Zeeble or Greeble that is here the Question!

Woaaaaaaa! Super Cool David! The first Chain Ball is stunning... The slime ball is verrrry creepy. The person rising of the ground is a great idea to! The last one looks really cool as well. The metal grate is superb and the effect of the frozen/suspended woman is great to!

Look what they found in a recent archeological dig in Egypt...seems these old Egypteans knew how to "zeeble" and "greeble" ...there is even a theory from a Erich von D. that alien technologie is used...

I have seen where zmodels have been placed within another zmodel - like pride's lady in the tube - can you place the same model within itself?
here's an image

I guess it's transparent - tried to upload image many times - try later - keeps breaking connection

The Zenterprise and a sphere ship using just the default greeble texture thing and then inversing it and using again for complexity. Also a scene using both. The torus ship was made the same.

A zspere model by Froyd that can be downloaded here at zbc that I zeebled

[jantim]

if you want "cleaner" results its better not to use the same size for the X,Y en Z axis..just do a up-sizing using the X, Y and Z axis..look for the axis that is making the mesh seem to explode..and use a lower value .

Thank you Lemonnado for a fascinating tutorial.

I will have to create some cool Zeebles for you with my Zbrush Demo

Seeya.

Great pics everybody!

This is a lot of fun, but for the life of me, I cant get sharp text. Could you offer advice for sharp text.

I used assorted maps of 2k to 4k on models of 2ook poly to 2million poly, smoothing etc, but still jaggy edges. I tried psd, tif, bumps, I tried grabbing my mask for alpha... nothing seems to work.

Any advice

[lemonnado]

Sorry.... have not seen this for a while. The secret is:

And Highres means HIGH RES. 2Mio will not cut it. One subd level higher and you are in detail heaven! For this cube I put a few support beams into my house before I dropped it onto the canvas ;-).

Besides that.... Mask with 2K texture or higher... I UV mapped the 2K image onto each side of my cube. So it would require a 2K x 6 large texture to yield the same result on a cube where all 6 sides should be different... The cube itself has 6.x Megapolys... So... yes, it's excessive...

PS:jpg make such a mess out of the result 8-(. It's much much sharper on my screen. To bad we can't use .png...

Simply amazing, Lemo.

Even though all 3D apps have displacement, Zbrush can handle displacement like no other.
