Floyd's Void (http://www.cyber-webs.com/Floydvoid)

I am trying to compile Zbrush links and User Gallery Pages together in one Place, called interestingly enough Z-Place.

Z-Place (http://www.cyber-webs.com/zbrush)

There are a few of the people here that have thier pages listed and a couple with thier own galleries. If anyone would like to have thier gallery listed or work displayed give me a hoot at z_place@cyber-webs.com

In fact is so happens that I have my own Gallery at Z-Place where I keep stuff that I can still stand looking at

Here's a fun link that I found!

This is a web based Pictionary type game, live and against other players.

When it's your turn to draw, you get a pop-up tool palette with a few primative tools: Brush (with variable brush size chooser), Clear, Circle, Rectangle, Rounded Rectangle, Line, Eraser, Eyedropper, Spraypaint, and pen. You also get a simple 24 color palette, or a gradient color Palette.

The main rooms seem to be English, British English, and French. There are also theme rooms like movies, food, phrases, songs...

Have fun!

Here's an application for the hard-core ZBGeek who wants to go one better than just making pictures ... Poster Printery v3 from http://www.cadkas.com. It's a $16 shareware program that prints your finished pictures into posters by splitting them into A4/USletter sized portions. (I'm not sure if any other program can do this, this quickly)
Check it out! It makes good results!

Upham, THANK YOU :D She does some fantastic work! What a site! A bit on the pricey side for some of the products, though, just like you said!

I see that we have over 380 something members here at ZBrushCentral and growing, I urge all of you to pop over to the Zbrush Gallery at Renderosity and support our artists and see some great work there as well

Hey all...my site went through a complete overhaul, hope you like how its changed, oh make sure you have the flash 5 plugin so you can view my movies.

[Nikko]

Cyberclipped, I've got to agree with you. Next to Zbrush, I hold Xara X very dear to my heart, moreso than Illustrator which is finally a very good program as well. Their Xara forumS are outstanding, just like our own ZbrushCentral.

I've recently joined Talkgraphics and have TRIED to get some interest in Zbrush through their 3D Graphics forum, but there isn't a ton of traffic through there yet. It's a fairly recent addition, moderated by a friend and mentor of mine, Gary David Bouton, author of the Inside Photoshop books, Xara fanatic, and all-around good guy. I think I got him hooked on Zbrush :D ;) :D

Hi,

This is an online object constructor. It's interesting to experiment with. :)

You create 3D objects with lines and add muscles and springs, then animate them with gravity etc... and you can save them.

Image Analogies Software

This is an interesting advance in the world of art:

Software has been developed that will filter images to look as they were done in the style of other images, but you have to see to believe the detail that is gotten from the filtering process. Apparantly, a single filter takes hours to run on a 1 gHz machine with 700M of RAM!!

Main Page:
http://mrl.nyu.edu/projects/image-analogies/

These examples are amazing:
http://mrl.nyu.edu/projects/image-analogies/tbn.html

(I love the absurdity in the last waterfall image)

Note that:
A Filtered = the original image source.
A Unfiltered = this is drawn by the artist and creates an analogy to A Filtered. It's amazing how simple this can be!
B Unfiltered = this is drawn in the same style as A Unfiltered to finish the analogy
B Filtered = this is the final filtered image which was created by the computer.

This software is free, so you can play around with it. It's also open source, if any programmers want to try to improve it. It's available for Windows or Unix.

Getting the software to work is somewhat complex...

I hope to run a filter over the weekend using a ZBrush image as the original source. Does anyone have a suggestion for which image I should use as the source? Would anyone be interested in seeing the result posted here?

-ZuZu :)

[Digits]

I put this at a 10 on the superneatobandito scale Zuzu, I can't wait to play around with this.
I for one would love an example done by you, as for which one, my vote is for you to suprise us.

[juandel]

this is absolutely fantastico hot stuff, ZuZu! :D thank you! (though it is - argh - another disadvantage of mac-ianism! :mad: ) i suppose you filter a pic of your own (as i am really curious to zee some ZuZu-art here - or have i just missed it?) :D

editors note: ola, Digits! :D looks like almost same time, same idea, amigo! :D so: i support Digits’ proposition, ZuZu! :D

[Kruzr]

I have a question for anybody who has downloaded this program ( Image Analogies )- I downloaded it a little while ago "lf.tar.gz" & when I attempted to decompress the file, using "WinZip", it came up with another file called "lf.tar.gz", & when I attempt to decompress this file it gives me the error message ( Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid file. ) Has anyone else downloaded this file & had success decompressing it completely? :confused:

I'll check back a little later to read responses. :rolleyes:

Thanks in advance & have a good one . . . :cool: Mark.

PS: ( Using "WinZip" ver. 8.0 )

[ZBC Moderator]

Kruzr,

I unzipped it using Winzip 8 and had no problems...

My suggestion would be to try using Stuffit or another decompression utility.

-ZuZu :)

[Kruzr]

Hi ZUZU . . . :D

I think I know what's wrong? I went back to the site to download it again, & as I read a little more throughly, I saw that it is written for "Windows 2000" not Windows 98. :(
So I guess I won't be trying it out after all! Maybe they feel that Windows 98 is not powerful enough to use it on?

Thanks anyway & have a good one . . . :cool: Mark.

[Kaz]

I am using WinZip 7 and had no trouble on Win98, at least for unzipping. Getting it to run, well that's another story...

I usually like using Stuffit for unzipping, but it did not handle this one very well, so I right dragged the file to a new folder and choose to unzip it to another directory, where WinZip kicked in and took over.

Perhaps its not worth the trouble if its not going to work on 98, but I will give it a shot and let you know...

-kaz

[Muvlo]

Kruzr, in Winzip, make sure you are in "Winzip classic" mode. Mine told me this automaticly.... :qu:
Cool link ZuZu. :)

If anyone is looking for a FREE vector drawing program, I found one here

Eve Vector Drawing Program (http://www.myeve.org/)

The amazing thing of it is that it is only 37K bytes! I haven't really tried it yet, but I use Flash alot of times to draw Alpha cutouts for Zbrush and Bryce and you can't beat the price of this one with a stick!

Hi all,

Here is a great site for "The Best CG Art on the Web" ...sounds a little elitest. I do, however, have to give them their props -the artists are wonderful. ZBC does have some talent in their league though, no doubt about that.
