Great stuff!
Zbrush would also be my number 1 choice for this kind of work.

U'll survive Great work so far.
There are many ways to go about this model. Seems you've chosen to scatter separate rock models around a base models.
BTW, which software are you using? Use screen grab/save screenshot option instead

Oh yea i knww going bout it d hard way d thing is am terrible @ sculpting using blender i guess... Buh nw dah i look @ dis its gnna give me a hard time wen texturing and yea using blender.. !!#

Amazing guys...
you guys are amazing!
nice works jjk24 and eyeaye.
glad spy is back!

ladanski how far?

Our other able modellers I hope you're getting ready to post your own WIPs?



HAPPY MODELLING!!!

Tos87: Just thinkin...should have the same pose and background?

I think the challenge is to model according to the 'pose'.

Tho, A 'DaVinci Pose' should be okay IMO.




BUT....
Since rigging is not part of the workflow for The Challenge. There will be some difficulty in achieving the original 'Lava man' pose.

I need clarification from cgniyi and OKX ASAP...

Refining the hands...my butt is starting to hurt

eyeaye: Refining the hands...my butt is starting to hurt

Wow!
Stand up and move around a little.

What version of Z-brush do you use?

Yah i will thanks, it's zbrush 4r6. it's highly dependent on wacom or any other digital pen tablet since it's mainly for sculpting.

This is brilliant work you guys are doing, I'm in awe!
I haven't had much time to do anything as av been very busy with work, but I'm not giving up. I hope to start something this evening.

Sampling textures and materials, i'll put this on hold cus i have a quiz on monday -__-...I HATE MATH!

Wahhhttt dahhhhh f*********** damn

wip

ok.

2 more weeks to go.
I only just found time to start work on mine and i was thinking to myself, "who's the idiott that came up with this idea"

Just a reminder, I'm forgoing the prize money, but I'll still be posting my work.

I'm also going with Zbrush on this one.Only started this night.
So far, I've used a very common sculpting workflow. Similar to what eyeaye is doing
- Zpheres used to build basic form and pose
- Change zpheres to polygons
- Using Move brush to further adjust the form
Still looks messed up for now

Just want get the base form first, then I'll extract thr rock layer from this

Adjusted the proportions, tried to make the pose more dynamic

Probably shouldn't detail the base form so much since I'll be covering it with the rock layer.
12:13am, think I'll sleep now

great effort guys. say when is the deadline?

Over 3million polygons , So far my system hangs lyk 4 times already had to forcefully shut it down with d power button, I think I'll just do it anyhow and submit, coz if I should subdivided the model again, it'll slow my system and it'll be hanging every damn minute

wonderful job cgniyi.... I'll add your name to the list of contestants sir.


@spywareczar, easy with your system. It has its life to live ooo..

hahaha.aaa

Who is your 'mistress'.?


..
*modellers and their language*.

ok i noticed we are just a few days away from the end and dug deep to come up with something after work. there is no time to models traditionally in max so im starting in zbrush. i used to use z speres and s sketching a lot to make base models but this time i experimenting with dynamesh. (have been off 3d for a long time and quite rusty) i started from a sphere and worked my way to try and establish the form, volume and stance of the concept. the details at this stage were just to help me with the form as i still z remeshed everything to have a more workable topology. i plan to take it to max and work on some loops and edges before doing additional work and final detailing in zbrush. if i have time im going back to max to render. i dont think i will even bother model fingers ill just sculpt and texture the fist clenched and add loops where i need to.
