great news!

mayito7777 · 21st June 2007, 13:57

I get these news all the time, but I didn't know if you were interested in having them posted here?

Thomas · 21st June 2007, 14:17

Always interested in news related to 3D and 2D world!
I can also give you the access to the blog if you want

mayito7777 · 21st June 2007, 14:19

Cool, anything I can do to help.

Grendel · 21st June 2007, 14:42

I'd like to be able to do reviews for the blog Thomas. I go over allot of materials and programs. I just recieved the digital tutors Z3 basic DVD nad am watching it now. I have the Meats Z2 Intro but his teaching style kind of wandered around allot for my taste and had to much focus on the illustration aspects of Z. The digital tutors instructor seems more to the point of getting what you need to know on screen.

mayito7777 · 21st June 2007, 14:45

Grendel if you want, anytime I get across some of these news I can send them to you and you can review them and then post them in the blog. Sounds OK for you?

Thomas · 21st June 2007, 14:48

Grendel, Mayito: please, drop me a login/password (you will be able to change the pass later) for the blog, I will also drop you some little instructions

Thanks!

Grendel · 21st June 2007, 14:53

Mayito - we can both do it I just happened to have somehting related in this case.

mayito7777 · 21st June 2007, 15:01

Cool, anything to help!!!

Thomas · 21st June 2007, 15:15

Honnestly, I'm looking for content like reviews and article for Polyloop, then, your help have a warm (no, hot!) welcome

tonytrout · 22nd June 2007, 03:58

Grendel I have the Z2 intro by meats meyer too, Im really interested in what your thoughts are on the DTutors version for z3. Ive been vacilating between that and the gnomen one.

Sketchy · 23rd June 2007, 05:24

I'm getting more and more interested in using Zbrush (famous for organic modeling) when it comes to non-organic models. Meats Meier's sample images are hard to ignore. And the rendering.... it closely resembles my taste, the shiny very reflective theme. The level of details is just astounding.

And it's about time treating Zbrush not only capable of sculpting organically, but mechanically.

(Zbrush's major drawback, though, is that there seems to be no clear definition of space. There is no camera to move around the usual world space most 3d apps have. I have no idea how units are measured to establish proportion.)

Wася · 24th June 2007, 12:22

Digital Tutors also releases some tutors for Zbrush 3:

- Introduction to Zbrush 3
- Sculpting Techniques with Zbrush 3
- Pipeline Integration with Maya and Zbrush 3

1st and 2nd both have download option.

WillBellJr · 25th June 2007, 18:16

Yeah I had purchased the DT Z3 stuff when it first came out - got Meat's ZBrush for Illustration also. (I'd like to use Z3 for mechanicals also - amazing how he did that arm using ZBrush...)

I'll prolly grab the Meat Z3 intro as well.

-Will

Wася · 25th June 2007, 19:40

Who or what is Meat? Where tutors are placed?

I had one ZBrush 2 tutor from Gnomon, and, to be honest, I deeply dislike it. Lot of strokes without explanation. Whatch the engine to get the principles of combustion.

WillBellJr · 28th June 2007, 18:28

Meats Meyer - the instructor on the Gnomon discs...

-Will

Wася · 28th June 2007, 18:32

oops, thought it's a company name
kinda homophone

thank you

tonytrout · 26th September 2007, 11:22

I finally bought this gnomon dvd and its helped me to put together some of the workflow in ZB, especially the polypainting and texturing. I start to warm to it just a little

Wася · 26th September 2007, 12:23

Two days ago I got it also, mostly because of new v3 topology features. Found lot of useful info in other areas even after watching some tutors before (from digitaltutors, free tutors).
