools will really compare very well with other programs with similiar tools (XSI, C4d and Modo to name a few). I need to set up keyboard shortcuts for a couple of these tools to make it easier to use though. Rich
