Sculptris: Head Design

In our last assignment we used a program called Sculptris to create a water creature which we will be importing into an underwater scene in Bryce later on.  Today we are going to continue exploring Sculptris by creating a 3D head.

Although we learned the basics of drawing a human head/face, we don't HAVE to make our creations human.  Be creative.

In these examples (right) I created an alien, a human, and an elf-like head.

Remember to:

• Save the Sculptris file to your folder.
• Save the image (PNG or JPG) file to your folder
• Click OPTIONS > SAVE IMAGE
• Upload your PNG/JPG file to your Blogger

Additional Examples Available

 

In the above example you can see a 3D view of the head from various angles.

  

A less human looking head -- again showing various angles.

  

The above image demonstrates a variety of different heads.

Below are examples of individual heads -- and notice the variety.

 Finally, I wanted to point out that Sculptris is a free program done by Tomas Pettersson (http://download.cnet.com/Sculptris/3000-6677_4-75211273.html?tag=mncol;1) but there is a professional program called zBrush (http://www.pixologic.com/zbrush/) which operates in a very similar fashion but has a LOT more functionality.  Unfortunately zBrush is $699... but check out some of the results:
