love Z2

[Polaris30]

the materials in Z2 are way too cool!




this guy started out as Zspheres... I wanted to make a buhdda, but the new tools got me sidetracked doodleing...

I love Z2!!!

Thanks for looking

LOL! Roller buddha! I like that

he new material system just rocks... I am totaly going to over use the cavity shaders

I am experementing on makeing Jade and Old carved Ivory... I am tired now, I am going to start again tomarrow....


Here is a minitor I whipped up... he started as a Zsphere model, then an adaptive mesh... then subdevided a bunch of times... I messed up and did not mask enough... you can see the chest has some gridlike markings... wich I think could be tweaked into another effect in the furture maby

here is my atttempt at carved jade

I did this model in 1 1/2 hours



let me know how you all like it

Very cool Jaycephus !

Thankyou... that is Why I love this forum people are always shareing

[Northstarr]

excellent experimentation results! I agree Z2 is way good! Especially the materials - It is hard to not get sidetracked isn't it???

[Polaris30]

yea verry hard not to get sidetracked... I am going to make a dragon next... when I come back it will probably be a unicorn or something completely diffrent... this is a doodlers paradise!!!

Z2 ROCKS!!

I realy want to say Kudos for the front and back markings oon the Zspheres! Pixologic has done alot of realy realy cool stuff!

all my Z2 dreams are comeing true, and there is a suprise around every corner!

Cheers Northstarr, and everyone else thanks for looking at my work

[Polaris30]

wow!




I am haveing soo much FUN! this is close to a dragon LOL!!! maby I should try to make a cow... I bet I get a cool monster or something...

the above is all modeled and rendered in Z2... the lame color effects around edge is made in PSP


I am going to go and try again to stay on task.. all the new tools are sooo COOL!

maby I play with fiber shader next

[Codexus]

Cool! You seem to have a lot of fun with ZB2.

[Polaris30]

Yes Codexus ,

ZB2 is my new favorite toy!!! and soon as I go back to work it is going to be my most powerful tool the materials are alot of fun... I was paying more attension to the modeling part with this model...next one I am goiong to spend more time on the shader... perhaps I am going to look at refrence photos... I seem to be missing something... in jade it seems like there is a milky white veins going thru it... maby next model I will experement with reflection, and some kind of greenish white vein material... I dunno, every time I play with it I get sidetracked...

I am realy luck I have 2 weeks off work :P I am going to learn as much as possible... I am also playing with a ut2004 map... but I am on hold untill I go thru some more fun zbrush tutorials...


LOL with the new fiber shader, any model can be turned into a Chia pet instantly LOL!

[Polaris30]

LOL,

He reminds me of this cartoon charictor!!!

in the prefrences pallett there is a way to make so you can realy subdevide ...

I made him over 4,000,000 polys and painted an alpha on the wings...

I am more happy with this Jade... more milky looking... I added noise , and a reflection

hope you all like it think I am going to make a neat vase next

[Ron Harris]

looking good Pol...this would make for a kewl little jade elephant too.....you have a great material and render there...
