Sijun Forums :: View topic - [request] High quality (3D/statue) of muscular human figure

I am currently studying anatomy, and it would be very helpfull to have a rotatable reference of an accurate muscular figure. Something like this: http://www.3duser.co.kr/zb41/data/3dartist/1065143764/visen_brnicevic1[1].jpg A 3D model would be best I think, but if there are small muscular statues it would be great too. Maybe small replica's of real statues?

Check out Virtual Pose.
It is a collection of poses, male and female that you can rotate 360� in increments.

I'd heard bad things about the first Virtual Pose, but I picked up the 3rd book/CD recently and I'm pretty happy with it. The rotations are done in QTVR, so you don't have to use any propietary interface, and the resolution is pretty good . . . they're probably about 1000 pixels high.

They airbrush out the anus though, so I'm afraid I can't offer my complete endorsement. A world without assholes is one I just can't get behind.

In the lectures of Robert Beverly Hale

(avalable here http://jo-an.com/art_video.htm or at many college libraries)

there is a really accurate well-done 3-foot high sculpture visible in the background that would be great to have. I wonder if sculptures like that are commercially available. The lectures were done at the Art Students League in NY, and may simply be the work of someone there.

Balistic, you are such a wit... Shocked

That was so bad, but so funny...

Ya gotta remember, we're not talking detailed work here, we're talking a virtual model to practice. If you want the good stuff, you have to do live models. Many communities have some sort of art group with live drawing classes. Maybe you live near one. For the rest of us, virtual (choco-stars or no) is as close as we can get without hitting a loved one on the head with a mallet whilst they're not looking...

An expensive option:

I am doing 3 lifedrawing classes a week, so it is not meant for that. I know the importance of life drawing.

A detailed 3D model is good because you have the wiremodel underneath which helps you understand the basic forms faster! That's why I would like a 3D model.

Statues on the other hand are great because they have a uniform color.
They are used in all good fine art schools together with drawing from the model.

I would love to see the video's of Robert Beverly Hale. But they are $700 and I just don't know if it is worth it.
