T-Pose Model A model of the Jesus figure is built up on the t-pose position. This position allows for symmetrical sculpting, speeding up the workflow. It is then easily manipulated into the final position. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58702ee844024315d26e2e1e/1534468029766-3KID3SB1RQ6EPXUQ547A/Progress.png Pieta - Blocking In The figures and rock are all positioned roughly and ready for detail. The Mary figure is a low poly version of the Jesus model altered to fit into place. While positioning Mary to match the original I realized just how large a figure she is, a solid two feet taller than Jesus. I had to research the proportions before continuing to ensure that I hadn't messed up the scale. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58702ee844024315d26e2e1e/1492463893223-4HIUOCZGC332J709Z1LH/Pieta_1.jpg Pieta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58702ee844024315d26e2e1e/1492463866020-8D9S7SU4JZCAHH8TRR3A/Pieta_2.jpg Pieta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58702ee844024315d26e2e1e/1492463865822-N13MQFQXZ71DZ6EZPNP7/Pieta_3.jpg Pieta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58702ee844024315d26e2e1e/1533318409655-RZ8L5DPVCHNI44BEXXNY/Michelangelo%27s_Pieta_5450_cropncleaned_edit.jpg Pieta Michelangelo's Pieta - image from wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piet%C3%A0 https://www.alexmykris.com/data-driven-modeling daily 0.75 2018-08-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58702ee844024315d26e2e1e/1534621381934-X9UHXX7Z6IAOM7JZMR50/Tarsals.jpg Data Driven Modeling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58702ee844024315d26e2e1e/1534621390277-C627Z1FI717BRYXAD9LT/Collage.jpg Data Driven Modeling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58702ee844024315d26e2e1e/1534621344834-D95PXEBS0IMN6APOKFQN/Picture2.jpg Data Driven Modeling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58702ee844024315d26e2e1e/1534621347905-7QPEZPBUY6M38A09J9GW/Picture3.jpg Data Driven Modeling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58702ee844024315d26e2e1e/1534627463326-896UHYZOLC5Y5TK58CPC/Process+0.JPG Data Driven Modeling - 3D Slicer Segmenting the data in 3D Slicer to create a model of a skull. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58702ee844024315d26e2e1e/1534625882044-W1VEAAHOIRCKCL9TG2CR/Process+1.jpg Data Driven Modeling - Raw Model Model straight from 3D Slicer, note the holes in the model and stair-stepping on the forehead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58702ee844024315d26e2e1e/1534625882620-TE5SC03ZJAEEEV3AVRMH/Process+2.jpg Data Driven Modeling - Raw Model Topology Topology of the raw model, the large triangles and odd patterns would make this model difficult to work with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58702ee844024315d26e2e1e/1534627469062-0CB9VZR0F3MT6D1MNCO7/Process+3.jpg Data Driven Modeling - Refined Model Model after refinement in ZBrush to rebuilt thin bones and restore details like cranial sutures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58702ee844024315d26e2e1e/1534627472130-JHFXSGQQPAZBSK40IBBV/Process+4.jpg Data Driven Modeling - Refined Model Topology Topology of the refined model, each polygon the same size to allow for smooth sculpting.
