avallon

[marcel]

:) hello! working again on merlin's book... it's the entrance of Avallon, the mystic island in the marsh...even if some parts, for the booleans on the column, have being made out of zbrush, it's very simple modelling, nearly primitives...(except the serpent's head, o course); then snapshooted, and textured by the same process than texturing in text. master: document export for each layer, in photoshop :painting and photos "cut", (mainly a little hole of water near my house), then doc import in zbrush; if necessary to do twice, to change something on one layer, it's more tedious than in texture master, because you have to apply the flat material by the simple brush, to maintain the colors... rendered in z brush, after "enhanced" the geometry by zadd et zsub material, directly on the textured layer, outlining a big stone for example... amitiés M. http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/uploaded_from_zbc/200307/user_image-1057339320onx.jpg

i forgot: the reflection is add after, in photoshop ; i didn't try in z brush: is it posible? (oh, and why some letters of the post change in the little face, smiling or "tonguing"?)

[HelgaPataki]

marcel:

you should change photoshop :painting
to
photoshop: painting

I assume you mean to show which part done in text. master: (document export for each layer)
and
photoshop: (painting and photos "cut")

:painting = :p ainting

Also If you click option box "Disable smilies in this post." You can write :painting

looks great marcel , so the swamp is made by the use of a foto again ? I'm always amazed how you manage to implement it seamlessly into a scene.

the only critique I have would be that the image is a bit on the small side and some detail , like the snake heads is lost a bit. :(

[marcel]

:) thank you the namek; i'm not sure of what you mean by seamlessly: when you export the document -layer, you open it in photoshop (or similar); now, if you want to use a photo, you cut a part of the foto, drag it in the z document, and begin to play,; it 's not a texture applied via the texture process; it's directly, that allows a very very precise texturing...( maybe if you have the same idea of my explanation, forget that add ;) friendly m.

[marcel]

:confused: and sorry helga: what do you mean: if i don't want the little gremlins, if don't use the letter p? hope that this process is not going to get more letters, i(t's going to become difficult to write! ;)

[HelgaPataki]

When you accidentally put the symbol ":" in front of "painting" you will get the face instead of a "p"

The symbol ":" should have been directly behind "photoshop" to give you
"photoshop: painting ...et cetera"

[The Namek]

another question , you seem to be an ace at texturing , do you have some good links where you can get High Quality Textures ?

Like the marble and the bricks textures.

There are several ways to do reflections in ZBrush. Here are some possibilities:

One (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=000318)
Two (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=001422)
Three (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=001425)
Four (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=001234)

Hi The Namek
Try this :) (http://textures.forrest.cz/)

Hi Marcel
The column foot seem too clean :)
A little mouldy should be necessary :)
A curious straight line green on the right ?
And perspective of brick between the 2 column on the left seems inverse :)
Is it the "Table ronde" at the bottom stair ?
because there are 12 little pillars :D

Have fun Saga making :cool:
Pilou

[marcel]

eh fp, here is the explanation, of the stones and the green lines... but it's anyway a problem :( http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/uploaded_from_zbc/200307/user_image-1057348654xsw.jpg

[marcel]

fp comment on transmet un "link"; j'en ai un curieux pour les textures...

[The Namek]

Marcel , tu peux copier le http://.... directement , ca devient un link apres que tu appuies le button "add reply"

Le dernier image , c'est fait dans Zbrush ? , parce'que ca ne resemble pas a un "render" en zbrush.

[marcel]

http://perso.club-internet.fr/lemog/ this site seems to me good, the namek, for textures wall, wood and so on... an another link is:www.davegh.com It's if I understand well a sad story fot this artist, but i have been really interested, as i use very seldom textures seamless in texturing classical process,by the way he paint these textures... oh, and no, the second pict is a rhino render of the mesh...

[The Namek]

merci pour les links , le deuxieme est magnifique.

[Frenchy Pilou]

Hi the Namek
Le lien qui tue pour les textures et le reste :) Ahhhhh this link! (http://www.3dlinks.com/) :D

So beutiful.I like a lot.
Congratulations

[Curious]

Absolutely amazing. I'm continually awed by the talent in this forum. I'm still banging my head against the interface. I can't wait to get my brain around it so I can make something remotely as cool as this stuff.

[marcel]

:) ok, after the hard critics of the namek and frenchy pilou, who has devoted nhis life to destroy this picture, i've changed the geometry of the recessing walls, wich were confused... (mais le moulding, jamais! j'ai plus le temps)... I've also created a little guest, who just arrive at the pontoon... amitiés M. http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/uploaded_from_zbc/200307/user_image-1057423827iqt.jpg

[Frenchy Pilou]

Wouchhhhhh !
Perfect :cool:
Rien à dire :D
Pilou

[marcel]

a little word on modelling: you see the zsphere base, very simple... the "skin" between fingers has been added after an alpha make 3d, of 1 value depth, and the definitive hand is a plymesh from multimarkers... http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/uploaded_from_zbc/200307/user_image-1057424224vep.jpg

[The Namek]

looks great. I really like the latest image.
Do you use maximum resolution on your unified skins ? Cause your models always look very detailed. I've tried to model with unified skinning a few times lately but I end up working with zbrush waiting , acting slow and reclaiming memory the whole time.
But that's probably my 256 ram complaining :p

[RAMSESIIV]

it looks wonderful as usual... :eek:

[marcel]

the namek, super... great use of the textures... mais t'as changé l'image...? modellé dans z? ...

[andreseloy]

Maravilloso¡¡¡ Fantastico¡¡¡
Congratulations.

[Frenchy Pilou]

Hi The Namek
Maybe a little full electricity :D
The previous was more mysterious :cool:
Pilou

[andreseloy]

Is possible to know how you reach those effect in your wonderful work?
Thanks in advance

I like a lot this type of natural image (of course not reference to the hand that is very impressive¡¡he).
Congratulations¡¡

[CDEdwards]

Awesome! I particularly like the hand coming out of the water. Very nicely done. :)
