... it's not the first time that it lives again!
There were some resurrections in the past
And that surprising always Cali
Her "line" is a little simple masterpiece rolleyes:
Monster is alive!

What a great thread this is. Excellent for learning about ZB's capabilities too.

The picture & pose reminded me of a classic film...

Cali at Tiffany's

And here are are a few more 'natural media' efforts... (all pure ZBrush)

[Frenchy Pilou]

What a charming cuty series
Your classical movie as italian films (Antonioni, Fellini) or all old american
Your B&W can be also Audrey Hepburn

Great stuff guys.

We need to start a Paint Brush Archive for all these wonder brush styles on this thread. Maybe like the Texture and Alpha palettes in other threads.
I did a search here and at the Wiki but did not find any collections of paint brushes.
So I was thinking we should start one.

Any ideas?

The Wiki resources is made for that!

marcus_civis...that's a great serie ..i like the etching effect, made with metal shader, i believe ? The washed ink looks great too !
....Did you found a cure for the "negative" alpha inprint in bristle mode !!

Frenchy,
this thread has been a great idea-- thanks!

marcus_civis,
I'm really enjoying jantim's explosion of variety, and you show us something very different. Inspiring effects!

BTW, your impasto [cali_oil.jpg] reminds me of the famous portraits rendered as fruits and vegetables... Cali shown from peas, peanuts, berries and bean dip!

Thanks for all the inspiration, guys! Watching this forum is a powerful multiplier... this newbie appreciates the generosity here.

Thanks for the comments.

Frenchy,
Yes, the nonpareil Audrey is my inspiration.

jantim,
The etching effect is simply an adjusted fiber material. I've used the depth brush and a variety of custom '3D' brushes, no 'bristle mode' so I don't get the negative alpha problem.

Davinci,
That's a fun idea!

Cheers,

[jantim]

to make a naturel media effect of pen and watercolor i used a metalshader and plain brush !



marcus_civis....have you tried to simulate pastel ?...perhaps with a Fiberbrush setting !

Number 25 : research graphic
PS
Are you painting drawing at the "double" of the 500*500 and reduce it after?

[marcus_civis]

jantim,

I've tried chalk. Again this is a 3D brush - the Spherinder using a freehand stroke and reducing the spacing, Zadd off. No material necessary just use RGB. The background is a 'paper' alpha I created which gives the brush some pixols to react to. If you adjust the Imbed slider in the Draw palette you get the brush skimming the surface, just like chalk.

[Frenchy Pilou]

Very inventive technic
Maybe as someone said above the Wiki here should be archive a data base of some Brushes regulates

[marcus_civis]

Frenchy,

That's a good idea, I shall see if I can add something. I also have in mind to do a zscript because some options are much simplified by a little scripting.



ZB's ability to use a background of your own making is very creative.
