hey thanks for the comments they are still works in progress would a tablet work better for me then a mouse becaause i would love to be better then i am and i would like to know what evey one thinks of posts on page 2 makilus the black do you anything you could tell me i would like to know what you think you are one of my inspirations and meats mier and alexia and there are so many others i thank you all i just wish someone would tell me if they are any good!!!

[Mahlikus The Black]

Sorry about that Troy.

Well, mind you, Zorahm & The Pod were the first ZModels I ever made using a tablet. Everything else before that was straight mouse. The thing I can tell you is change your brush size often. Also, Work like a sculptor does with stone. In the beginning, use large tools and block out detail. Then, get smaller and smaller and smaller until you are using tiny tools and are making things like wrinkles and pores. Finally, Smooth often and don't forget to use inflate as well. This really helps with the modeling.

Hey, this is a really nice set up, very much to my own personal taste, just wish I could get the same great results with lighting, materials as you can

All I did was change one of the lights to green for my doodles/sculpts below







Where can more setups like this be found, if anywhere?

Anyways, thanks again, Mahlikus The Black Love your google-eyed alien by the way, top notch

Mahlikus,

Thanks for the render setup, I really like it, but I am getting some banding in the shadows that I don't see in everyone elses render. Take a look at this, particularly under what would be the pecs of this creature. Any ideas on how to remove the banding?

Might as well hop on the train! Thanks

[Angelstein]

mike hovland, banding is visible on mine also, I think it's just down to the resolution of the model.

Nice work by all, especially abraXas's sculpt of Diablo himself!
