Action Hero - Grenade

[Crotalis]

I have to agree with the others here. Anyone who can prove they used a mouse should get extra credit!

I'm impressesd by how far you took the initial zsphere skin. Your initial shape wasn't as close to what you have now. That's something I've struggled with in zspheres- how close to get to the desired shape before skinning. Nice work so far.

Good start on the sculpt. I like her powers. The whole turning herself into an explosive device is interesting.

U read my mind I was going to ask “how do I get rid of the crinkles out my screen shots

yes I am the all powerful all physic wonder woman lol just kidding I just wanted to see your pic better. Glad I could be of help.

Any one know of some threads or any written materials for using the retop tools in Z-brush.

I myself am looking for a thread that I had found not too long ago on retoping fast when I find it will let you know. Until then have you tried

1. The Making of "Birth" by Francois Rimasson Featuring: Transpose, ZSpheres, SubTools, and Mesh Extraction: the second page has alot of topology stuff.

2. Tutorial: Pinup

3. Topology and Reflow Lab

4. this is for basic retoping


these I found in the Wiki section. Here is main link but you have to be online to see these.
http://www.pixologic.com/docs/index.php/TOC
you can find all of these in the Help in zbrush: it should be in the Plugin menu-help if you downloaded it from the main page here

Hope this helps ya

Thanks guys i'm glad u guys like her =)

Harmonic,Crotalis
- its not that hard to use a mouse to sculpt. =)

antisymmetry- lol yea i had problems thinking up of a power for her.

Seavannah- cool, its good to know a real life super hero =).

Sux, i didnt work on her yesterday cause i left my updated file at a friends house and forgot to bring it home to work on... so i did nothing yesterday xcept for sleeping . Maybe ill have some more WIPs up later tonight/day.

=/ when u guys retop in Zbrush do u guys retop each part of the body individually? or as a whole?

[SolidSnakexxx]

For me...divide and conquer is a lot easier...may be do the torso...arm, leg separately...so you can focus on individual topo area.

[snoopalu]

thanks snake ill try doing them in patches and see.

shes got boogers comming out of her nose... is this gonna hurt me later on?

[SolidSnakexxx]

The booger thing ...let's see if you preview the mesh and it's fine then it should be all right. I think.

[snoopalu]

lol kay im feeling this no wacom thing. Im having such a hard time drawing topology guide lines on my model with lazymouse/freehand. OMG!

[Gohanf22]

snoop your doing great with your mouse my friend. you should try to invest in getting a tablet. im using my mouse for now until my tablet arrives but then im switching over. anyway, you are doing a great job on grenade and i love the concept. very unique.

[snoopalu]

lol yea i havent been on for a while my internet is down. Here another picture i drew of a possible pose ill put her in and heres a WIP.

[spimmy]

Starting to look cool! Love the pose sketch, good work!

[pitchepuck]

nice start. looks good. but I think the calfs seems a little thin... what do you think?
the proportions are ok

[SolidSnakexxx]

the mesh is looking goo now and the pose you are preparing to do is looking cool as well.
