Action Hero at the Gnomon Gallery

Super things are happening on June 6, 2009 at 7:00 PM.

This just in! Reports are coming in from Hollywood, CA for that super heroes and villains alike are being spotted at the Gnomon Gallery on Cahuenga Blvd. Somehow, these terrific creations from the Action Hero Contest (http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/showthread.php?t=68431) (http://showthread.php?t=68431) have escaped the confines of ZBC. Over a dozen 2D prints will be on display, along with six 3D figures.

Could this be the result of a bizarre experiment by Offload Studios? Could NextEngine, who will be demonstrating one of their scanners be involved? Will Axiotron's Modbooks make it possible for the public to create new heroes to fight off this invasion into the real world?

What is certain is that several artists from the contest will be on hand to demonstrate some of their ZBrush super powers. They include*:

Martin Beyer
John Cherevka
Cameron Farn
Konrad Kielczykowski
Chris Moffitt

The show begins at 7:00 PM on Saturday, June 6.

If you're going to be in the Los Angeles area that day, make sure to schedule a trip to the Gnomon Gallery for this unique event. It's a true first for ZBrushCentral, and we expect it to be an exciting evening.

Happy ZBrushing!


*List of attending artists is subject to change.

[GregStrangis]

Wow! Sounds so wicked! Would love to go but won't be down to Hollywood until the end of June for class =/. Hopefully you guys will do more events in the near future! Congrats again to all the winners and the awesome work that was done :tu:

[SolidSnakexxx]

This is going to be great... I hope by then I'd have time fly over and see with my own eyes. :tu::tu:

[alexleia]

i will be there and take some pictures and post here!

Alex Oliver

[rasmusW]

Alex Olivercool man. can't wait to see. unfortunately i can't make it myself.

[brettSinclair]

Oh very nice. Congrats to all that got into the gallery. I look forward to seeing the photos Alex :)

[dustbin1_uk]

Wow! Nice! But yet again, living here in the UK I'm just going to have to miss it. :cry:

[pitchepuck]

I have to show my z-brush super powers? :lol: I don´t have any :rolleyes:

this will be fun!

cu guys on 6.6. !

martin

[bryzol]

I'm shure you have some great z-powers pitchepuck. I will watch it with pleasure, and yes this will be fun! I just can't wait!
Solid you have to come so our heros can meet at last!!

[Captain Sensible]

Wow... can't believe this is still so alive. Shame I can't go and see this. It would be awesome! My only regret is that there were many more entries that deserved the same exposure and recognition :rolleyes:

[Totyo]

Why Bordeaux is so far from LA?.. :mad:

[maxinkuk]

I completely agree with Captain, thanks for bringing this up, great artworks and all to be celebrated but, but... there are no strict criteria that Pixologic can claim for either excluding or including artworks and to those like me that have been working hard and have done a decent showing this seems very unfair.
You either select that handful of impeccable artworks and exclude all the rest or you include all those that have some decent merit, or even all those that completed the competition, to include only some according to an arbitrary fancy and call it the best is not a thoughtful way to go.
Apologies for being so blunt but I hope you appreciate that I spoke my mind.

[Moni-Poroni]

That sounds so cool! I´m sure you´ll have a lot of FUN!
I´m looking forward to seeing the pictures! :)

[Etcher]

Way to go Pixologic! :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: !

[threetails]

This is going to be cool, im glad to have been invited down.
I will be bringing a full size 2D print to give away, and am looking forward to meeting with, and talking to everyone. I will be revealing 3 new models that are in progress for a series of personal work., be the first to see them!, they won't be up on zbc until later in june.

take care, and thanks to pixologic, the sponsors, and all the participants. hope to see all of you there.

[KrakenCMT]

I hope there's good coverage of the event as I won't be able to make it due to other commitments. But the lineup of attending artists ensure that it will be a great event. I really hope to see some nice large photos posted here of everything else that is there.

[chindian]

Awesome man! Thanks so much for the opportunity - wish I could make it to see it in person... but it's kind of a far trip from Trinidad... haha
Looking forward to seeing the pictures though! (Alex - thanks for offering to post up pics!) :tu:

[threetails]

Witiko-Print-for-lucky-guest sml.jpg

[Etcher]

Hey Cam! That print looks awesome! What is the size and resolution of the PSD? I'm just curious, cause, printed at that size, it has to be huge. Too bad LA is out of reach for me... :cry: . Wish I could be there... . Is that you holding the print?

[threetails]

that print is a ruff 24" x 60" 86 meg file 3500 x 8650 @ 144 pixels/inch. and yep those are my hands, my wife had me crop myself out until i learn to dress better.

[Etcher]

Thanks for the file size info Cam!

Quote:"my wife had me crop myself out until I learn to dress better" Come on! Wrinkly shirt and pants all come with a hard days work! :) . (altough I must admit that I'm glad my wife keeps an eye on my clothing combinations too...).

[dustbin1_uk]

looks freakin awesome!!!!!

[Point]

Wow that sounds so cool I wish I could go too. You guys have all the really cool stuff.

[Buckie]

We need a ZB World Tour, I owe Aurick a beer or 2...

[Captain Sensible]

Hey Cam
Great drawings! I can see how Witiko came to be such a wonderful sculpt. I'm gradually starting to draw more and more again and starting life drawing classes next week. Very nice stuff! :D

[Point]

Great vid thankyou for sharing your work book with us, I don't know how you make such amazing work as Witko from that little desk area. The Print looks very cool in that poster format.

[SolidSnakexxx]

Wow, threetails thank you so much for sharing! Wonderful print out..in that long format!!!

[roger]

I would like to thank both Pixologic and the Gnomon Gallery for a great night!
It was great meeting and talking with Cameron Farn and John Cherevka!

All the prints and 3d print-outs looked GREAT! :tu: :tu:

[dustbin1_uk]

Be gentle?? No way! You don't need us to be gentle dude!

You just need to be careful of people like me who are bright green with envy!! ;)

Your sketches look amazing! and your office looks almost as cramped as mine! LOL!

Honestly, keep up the great creations man!

Peace,

Mark

[SolidSnakexxx]

[Aumakua]

Scary-naughty ! hehe, great one ;)

[sadicus]

...i found a new fetish!

That looks great.

How did you get the constant "rough" or grain texture? Is it a result of the render?

[Jason Belec]

Sweet man! ;)

[Dman3d]

Gratz, turned out awesome. I cant wait to do a print one day.


-d

[Moni-Poroni]

@threetails: Thanks for the video! Always cool to see where the magic happens. :)

@ Yong: Thanks for posting the pics on facebook! I´m at home now and l´ll check them out again. Hope to see more soon! :)

@bryzol: Awesome print of Sting Lady! Congrats! Great news -- especially for Mantis Man! ;)

@sadicus: That´s a 3D print. ;) But btw the rendered pics are awesome, too.

[MonteCristo]

Bryzol, she looks fantastic! Nice work as always mate. Big thumbs up!

[scottleroc]

I love it and the grain adds a bit of extra character. It must be so nice to see her in real 3D ;)

[OlirO]

whoua ! the 3d print is amazing :tu:
Glad to see she becomes reality !
One of my favorite entry in the contest hero !

[maxinkuk]

Bryzol it's awesome, just as the digital sculpt. I agree on the grain being quite an asset, nice feel.

This is very good for all those invited to take part. I'm very envious.

[tobbeo]

Awesome! I love 3D printed work. They did a great job on the colors too.

[Etcher]

Threetails: cameron, that was a super video! Great to put a face/person to the art! Great/informative vid about you and your worx. Thanks for posting Cameron! :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: !

Thanx for posting guys, you rock!

[Captain Sensible]

The show was amazing experience. This is great that now when I read your post guys I can see your faces :) Maybe next time the show in french Pixologic office, so more us from Europe could come :idea:

Martin, I can remind you the name of the girl if you want ;) I was quite sober yet :cool: (lucky you're still in L.A.)
I,ve seen the book today too Food, graet surprise for me too!
Hey guys from Pixologic - thanks again! :tu:

[canndis]

@threetails thanks for the video and the pics ,been waiting for long :D

[ambient-whisper]

wicked. what service was used for the 3d printing for these? im curious at what those statues would cost to have made.

EDIT: err nevermind. its Offload Studios right?!

[cmoffitt]

Well crap, I could have sworn I took more pictures. :mad: Ah well, looks like Cameron made up for it. :D Great pics and footage, Cam! Looks like you got the whole show!

So, here's my 4 pics that I managed to take. I thought for sure I had Furio's Gra'Nox in the Mantis shot :confused: :

It was great meeting you Konrad, Cameron, Martin, John and Zeke! Thanks again to everyone at Pixologic. You guys rock!

It amazing to actually see ones art come to life.

P.S. Please if possible include the name

[zeo77]

Wow!!! Great 3D printed work!!! I love it. :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu:

[Sebcesoir]

Amazing:tu::tu::tu::tu:

[Morph Division]

amaZing exhibition, all the models look great in the round.
:tu:

[Bryan Wynia]

Great stuff guys. Sad I missed it.

[mix_mash]

I bet that the camera doesn't do these 3d prints justice. The flash washes out the colours and details.
I actually can't wait to start my own 3d print project when I get the ZB4 upgrade and 3d coat in a few months. I might make my dominance war attempt as my first print (when I get it finished, that is).

Cheers,
Paul

[rasmusW]

wow guys!

i just envy you guys who attended more and more.
wow! those prints looks good.
cameron, HUUUGE thanks for filming all of the prints, both 2d and 3d.
-can't help doing a little giggle, when seeing arctic there on the wall.

once more, good work all. and thanks to pixologic and gnomon for putting this together.

-anyone, anymore pics? ;)

-r

[dustbin1_uk]

Unnnnggh!! That all looks amazing!! some days I hate being in the UK instead of The States. NOTHING HAPPENS HERE!!! LOL :rolleyes:

Those pics taken of the even look great, but I would love to have seen the show first hand.

Congrats to all the entries that made it there.

Awesome work!

Bright green with envy. :D:tu:

[scottleroc]

these prints are amazing guys. Really great to see them out of the virtual world and into the real world. Beautiful work.

I totally agree with dustbin1_uk. Nothing happens outside the US. The games made in the US and Canada are always the best and the film work is always greater. Not to mention the schooling for students of CG. It's a good place to be if you love CG

[Captain Sensible]

Thanks for posting more pics guys. Big thanks to Cameron for the video too! The 3D prints turned out really well :tu:

[SolidSnakexxx]

Wow....I'm so happy to see more images.... May I post them in my FB to show my FB friends?

rasmusW: Thanks, man...I wish I could be there :)

bryzol, She's hot.......All right can Mantis Man...wed her now? :D

- FoOD -:
Yours' awesome, mate.

chindian:
Yeah, got your tag....Excellent work, chindian.

Moni-Poroni:
:D Thank you Moni

Etcher:
Glad you enjoy the pics...credits all go to my firends in LA who are so kind to be there instead of me.

Captain Sensible:
You are very welcome, mate.

KrakenCMT:
Thank you KrakenCMT, your work by itself is a real inspiration!

threetails:
Thank you soooo much for the add. pics.

[SolidSnakexxx]

Also ...cmoffitt... that pose of yours next to my Mantis Man is such an honor for me!!!! :o

[Etcher]

Cameron and Chris, thanks for posting the video and the extra pics! Maybe the next best thing for those who couldn't be there! The prints and sculpts ooze quality and power (seriously guys, my heart rate went up when I saw the gallery walkthrough vid!)! I was suprised by the big size of the 3d prints and the beautifyl coloring -awesome! :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: !

[zeke3d]

the prinouts and prints came out really well. a very nice show all around, the organizers and artists did an amazing job. same time next year eh?

[gelfling status]

congrats guys!

[chindian]

Wow - the prints look superb!! I want one!! haha.
Thanks again guys for posting pics up!!! SolidSnake - the print of mantis man looks great! And so does hedgehog & Dr. Root... really kool how much detail they got in there and the full colour print is awesome!

:D

[Jsnyder]

Hey Everyone!

I'm one of the several artists at Offload Studios that worked on all those prints!
Just wanted to say glad everyone likes the prints and all the artists are happy! Sad I couldn't make it down but to many things up here on the go!

Cheers!

[SolidSnakexxx]

Jsnyder, thank you so much.....Thank you Offload Studio for making the models a reality :tu: :tu:

chindian, thanks mate....looking forward to your next model too :D

[fluxist8070]

Threetails! Thanks for the video. I really wish I could have made it to the reception! All of the prints look fantastic. It looks like it was a great exhibit!
Congrats to All!

[Point]

Wow those prints look so cool in the round, thanks to Chris and Cameron and everyone who took part, it was awsome to be able to see the work that was on show, I did'nt realise there were so many characters made into posters.

[Moni-Poroni]

@ threetails: Thank you very much for the video! :tu: :)

@ cmoffit: Thank you very much for the pics! :tu: :)

Congrats to all -- all 3D prints look fantastic! And I bet you all had a lot of fun!
Next time there should be a live broadcast of the full event.:)
And next time I haaave to be there!
Seeing the video and all the cool pics is such a torment!

[gabo1991]

Hey Team

Have you checked out the new Blog. There will be more info there when it is available. As soon as cgchannel is done with the interviews they did with the artists I will be putting a link there. Thank you to every contestant in the Action Hero Contest. I can not wait to start the next one. :)

Talk to everyone later.

Paul
