fun with zbrush

[kokoro]

hi kdshay, wow thanks for the compliments on my dragon. makes me really happy, since painting the textures is my weakest spot... and, yes the last model uses dynamesh alot. and the mesh-insert brushes, and the curvetube brush. its really alot of fun to explore zbrush this way :-) just try it, its addictive playing with all the new features and try what they can do

and another one, same technique as previous, but started from a plane...

[Frenchy Pilou]

...Kongni?

[kokoro]

no ;-) ... but this thread of him was my inspiration.

my explorations into the abstract world seem to go more real ,,,this reminds me of jewellery, and i find it very pretty :-)

Hey

It's nice to see abstract pieces, very cool results and certainly sculptural.
I had a phase way back with ZB3R5, but with more of a 2D graphic style:

Look forward to seeing more, and I might even try getting back into these just for the sheer freedom of the process

[kokoro]

hi rawsunlight, thanks for sharing the link. those are beautiful abstracts, very inspiring for me to let loose even more... yes, doing these is pure enjoyment of the process... and that is certainly true for the result of this nights explorations... hope you enjoy

[kokoro]

hehe, someone gonna stop me, i am having too much fun with these

[kokoro]

this is inspired by a series of youtube videos (from different authors) i watched with topic "hard surface modeling"... mine is made from a dynamesh sphere, and mixes hard surface with organic shapes. i really enjoyed the creation process of this one, so i like to share several views of it :-)

[kdshay]

These are really interesting. It looks like a crazy futuristic motorcycle....without wheels...a crazy futuristic hover....cycle...thing. I like it!

[kokoro]

thanks kdshay :-) yes, i was thinking the same, motocycle, when i looked at what i had created. maybe worth to keep as a concept, and try later to create a real one..

[kokoro]

... inspired by chalkman's recent work... created and rendered in zbrush, and then post-processed in photoshop to achieve the airy feeling...

[Bas Mazur]

I'm in the mood to love those shapes! The making of it seems to be done in the same mood

[kokoro]

thanks bas, yes a lot of my mood got carried into this :-)

this work was inspired by pixolators movie on bpr rendering organic surfaces. my attempt was to try to use the info he showed in his movie... alas, i am not enough familair with zbrush yet, to be able to get that good results, just with bpr render... so, i fell back to the "traditional" method of rendering out many passes and compose in photoshop...
