ARRRRGGGGHHH nobody give me a gun!

Threw this one together.....it's a roughie. I figured it may be useful to some people, as it gives some idea of modelling.

BUT.......the script is useless. It falls apart 2 mins into recording.

Pix I have included the script here if you wish to see what has happened to it.

Anyone else interested in helping me get these scripts right, please don't hesitate.

Thanks......

The finished script should look like this...

THE OFFENDING SCRIPT.....

Ed! This is so cool!

I CAN'T think of the guy it looks like (ARGH!) I watched his show when I was a little girl. He'd walk out into his own silouette, and introduce a mystery/murder/scarey episode...STONECUTTER! I KNOW you know who I'm trying to say....ACK!

I should know the name!

It looks JUST like him! This is GREAT! :tu:

Hi Kathy,

Thanks for comments.

I did have Alfred Hitch**** in my minds eye as I was modelling.......that is all I could remember of him. Profile probably the closest, but I think he had a longer face and different nose.

Ps.....great Gurglebladder.

you said BUT.......the script is useless. It falls apart 2 mins into recording.
Only thing i can think of messing that script up is
1:Hdivide Vdivide set to high making the script Lag and can't perform the right action exsample would be as it turning and you pick another action like zsub it still turning after you click zsub and giving a incorrect function
thats just a Guess.
2: by any chance did you store CONFIG on some thing else maybe some thing needs to be off which might be on.
i would try RESTORE CONFIG and restart the program and try my Hdivide and Vdivide lower to see what happens.
it would be a good idea to start with the start_model<in zscript
good pic check it and see what it looks like as a ZLT tool

Way to go!!This is really great!

Pat yourself on the back!!! :tu: :tu:

[ed_the_atom]

Thanks EZ.....

I tried a model at default h&v divide settings.........it worked. I too was wondering about model lag time, but the system here has 380meg odd of ram...and 32meg graphic card.....no lag is apparent.

I shall look into your other suggestions as well, however I can not model at a lower polygon count than the maximum.....there is no way to create detail, and I don't like dividing the mesh....slows system and creates problems for me and modelling.

Hi william........thanks for your kind comments.

I have a vague memory of what Alfred H. looked like-the one thing you nailed perfectly are his lips-I think his eyes might have been smaller and I don't have a clue as to what his nose looked like.The details in your heads are part of what makes them so outstanding.

[Stonecutter]

Yes, Kat...Of course I knew, but everybody here types too fast! :mad:
Sweet modelling man, script or no script!
Totally believable. A little more jowly, a smaller round-ended nose, and little piggie eyes, and you nail that dude!
Great work!
:tu: :tu: :tu: :cool: :D :cool: :tu: :tu: :tu:

[cneofotistos]

great likeness indeed. the nose is perfectly hitch****ean, especially from the side. trust me on this, one of the few posters he's let himself to be dragged into ( =D ) is hanging beside my bed...

I really am sorry, my friend, but sript corrections are the privilege and honour of Pixolator, Aurick and Kruzr... it's frankly too much pain to fix them. better to redo them from start - I know it's a bummer.

Accidental or deliberate, either way it's a brilliant image :cool:

[aurick]

I'll try rummaging through the script tomorrow to see if I can track down what's happening. It's sometimes like looking for a needle in a haystack, but I'll give it my best.

It's a wonderful head, and the picture that you created from him is really impressive. I like it a lot!

[drjjwow]

hey ed. it good to see you back in the modeling biz again.. thanks for this model.. ill try to view the script as soon as i can and try to help you with it if i can... thanks again talk to you later

[banez]

this might help on anyone trying to pin point it out.
first i would delete this out of the script it lag me and this will speed it up.
[ISet,TOOL:MODIFIERS:INITIALIZE:HDivide,128]
[ISet,TOOL:MODIFIERS:INITIALIZE:HDivide,512]
[ISet,TOOL:MODIFIERS:INITIALIZE:VDivide,256]

then thing start to run a little UN smooth when he gets here
[ISet,PREFERENCES:MOUSE AVG,8]
might need to set that back to 1 i dunno.

i notice alot of pulling with Zsub on i dunno if that had any thing to do with it and the sphere was pulled on the canvas and the top half was off far as i can see.

you might run that script one more time and when YOU think it messes up hit ESC and post the TXT script since you know what part went wrong.
it looked like the sphere didnt want to face up and down but side ways after you did this
[ISet,PREFERENCES:MOUSE AVG,8]
good luck LOL
by any chance was you using any Zscript before you made this ?
or maybe messed up a previous one you was working on and hit new document?
Then made your head Zscript.
