Hey, so I have been using Medium more as a collaboration space with clients using existing models, but decided to start doing my own thing 🙂

Decided to do a quick doodle myself to figure out workflows between it and Substance and Redshift renderer .. Was super quick, gave me an idea for a proper sculpt which I will chronicle here 🙂

Going to have a nice long 3-hour session tonight on my Rodin sculpt, cant wait!


Ya, pretty hard one to pass up.  I get the feeling that it's going to be a really big project though.  Just paying tribute to Rodin's mastery seems like a massive challenge.  Glad we don't have to do this in granite, I cannot even imagine the amount of skill that must take.

Beautiful sculpt, you should probably read the contest rules though.  You're going to have to do another one now

What do you mean do another one? What did I miss?

Ya, looks like you found it.  Still an awesome sculpt, you were going to do another one anyhow, it's not like you aren't addicted to medium, like the rest of us 🙂

 Won't have the time, its a silly rule if you ask me, we can post updates on cgsociety contests, anywhoo, it should be mentioned in the post rather than buried in the pdf, nevermind .. I had fun making it tho, will post some final renders tomorrow.

Full rules are in the contest link.  With a very broad reading of this,  might still be eligible, ultimately it's at the contest holder's discretion, and they aren't required to disqualify.  There's also a somewhat contradictory clause about company logos, and the requirement not to use outside software, unclear how that applies to the medium logo. Medium gets all rights to the work and any adaptations of the character, as well.

The relevant portion appears to be this:
  • "During the Entry Period, Submissions cannot be displayed or distributed except by us and entrant must maintain all rights, without third party obligations, to transfer entrant’s Submission to us if selected as a Winner."
  • "Submissions must not have been submitted previously in any contest of any kind or exhibited or displayed publicly (i.e., disclosed beyond your immediate circle of friends and family) through any means previously."
  • "Entrants agree that during the Entry Period, they shall not make, and shall not permit, any other public use, display or distribution of the Submissions, and they shall maintain all rights without encumbrances so that, if Sponsor desires, entrants can assign all rights in and to Submissions if selected as a Winner."
Probably wouldn't hurt to get official clarification

Agree that the sculpt is awesome.

So, I was rewatching Ghost in the Shell for like 1000th time (anime version) .. and I really wanted to re-create or at least my interpretation of the iconc Spider Tank where Major rips it open, ripping herself apart in the process.

Was meant to be a quick little doodle but it turned into an obsession!!

Everything was modelled using Medium, even the walls and pillars, textured in Substance Painter and rendered using Redshift. I was so pleased with the result I decided to make a video of it, took 2 weeks to produce.

Enjoy 🙂

I am sure @cybereality will get a kick out of this 🙂

Some test renders and other bits:

Each frame is constructed from render passes for AO, GI, diffused lighting, volumetric lights, reflections, refractions etc.

Some other environment lighting tests, I deemed it too bright and not atmospheric enough.
