I'm reading a book on Hokusai (great japanese painter 1760-1849)...
Hi have seen the "CALI challenge" and i wish start a similar thread.
Here is a painting of Hokusai (one of the 36 views of Fuji):

Warning, ZB will STILL NOT import 8 bit bitmaps, so if you want to import this bitmap document into ZB first save it as a 24 bit bitmap in some other app.

Great idea :D

Hi Cameyo
Very cool try :cool:
Your next thinking is an automatic art making :)
We want keep some control :)
A world where robots make art and will be seen by other robots is a nightmare for human :D
Asimov rules broken :D
Pilou
Ps I am just joking a little, your next script will be sure very nice to see :cool:

[cameyo]

Thank you KingSalami to point out my error: now the bitmat is 24 bit.

Cool. You can really see how the whole anime style is a development of earlier japanese works.

[cameyo]

Adeblov: very cool try.
Sleepservice: some works of Hokusai are called "manga"...
And this is what Hokusai wrote about himself in his autobiography. It is the quintessence of his art philosophy:
"From the age of five I have had a mania for sketching the forms of things. From about the age of fifty I produced a number of designs, yet of all I drew prior to the age of seventy there is truly nothing of great note. At the age of seventy-two I finally apprehended something of the true quality of birds, animals, insects, fish and of the vital nature of grasses and trees. Therefore, at eighty I shall have made some progress, at ninety I shall have penetrated even further the deeper meaning of things, at one hundred I shall have become truly marvelous, and at one hundred and ten, each dot, each line shall surely possess a life of its own. I only beg that gentlemen of sufficiently long life take care to note the truth of my words."
I will post some image of this artist on Community Forum.

Sorry this one is not Zbrush because anybody has made a file with an 3D object + Texture for the demo user ! :(
It's just a reduce of these one from the
Relaxing challenge with Artrage :) (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=5&t=001659&p=3)(page down)
