Here is another sculpt stored in p3d.in. I used Decimation Master in ZBrush to reduce the file size and UV Master to preserve my colors. Using p3d.in, the viewer can pitch, roll and zoom in on a 3d object. Click inside the dark rectangle above to see how it works.

I recently learned about a site that can help display 3d objects in a dynamic way. Using p3d.in, the viewer can pitch, roll and zoom in on a 3d object. Click inside the dark rectangle above to see how it works.

I have further refined my Bammes skeleton with reference to male and female proportions. I used ZBrush’s extraction tool to create the ribs of the thorax (rib cage).

After taking the excellent human anatomy courses by Scott Eaton (July-August 2015), I decided to investigate further one of his favorite artists: Gottfried Bammes (1920-2007). Bammes was a professor of art at the Dresden Academy of Fine Art and is most well know for his anatomy books in particular Die Gestalt des Menschen (The Form of Man). He shows how to construct the skeleton and muscles from basic shapes. I attempted to mimic Bammes method in the embedded video using my 3D software ZBrush and Silo.

Although I still like my newer basemesh, I found it too specific for sculpting different characters. I created a ZSphere basemesh which is more generic and allows me to quickly alter proportions. The other basemesh will still be good for developing a finished character after experimenting with proportions. On another note, although I have been creating with ZBrush every week, I only post the items I am happy with on my blog. Sculpting every week has been a good exercise of my skills.

Having just created a new base mesh, I decided to fit the skull I created in week 1 inside my new base mesh. The faces are exaggerated female and male archetypes. Broad chin for the male more pointy in the female. I think I’m beginning to understand anatomy a bit better with all these practice sessions.
