| Nate - Model
Just started learning Zbrush. This is sort of a sculpting exersize... nothing at all spectacular, just feeling my way with some of the sculpting tools. Haven't ventured into the texturing and the Zillion other things that Z is so cool at.  Roughed out head in Hexagon, imported into Zbrush as .obj Lots to do. Lots to learn. Yippeee!!  |

Making zits is fun in Zbrush... anyway these are practice studies as I slowly get acquainted with da Zbrush... As I get farther into Z, I'm beginning to feel that this is an illustrator's tool that I've been looking for for a long time. Example being the texturing and painting... I am a doodler, I hate the idea of trying to unwrap, unfold and smear around tangles of UV's... yikes... I just want to get on with the creatin' Last edited by Nate Owens; 18th August 2007 at 14:48. |

lookin good! It's very liberating to leave those UV maps behind  I'm glad it's fun for you. Have you come across any good tuts for eye sockets... thats where I always get messed up. |

I'll keep my eye out = = for eye sockets tuts.I'm sort of creeping along and feeling my way with Z, but at least it is a forward motion. I kinda jumped to some areas that I am particularly interested in doing to see if I could do it with Z. (ie: texturing and painting on the model, and figuring out how and if I could bring the displacement map into Carrara). Z seems to come through with flying colors... it's up to me to learn to make her dance. (oops.. there's another Eagles song popping into my head). Rickei... you were right as rain about me getting involved with zBrush... thanks. (I think the zmapper is done some other way - haven't come to that part yet, and Pixologic is still fine-tuning 3.1) Really thinking seriously about getting the Meats Meier tutorial CDs... Gnomomnom?? (who can spell that?) has a decent price on them now... Meats is truly awesome. Too bad that work thing keeps getting in my path |

Ahh... when I get more tuned in to Zbrush... and when Carrara 6 is in my hands, I want to see if I can put some of that C6 hair on one of my Z critters. I think it can be done... a wild combo!

Thanks, Teyon... I'm learning a lot, but not nearly enough time at working with Z. Still haven't figured out lighting or rendering. So far I'm just doing screen grabs. Well, one step at a time. The danger is jumping around and just getting little bits here and there. |

I know the feeling! I just figured out how to export a render (you go to the Document menu and choose Export - weird). I still need to figure out lighting but I'm just happy to get smooth shadows for now. I have to say, the online docs for ZBrush kind of suck. Well, I'll be sure to hop in here to keep track of your ZBrush development! |

| Eye Socket for ZBrush Quote:
No more of those tricks with sub-d modeling of loops and edges trying to make the eye socket. I'm all for using all the tools available to get the project moving. I am fast becoming a hard-core Z-addict...  (I still like building my base in Hexagon... that might change when I learn more about the big Z) | |

| E-Z: this one too... mayito77: Ha! - What I wished I looked like when I was around 17... Marlboro dude with ducktail (rock-n-roll hairstyle from '50s). At that time I had a flat-top and was somewhat geeky. I didn't get cool until I got older and then I didn't give a hoot....  |
