Adaptive mesh sculpting 2

Just a quick demo to show the neat surface brush cursor I added, and some slightly buggy detail reduction. The app will automatically reduce triangle count in flat areas, as you can see in the end of the video. I use a smoothing tool to flatten the bumps.
It looks like the surface is swimming around a lot, but actually the vertices only move along the surface, so it's not very noticable without the wireframe. It won't destroy any shapes that you sculpt.

Is it very difficult to create a pogram?

[drpetter]

@vi00097 Yes. But it is also fun.

So cool! That cursor really caught my attention, how do you draw it, if you don't mind me asking?

[drpetter]

Google for stencil shadows. I use the same technique but with a sphere for the "shadow volume". The sphere is centered around the surface point that you're currently targeting with the mouse, and the stencil trick means I will only draw the intersection between sphere and mesh.

yes, this is really an awesome program, congratulations on the great work!

@drpetter u go dude very awesome work keep up the awesome work <3

Sculptris is fantastic program!!! Thanks DrPetter :)

[darthmikael]

WOW!...I love this tool!...you are taking the digital sculptin to the next level...of fetail!

Literally...

I started using it and simpli I drop off Mudbox

Great work...hope you can develop a production ready very soon!

@drpetter cool man !! i love this program ,you're a genious because :

1.easy user interface (easyer than that is impossible)

2.small program

3.very detailed (almost ZBRUSH)

and notices:

please add the detail level like in zbrush

[DorianVasco]

Wow, that looks really great! I dont think that kind of adaptive meshing is in zbrush right now?

I see, that's clever! I still got a lot to learn when it comes to 3d programming :) Thanks for explaining!
