You did a wonderful job, methinks ^3^

No clue what so ever. Sculptris doesn't list it as far as i have noticed.

around there probably

How did you manage to do a whole body? Sculptris crashed for me if I even try half a body X:


So jealous. You did a marvelous job!

Every little bit I go and do a reduce to keep it as low poly as i can, granted it means a bit of cleanup at the end, but yeah. I had it crash a lot too, so I save every 5 minutes. It may help that my PC is reasonably powerful, though I am unsure how much it aids.

I'm running a pc with good graphics and 8gb ram so I'm pretty sure it isn't my computer. How do you go about keeping stuff low poly? X3 I'm unfamiliar with the term I guess. Haha, I just picked up the program 'cause I saw the awesome work you did...it's fun when it works X3

Turn on wireframe mode (button on the left) and it show you how dense (how many faces or facets) your creation (mesh) is. I'd use reduce selected if the wireframe is thick enough to obscure the base color of the mesh in at least 50% of the model if you are partially zoomed in. Otherwise, take the reduce brush and stroke it along on areas that are heavy with polygon faces or areas where more than 5 faces join to create a star shape. (as it makes weird points on the flow) I'd check it about every 10 minutes of modeling.

Then after the base mesh is finished, reduce it then go in with the smooth brush and clean up any edges that may have gotten a bit whacked from the continuous use of reduce poly tool. Make sure to save every 5 minutes or so, alternating on save one and 2 just in case.

Nice, thanks a lot! I am going to try that next time I make a model. ^^ I never really paid attention to the wireframe mode, but makes sense, my mesh was pretty dense in my first piece so explains some issues X3

i need to try this sculptris program

How do you get it to allow you to paint on the figure? My Sculptris keeps crashing whenever I try it and it's on a laptop that's no more than a month old.

It just works for me, leave it on default settings of 512 when I click paint. But the age of the laptop doesn't matter if it isn't powerful enough to run the program well. You may wish to make sure your polys are low before hand, as it might be too heavy to do all at once.

Ahhhhhh. What's considered high? Cuz I did a head sculpt that came out to like...500,000 polys. Also, I assume it's merely adding new spheres to build the body right?

500k is very very high. I honestly don't know where to check it... but I would reduce the mesh that when the character fits fully on your screen in wireframe mode it isn't so dense that you can't see the base color in at least half of it. All objects would total the poly count as the program still has to deal with all of them in the scene.

That makes a LOT of sense. Okay I know where I've been going wrong now. Thanks a bunch =D Any tips for hair? Or do you know? You could probly use the ghost setting to do your character's emotionally-based hair. =D

It applies the shaders to all objects in a scene. But hair, I have done little with it to offer help, sorry.

No problem. You've already helped a great deal! Thanks so much ^^
