Sculptris: Introduction to Organic 3D Sculpting

Sculptris is an interesting approach to 3D model creation -- sculpting.  Sculptris is a free program (download here) which helps you create models that you can import into other programs (like Bryce, for example).

Today we will be creating an organic shape with Sculptris.  Mostly we will be exploring the different tools, settings, and options -- but you will be turning your project in.

Begin by opening the Sculptris application from your desktop.

When finished, you can save an image by clicking Options (I don't know why) and the Save Image.

Here's a video tutorial (not by me) for beginning Sculptris -- although I will demonstrate at least this much during class.  I am providing it so students who are absent or need a refresher can watch again.


Tomorrow we will be attempting a head (monster, human, or otherwise).
