More Wormism - WIP and not likely to be finished

[boozy floozie]

Apologies to Fouad B for jumping onto the worm bandwagon. I created this little fella by way of following Pixolator's Zif Morph-target and uv mapping tutorial ( go here ) (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=010970) and fancied giving the technique a spin around the block.

It may help if your having problems to learn from my mistakes when following it I've got short term memory problems too (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=4&t=000808)

S'very good for anything wiggly such as - yes worms but also branches etc.

Worth a spin if you've not already tried it.
Best effects for this technique are achieved when listening to a disco beat.

The Flooze :)

Feel free to add your own "wiggly" creations to this post.

Hi Boozzy
My tribute to the WormWorld :D
Have happy Worming!
Pilou
Ps Cameyo's Zplace Script of course :)
A simple ring3D
Texture Stripes Vrep 5 for the worms
Texture 18 for the background
This technic for colorizing (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=012916)

[boozy floozie]

And here their Nests Galleries ! Wiggly country :)
Curious world isn't it ? :)
Pilou
Ps I am always amazed how Zbrush permit to make textures in 30 second !
(normal brush + Stroke Drag rect)
And Adjustment curv lines.
Cameyo's Zplace Script again (for the initial form 10 second : a simple Ring3D + texture Stripes )
(for make something like previous post)
Et voila :rolleyes:

[Jaycephus]

Flooze, he needs some incisors for chomping down on books or apples or whatever.

:)

:tu: Great worm character.

It's funny I was looking for that tutorial awhile back, thanks for digging it up.

Here is my experiment, a simple circle with texture, assembled with the Zplace Script and animated with Digit's Widgets.

[Digits]

Here is another I made with the late great Kruzr's Hexweave Texture which I think came out pretty cool.

I also found another good use of my Zifwidget. I used the Angle and Taper function to create this mobius? of 40 or 50 zspheres and I found that straighting out the whole thing to be quite tedious. There is a function on the Angle script to change the existing zsphere to the angle selected so I used it to align all nodes to 90 degrees which straightened out all the nodes in a line in a jiffy.

Cool! Digits. :tu:

Ever feel like one of those Pink Floyd Days?

"...and the worms ate into his brain."

(I'm still trying to figure out how to avoid the texture lines/cracks that are showing up in this texture.)

[nocturnal451]

Thats one happy looking worm Boozy :)... I was messing around with ZSpheres tonight so heres my addition to the worm farm. ZSphere worms....

Still playing with this, I decided to build a better mousetrap

[matvara]

Very design Digits, bravo! :tu:

[sirquadalot]

Digits! Fantastic! keep going! :cool:

[Frenchy Pilou]

Cool Digits!
I have made some publicity of your crazzies Scripts here :cool: (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=013341)

Nice to see some more "glow" to this thread Antimorph!

This one is how it looks when you put your propeller hat on inside out

[Digits]

I wanted to see if this procedure worked on zspheres with attractors. Yep

[Frenchy Pilou]

Hi Digits
Mysterious beauty of the worming forms :cool:
"Inanimate matter (here an 2D image :))have you a soul ?" :rolleyes:
Have happy Zbrushing!
Pilou
Ps just a little question
In your previous color moebius in this thread, is it a "closed" form?(without start and end)

[Digits]

Thanks for you comments Frenchy. No, the other 'worms' in my images are not closed although you could create a moebius with zspheres with a little manual dexterity using my Zsphere Angle widget. I did make a lopsided one in a image a while back. If I had the math skills I would make a moebius script!

Here is my contribution to the worm topic. A vision of Dune from F.Herbert.
Hope you'll like it.

Hi Théo
There are some fans of this Frank on this forum :)
Very energic beast for a worm :D

Yes!!! Nice Worm! :tu: :tu:

:tu: Theo!

[Northstarr]

Theo! Fabulous! I love Dune, and this is a wonderful depiction of the desert and the Worm. Very well done indeed!

:tu: :tu: :tu: :tu:

[Théo]

Thanks Frenchy, Dmerchen, Jaycephus and Northstarr! Yeah I really like these books too. Still haven't had time to read the following (prequel actually) part from the son yet. I wish I had more time to paint on this subject. It's such a fascinating universe. Cheers! :) :)

[rtyer]

During the 60's,when Fantasia was an underground cult favorite,do you know how much money I could have made with the images on this thread.
Theo, on your first post there were joking references to Van Gogh.
With more images like this, joking will cease.
In any case, leave the ear alone.

[Théo]

Thanks Rtyer,

Glad you liked it.
Good thing I like to go to the cinema and listen to music. I'll keep my ears intact! Though ZB is starting to haunt me at night and I start having red eyes and beiing nerrrvvvous and ... shh...sshhakingg while reaching my keyboard. It's the ZBmania syndrom probably.
:D :D

[Digits]

Awesome image Theo, putting the Fremen in the foreground really gives scope to just how big Makers are, well done

I must say Boozie this thread has reinvigorated my inspiration which had been non-existant for months, thanks.

http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/uploaded_from_zbc/200312/user_image-1071191995xyu.jpg

using this method it is really the textures that count, sorry I can't remember where I got these, off cyberspace somewhere.

[Jaycephus]

If you don't have a name for that, you could call it Moebius Grasshopper.

:tu: :)

[Théo]

Thanks Digit, it gives me the will to continue doing more on the subject.

Besides, I like your abstract work on shapes.
It shows another aspect of the great potential of ZB.
Good week-end to everyone.
Théo :) :)

[Digits]

Still not out of steam

Here are things you might find in a junkyard on Tatoone

http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/uploaded_from_zbc/200312/user_image-1071280664aad.jpg

looking forward to more images of Dune Theo, so get right on it!

[Digits]

Looking further amid the junkpile were some doodahs that I always wanted.

http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/uploaded_from_zbc/200312/user_image-1071363706bxa.jpg

Testing some new features of ZifSlick which I will release soon.

Note:
that thing in the left corner was done in knotplot, which is a really cool program. If I had a bigger brain I could script that utility for zspheres.

[Frenchy Pilou]

Here the Knot Plot (http://www.cs.ubc.ca/nest/imager/contributions/scharein/KnotPlot.html) that Digits use I presume :cool:
Have happy Knoting :D
Pilou

[Reyd]

Very Nice work all, any chance of a script or tutorial on how you're doing yer worms Digits?

[Digits]

Glad you asked Reyd, actually I am working on a tutorial as we speak in conjucntion with the next release of Zif Slick. It will take me a bit of time to complete so keep your eyes peeled.
