Turn Table gallery update at Pixologic

guti — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 19:32:43 +0000

I am moving house soon, but before changing some (last minute) big renovations should be made in the new house and so I have to wait a few weeks before i could devote myself again to my “digital” and “real” models.
This is the main reason why I have not updated the blog … : (
But now I finally have the opportunity to post some great news: Pixologic has updated its turntable gallery by adding some of my past works!!!

Thank you very much Pixologic :)

I hope to have soon the opportunity to be able to show something new :)

My first 3D Print

guti — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 20:41:20 +0000

The pack arrived today!

By the way, when I won the contest with the Spawn model I was really tempted to try to make it real with a 3D Print.
I have checked on zBrushCentral and googled a little in order to check the best 3D print services for zBrush creations and I requested some quote to Ownage (seeing their work I can tell that they are really the best!), to moddler and to Offload Studios.
The quote arrived, but, in order to have a 3D print of aprox 5″ of this bust the minimum request was around 600$… I was really tempted, but my wife took off my smile threatening instantaneous castration.

Fortunately my friend (you know Doctor Danko right?) advised me to ask his friend Paolo Camelio who owns a 3D printer and the dream came true without the risk of a eviration!!!

I sliced the zBrush model in some pieces and exported them in STL in order to have a 130mm statue.
Today I received the print and I will start soon with the preparation of the bust!

Here some photo

If you want to contact the friend in order to ask some hint for a 3D Print…

you can try to contact this friend of mine that own the 3D Printer… his name is Paolo Camelio, and you can contact with this e-mail adress:
Paolo underscore Camelio at fastwebnet dot net
(In order to avoid some spam to my friend just translate the underscore in _, the at in @ and the dot in .)
compared to other 3D Print services this is really cheaper and you can make real your zBrush sculpts.
Here some other photo in order to check the details of the printer:

Note that on smaller pieces there is a light veil of gray to bring out the details because with
the yellow of the resin the details are not visibles.

Turntables Turntables Turntables

In these days my PC was working hard on night…
I have made a little zBrush Plugin in order to do these stereo turntable: for now it is a bit rough, but I will try to make it a little better in the future.
For now you can download it from this post on zBrushCentral.

Watch this video on YouTube.

All these are made in order to improve a little my portfolio.
If you have some red-cyan google or some other 3D trick you can check the 3D version on youtube.

Hope you like these

please check in the video option and set an higher resolution (I’m sorry but my WP youtube plugin seem not working properly…)

Here an experiment for those who use the red-cyan google

Some other Stereo Turntables

guti — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 23:04:14 +0000

No much time to start some new model… but I renewed a little my portfolio with some new zBrush renders.
Here a sample:

Please check my portfolio page in order to see other new renders :)

The last night I launched on the same model my zBrush macro in order to make a “stereo” turntable.
Here the result:

Watch this video on YouTube.

If you cross your eyes you could see it in 3D… otherwise you could check THIS VIDEO on youtube in order to see this in 3D without crossing your eyes.
In these next days I think that I will run the macro on other model, so in the near future I will post more of these “stereo” turntables.

Colab with Christophe Desse

guti — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 21:12:22 +0000

It happened alredy one time with my model of Kaneda… and now I’m very happy to see the result of another colab with Christophe!
It’s awesome to see what happens when one my model goes in the rights hands!
Chris has done a really great job with these renders: I think that the feel and atmosphere of these images is unique and fit perfectly with the Spawn model.

and here some other images:

Too bad… Google Friends Connect dead :(

guti — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 19:35:50 +0000

The news about the dead of Google Friends Connect was around but I have noticed only after it was put down…
Unfortunately now, the Google Friends is supported only for blogger’s blog but not here.
I replaced the widget with a “Google Friends like widget” but I have some doubt about it…
I have also added the Facebook “Like” button… but for now this blog like only to me, to my brother and to my wife (or I have to say that like to me with the account of my wife)…

So please… push the like button and I will be a little bit more happy :)

Some update…

guti — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 11:44:18 +0000

Ok… new language, new face and some new contents!
Hope you find the new look of the blog a bit more agreable.

I added some sections like Portfolio, Making Of, Other…
All is still in progress but I started to put in some contents:

Just added the Making Of Skore Jhon

And the review of the Hanvon – Art Master III tablet

Hope you find it interesting :)

Sometimes they came back!

After the test I did some month ago with the model of tigerman about stereoscopy…

But if you have these strange red/blue googles or some 3D stereo trick you can check THIS 3D 1080 HD VIDEO

And here some 3D Cross eye images extracted from the video:
