I've been so busy with work and client models this week and last I've not had time to do much 'for me' so I thought I have a quick warm down tonight after 12 hours straight on a design I wanted to test out and warm up on. Doodles and sketches may be a bit thin on the ground for a while as theres a lot going on at the moment.

Oh I love the pose :D And of course the wrinkles and the facial structure is GORGEOUS :D! It looks like he's napping peacefully, or very angry :D Awesome!

Is reducto a new package you're trying out? If ya don't mind me asking, what was the poly count before and after?

Thanks for sharing! Very inspirational!

[Shawry]

nah Digital Ninja, Reducto is one of waynes special secret hush hush type plug-ins lol.., its a plug-in that reduces the polygon count without losing detail, ( if im not mistaken ) and from the looks of it, its works great :)

nice model dude.. i too am also interested n the original poly count to the new count.. unless ur wanting to keep that kinda detail untill u release it..

as always, great work dude.
Nice lighting too.. btw

[Digital_Ninja]

Ohhhhh shows how much I know XD Gah! Thanks Shawry :)

I don't mean to pry Wayne. I understand if Mum is the word :)

[Hulahuga]

The bird is the word, didn't you know that? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WNrx2jq184

Plus I don't think it is supposed to be hushhush when he puts a large frigging logo on his image.... More of a hype raiser ;)

[Shawry]

the hush hush thing was ment to be a joke.. and yes i did see the big arse logo on it.

Ah thats confidential...although as a hint an early beta from a year back reduced an 8 million mesh to 1/2 million and loooked 100% the same. It also does LOT more than just reduction and its techncially a standalone app...not one line of the code is from the mudbox sdk. ;) Although it will have a mudbox plugin...yeah ironic eh? A mudbox plugin for my app lol.

One thing I will let out that it can do is bake a amb occ map to vertex color for a 2million poly mesh in about 3-5 seconds.(..and no its not ptex or anything even remotely similar...this 100% wayne code...just wanted to clear that up). There is a lot of things now in the latest build from last night of ReDucto.... I may show a few things from it and its a small selection of it capabilies next week at some point.

[Shawry]

ah sweet.. well i was kinda half right lol... Your a killer for suspense.. =) 8 mil to 500k is awesome! wonder what it can do now..? well look forward to the vid !
So... is reducto going to be a "Pay to Use" project considering its an entirely different and stand alone App to mudbox?

Thsts undecided at the moment although its been used in production for a while now where I'm working. (..I'm the ony person I will allow to use it at the moment.) It may be free, it may not it depends on a lot to be frank.


Wayne...

[chemicalpete]

Free... $100... For a tool with claims like that, I would go all in for whatever it winds up being. Very excited to see this a topic of discussion again Wayne!

Just testing out rigging and skinning using CAT now in max 2011 (bit of a shame I forgot to test it duringhte beta really lol) Along with Bones Pro. The idea was to see what a default 'worst case senario' rig would produce in about 15 mins with no weight correction. It'd take about another 20 or so to do the weights cleanup.
