Hi all, i want to propose a new challenge... I've made this warrior (?) using only primitives spheres (without boolean operations). I'm very curious to see some new creation with this simple techinque. The eyes textures are form "lots of shaders" by litst. -TOXE

Very cool little warrior. Mike

While not nearly as detailed, this is what I came up with in a hurry. I call them the floating snerdians. -Kix

BTW, TOXE didn't say we couldn't use deformers! -Kix

ehehe, curious creature Kix! Why don't you add a pair of sunglasses:-)? About deformers, you're right:, then we can use it! To Mike, i'm glad that you like my warrior:-)) I'm curious to see your creature! -TOXE

How about them metaballs? Well, I can guess the answer. Maybe for a next challenge.

Woof, woof, woof (half an hour and all from spheres)

eheh, strange and nice dog! -TOXE

Added a few more spheres, redid some textures. -Kix

It looks much better Kix, have you use deformers on the body? -TOXE

Yes, It's two spheres. Each has the punch deformer applied to its maximum to essentially make a hemisphere. I then rolled the hemispheres to an angle to make opening. This is the exact same technique I used to make the eye sockets. The mottled/bumpy look of the skin is done through a procedural texture on the body only. I thought this dude really needed a tongue and some "paws" so I gave him some. Now I think it's TOO busy but what the heck. It was a fun challenge and now I have a cool wallpaper to creep out my co-workers. -Kix
