This is a christmas present I made for my sister. It’s a case in the shape of a ball with the life sculpting that I made a while ago incorporated in the upper shell. As long as there’s something relatively heavy inside you can roll it around and it keeps its orientation.
The German Digital Art Forum put together an artbook consisting of almost 50 full color pages wrapped into a solid hardcover and featuring works of the community. There are photographs, digital as well as traditional paintings/drawings (even good old pixelart) and 3D images in it. As you might already have guessed my Digital World image sneaked in as well!
As far as I’m concerned the majority of the copies (if not all) are already sold so all I can give you for now are a couple of pages:
Thanks again to everybody who made this possible, onto the next one!
A few weeks ago I participated in a contest held by the 3D printing company Shapeways and as a result Gas Guy got printed and was exhibited on this year’s Siggraph in LA. Here’s a photograph of the ~20cm tall model which is now decorating my table:
As you can see the model itself also changed a bit in the meantime, here’s where I am right now:
It’s at 7934 tris (excluding the pedestal) with 2k maps for the body and 1k for the gun
My (unfortunately not yet completely finished) entry for the DomWarIII
The “Gas Guy” is a pretty random Dominance War exercise, meaning I just started sculpting without really having any clue of what will be the result. I had a lot of fun working on this one and along the way I also got my workflow for realtime models sorted out, even though I didn’t get it finished in time.
When the competition is over I’ll have some time to get it done but until then this is what I got (click the image to view the album):
Specs:
5666 tris for the body and about 2.1k for the weapon.
2k col, nor and spec map for the body (and most likely 1k maps for the weapon).
Software used:
Blender (modelling and baking)
ZBrush (sculpting and some painting)
Photoshop (textures)
The material I used for the highpoly shot can be downloaded here.
And thanks for the great sculping basemesh, Andrei Cirdu.

Finally I managed to put some of my stuff together and go online. Now then, a warm welcome and enjoy the ride!
From now on you can follow my work a litte since I’m going to constantly (hopefully) post updates of my projects here and keep you up to date about what’s going on. As a start you’ll get to see some older projects as well as some of my current building lots.
The first piece to go is a contribution for a small contest on the German Blender forums (www.blendpolis.de) which I fortunately won a while back. The 3D part was completely made with Blender to get to know about its sculpting abilities and just to comply with the rules, too. The topic was to create an image that deals with “digital worlds” and I decided to create something rather abstract that can be interpreted in many different ways. I’m pretty happy with the conceptional to semi realistic result and I hope so are you:

My most current WiP doesn’t need a whole lot of explanations, it’s a personal project with a little story attached:
“It’s the night before the deadline.
Your head is empty,
too empty.
But back in your head there’s something
something distracting…
Is it the deadline?”
(Yeah, I really somewhat made that experience when I came up with the idea for the project…)
That’s it for now and thanks for stopping by,
Fabian
