    That's a fantastic video, Wendy. 

    Great work, Headwax. I play around with Sculpting softaware (3d Coat on the PC, Nomad Sculpt and Sculpt+ on an Android tablet.)

    However I bought a VR headset late last year and am absolutely loving sculpting with Shapelab Lite in VR.  I sit on my sofa with the sculpt before me as light as a balloon and as large or small as I wish.  It has to be seen to be believed.

    The painting programs for the headset are equally amazing.  Every kind of brushstroke hangs in mid-air. 

    There are other programs for modelling/painting/sculpting - the lines between these applications get somewhat blurred in VR...

    So far I haven't touched AI in any way.  But 3d AI animated people in fantasy settings are mind-blowing in virtual reality.

    Tha is, well that sounds so futuristic! Soon we will not need bodies, or teeth. All the dentists will go broke;)  ut seriously sounds like a story from omni magazine in the late 70s. Who are we to dream of electric sheep ?

    stormtroopers get such bad press,

    was working up a 3d print model today after seeing a guy who works out the colours of his sculpts in virtual world before painting them in so called real world , then I realied that it needed a ball to represent the ai that thieves everyone's work, I guess i will have to suspend the ball magic-etically

    thanks, been painting my 3d models in colour but not happy with results entirely so going back to first principles , it's good learning stuff but frustrating , looking at Spanish 15th century poly chromed religious sculptures doesn't help at all ... not my style, nothing is see I want to emulate :(

    Apparently taste like none's habits. Musty with a hint of garlic. 

    Had a go at converting phimemos meshes achieved from his hair converter, so I could see whether they would 3d print. ... will stick to sculpting hair for the purpose in future. Sadly underused plugin though by me.

    The K4 pawn chess piece is tremendous!  Pig rider would make a wonderful knight.

    This one is for Wendy.  A friend of mine went and said it was spectacular.

    Interesting figures Headwax. Can anyone give me a good reason to buy full LAMH? It seems to have stability issues with DS. Allesandro said he was going to create a stand alone Version 2 at some point? Would be mostly using it to import into Blender. It has some interesting features, just not sure how well they will work.

    the main thing I like about LAMH is it keeps the pelt UV mapping converted to a mesh

    Strandbased hair and Carrara hair with Philemo's plugin do not, they become UV mapped to the length of the hair

    Zbrush only can do hair length UV mapping too, not pelts

    albeit the pelts are mixed packed tiles not actually matching the original donor mesh

     

    I do have a trick up my skeeve for the Carrara hair though

    because it maintains Vertex order regardless of length, I export a zero length one as well and use Ultimate Unwrap3D to convert the UV mapping to packed tiles then the repaint to project the texture from the original growth object to it

    then in DAZ studio load it in surfaces as an alternative UV

    My fancy desktop computer up and died on me.  Seems like it is new but it is more than 6 years old so while not a great lifespan, not a rip off either.  Fortunately, I have been good about backing up my own stuff to an external drive.  Even so, I will need to be reinstalling a lot of programs, including Carrara.

    LOLno blush pretty sure someone else told me yonks ago how to embed videos
