New Interface:

This version allow to create new alphas very fast.

Hi all,
this zscript helps to build 3D objects from alpha images.
This is a WIP (i hope in your hints too...)
Next functions: Gray Scale Control, Help, ??

Examples:
Alpha Image

Hi Cameyo
Don't desesperate !
There is always somebody interest for this sort of Utility
Go ahead Cameyo !

thats another cool script, cameyo - i still need to figure out a few things but here is the result of my first experiment:

using this script generated tool
...

i created a Z-seal - like all seals it went for some water :

Thanks Cameyo! I'll give it a try.

Thanks Cameyo, I too can see where it can be helpful to create hard edged stuff on the fly! Nice work but the interface looks like a workshop. I got a little scared at first but I think I get all the buttons.

Thankyou!

[cameyo]

Thank you all.
If anyone had problem with this script...ask me ... i never post the answer
Ok. Now the serious part:
i have strange result sometimes...the Cubic Mesh created is not as the alpha...some part have different dimension and some part are not perfect cubic. You can see the problem in the first Juandel's image: the cubes who form the Z are not precise...but this can be a Juandel decision

Thank you for trying

Tnx for sharing zfirend !!!

Juandel, how was the water scene done? Great job.

[juandel]

right on, cameyo - i noticed it but decided to go on i just have tried to create a similar one using the 3d-cube with sh and sv and zadd all off on a filled canvas, snapshotting/moving the cubes and always having an eye at transformations>info>rotation to have exact control - the result was better, but one of the z-cubes and the upper bar showed similar irregularities as the ones created via simple brush

Jay: the water effect was done this way: the gridtexture was applied to the alphaskintool via tool>texture>uvs, 2 h + v repeats, with texture transparent on. the background was done on a separate layer with simple brush dragrectangle strokes with the gridtexture - the materials colorize diffuse settings made it look blue. the pic looked like this:



i made an mrbz-grab of the best rendered image and filled a layer with the new texture (and made the other layers invisible). i selected 3d-sphere-tool and decreased its rgb value to 4 (thus enabling the defraction slider in the draw menu) and z-intensity to about 50. i think i set defraction to 40something. i then applied deformation>noise to the sphere and rotated it so that the pole/part where polys get dense sits at the upper end - another best render with adjustments, a little blur and hilighter brush postwork - voila
