ZSpeed Session: Head Modeling

[Grub]

[Ron Harris]

[Strannik]

[Grub]

in my homepage(in construction) you can copy the zscript of the Head Modelling Sessiom

I don't know how I do it, but for some reason my zscripts end up in the MB's rather than the KB's. Anyway, here is the head I did. About an hour and a half. It's been awhile since I did a head completely in Z. I surprised myself a bit. I think I might do it more often!

Right Click and Save As: Head Modeling Zscript

[chadtheartist]

I'm in the mood for sketching, so I did another one. A little less than an hours work. This time it's the ol' Monster mesh. Is it a sea chicken? Is it an alien bug? Does it like corn flakes? Find out next week... same time... same forum... LOL



And again, the zscript, which was only 800 kb's uncompressed!:

Right Click and Save As: Monster Mesh Zscript

(NOTE WHEN THE SCRIPT ASKS YOU TO SAVE FOR THE FIRST TIME, SAVE IT AS alien THAT WAY IT WILL SELECT THE APPROPRIATE SKIN TO CONTINUE WITH THE REST OF THE ZSCRIPT)

This is a great challenge!

EDIT:

Hey Ron, that last pic with the hair is awesome! That looks just like Tom Petty, you know, if he was on "something". That's my favorite by far! Awesome work! HAHA

Really nice stuff guys!
Thats cool Chad! Hey, I see you lost your work or something in that zscript.
Is that what happened?

Just absent-minded playing around and remembered this thread. Don't remember exactly how long--under an hour. So here's an entry--obviously started from a sphere. It's still quite enjoyable to trot out the old sphere tool and model away

[Strannik]

Very nice!

[Strannik]

And here is my Elephant, took about 1 hour... here is a full session of making the Elephant. But here is several instructions also. I don't know why, but it works ok only if:

1. your document settings is 1280*960....
2. you should skip initialization
3. you should cancel material saving when it ask you for that.

The modelling is ok there but somehow the light setup goes wrong a bit

[Mahlikus The Black]

This is ZSpeedah.



Aprox 2 hours.Want to take it to 3 hours.
I will upload a ZScript his creation but first I need to composite 4 recorded
sessions and then check for errors. It might be soon...it might be later..I am
wicked tired. Haven't slept yet.

*edit* well, bad news people. Z seems to have a limit on polygroups so no matter how many times I play this zscripts, I get errors in selecting and hiding the mesh. This is turn causes errors in the modeling. I am going to try one more time with everything on. See I test with show actions off and minimal update on. Another thing that is funny to is that if I play the script with minimal stroke on, I get playback errors early. So far its a no win situation. I'll keep you all posted.

Oooh, great work MTB. Very fleshy-looking.

Yeah, the first sculpt kind of blew up for some reason. So I started over. That's why it's imperative to save as "alien" the first time. After that it works fine.

Good job guys! I was planning to do an animal next, like Strannik (Good job by the way!). I think I might do a tiger.

[Strannik]

ntThank you, chadtheartist I tried to make him look nice. I'd like to see you tigerrrrrrrrrrrr!
