[L'Ancien Regime]

De chao ordo.

You tend to start out a section like this very slowly and uncertainly, then build in confidence and speed as you figure out a way to solve the problems that confront you both in subject matter and in medium.

That's it for the ribcage for now. Next on the agenda; the scapulae and clavicles...

Here's a nice one done in Zbrush by Vishakh67

I decided not to bring it in with Symmetry turned on since the scapula is positioned at angle to the ribcage and monkeying around with two of them in symmetry would more trouble than I cared for. When this one is done I'll just clone/flip it over the x axis..

Working with really thin laminates with high relief, particularly at their edges will drive you crazy



And thank you Digman for showing me all the ins and outs of the Pose tool. I hated that thing before you showed me how it worked, now I'm actually kinda liking it a lot.

Done. Well good enough for the voxel stage. I'll add the other angles since it's almost impossible to find photo references from those angles and without a real skelton it's impossible to figure out what's going on in there.

Next; Os Clavicule.

There are no simple bones. Each bone has a physignomy that is as unique and powerful as each human face.

I came down with a wicked cold yesterday so I didn't feel like much more than importing the femur, tibia, fibia and foot bones that I'd done earlier. It took a bit of juggling around with scaling etc but it was pretty easy to do. It doesn't look that good at this resolution on the screen.

Sometimes you just have to be patient and wait for the good times to come along, which hopefully will arrive when the texturing and rendering take place in high resolution with more dramatic and colorful lighting.

Mopping up the last dregs of the cold. Glad that's over. Back to work.

So I finally loaded all the bones of the right arm and hand into 3d Coat and then cloned and flipped them for the left arm. They're still in a crude form but at least the beaurocratic work is done...it wasn't necessarily fun figuring out how to parent layers to facilitate their scaling an movement later...like the bones of the hands.

Oftentimes the stuff you think will be the simplest is the toughest.
Not really done but good enough to be finished later with surface mode.
