[05:16] its basically somewhere in between that and a wireframe evolution of wire into life... [05:16] let me show you a video i shot... erik did something like it involving a tree... [05:18] bah i saved a blank page over it by accident, readding text now [05:19] troy_s: i probably haven't seen it [05:20] nothlit: I don't know if you have seen this one... hold on... [05:21] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0RniSNWdYM [05:21] i can't rmember where the wireframe comes into play [05:21] but watch it... [05:21] it is funny, because it is almost exactly the idea proposed a while back... [05:23] nothlit: I think it is after the bridge [05:23] 2/3rds [05:23] gods.. drawing with a mouse is like trying to delicately manipulate a VERY large boulder [05:23] I so need a tablet [05:25] mousers have done some amazing things too :) [05:25] looool [05:27] nothlit, just the method doesnt suit me... to many years with clay and paint and charcoal, if ya hear what I'm saying [05:28] darkmatter: amen [05:28] mice suck [05:28] lets face it [05:28] dont get me wrong... mouse does work... just takes sooo long [05:29] if they didn't, the mouse would have preceded the pencil [05:29] darkmatter: lol...messy materials there :) [05:29] so hard to get anything right with the mouse [05:30] nothlit, aye. especially the clays [05:30] though I've switched to polymer clay of late.. doesnt feel as natural and not nearly as fun to work with... but easy cleanup [05:32] and i'm guessing easier to make molds of [05:33] darkmatter: And it gets stuck in those monitor buttons and all over the screen when you are sculpting on it. [05:33] lol [05:33] that too [05:34] nothlit, yup.. doesnt tranfer well to digital applications though [05:35] darkmatter: zbrush+tablet for that [05:35] especially a cintiq :D *grins* [05:35] yup...if I had a tablet [05:36] you have a cintiq???? [05:36] damn. [05:36] nah [05:36] tabletpc [05:36] hell... i spent 900 bucks on an intuitos 2 tab [05:36] and now it is junk [05:36] sad [05:36] ouch [05:36] but all the coolest demos of zbrush are on cintiqs [05:37] to be honest, you almost get your best bang for buck out of the bloody graphire / bamboo models [05:37] wtf is zbrush? [05:37] (prepares for lol) [05:39] its like 'painter' for 3d [05:40] troy_s: http://www.highend3d.com/articles/reviews/16.html [05:40] I need to brush up on my blender skillz (or lack thereof) [05:41] its pretty sophisticated, you can do quite a lot, the modeling is more intuitive, the approach to animation makes sense too--but i don't do 3d lol [05:42] theres quite a few narrated videos you can watch [05:43] I was spoiled by maya.... but no free version for nix and no way I'm going tospend 6 grand on open motif :P [05:47] oh yars, painting on the model too [05:49] ahhh ... i do recall that now.. [05:49] feck me that is a killer tab === sysdef [i=sysdef@debiancenter/staff/cacert.assurer.sysdef] has left #ubuntu-artwork [] [06:05] troy_s: so you meant a structure reveal for organic materials? [06:19] nothlit: Maybe... migth be cool [06:20] nothlit: Some high tech glowey wireframe coolness into an organic structure like roots or... [06:20] nothlit: Root to electricity [06:35] troy_s: hows that represent progress? [06:38] nothlit: I think if you create the rooty's as sort of evolving into electricity possibly it could work [06:38] nothlit: or coming together and moving forwards === wedderburn [n=andrew@ppp194-10.static.internode.on.net] has left #ubuntu-artwork [] === wedderburn [n=andrew@ppp194-10.static.internode.on.net] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === coz_ [n=coz_@pool-151-201-57-104.pitt.east.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-artwork [06:54] troy_s: and the collaboration? === coz_ [n=coz_@pool-151-201-57-104.pitt.east.verizon.net] has left #ubuntu-artwork ["Leaving"] [07:06] nothlit: I was thinking of a merging / progression [07:07] nothlit: half being the coming together of the roots / vines / wahteer [07:07] nothlit: and half being the flashy glowey techy 'wow' portion [08:38] AHHA! thats what I'll do with the steppers! === darkmatter rapidly cracks open the gimp === ubuntulog [i=ubuntulo@trider-g7.fabbione.net] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === Topic for #ubuntu-artwork: Welcome to #ubuntu-artwork! http://www.design-emotion.com/2006/04/30/getting-emotional-with-paul-bennett/ === Topic (#ubuntu-artwork): set by troy_s at Mon Apr 30 22:14:18 2007 === andreasn [n=andreas@h125n2fls306o1003.telia.com] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === andreasn [n=andreas@h125n2fls306o1003.telia.com] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === bersace [n=bersace@251.171.62.62.internet9t.9massy1-1-ro-bas-2.9tel.net] has joined #ubuntu-artwork
