cool stonecutter, kind of a cross between amazing amazon women move poster and an old snap-on tools calendar.

Ah Aminuts, you remember...
And just because nobody seems to be posting anything here, and just for fun, here's something extremely silly...

Ok, so you talked me into it.. this is what I have been up to lately.. Learning Z2 and ZSpheres. Nothing exciting but trying to practice and I think I'm getting better at it.. Let me know what ya think..

Well, here is an update on my guy (Not sure if he's still a ghoul, zombie, creature from the black lagoon, or alien?). I think that's what will be done for this week. At least in Zbrush anyway. Tommorrow I have to unwrap him in Maya for class. Then I'll be rigging later in the week for another class. He should be all painted with textures in about a week or so. I have learned a lot about Zbrush with this guy. I finally figured out how to mess with the UVs and still keep the hi res sculpting in Zbrush (I love Z) Plus I was able to get some displacement mapping working in Maya (after a lot of fiddling-even with all the tutorials in the forums), when I redo the UVs in Maya, I'll post a disp render. Anyway, here's my submissions: (Sorry about the lighting, I'm still learning Zbrush-that's my next tutorial...)

Thanks,
-Simon

121 feedback is welcome (I'm still learning)

Wenna, since you blinded me trying to read that red on grey......that dude better be about to ride a custom softail!! Looks good so far.....now to flesh him out....remember to save the steps as you go in case where ya go is not where ya wanted to be.

Merc, that guy is cool, look forward to your updates on displacement etc for this guy.

Gunslinger is his name...comes from a sketch I made last week but have not scanned as of yet. Mutantish. Well he is still in wip phase but I think he fits the Mnc this time. Monster hands are stock as was the head. I got closer to my sketch than I thought I would, but there are still a few little things to tweak and add to him. No biggy definitely. Congrats to the other entrants in this weeks Mnc.

1. Zsphere head
2. Zsphere monster hand
3. Sweep profile tooled hat
4. Raw Zif body
5. Belt- deformed torus
6. Gun holster- deformed 3d cube
7. front
8. back
9. top

Here is the original concept sketch for this guy. So you see I still have a bit to go before total compliance to the sketch.

this is my space guy dude character



built from zsphere skeleton and then muscles and form from using inflate and standard tool, then projection master to do all the detail.

hand was seperate then multimarkered in

Here are the normal map and disp renders. I think this will be it for this guy. He was a fun project and I learned a lot about Zbrush and Maya. I hope to have some more time to try the next challenge. You won't have to see this ugly guy again... Enjoy.

(As always, feedback is welcome)
