Sculpting time lapse of the dragon head from Sintel with blender 2.5.

by the end, it was 2.8 million polys at multires level 5
the original sculpting time was about 3 hours

eee i hope it was only for normal map and practice.

Btw i really liked it.

There is just a little bit too many polygons if you ask me (can u imagine how many it would me in editable mesh [if u dont wanna count just export it to 3ds format :D])

Respect for patience with scales.

@sawiio there were around 5million polys in the full body version used in the film iirc. We never applied the modifier, so edit mode was never a problem. I thought they were going to bake this to a normal map too, but it turns out they actually rendered it full-res

@Jeepster3D Hey, how did you go about making the rest of this dragon (the body and stuff) when it was lagging a lot by the end of the video with just the head? Wouldn't it just become unbearable as you added more geometry, going up to 5 million polys?
