MikeYep! That is why I rest my case.........
Voss, 1/9 scale? 1/12th scale? 1/16th? Maybe???

I would love to get involved in digital sculpting though, but the programs have a pretty steep learning curve. I mean, you could pretty much sculpt something in real clay with a toothpick and your fingers, but with virtual sculpting, if you don't have the correct understanding of the tools/menus/settings, you aren't getting anywhere

Wrong. Try Sculptris
http://pixologic.com/sculptris/
"Learning curve" takes about half an hour of reading the 5 page manual
No need to know complex term like "topology", "vertex", "edge", "polycount", just You and few "virtual sculpting brushes".
Honestly, half an hour is enough to start sculpting - that is if You know how to sculpt in clay...
Try it and tell me I was lying

Polkrad is correct. Sculptris is so much like working with clay, I actually felt like my hands were sore the first few times I tried it, like I have been molding clay all day.
Well, installed it and had a go... but I really need to understand the work flow before I get anywhere. I am used to shaping pieces of clay, adding them to my sculpture and smoothing them in, but with digital sculpting you seem to have to 'grow' everything out of the clay so everything I'm doing is rounded.... but it's a start at least... I'll read some tutorials, watch some videos and see how it goes.

Not so, There is an icon of a sphere in the tool bar. That will add additional scale spheres as you need them. There is also a plane icon to add sheets that you can later extrude in Meshmixer. All the spheres can be joined also in meshmixer once you are ready, I will walk you through it.
Thanks, dude. I really appreciate that. Maybe we can take this somewhere else though, as I think we've derailed this thread too much as is. Sorry Bonehead.

Well given the original premise of the thread it was in line for a derailment from the get go
And it's not like related/tangential stuff would not naturally get brought up in any thread on trad v digital sculpting, even if it wasn't intended for discussion initially.Einion

Yeah, I realise that, but if RKapuaala is willing to give me some coaching on digital sculpting, maybe we should get a room

I'll supply the room but if things are going to get digital it's gunna cost you more.

Here read this thread first. It might help you get started. http://www.planetfigure.com/threads/further-studies-in-sculptris.46225/
Sorry about the derailment, but being a scale modeler of trains, all I can say is use a rerailer and get the thing back on the tracks

Unfortunately when I think of Connery, this image has been burned into my mind. ZARDOZ!
Sorry to lead this discussion astray yet again, I thought this could not get any worse than the scarring image above.
Today I found that it can

Try that with your 3D printer without getting a serious error message.

Thanks, Gaudin. That's the best laugh I've had all day.

I don't know what's worse; the fact that Sean is wearing a wedding dress, or that he didn't even bother to shave his arms.
