Sculpt with a mouse? Why, yes you can :)

Artwork Works in Progress
1

Got kinda bored last week but was about 4 hours away from my computer. Sooo I stopped into the local Microsoft store and occupied their biggest baddest machine for about 6 hours between two days. Here was the result.

No concept art, all out of my head. Largely inspired by a turtle, but also other reptilian influences as well. Just for fun :slight_smile:

Looks pretty nice, you can definitely see some “turtle” feats there!

Will this have a body?

i sculpt with a mouse all the time.
there should be a community for just mouse sculptors. :wink:

Yea, I know its possible… but after using a tablet to sculpt since… forever … (I’ve been using a tablet since before I started sculpting)… its REALLY hard to sculpt with a mouse if you’re used to a tablet.

funny looking guy, would be cool if you did the rest of him.

I like your method for using high-end computers - was it Blender on a memory stick or ubuntu on a memory stick? The latter would be even better in a microsoft store.

Nice turtle-like creature

Not having a tablet yet (planned on my budget for sometime next year), i have great fun with my mouse sculpting sessions in Sculptris.
I wish there was a “microsoft store with their biggest baddest machine” somewhere nearby for sculpting with Blender, as unlike Sculptris it’s not very efficient on my system for the needed level of details :wink:

Blender sculpt is never really that efficient compared to programs that are designed JUST for sculpting. Even on these machines here, I have lag with only 2.25 million polys (current project, not that head).

yogyog: I bring it in on my external HDD along with all my files :slight_smile:

tyrant monkey: I doubt I will, but if I do I’ll have to finish him out in some sort of space suit or something because once you go multires, you can’t exactly change your base model much (that I know of anyway)

with blender sculpt mode no you can’t easily do it, you can edit your basemesh even with multires on in 2.5xx but I have found it usually goes ape shit. But if you can avoid topology changes around the areas you have already worked on it sort of works.
