It's a real drag

I have been using an interesting method to paint skies and backgrounds recently. This tip is good for newbies and old bees alike. The DragRectangle Stroke was demonstrated in Pixolator's "Rusted Golden Idol" script and also is featured in the TextureMaster tutorial. Now here it is again in a Zscript that I made that shows how a paintstroke can be transformed and used in an interesting way. DragRect.txt (http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/zbc_uploads/user_file-1010817842dwl.txt) Enjoy :)

Thanks for the script Zoid, we cannot learn to many techniques. Since I do more painting than modeling I am sure that I will find it useful. Once again thank you.

I never knew this could even be done. This is great, Thanks.

Oh Zoid this is a great tutorial! Thank you :) :) :) :) :). I have to rename it to
! Sky alpha transformable strokes. Yes, its long but I know I will keep going back to it! LOL

[Stonecutter]

Wonderful, Zoid!! :tu: :tu: :tu:
Your approach is the soil for so many flowers of imagination, and you've done it again!! :cool: :tu: :cool:

[Zoid]

Thank you all for the kind comments. I enjoyed being able to share this.

EZ, your sky is a beauty and it's reassuring to see that this works for someone else.

Juandel, I'm off to your thread directly after this posting to add this script. Thanks for reminding me. My techniques used here are also a result of seeing what you and many others did in the skymaking thread.

Stonecutter, What a beautiful and eloquent comment! I'm very flattered, Thanks :rolleyes:

Zoid I'm going to download your script and see what the heck your up to.Looks good though.I use the drag rectangle alot.I've also lately found the straight line stroke
useful.

[Muvlo]

Beautiful images Zoid and EZ, and a great method you've shown us! :)

[DeeVee]

Trying out your methods. This is what I came up with. I hope I have been a good student, and get a passing grade. http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/zbc_uploads/user_image-1011065025eaw.jpg

[Zoid]

A + :tu: Bright and beautiful, which is just what we expect from you. And look how straight that horizon line is! ;)

[DeeVee]

Thanks Zoid . I learn a lot from books and from watching. Your tutorial was very easy to follow and duplicate. Now please do one on water.

Hi DeeVee, I saw your note this morning and I painted this at lunchtime. I didn't record a script of this because it would go on for about an hour. I'll try and make something this evening that briefly describes some watery tips that I like to use :cool:

[DeeVee]

Thank you so very much, you are a gentleman and a damn good ZBrush artist too.
