A little challenge...

[Jason Belec]

Another update to help things along. Whatever you do don't use XYZ other than what is here until you understand the implications. It really can do a number on the mesh cross platform.

I modded this a bit for more control.

Also show what just moving the mouth zspheres in and out from the head can do. Please note this is the chain from the head to the upper or lower mouth part.

I've enclosed 2 versions, what I start with and what I use before sculpting - it's important. So says I!

Test Pinnocchio...

[froyd]

thanks for working out this nice template! Everything is posable very nice, couldnt hardly recognize any deformations. Is this now a template that works for both, pc and mac?

thansk again

[Jason Belec]

Yes froyd, this should work back and forth, so do a little and repost so we can test further. If you don't mind. Nice pose.

Here is one Atwooki whipped up.... More coming....

A little femininity introduced to this thread. Actually AquaGirl has been begging me for some one to shop with.

Bathtub reposte... Don't know why, just seemed cool.

I think the toes will need extra zspheres, tehy wander a bit after a certain amount of rotation, I'll experiment a bit as this is a new foot approach.

Of course other input will help.

Then I can get to work on a script to fix the mac/pc xyz value issue. I hope with enough data.

[Jason Belec]

OK that seemed to be simple enough when I compared to an earlier version. My apologies for letting it slip through.

[Jason Belec]

A few more tests and a posed character so people can see what was done.

[Atwooki]

And yet more...
From a PC point of view

Amazing results Jason...WOW.

[billrobertson42]

Obviously a lot of the posability comes from the zsphere rig itself (which hopefully won't break when (if) zbrush 2.5 is released), but how much of the posability comes from the shape of the mesh? e.g. the thin limbs/neck etc...

Any speculation?

[Jason Belec]

Actually billrobertson42, it really doesn't matter. I'll try to whip off a fat one tomorrow just for you. The mesh is controlled by the zsphere's, so it's the same close or far. On another thread I whipped one up that had stretchy thin webing like skin as well.

[billrobertson42]

That's cool.

thanks baz will give that a whirl,
