After seeing the results achievable with Zbrush2 I finally decided to make a move...
2 Weeks ago, we (the company I work for) bought 2 licenses (on my request, I was drooling all over the place) of the software for test purposes and to see if it would help optimize our pipeline... Finally, today, I had a chance to put my hands "in the mud" and try Zbrush2 properly for the first time. I immediately knew I shouldn't have waited for so long... I spent a bit more than half a day freeroaming through the basic functions and building my very first model starting from zsphere. I just let my hands wander instinctively, not knowing what I wanted to do, just pure fun...
I made a lot of mistakes when I laid down the initial topology and I miss a deeper knowledge of the software to be able to workaround the issues showing here (bad creasing in some areas) and a lot of functions are still very obscure to me. Moreover I lost the symmetry at some point in the process and after doing several smart resym, it seems that the hires mesh contour has become slightly imprecise (although you can't see it there, it's just a very high frequency noise) and every brush stroke I do on the mesh is now noisy thus making the whole thing impossible to work with.
Because of all this, after 5 hours of learning I decided to stop. I didn't get a chance to have a look at projection master yet, that's my next item on the list. I guess this big boy will never get polished or finished, but I had so much fun in a few hours that I don't care.
Since it seems to be a custom here to send your first work... Here you go! Just don't take it seriously, I know it's crappy (and I'm not even taking about the crazy anatomy :rolleyes: )

I JUST WANTED TO FINISH MY FIRST POST HERE WITH A BIG THANK YOU TO THE WHOLE PIXOLOGIC TEAM. YOU MADE MY MY BEST 3D FANTASIES COME TRUE! WE'LL DEFINITELY BUY SOME MORE LICENSES SHORTLY !!!
PS : FRIMASSON ! Je sais que t'es la !! Qu'est ce que tu deviens vieux rascal ? PM moi !!
