Zbrush users unite! everyone welcome! (Zbrush Chat)

[vend3r]

Hello there I have created a meebo chat room for zbrush

you are all welcome to come

just go to http://www.meebo.com/room/zbrushcentralchat/

the password is zcentral

to join in! here we can share all type of information about zbrush share pictures, links and even play streaming video without leaving the page that everyone can watch at the same time!

I seen that somone was trying to orginise a chat in irc but this way everyone can join with just one click, meebo rooms are brand new and are easy to use and have alot of really cool features.

see you all there!


edit: I wonder if its possible for this to become stickied and be the offical chat of zbrush central?

[Domingo Torres]

I'm hanging out in there and I have to say it's definitely one of the coolest chats I've joined. We can all share our projects or tutorial videos real time! I mean you paste a link to a youtube video or a link to your artwork and it'll pop up right in the side of the chat! Pretty cool stuff! Could become a really cool place for the community if we get some cool regulars to contribute.

I just joined in there and I like it so far!

[vend3r]

Glad you like it! we are building up quickly!

[abxy]

I'm there. Great idea.

Good use of a good tool. Join in everyone.

[The Namek]

just joined the chat, already some ppl on.

[vend3r]

I'm glad to see so many people show up! keep it coming!

[Domingo Torres]

It was nice seeing some of the people on last night. Kircho shared some good knowledge with me about Andrew Loomis. It's a little slow right now but that could be fixed if a few people join again.

Again it's a great place to share artwork and get real time responses. They were putting up youtube videos about ZB3. It's really cool, it'd be a shame to see it die out.

[lemonnado]

I tried the password but it did not work. Do you have to be an AOL member or something like that?
Lemo

[WingedOne]

lemmonado, do you have your caps lock on? ;)

[Domingo Torres]

nope you don't even need to be a meebo member

just type in zcentral all lowercase (not zbcentral) and it should work!

[elarcano]

The password worked fine :tu:

See you guys around

PS.
Lemo, Oh come out and play ;)

[vend3r]

yes lemo try again, the pass is just zcentral all lowercase

[Sebcesoir]

hats so cool!

[troy1617]

yes thank you for getting this together it is great!!!

[spaceboy412]

for those who were in the video conference here is where i left off before i went to bed. ZBrush Documen.jpg

[Sebcesoir]

We should plan some meetings

[cannedmushrooms]

agree we should but IRC seems a littlle bit of a hassle toggleing back and forth maybe we should make a msn group

[cannedmushrooms]

well msn wont work because its like a message board
well anyway lets see how this works

my contact is cannedmushrooms@comcast.net on msn come join the sculpting fun;)

[lemonnado]

If interested... I have a Teamspeak Server which I can open for us.
Does anyone have the gut's to TALK rather than type? ;)
Then let me know and I start it this long weekend.
The Z-Pub !
Cheers
Lemo

[cannedmushrooms]

I cant type anyway;)
you could start it up and see who joins post like the software needed and stuff

[spaceboy412]

i don't have a microphone, but that adobe connect was pretty cool i have to say.

[elarcano]

I can talk if you guys can stand my rusty latin accent :lol:

The chatrooms pretty cool and it has the same "niceness" as this awesome community :tu:

[Layer01]

awesome! i've been looking for some sort of zb chat community for some time now.
count me in :D
Though i'm in australia so i'll probably be up when you're all asleep lol :confused:
meebo is cool, i've used it a bit before (whats this about video chat??)

but has anyone considered starting an IRC channel on freenode? i'm on irc all the time as it is anyway..but i'll give meebo a shot ;)

[vend3r]

agree we should but IRC seems a littlle bit of a hassle toggleing back and forth maybe we should make a msn grouphey there, its not an irc room, its a meebo room come check it out

I have also setup a screen sharing confrence for the people in the chat

so we can watch each other work in zbrush teach new techniques and comment in real time its a great device for learning , teaching, and sharing

[cannedmushrooms]

lol wow
I did't even see that this was the second page so the meedo like wasn't there.
lol

[vend3r]

If interested... I have a Teamspeak Server which I can open for us.
Does anyone have the gut's to TALK rather than type? ;)
Then let me know and I start it this long weekend.
The Z-Pub !
Cheers
Lemoyes lemo that would be wonderful with the new confrence! join us in the chat and we can get this going! and thanks!

[abxy]

The results of my little screencast doodling session in the chat last night.

Untitled-2.jpg (javascript:zb_insimg('58030','Untitled-2.jpg',1,0))

It's really nice to watch each other sculpt. The chat and conference/screencast sessions are great.

Oh, that's a zphere doodle by the way.

[n-drew]

no need for creating a chan on irc, it already exists.

[elarcano]

Last night's chat was way cool!

We had Lemo, Sebcesoir, EZ and the ussual suspects.
Lots of fun :tu:

Sebs was kind enough to let us see him work in real time!
Now that was a Zclass ;)

Get in... you're missing the good stuff
Really cool people :tu:

[Carsten Lind]

Last night (sunday 27) was amazing. I learned alot about zbrush, what to do, and what not to do. People is nice and we had tons of fun.

I can only encourage you to join in :)

[Sebcesoir]

Yeah that was really fun to discuss and do realtime practice!
Hope to be able to do other shared video practice soon!


JOIN THE CHATT!!

[vend3r]

hey seb! sorry I missed your presentation last nite i had been up for about 3 days and passed out at the wrong time it seems :( so hope to see you back soon!

[Sebcesoir]

Damn too bad!

Next time lets plan something clera, so people who wants to join the chatt can come.

I could do something about gothic frames?

[Sebcesoir]

Hello!
Here's a gothic frame I did tonight in realtime during the show:


Gothic frame final.jpg

[troy1617]

yeah thank you seb that was a great demonstration of raw skill had me scratching my head a couple of times cant wait for your next demonstration you are very talented with the secret weapon zbrush has that is projection master!!!

[elarcano]

Again Sebs, thanks for the very smart lecture :tu: You're becoming a regular in the chat room... didn't you recieve your golden star in the mail ;)

[SalmonGod]

wow I regret not being in the chatroom for all this... must make more efforts to spend some time in there... it is a very cool chat program, btw

[spaceboy412]

okay heres a link for two of Sebcesoir's movies, the first is skin pores captured by lemmonado, and the second is of the gothic window, both are in one .rar file. 122mb

http://www.sendspace.com/file/z24mix

[cannedmushrooms]

lol figures i have been in there for 3 days and missed the one thing i wanted to see seb do;) gothic frames. Anyone record it.

We need a tivo!

[spaceboy412]

canned i posted the movies in the post right above yours

[Sebcesoir]

What coded did you sued for the compression?
I can't read it...

[cannedmushrooms]

OMG seb you get such clean res in maps that way
Seb fan art!
it's insane how much people can learn this way
I wish I did not work so much I would hang out every night. but summer is almost here;)
gothicarchnormal.jpg
I think I messed up some under the window with the resize mask
spacemonkey lower your res on your desktop to 1024X960 and you'll get supper clear captures when you render it out 720X480
resolution tricks with screen captures;)

[spaceboy412]

Seb i used the Techsmith compression within camtasia.
http://www.techsmith.com/download/codecs.asp

What did Ryan Kingslien show you guys?

[Sebcesoir]

Awsome you definitively got it!:D
Fun to see the video!

[lemonnado]

VOice will have to wait another day... sorry.... got sucked into a different project... :rolleyes:
Lemo

[womball]

What are you using for a chat client?

[Hamilcar]

oooh! I will have to watch Sebs movies:) here is a sculpt I did today in the adobe chat room.

[elarcano]

Hi womball, you just have to follow the link (http://www.meebo.com/room/zbrushcentralchat/) and the password's: zcentral
Then if you want you can right click on your guest name and change it ;)

Last night we were lucky to have 2 main sesions: Sebcesoir (officially a regular in there) ;) and the very generous voodoomonkey. We also had ryankinslien around and lot's of other very cool zbrushers :tu:

Day by day this is getting better :tu:

Again vend3r... great achievement!

PS.
If I could rate this thread, I would give it 5 starts!

[cannedmushrooms]

spacemonkey saw your post on skype here this will come in handy
its the settings for camtasia

WMV


then these settings

camtasia-settings.jpg

then i used 720X480


Of course mac people will hate you. Or at least snicker a little.
But wmvs rck regardless of their taunts;)

[Hamilcar]

Look forward to seeing you all again soon :D

[vend3r]

[Layer01]

awesome guys look foward to more of it :) i am working on some projects that will bring this community even closer togetherflowers, dinner and then a movie? :p

hehehe jk, looking forward to it ;)

[Yari Jindou]

kudos to you for making this happen!

[AngelJ]

Popped in a bit last night, was very sweet, will continue to pop in.. meet a lot of nice folks and always good to learn more! :tu: :tu:

[troy1617]

yeah i agree it is a great place to learn and hang out always enjoyable thanks again vend3r!!!

[the.migue1]

How the hell do you start a new thread, i need help!!!!

[joethox]

hmmm.... not many people in there... doesnt it cost like a monthly charge to use adobes connect?? so how did u all video confrence??

[Carsten Lind]

Cant be a lot all the time.. most of the americans are asleep now.

yes Acrobat Connect cost a ton each month, so right now its on trial accounts, but we are trying to figure something out.

Would be cool if this was something pixologic would back up, cause it would be really cool for the community.

[mykyl]

Be even better if it was obvious why it doesnt work for me. :) Just times out all the time. I even went as far as to shut down my firewall to see if that made a difference but nope nothing helped. grrrr. :D

Cheers

Mike R

[vend3r]

dont let the chat die, lets all meet there tonite and get this back on the road

[AngelJ]

I'll try to show up for sure

[mykyl]

Just wanted to point out that All went well tonight. Wrked perfectly. Cool stuff.

Cheers

Mike R

[Lead Balloon]

just signed on, noone around... what time are you lot normally on?

[Hamilcar]

here is a sculpt I did on tonights chat session...lots of fun as usual.

http://stickman3d.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/CAsketchbook/Zbrush/June_05_Zchat.jpg

[Layer01]

just signed on, noone around... what time are you lot normally on?Just hang aorund in the room, and people will show up, but if you leave then others like you will show up, see its empty and..leave lol :p

I just tried the room, and it says its temporarily down??
..and now its working.. :confused:

*mutters* i still think we should just use IRC, you dont get all the issues meebo seems to have...*mutters*

[RaelNorth]

I'm with Layer. Meebo seems to be pretty buggy. 3/4 times it won't even connect me to the room, so I've missed every chat so far.

We should switch to IRC, or go with something seriously easy, like Gabbly.

[Hamilcar]

just wanted to share an image I made tonight, I hosted my first adobe session and this is the result...

http://stickman3d.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/CAsketchbook/Zbrush/june_11_final.jpg

[Carsten Lind]

That is quite cool :)

Adobe Connect is really nice, sad that it has to cost so much.

[mykyl]

Its a conspiracy to make sure I have gone to bed before any nice models are created. ;) grrrrr.

Maybe next time. Would be nice to see your path to that.

Cheers

Mike R

[AngelJ]

Hamilcar- Yeah was fun watching you do that, sorry it was rather quiet but it was fun and appreciated watching you do your thing!:tu: :tu:

[Layer01]

I'm with Layer. Meebo seems to be pretty buggy. 3/4 times it won't even connect me to the room, so I've missed every chat so far.

We should switch to IRC, or go with something seriously easy, like Gabbly.I think the thing to do is to have an IRC channel going in parallel.
So we use both, and may the best man win.
Not sure which IRC channel would be best, i'll look into it, otherwise we could just make one on freenode :)

[feureau]

Is there, like a schedule on these chats? I've just been there and there was no one online.

[spaceboy412]

no there isnt, but things usually start around 630pm chicago time

[Yari Jindou]

this is a great place and highly educational, pix or ryan if you see this please ensure it does not die, it is a real tool and great experince for veterns and new alike. i know you guys are very, very busy, id hate for something like this thats been needed for such a long time go away and dissapear into obscurity.

[Sebcesoir]

The chatt is surely a great place, but wee need a lot of users to join, to ensure theres always som discuss and shows running...

[Yari Jindou]

yeah thats trueive been waiting for real time feedback like that, as many im sure esp new zbrushes, it adds a whole new dimension to the pixologic experience.

[spaceboy412]

Aurick can we get this as a sticky thread, many people who have used the chat so far have gotten help and it would be nice for more users to know about it.

[feureau]

Oh, how I wish this forum has live chat feature. (some forums out there have) Having it running over another site is a handicap. In the mean time, have it stickied?

[spaceboy412]

feureau, i've already answered you once, we are usually on in the evening U.S. time, why dont you try hanging out in the room for longer than a few minutes, do some surfing or something, maybe someone will pop in.

[Slosh]

I want to revive this thread again. We have loads of fun in chat nearly every night. Most users show up around 9:00 pm east coast U.S. time. We want more members. Come in and learn, share, teach, or just talk. We have a screen share going every night and audio chat as well. Until there is a zbrushcentral sponsored chat, this is all we have.

Just go to http://www.meebo.com/room/zbrushcentralchat/ (http://www.meebo.com/room/zbrushcentralchat/)

the password is zcentral


Make this sticky, please!!!

[Yari Jindou]

its a great learning tool we all have a blast in there, so please come its worth your while.

[SalmonGod]

I'm at work when this place is active, unfortunately... I would love to show up regularly... I'm sure I would learn a ton and destress quite a bit... keep it going so that when I get out of this crappy job, I'll be able to join you!

I got to see it once, and watching somebody else sculpting as you chat with them live is amazing

I'll also add my vote to the sticky request

[cannedmushrooms]

We never get bored !!!
We only Zbrush

goofy little critter we made while chatting. Using very un-orthadox methods of course or it would not be fun;)

dude7.gif (javascript:zb_insimg('62293','dude7.gif',1,0))

[kawmart53]

dos not work from here

no cause no blame
peace

[wolfie]

Well i poped in for about and hour last night 1am uk time and i must admit it was fun watching cannedmushrooms aka jason and EZ educating us live.
Thanks to spaceman slosh yari and the others for making me feel so welcome.
just wish it was a bit earlier for us in the uk as i would make an effort every evening,perhaps we uk resedents could meet up at a time more sutable for us but will deffinatley pop in there again to meet others maybe make it a weekend thing.

Its good to talk and educational as well :D

[micgaz]

Seconded Wolfie,

I'm new to ZBrush, and new to the forum. It would be great to have a facility like this, and other UK 'Brushers to learn with. I'd turn up for sure.
Here's hoping... :D

mick

[elarcano]

Hey guys,

The idea is to get more people hanging around from all over the world... imagine the knowlege that could be exchanged.
If you can't make it when we're around, then you guys can start something going on a time that suits you better. Like wolfie said, you guys could meet and do some zbrushing.

Take care

[Plakkie]

I thought I'd take a look at it, but no one home. How is the chatroom: still active?

[troy1617]

hey plakkie we do alot of conferencing on skype now we kind of gave up on the meebo room now because not very many people were coming in to the meebo chat very much so we figured not very many other people would show up we should really start checking it more often in case any newcomers come along that want to join.

[womball]

Are these chats still being hosted?

[vend3r]

Hello everyone, i'm sorry i havent been around for a while i have been moving alot lately but am setteld back down, i hope to get this chat started back up like it used to be it is too important to forget

see you all there!

[Hamilcar]

Hi everyone I have set up a session that is running live. Please join if you would like to watch me sculpt a concept.

adobe acrobat connect session:

http://connect.acrobat.com/livesculpting

I also set up a skypecast if you want to join:

https://skypecasts.skype.com/skypecasts/skypecast/detailed.html?id_talk=3594594&hash=1b1b5aa276f228454883

[AngelJ]

Hamilcar,

Figured i'd stop in and see what was going on but doesn't appear the skypecast is working and the acrobat room well I'm still waiting for a response from my request. Curious to see whats going on if its still going to happen.

[AngelJ]

Ahh ok its up and going, incase everyone wants to join us.. Hamilcar is sculpting away. Feel free to come on over!! :)

[spaceboy412]

well i tried to get in but i guess i was too late, maybe next time

[3DCrakin]

Great idea. I'm glad someone has the knowlege to start up a chat community like this. Saves me tons of time now on ways of trying to network with others. This chat room is better than gold considering the amount of time a person could save. If I knew you I would definately shake your hand. Thank You.

[Hamilcar]

[spaceboy412]

what would make this work well is if some groups would set up certain days and times, with specific topics to work on, and say everyone gets about an hour to show off how they'd do it etc.

[vend3r]

Hello everyone! I have been gone a while and noticed that the chat room has died, it was once a great place to meet very talented people and to learn together, lets bring that back and start schedueling some gettogethers there

looking foward to seeing you guys again!

[spaceboy412]

hey welcome back, the direct link seems to redirect to the main page, i had a hell of a time finding it again.
the correct link is :

[vend3r]
