Adaptive posing

[Gary Komar]

hello all been a little while since my last post this model
that i have been working on i thought i would set it up for posing
using skelegons in lightwave.after some expirimenting i thuoght
that the same thing can be done in zbrush with careful masking
using the tools>modifiers preview window,store,shift clicking, and
hunting down the joint to be edited by click dragging the cursor
in the preveiw window then deformation>rotate.also using size xyz to adjust the area
effected(null) by the bend in the elboes and all other joints in a sense
having very good control over posing adaptive skin models
with convincing bends and muscle flex.also masking and inverting
the joints then smoothing them to get the skin folds to your liking.
hope the contact sheet and discription help any ideas or feedback
surely welcome.the first two images showing making clothes
for the model using a clone,masking,deleting points,alpha inflates
multi marking them together then posing the composite mesh. http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/uploaded_from_zbc/200312/user_image-1071793720sea.jpg

Very nice Gary! Very nice indeed!! :tu:

[matvara]

Excellent curves Gary and very good posing! :tu:

Lately this is being repetitious,but thank you for the work and the inspiration.
And I might add, it's a lot better than looking at the inhabitants of the planet Zandui.
The Poser people will soon be doing their wardrobe shopping at your store.
If I should miss you Happy New Year and many thanks for all the help and the scripts.
It was your Wip Zandra that encouraged me to devote my time exclusively to zbrush and to leave Maya for the Mayans.
Yours will be the first name in the suicide letter.
Luck
