:::: actually, i thought it was interesting to show a head that was texture mapped, and not just sculpt mapped. also, the particular head model I used to bake the sculpt map was the avatar freely provided on secondlife.com, rather than someone's 3rd party model. i think, though, because i did not spend time fixing the UV's near the mouth, it is just plain ugly and shouldn't be posted ;).

::::: aha!  yes exactly - but Chip's head IS texture mapped - that's why it appears to have so much detail.  he took a high-res head model, sculpted it to low-rez, but applied a baked lighting texture as it's surface color.  i'm a big fan of this technique - that's very much why i posted it.  --[[User:Qarl Linden|Qarl Linden]] 16:10, 13 June 2007 (PDT)

Hey Qarl, can you walk through your Maya script and detail what it's doing. A more detailed technical description will facilitate writing exporters for other products.

Thx Qarl,

Self promoting or just ugly?

Current revision (06:15, 10 June 2007) (edit) (undo) Qarl Linden (Talk | contribs) (removing self promoting artwork) for Sculpted_Prims entry

I'm not sure why the picture of the 1-prim sculpted head I posted is considered self promoting, but I do admit that it was a very rough UV-ing and rather ugly. So, I would like to know whether it was removed for just being an ugly pic or if it's really self-promoting, and if so... why? (Ina Centaur 19:23, 10 June 2007 (PDT))

the "self promotion" business was more a reference to the other guy who added his picture. so far, i've been keeping the images on the front page to myself (i know, i know, wiki pages aren't a dictatorship, perhaps i shouldn't try) they've been images i particularly like. the head (was it your head?) was technically interesting, i ALMOST posted it - but we already had a head... :) --Qarl Linden 13:54, 12 June 2007 (PDT)
