1.JPG 2.JPG 3.JPG Hi all im new to Zbrush and this forum. Ive a computer and video games student in my final year at university. Ive been using Zbrush for the last week now and cant belive how quickly you can build stuff in this programme. Here is my first real attempt at modling. Not sure how to texture the dude yet. Wonder if anyone could post a link to a good tutorial.....Oh and pls critisise my work i need all the critique i can get....(sorry about typos my spelling is crap)

Welcome and nice work to start on your Zbrush addiction.

I have a thread running, has been for awhile that you may find of some use. You may also wish to join in, a lot more fun that way.

Specifically I thought you character looked great and similar to one I worked up awhile ago at the link below...

Nice work Dazart, and from me too a warm welcome! I like the anatomy allready present, and the hands are very interesting. :tu: Does he have 'suction-fingers'?

[dazart]

yea im still working on him was thinking of doing suckers but not to sure...i also wanted to put cloths on him but i am not sure how to go about doing this i.e do i need to build a new modle and add it i do i need to rework the whole thing

[Jason Belec]

Don't be SORRY dazart!!!

I'm in no way offended.

As for where do I come up with stuff - fertile imagination. I'm just full of $$%$%. ;)

If you look above the chracter in my threadm a page back you can see a clothes idea the froyd used and earlier joe_seig did a great look.

By the way, redoing is the best education, it allows you to eventually do what you want, when and where you want to do it, intuitively.

Overall, these show potental, all of them. Each one could use a revisit to take them to the next level. However I see lots of wonderful things in each, you are progressing fast. ;)

[dazart]

Thanks for the comments.i find them very encouraging which make a change from my uni formum i use. They tend to give C+C but not alot of encouragement..or maybe it just me lol.

[dazart]

Hi again...ive ran into trouble with my modle and dont know wat to do.

Ive been using multi marker to figure out how to position stuff on my main modle. This is a pain in the arse to use however im managing with it with some persistance. The prob i now have is when ive combine all the bits and then converted it to a poly mesh 3d i find that when i go to use any tool i.e inflate tool i can take the darw size down to 1 and intesity down to 9 and it will produce a line thats like 15 in draw size and about the same in density (see pic below)...can anyone help me wat am i doing wrong.dunno.jpg

[dazart]

Heres a little update on the char...not sure if im going to go any furthe with this oneDUDE4.jpg

any feed back would be much apprecieated
