the storm missed us in auckland

So this weekend is a reprieve 🙂 I also feel really good after a terrible bad health day. Sleep and I have had a battle since I was little. Sleep is not restful as it is full of what feel like hallucinations, even positive dreams are draining, and most just turn weird. I am getting better at not remembering them too well which is definitely a blessing.

So this means being able to go to my studio, air it out and spend a relaxing day of doing things 🙂

I am also trying out iron melts. I did not know they actually are pleasant to take! Like miniature fizzy multivitamin tablets.

welp I was wrong!

So after finding the short cuts to delete selections and delete inverted selection I did isolate my horns in ReMake and I did then manage to get them into Sculptris and have been smoothing and pinching and generally finding it really pleasant. Intuitive I think.

Just have to remember that there is a limited number of times you can undo!

 

 

The brush is also cool, I need to see if I can change the shape not just size but the pinching, crease, and smoothing tool have done so much already!

And yes, I am building this as a symmetric piece so it may need care when I print- but I am inflating the base so that should give enough room to put in a foam layer for comfort.

today i try to relearn blender

I will still work in sketchup to make my Ahsoka hilts but I need something a bit more powerful than Sculptris or Remake to do what I need to do for all the horns.. I can’t easily find an ability to copy and take out selections in either so what the heck.

Oh sculptris looks brilliant for putting textures on, but my Remakes models are the full scene when all I want is the head. ANd so I can probably use sculptis to make my own fantasy horns, my head cast and put them into blender and assemble in digital space.

I have tried to make my horns in Sketch up. it’s.. well the curve is a bit too complicated otherwise is is pretty easy to make a twisted cone. It’s the very particular curves of this sculpt!

Basically we are having our third severe weather event in just over a month so working on plastic and latex or anything that will be affected by condensation is not a goer today.

I will also work on my Worth beading pattern 🙂 So excited 🙂 All new post about that one too 🙂

surprise?

It shouldn’t be but here.

A goddess with shiny horns. Yeah. That is left of field. But a textures bodysuit with 3D details and a big accessory is so not in my wheelhouse at all????

 

But seriously, I did fall in love with the costume details in the images that were released 🙂 Oh yay, looking at the hi res image the texture detail is nice and flat. Often these costumes have a fairly dimensional print but this could be outsourced. Hang on. Silver. Still needs to be screen printed. Hmm…
