been enjoying this sketchbook for a while now
just wanted to say -



enter the deltoid at the plane-shift...

@shotgun - Hey man.. That area always gives me trouble. I even have awesome reference and I still ignore it.

Xbox kinect 3d scanning... might be good for some quick "guide" meshes.





Image based (21 images) 3d "scan". Pretty impressive, I even tried to give it crappy photos





Couple more Kinect to MAYA things. Just figuring some stuff out this weekend fun fun! Thanks for looking.

I dump, I dump, IdumpIdumpIdump. Lovely lady dumps.

Nice man. Love these last couple color pieces.

oooh I love that cyberpunk-ish stuff going on there. Do more of that!

Slum - Thanks man! Those are a lot of fun to do... I have a long Bart commute so I bust out my Mac Laptop and wireless wacom. Works pretty well.

Speaking of Wacom Tablets:


Ghetto Cintiq - Cost me 0$ since it was a gifted laptop and old intuos 3 from work.

nice ghetto cintiq! since I saw this I have done nothing but lurk at the bongofish forums! do you have a work log for it? I am currently modding a detal fight stick into a ps3 wireless fight stick and using that pcb to make a multiconsole fight stick... how difficult did you find that build?

Hey man, I don't have a worklog :| I can take more photos but this was my first try at it and it was remarkably easy. I took my older Thinkpad laptop (which is underneath the board) and pulled the monitor out carefully. Then I just stacked (using mounting squares) on top of the wacom tablet components (9x12 intuos 3). I had to extend one of the wires with more wire and calibrate it for a bit. That's it really.

I want to do another one with planned components and a glass top.

cool stuff! I would be really interested to see your next build if/when you get round to it, I seem to have read alot of scare stories regarding breaking the screens and breaking cables and what not... also reading alot of people struggling with jitter. I am really interested in moding myself one as i feel i can follow build logs and i know some basics when it comes to electronics... but it is a costly thing to get wrong lol!

anyway! back on topic! I am really digging the variety you have going here!

@Reale - Yeah honestly I had the laptop and the wacom just sitting there so it seemed a good time to try it. I would say the most risky part is breaking or burning out the inverter for the monitor. But that is pretty cheap to replace. I'm looking for a good (by good I mean good quality, price, and easy to take apart) monitor to strip, and thinking of using a genius tablet instead of wacom to cut costs on the next one.

Also making a case plan to CNC/ glue together but I cant until I know the components... but it's fun, if I get it going ill be making them for friends etc then thinking beyond that.

Those cyber busts are too cool. They'd be right at home on some progressive rock cd covers.

@Nubbas - Progressive rock?! Noooooooooo!

All Pigs Must Die - God Is War - YouTube

haha. Thanks though glad you like them. I need to keep going and mature the idea somehow.

Trying for a more toony style.

redwall... messin around trying to do cg faster.

testing if I can link images from Skitch. -edit NOPE!

really enjoyable stuff on here teriyaki-- esp. the psychadelic bots. There's a real character and identity to most of the pieces that's super appealing.

Also, Cluny the Scourge... Haven't thought about that horrible awesome villain in years.
