Out of the Water and Onto Land

A lot of the luster and shine was lost when compressed to jpeg

that is weird how it looks really real and then you can see where the polys start showin it starts looking digital.really cool.

[SpaceMan]

Thanks for the reply- yes the white areas don't know how to get them from showing.

Under calm waters (maybe add a fish or starfish)

Hmmm this remainds me of the movie "Lord of the Rings" when the butt-ugly spider comes out... really sweet! :)

[SpaceMan]

Thanks Aztec...soljA :) now I know what kind of fish to add (if I add a fish) the kind that eats spiders :D

Found an underwater cave (forgot which galaxy the planet is from) and went inside with the Spaceship’s SubPod and took a picture of some of the cave’s wall.

Cool stuff :)

what material are you useing?


:)

[SpaceMan]

Hey Polaris30 how is your Budda model coming along?

The rock like texture is one I made (could't get the color effect in ZBrush - not saying it can not be done in ZBrush)
The texture file I have jpeg-ed to a 368kb file size.

[SpaceMan]

ok I re-sized the texture and tried it out in ZBrush it looks ok for those who want to try it here is the zip file rocks texture.zip (http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/uploaded_from_zbc/200407/user_file-1083825752txv.zip)

[SpaceMan]

NOTE for using the texture to get the effect of the rocks in the image: the texture material works best on orgaic shapes and try the following Z2 Material settings
Basic Material
Basic Material 2
Double Shade 1
Double Shade 2

[SpaceMan]

A dash of color (Note: no painting on these images used only textures and Z2 materials to get the colors) plus lighting and rendering options (edited- added some more info)

Hi Space
Zb rocks with the rocks :)
Pilou
ps You have made your "rocks texture.zip" with Apophysis ?

[SpaceMan]

Pilou yes and no
That is the textures like the colors here

http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/uploaded_from_zbc/200405/user_image-1083862927roy.jpg


yes but the colors did not work right so I eliminated the background color and added the lighter color thru layer in back in graphics program. Color still not looking what I wanted so I eliminated some other colors then merged the layers then used the saved image as the texture.

[SpaceMan]

BTW Pilou - I think you started a post with links to textures. Post a link to your post with texture links :cool:

[Frenchy Pilou]

You find some very good links of textures on this thread here (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=013926&p=)(slide the page)

Thanks Pilou for the link - I thought you started a link post for texture links (I'll check the coummity fourm for it- maybe it was the free be post)

The image is 4000x2000 but I had to resize and save as a jpeg at low setting- I hope you can see how the ztools worked in creating the image. I learned more of ZBrus's ztools from doing the underwater seascapes. Some of the ideals where inspired by Polaris30's post seascapes from his zscript posted there. And for Pilou for posting a link to a gallery which showed an image (amoung others) done by the software Apophysis.

Note: I got some white areas (as noted in the second image) I did not get rid of them but I did use the rock texture for a light color which changed the whites areas to another color.

[SpaceMan]

LOL - did a fog render - Zbrush is :cool:
