Congratulations to <font color=#FFffff size=3> Muvlo </font> for posting his <font color=#FFa000 size=2>1,000</font>th message here at ZBrushCentral!
</font>

<font color=#FFffff>
Note: Below is a new 1000th post format. The interview-format will allow us to learn more about the new members of the 1,000-posts club and we hope that you’ll find this new format beneficial and enjoyable.

<font color=#ffffff size=3> Interview With Muvlo</font>

<font color=#ffa000 > Tell us about yourself…</font>

<font color=#c0c0c0 > Where do you live?</font>
Arrakis... Oops, no, Earth, United States.

<font color=#c0c0c0 > What do you do for work?</font>
Still a student at this time!

<font color=#c0c0c0 > What do you do for fun? (besides ZBrushing ;))</font>
Other art, love to read, procrastinate on various projects, etc.

<font color=#c0c0c0 > How old do you tell people you are?</font>
"Seven and a half million years???" "I said it would take a little time."

<font color=#c0c0c0 > What would you like to say on this momentous occasion?</font>
I need only open ChapterHouse: Dune. "It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."


<font color=#ffa000 > Tell us about your work with ZBrush… </font>

<font color=#c0c0c0 > What first attracted you to ZBrush?</font>
Seeing other people doing the fantastic work in it! I could never figure out how they did it, but eventually after reading a lot on ZAcademy it became clear...

<font color=#c0c0c0 > What's your favorite ZBrush feature or tool? </font>
ZScripts!!!

<font color=#c0c0c0 > What's your favorite thing about working with ZBrush?</font>
It is so smooth and easy to use and fun!

<font color=#c0c0c0 > What other software do you use, if any?</font>
Corel Photo-Paint, Terragen, Windows... ;)

<font color=#c0c0c0 > What other (non-digital) media do you work in, if any?</font>
Paint, Pencil, Pen, Clay

<font color=#c0c0c0 > What's your favorite genre, theme, or style of artwork?</font>
Uh-oh, can't think of an answer to that one...

<font color=#c0c0c0 > What are your main sources of inspiration?</font>
Weather. Rainy weather especially. Gives me a good paint-a-Zee-Pic mood.

<font color=#c0c0c0 > What artists have influenced you? (ZBrush and/or non-ZBrush)</font>
I'm one of those people who looks at just about every picture I see and think "Wow that's neat!", so I could not list all the artists who've inspired me. :)

<font color=#c0c0c0 > When you create something in ZBrush, how much do you plan in advance, and how much do you let it take shape while you create?</font>
Most of the time I have only an idea as detailed as "Make a head model", or "Paint a ZScape".

<font color=#c0c0c0 > What are the most important elements in creating a really compelling image? </font>
To me, the lighting/colors can create strong moods in an image with even the simplest objects.

<font color=#c0c0c0 > What do you hope to convey most in your artwork? </font>
Mood. I want someone to see an image and think... "Ah, summer picnic", or "Life smells like a rotten egg", etc.

<font color=#c0c0c0 > What is/are your favorite tip(s) for ZBrush newbies? </font>
A) No you can't reselect it. ;)
B) Keep at it. In a week, or a month, you and ZBrush will be creating awesome stuff!

<font color=#ffa000 > Tell us about your favorite ZBrush creation… </font>

<font color=#c0c0c0> Favorite image? </font>Music (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=003383)
<font color=#c0c0c0 > Tell us about this image… </font> Though it is still unfinished, this project has been a great modeling + final render experience for me. I wanted individual parts to look good alone, and using a combination of materials, lighting, fog, and post-render color adjustments I think I achieved it. :)

<font color=#c0c0c0> Favorite ZScript? </font>MazeGame (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=003507)
<font color=#c0c0c0 > Tell us about this ZScript… </font> I just like this one because here I really began seeing, "Yes, ZScripts can potentially control the world!"


<font color=#ffa000 > Share with us a few more facts about yourself…</font>

<font color=#c0c0c0 > What's your favorite band, singer, or style of music?</font>
MIDI music is the best!

<font color=#c0c0c0 > What's your favorite TV show, movie, actor or director?</font>
Star Trek the Original Series and Next Generation. Also Dark Shadows (original, not miniseries) and MASH. And the X-Files.

<font color=#c0c0c0 > What's your favorite book, magazine or author?</font>
Frank Herbert!

<font color=#c0c0c0 > What's your favorite snack food?</font>
Food...?, oh yeah, that stuff. Multigrain Cheerios.

<font color=#c0c0c0 > What's a good motto to live by?</font>
"Early to bed and Early to rise, makes a man stupid and blind in the eyes."

<font color=#c0c0c0 > What's your favorite thing about participating in ZBrushCentral?</font>
The members are all great!

<font color=#c0c0c0 > If the members of ZBrushCentral awarded you a trophy, it would probably Be for "Best / Most _______" </font>
Most like a blue-eyed bunny rabbit.


<font color=#ffa000 > Finally, write a question we haven't asked, and answer it.
The next 1,000th-message poster will be asked your question…</font>

<font color=#c0c0c0 > How many times have you drawn the ZBrush logo in a graphing calculator?</font>
Twice.


:b3:We thank Muvlo for his contribution to the ZBrush community and for taking the time to answer the above questions.
To signify 1,000 messages, the dots beneath his name (each represents 100 posts) have been replaced with a star.

Heartest congratulations. I have enjoyed your frank opinions and advice since becoming a member of this forum. I wish you well, and hope that you will continue to advice, share and inspire, so that both new and old members will benifit from your knowledge and experience of this software we all love and affectionally refer to as the Zee.

You don't look a day over 762.

Congratulations Muvlo!!!

But MultiGrain Cheerios????

:p

;)

Hope you are here for another 1000.

First, my big thanks to Pixologic, who as I recall actually made/are making the most brilliant software ever!!! :)

And second, my equally big thanks to all the other 1501 members on this forum. You make it the best place in the world to be! :)

P.S. Do you have something against Cheerios? Cheerios are brilliant! When I come home after a long day of mining on Rura Pente -the alien's graveyard-, the first thing to be done is: Eat Cheerios! The .5 thing to do is start ZBrush up, so it'll be warmed up for me when the Cheerios have been eaten.
