-- Tribut to Strike -- (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=015968)

[Dickie]

Such an excellent model. The sculpting and detailing are exceptional. Helmet is a nice addition. Hell of an inspiration, Strike... :D

Dickie

[Strike]

Thanks all ! :)

Abyssis : Yes ! Thanks alot for the tribute !! :)

Here's a small zcript to show you the creation of a basic helmet from a simple Sphere :

[Frenchy Pilou]

That's perfect ! :tu:
Pilou

[Mahlikus The Black]

OMG Strike this is awesome! Is that thing multimarked or did you use markers for the construction of the different poses?
Totally inspirational man. Thank you very much!
Absolutely can not wait to see more. :eek: :D :tu:

[Strike]

Thanks alot Pilou ! :)

Mahlikus : In fact i started from Zphere for the main armor structure (kind of the same method i described in the practical guide), and then i added different elements such as modified plane, spheres, etc... multimarked on one and only object to the end.

The head is added by composition on the canvas after the armor.

Thanks alot ! :)

[Satch]

Ace Stuff mate!! Awsome work :)

[artboy21]

one word - INCREDIBLE! strike, that armor and helmet are really nice! u are doing some of the best Z2 work that i have seen! keep it coming! thanx for the helmet script too.

artboy

[Eidan]

Just amazing strike...i hope to see a textured version soon! :D

[Dickie]

Strike, my man, you are a Zbrush master. I'm in serious awe now...Can't wait to see how he comes out. I need to learn how to manipulate the geometry basics with such a wizard's hand...

Dickie

[Rafael Hernandez]

Inspiring work Strike. Keep 'em coming.

[travart]

:eek:

beautiful! and thanks for the tool to enjoy!

[drjjwow]

Thanks for the awesome head tool and helmet script. heres my tribute image to you. http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/uploaded_from_zbc/200406/user_image-1087272444gir.jpg

[wierdPal]

The biohazard helmet is a nice touch.

Snap your fingers... I'll snap your neck! :tu:

[Abyssis]

FUN-tastico, Strike-fella :tu: :tu: :cool:

[50'sKID]

Strike, wonderfull work, thanks for script. This is the best teaching.

Polaris: good to SEE you,....nice guitar. Zya, 50.

[Maggot]

Hi, what did you use multimarkers for? I thought they were only for referencing multiple objects (actually i dont have a clue what use they are!) :o

[louis1234]

Does the Zscript for the orcs only work in V2. Im on a mac with v1.5 and the script stop after creating the first sphere?

Regards

Simon

[sirquadalot]

Well done Strike. I look forward to him being textured! Keep up the great work! :tu:

[Greylion]

Hi strike how do you go about creating them individual armour plates ? is it the same process of creating the helmet you did ?

[Strike]

Thanks all ! :)

About the armor, i created it from zphere for the main structure (i describe the method in the practical Guide), and then i put a marker on it. then i add different other pieces like modified spheres or planes and add details to them before marking them to the basic armor. Once i have a full armor, i add details.
I think the script only works with v2.

Here's the final one. I added textures from photoshop to Zbrush to get the result.

Hairs are added in 2D under photoshop from an orc picture i have been inspired for the pose of my image, such as color tones.

Here it is :

[pnoland]

You sir, are amazing. :) Great result with the render, I've learned a lot from your zscripts too...to cool that you've included those. Keep it up! :)

pnoland

[Mahlikus The Black]

OMG!!!
*faint*

[artboy21]

Strike, the textured version rocks! all of the textures are perfect! you are crazy good! you should be working for WETA or something. did u enter anything in expose 2? if not you should have. keep posting your astounding work!

artboy

[YMO]

amazing art
big 10x for zcripts

[Dickie]

Strike, I am speechless! Composition, mood, lighting, modeling, texturing are all marks of a master artisan. I loved the B/W image, but the color one is just sooo nice...

Dickie

[JOHNVQ3]

:) Zpectacular head model strike :tu: :tu: and great images too.

[Jinxius]

Strike: actually making his jaw bloody would make him more and more scary :eek:
A bit of blood over the armour and then nothing more could be said.

If this was your final hope to hear the others about adding or not the above suggestions.

Anyway..................OMD !!
I'm italian so OMD stands for OMG :)

Saluti,
Jinxius.

[Mentat7]

That is a beautiful picture Strike! (a beautiful orc...lol) As well as the modeling is done I think a treatise on your texturing/paint-up of this piece would be a most welcomed resource!! :D :tu: :tu: :tu:

[Giantsun]

That is amazing...WOW!!! :D

Strike is a pleasure to thanks again for the zscript tutorials¡ from the number and the words of each reply is very easy to demonstrate what could do this kind of help to the forum¡¡
Everybody here grow with this attitude from Strike and I invite the other masters or zb artist to share like Strike do. We dont need anything more that this great attitude, we dont need commercial invitation if we can see the zscript from our great master here in the forum.
I invite for example to MTB(to mention one of the great guys here) to share the way you reach your beutiful art, no words....just zscript, for example¡
Thanks Strike

Hi Abyssis
In what prog this little car ? :)
Pilou

[Abyssis]

Hi my Frenchie-friend :)

Modelled in SolidThinking5.0 (ItalianNurbsSW par excellence), rendered in fresh-new-CX (Strata/USA) :tu: :tu:

[Strike]

thanks Abyssis !!! :) Where are the keys ? ;)

[Abyssis]

Near Miami :D :D

[Frenchy Pilou]

Hi Abyssis
Have you try to import a car model in Zbrush for modify and transform it by any deformation and texturizing?
I am sure that the result will be crazzy !
Pilou

[joebount]

T'avais pas dis que t'arraitais la 3d, hum ?
Sinon, très cool

[Abyssis]

Hi back, Frenchie...

Yes, I did, but the results are not good enough 4 me (I meant not yet, of course)...
The biggest problem is glass and real transparency/refraction and so on...

[mickatt]

that's an awesome work !!!

en francais: je viens de prendre une grosse claque le rendu et l'étalonnage final de l'image est terrible !!!

et merci d'avoir partagé ton modèle c'est très interessant

[Thomas Mahler]

Whow, Jean-Sebastien - You're an amazing artist. I've been watching your work since quite some time now, you're really talented.

Do you still use Lightwave or is ZBrush the only software you're currently using?

[Bija]

Strike---->

Awsome work and script! I was watching today and I was wondering if you could tell me how you did that trick after you were done modeling your z-spheres and made the adaptive skin- Instead of clearing the canvas of the z-sphere you kept it and drew the adaptive next to it then somehow merged them together and continued to work (I'm guessing because you wanted to keep the perameters identical ie size and placement) Thanks again!

[Thomas Mahler]

@Bija: He worked with Layers - He just cleared the layer with the Zsphere on, watch closely! :)

[policarpo]

You are a true master . ::STRIKE ::.

Keep up the amazing work because it is truly inspiring!!!

[Frenchy Pilou]

Hi Abyssis
Not for a realistic car but for a "monster car" result by some transformation :D
Pilou

[PusGhetty]

Truly AWE inspiring work my friend!
The details, mats and lighting are truly amazing!
Have a good one,
Michael

[arambarri]

Many thanks for the inspiration you have
given me.
More thanks for the scripts which will be
played again and again.
And a final thanks for the time and effort it took to put this together so you could share with us.
I hope it comes back to you a hundred fold.

[Leigh]

Holy crap that is absolutely amazing! I've always loved the very particular look that your work has always had, and this is no exception. Beautiful work!

[Frenchy Pilou]

Hi Leigh
Not yet try Zbrush ? ;)
Pilou
PS And thx again about the Machine Flesh inversing :cool:

[mu777y]

love the head, great detailing on skin and great work on the wrinkles

[Dazzin]

Je visite ce forum depuis un moment sans jamais répondre a un message mais là j'avoue que les expressions de l'orc sont superbes !
Je viens de visiter ton site et je vois que tu n'est pas a ton coup d'essai.

Gratz :p

Promis, je me met a l'anglais histoire de participer un peu :p

[Uber]

Hey, Strike!

I wondering how to create the armor? Sorry, just dont get it!

Maybe you'll post some pics? or tips? maybe Zscript about modelling of armour?

tnanks!

[aminuts]

hi Uber,

If you get the Practical Guide there is a whole step by step tutorial on how to make armor as well as many other great tutorials from some of the best Zbrushers around.

I don't have the link in front of me at the moment but you can find it from the home page or do a search.

[arneltapia]

Hi guys,

With your great samples from now on i will put most of my time exploring and modeling in Zbrush. You all inspired me....

[Alessandro Vannini]

I'm trying to download this file:

http://www.designpicture.com/orcishtool.zip

But without success, I always get "file not found". Can you point me to a location where I can download your file in order to follow your tutorial?

Thank you!!! :D

[iammalkavian]

The Script runs for the modeling, but I am confused to get the skin to work?
Import Texture the zcriptresult.jpg or the final_orcish.jpg?

Thanks guys, I am a newbie...but learning....

[iammalkavian]

Absolutley Beautiful!!!! This Has inspired me to!!!!

[MaxMan]

Great script, but orcishtool.zip is 'not found'

[Strike]

Hi,

Sorry for that, but i deleted it to save some space on my website some weeks ago, and i can't find it anymore on my HD.

[iammalkavian]

Does anyone have that? I am trying to find it.....
Did that tool help with the texture.....it's look sooo wonderful...

[Strike]

found it back ! it will be back on my website in few minutes.

[iammalkavian]
