8 Feb : feast of St. Cuthman of Steyning, West #Sussex, c.7thC Hermit, #devil fighter, who carried his mother about in a wheelbarrow #otd (neddyseagoon)
Started a new modeling experiment… I want to try and create a semi-realistic character in my favorite 3D editor: #MagicaCSG , by @ephtracy .
It's going to be a bit of a challenge, because every detail needs to be added, subtracted or intersected using primitive shapes, as opposed to 3D sculpting, where you can freely brush details in a clay-like manner.
So if this doesn't get follow-up posts, I will have failed miserably. 😅
To give you an impression of the primitive SDF 3D shapes that make up my demon head in MagicaCSG, I've set them a bit apart from each other.
A number of the elements that are visible here are used to subtract parts, and are invisible in the actual sculpture. Also, some shapes are obstructing other shapes here.
I wanted to challenge myself and modeled a semi-realistic demon head using purely SDF primitives in the MagicaCSG 3D editor.
The final head exists of 129 added, subtracted and blended shapes, and is rendered inside MagicaCSG as well. As a final touch, some texture was post-processed into the rendering.
