ZSPHERE WING EXAMPLES + EXPLANATION

[Mr Z]

Hello everyone,

I've been playing around with Zspheres all day and I'm seriously enjoying v1.51, for all the people who dont have 1.51, I suggest you get it "you have no idea what you're missing" :D

Anyway, to start with, here are two examples or wings made totally with Zspheres and then skinned, no extra modelling was done here, only Zspheres.

The point of these examples are:

you can get many different wing effects from the "MEMBRANE CURVATIVE & INTERSECTION RESOLUTION" sliders.

Play around with those two sliders guys and you'll be amazed!

I noticed that a few people here who want to create wings for anything, just model the basic model and take it into a third party app and create the wings there, this is not needed, since those sliders do the job quite well! :)

Yeah yeah, so the guru's know this already, once again, this is for the newbies who completely forget about those two very important sliders!

Hope this will help someone,

- Shane ;)

Yepp, I see what you mean :)
Definitly another good way to model wings. But as I plan to bring the model to Lightwave for animation I had to clean up the mesh a bit (took me about 2 hours). But the mesh you get from ZSpheres is really not bad!
