Sculptris

I've been harping on about Scupltris to anyone who will listen for the last few weeks. Its a free 3d sculpting program available here. If you are not familiar with 3d/digital modelling then think of this program as a sort of virtual clay. There are a small number of commercially available programs that fall into this category, Z-brush being the most notable and feature-laden example. However if you cannot afford Z-brush then this is a very nifty and for the most part intuitive piece of software. The Alien head was the first sculpt i attempted and what you see only took about 20 minutes, the frog and the skull both took a bit longer partly because I was having more fun with the tools but also because at first I didn't bother with using reference imagery. After a while it became clear that there were details missing but I knew not what they were...off to do an image search. I'm nto sure what it says about me that I can create an Alien head easier than I can my own skull. I haven'd made any sculpts very recently but more are on the way...some ideas are brewing.
