Ha, your the best my friend. Now, that's cool. I am going to give your technique a 'whirl'. Man, you make it look so easy. I try (almost) the same thing when it comes to rims i.e. using masks etc, but, when I use the primitive cylinder, I deform the INSIDE of the cylinder to get the area for the spokes and lug nuts. I DO NOT initialize it to open the center like you do, and this is what I am digging . I never thought of doing that. So, to me, your method is more 'TRUE' to making a rim than mine. Thanks a million Gary... more please-

Oh, the break down of your engine is insane... everything so perfect! Your quickly on your way to becoming the INSERT BRUSH MASTER!!

Gary, attached is how I make my rims. Hope you like.

**Dragon** · 01-14-12

No prob. Hope your working on something real neat (as I am sure you are).

not sure how far i will take this- some parts just bucks for now - good practice tho thought would share the process thnx for watching

Am I the only one, or am I really enjoying all this?

I have said it once, I have said many a times, I love all the creature/cyborg/mech/people/characters etc, that are made with ZBrush, but this hard surface stuff really gets my 'wheels' rolling. Gary, that HotRod engine your putting together is just OUT OF THIS WORLD. Man, that's stuff I have only seen in other 3D Packages. I am sure Ofer and the Pixologic crew are keeping a close eye on you as I am sure work like yours is the reason they gave us all the hard surface tools for (along with the mech suites and armor of course).
You have gained a big fan here my friend... please keep up this amazing work.

It will be interesting to see how you "assemble" the engine, not being the standard 90 degree V8.
The con rods might have quite a job to connect with the crank.

Hi Gary,

I just came across your thread, you have some very interesting techniques and results.

I noticed you are from New Hampshire, where abouts?

I'm a New Hampshire guy myself, from the seacoast; Durham to be exact.

I did go to UNH many moons ago. It is good to know there are other ZBrushers in this neck of the woods, I've often wondered how many of us there were in the New England area.
