The model I'm working on (somewhat big pics)

That's hilarious but impressive! Is it as difficult as it looks and what program are you using? Is this the blender one you're always talking about?

Yes, I did this in Blender. It's free!

And in this case, yeah, it's very difficult. I've spent at least 30 hours on this model so far, shaping him one vertex at a time.

Respect for just figuring out how to work Blender. That thing cornuses me. This is lookin good though.

cornuses...omg, that sounds so dirty. EXPLAIN!

I meant cornfuses >_<

its very timeconsuming at least
i ended up modelling my heads, then using premade bodies and just altering the anatomy to get what i wanted.

its alot of work but its addicting

He's looking awesome! That you made him out of a grey cube is pretty fantastic. All the dots scare me O_O

Can blender be used to make objects for poser? I had thought at some point to make a naginata for Mai in bryce, I'm just not sure how easy that will be, its been a while since I've tried to make a weapon using it.

dunno about blender, but in 3ds it wouldnt be hard to create a simple object like a weapon. creating a character for poser would be kinda difficult i guess. having to set up a bone structure and everything for the mesh

It can be done, yes. I've made weapons in Blender before...I made the wiz epic and shadowknight 1.5 epic as well...a couple others, I think.

You must have some hella patience! That looks like it would be really hard to do! I can't wait to see what you do with it when you're done

Thanks for the info, Las

I'm not sure I have the patience for even the weapon, there is probably no possible way I'd make a character for poser. I don't know how you guys do that without going nuts....but then maybe you don't...

*tries to bite his own ear*

Is that like trying to lick your elbow?


I can't even imagine the sort of patience one must have to do something like this *is in awe*

...

No, Cali! You do not want to try this! I said NO!! *sits on hands* >.<

I'll teeeeeeeach youuuuuuuuu........

Hehehe. It's addicting once you learn how.

Ooh, making an offer I can't refuse. That's evil. Just what I need, something else to drive me nuts... er, nutser. XD

All right. Why not. Love learning new things

*goes off to locate ze thing Blender thing*

Download it and play with it, run some tutorials...remember that space brings up your toolbar, where you can add shapes. Right click selects vertices. Tab goes in and out of edit mode. shift + right click selects multiple vertices.

When you have something selected, r rotates, s scales, g moves. After pressing r, s, or g, you can press x, y, or z to make it do those things ONLY on that axis.

Don't forget about u, to undo things! That happens in edit mode. Also, pressing z shows your wireframes as solid. Press z again to go back to wireframe mode.

Whew, that's a bunch of stuff! Try to get the hang of it a bit...and I can show you some much coller stuff.

Oh, one more thing...in edit mode, b allows you to select multiple vertices with a square, b twice lets you select with a circle. a selects all vertices, a again unselects all vertices.

i stick to 3d studio max for now.
btw. are you going to texture, rig and animate it?
