hey Ezra,

sorry for that,

thanks for the hint!

Cool sculpts. One issue with your DJ sculpt is that his sternocleidomastoid muscles are diverging away from his sternum, rather than tapering together:

[wethand]

wow! okay... i don't understand your words (i don't know the right names for the muscles/bones), but i understand your pic!
many thanks for your advice, i will correct this during my next session! thanks for your feedback, it's a great help and i appreciate it!

hey there,

two new things.
for the gun: nearly three hours practice of hard surface modelling... not 100% accurate MP5. maybe i'll continue with texture
for the guy: a out-of-a-ball-study which. i realized how much anatomy practice i need....

hopefully youtube doesn't take too long to process this clip... i already embedded it...

Hey Wethand, that hard surface modelling video of the gun was really cool to watch you making it!!!

Thanks for posting

[wethand]

thank you very much polo!
love to hear some like my work.

[wethand]

so, meine ZBrush Knigge... was ist zbrush?
ich habe vor, ein paar videos zum thema zbrush zu machen und das ist das erste.

würde mich freuen, eine meinung von jemandem zu hören, der zbrush auch so kennt.

danke schonmal

Hi,

there is no need for another series of beginner videos for ZB I think, unless it's your hobby... In fact there are a lot of them around, Youtube is full of em. For me ZB Classroom is the first place to get in touch with ZB.

BTW: Nice work on the Rifle!

To master the human form you have to get good anatomical knowledge. For me, Burne Hogarths sketching books are a great reference. But be warned, it's a long way to sculpt perfect organic forms. I'm still scared to post my work here because I think it's too bad...maybe sometimes...

Keep up learning!

greez, René

hey cuffi,

thanks for your reply.
japs, there are too many beginner series, thats completely right.
but there are not many tutorials in german. and i heard some people complaining about that.
so maybe i will share some workflows on german if i get the time to.

and yeahps, human anatomy is one of the hardest things to learn... Burne Hogarths books are really helpful
but my favorite book about anatomy is this one: Sarah Simblet - Anatomy for the Artist

thanks again for your reply
i was thinking about making a beginner-series in german language, but u are right... there are already too many of them.

[cuffi]

Hey Wethand,

I don't know if there are a lot german users around...Sure, there is a german ZB forum but there are a few members only...

greez, cuffi

Du hast recht: es gibt nicht viele gute deutsche Tutotials, aber wer ZBrush benutzen möchte, sollte der englischen Sprache mächtig sein, oder?

Zu deinem Tutorial selbst:
^^ Vielleicht solltest du den Ton extra aufnehmen. Denn das Geräusch, dass du mit deinem Tablet machst... nunja... hört sich ein wenig eigenartig an (ich lag zeitweise lachen unterm Tisch ^^) und stört auch ein bisschen. (wie kann man denn überhaupt so laut mit einem Tablet arbeiten? XD)

Ich weiß nicht, ob mir dein Tutorial als absoluter Anfänger wirklich weitergeholfen hätte. Aber da du ja sagst, es ist nur eine Einführung, und noch weitere Tutorials folgen, kann man das als sehr grobe Übersicht benutzen, denke ich.

Hoffe, du nimmst meine Kritik jetzt nicht allzu ernst, da ich selbst noch ein Anfänger bin, aber gerade deswegen auch gerad mitten im Tutorial-Wust stecke.

[wethand]

Artelanas,
danke für die anmerkung mit dem ton, werde das dann seperat machen.
und englisch sollte man schon können!
die zielgruppe meines ersten videos sind leute, die zrbush noch nicht kennen....

cuffi: ja, das deutsche zbrush-forum is nich der bringer... total up to date... und btw. wird das von meinem "ex-arbeitgeber" gewartet bzw. halt gemacht... was bedeutet, dass ich diese seite immer meiden werde ^^

ich habe noch ein tutorial in dem stil gemacht, werd bei den nächsten den ton neu aufnehmen.
thema ist "customizing the user interface"
vielleicht hilfts ja dem ein oder anderen:

Hello there

sadly i am REALLY busy with real life....
beside my work i got involved into a project i work alot for.

but i couldnt resist to test the new fibre-mesh feature...
i LOVE it!!!! maybe this dickhead isn't the best way to test it but i could go through all the settings and...
...damn, pixologic DOESNT STOP TO AMAZE ME!!!!!!!!! i am SUCH a big fan of that software...
even if i don't use it in my job, it helps me to stay alive...

thanks pixologic for such a big bang again!

here is the result of my first experiment:

[wethand]

one illustration which waited a LONG TIME for such an feature like fibremesh!!!!

still wip! now i really understood fibremesh...
but i will have to improve my rendering and material skills inside zbrush to bring ROSA to the end.
