Hi mahlikus, very good tutorial to me. I always have problems with first zspehre, it don't act like I wanted. Where do you normally put the first zspehre, does it matter how you start?

[Stonecutter]

That IS a very nice way to do hips, MTB... :tu: :) :tu:
Thanks for a very useful post... :cool:

[Mahlikus The Black]

No problem guys...and thank you.
Jimking- It doesnt matter but it helps to have it between the shoulder and hips. This allows for better handling of the zif chain then if it were on the head or hip.

Hi MTB,
very nice and informative.

But i can't see your new web site...

And where is the model to download ?

[Stonecutter]

Hi Massimo! :D

I think all you have to do to download the model is to click on the picture... :cool:
(And the weblink worked for me... ;) )

[Bonecradle]

Sweet spheres MTB.

I've always been disatisfied with my own hips, and there is the solution on your poser - so simple and elegant :tu:

[Jimking]

Hi cameyo
hit that link and put www in front of the address. He seems to have it attached wrong url.
hope this helps

[Jimking]

yep, me too

[matvara]

Thanks for the zsphere lesson! You do it quite
differently and much better. :tu:

[DMerchen]

Nice stuff MTB! I can't wait to get a look at the tutorial. The low poly stuff is something I have always struggled with. You make it look easy. :)

[juandel]

whoooah! wonderful model and poses/presentation - topnotch stuff, Mahlikus!

[wchamlet]

Very cool stuff MTB. Just think, in a short while, you'll be able to do this with a super detailed zsphere model!

Thanks for sharing the model too, it will help me figure out some things.

:tu:

[Mahlikus The Black]

Well, I think I'll make an annotated ZScript on the subject of Zif-Figure Modeling. Would be better to learn more on why it is the way it is and not just looking at a tool.
Might take me a day or two to plan everything and get it perfect but I am up to it.

Thanks again for all your comments everyone.

[tjaden]

Great poses MTB :tu: the guy divin down the hole and something about the running man are very funny.

i for one would greatly appreciate any script on zif modelling you could find the time to put together :)

[Mahlikus The Black]

NP. It will probably be this weekend. Need to freshen up on zscript stuff.

[Digits]

Thought I would have a bit of fun with your model and Mentat's Achranoid (sp)

Looks like your little buddy got a little too close to the nuclear power plant! But he sure can play piano

[zerobio]

Mahlikus, please do make that script because your modeling is amazing.

[WENDEX2112]

I'm working on the same kind of thing using zspheres, like cartoon set peices but with zsphere people no mesh, theres quite a lot of funny stuff you can rig them up for. I'll be posting them as I go along.:)
