First thing ever on ZBrush... and first post too

[tothdown]

Hi People, this is my first post and I would like to thank everyone that shares around here. I hope someday I can get to your level and help noobies like myself.

So, after hours of watching zscripts & videos and after banging my head several times on the wall to see if it would help I´m finnaly starting to understand the Zbrush workflow...

So this is what I came up with... it´s not finished and I don´t know what it acctually is... It was suppose to be an alien... then it was just looking like a bull... now I think it´s more like a weird dog or something :confused: . But nevermind, I´m happy I could do something simple like this for a start. Now I want to add some more detail and then texture it... The only problem is that I don´t know how to use projection master yet. I´ve seen tutorials over here, but my head is kinda hard to get new stuff ya know?

So, I hope it´s not too bad for a newbie.

Thanks for sharing!


Ps: I hope I´ve done right with the pictures... I can´t see them.. man, I´m noob even in the forum! Hahahah :D :D :D

Well, I´m still quite new here too, but I think this thread is in the right place. You´re first wip looks much better than my first try with Zbrush: it was a formless blob of matter; but hey, it had 1.523.841 polygons!!! :cool:
The Projection Master is quite simpel; it drops your model and makes it sort of a picture on which you paint colors and even bump-detail. After picking the model up again the program translates the colors and stuff unto the 3D model. At least, that's what I think it does... Perhaps I am totally wrong, but I too am still wet behind the ears. :D
Watch the vids, and then make a 3D-sphere in Zbrush, create a texture for it in the texture panel, press Projection Master, make sure only 'Colors' and (optionally) 'fade' are marked, and press Drop now. Paint away with colors and brushes and press Proj Mast. again, and 'Pickup now'. Hopefully you will see that the thing has some paint on it now. After this: experiment and prod around, and then give your alien-bull-beasty-thingy a nice purple skin :lol:.
Enjoy the learning process, we all do I guess!
