Magical Staff – Making of (EN)
December 6th, 2008 MaxkoHey,
Before I decided to join to the sculpting challenge with theme Magical Staff, I was thinking about how to express Magical Staff in different way. And I was playing with idea – Organic Staff. My idea was Mr. Giger and his Alien art.
To most important rule of the challenge was to create a sculpt (no texture and postpro in photoshop) in 5 hours from assigned base meshes. The base meshes were 3 simple boxes and one cuboid – which shall create base for the staff. From the start I knew to create Facehugger (8 long legs and one long joined tail) just from simple box mesh will be difficlut. Any retopolgy or adding edgeloops were not allowed.
- It took me 4:40
- The video is 2,5x faster as I am
Magical Staff – Making of (SK)
November 3rd, 2008 MaxkoNazdarek,
Pred tym ako som sa rozhodol zapojit sa do sculpting sutaze s nazvom Magical Staff, som dlho rozmyslal, ako znazornit Magicku Palicu. Nechcel som urobit klasicku “Magicku Palicu”, preto som sa pohraval s myslienkou urobit organicku palicu. A tak ma napadlo, ze by som sa mohol isnpirovat panom Gigerom a jeho Alien umenim.
Najdolezitejsie pravidla sutaze boli vytvorit iba sculpt (bez textur a bez postpro v photoshope) za 5 hodin s vopred danych zakladnych modelov. Zakladne modely tvorili tri obycajne kocky a jeden kvader ktory mal tvorit zaklad palice. Uz hned na zaciatku mi bolo jasne, ze z obycajnej kocky vytvorit Facehuggera – ktory ma spolu 8 dlhych noh a jeden clankovity dlhy chvost, bude trosku oriesok a to hlavne kvoli tomu, ze ziadna retopologizacia modelu nebola podla pravidiel dovolena.
- celkovy cas vyroby 4:40
- video je zrychlene 2,5x

3DT Challenge – Magical Staff
October 13th, 2008 MaxkoHey,
I joined to the THE Sculpting Challenge – 009 – Magical Staff. Here is what I did. I made Magical Gigers Alien Staff 
. It took me 4:40. Ok, now some base rules for the staff:
- The staff is organic
- The eggpod kicking up the face huggers – its like a thrower (if someone turn against you the staff, you guys, have a big problem)
- The Alien tail – the other end of the stalf – serves as a melee weapon
So, here are some screenshots.
Enjoy
Martin
