First i Wanted it to be a nice looking fellow cuz Iv'e already done evil dudes... But I made him evil anyways... dunno why. I wanted him to like a disturbed person who is insane or something (therefore the smile) But it just makes him look cute so I dunno... haha.
I had a problem with the eyes as you can see, I tried using the smudge tool, but It didnt work(?)

Anyways give me some tips on how to make him better =)
L8ers ya'l.

Well, your off too a pretty good start! If you want to change this to a more 'insane' smile, try raising only one side of the smile...like a smerk..that will help.
As for age, I know I am one of the youngest @ 24. As far as I have been told, the users span from 16 to 60 and above so we are pretty spread out here though the majority seems to be from 30 to 40...about).

[drjjwow]

this is what i love about this site... the creativeness of all people.. your doing really good so keep posting.

[ride4pride]

Good idea with that smirk thingie! Il try that later =)
Yeh I kinda thought everyone was about 30-40 =) So I guess Im like the youngest here =) haha. cool

Oh yea, I got a question

The other day I was trying to make a snowboard in zbrush. But I have absolutely no clue on how to.... I tryed making one with a cube. But I cant make the ends go up and make them round... Can someone please help me on this one? Thnks =)

Do you have ZBrush 1.51?
So I may send you a script

Well if you do then here

board-Deformation.txt (http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/zbc_uploads/user_file-1039025367fgh.txt)

Its a messy script and I too didnt know how when starting this script buthopefully it will give you an Idea...just make sure you turn on show actions in the zscript palette...slow down the script too..to about 400.

Try masking off the areas you don't want affected and divide and smooth the rest. Same principle goes for curving the ends.

Here is another one using Zspheres this time (adaptive skinning). This was easier thanks to Mentat7 for openning my eyes to the million uses of low-poly adaptive skinning. :D

I got 1.23B.... And I dont even know what masking is.... lol.
But Il look for something called masking and Il post what I come up with... haha.
Well thanks for the help =)
/Jim

P.S Does that script work with 1.23B?

[Mahlikus The Black]

nope :(

Go to the quicklinks section (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=2&t=000049) and there you will find what is and where to find masking...also look for deformations...both of with are located in the tools palette. You are sure to find scripts there that will work as well.

It's looking good Jim! I like the texture you used on the guy, though it looks a little streched out. People here come as young as early teens, and never leave :D

[ride4pride]

Il check that link out when I come home, thnx again =)
