I would like to thank the participants of our last Challenge. We Plan on Having another type of portrait challenge again in the future but for now, our next challenge & guidlines for this weeks MNC, and old favorite: Space and Space craft.

:small_orange_diamond:Native ZBrush as always. Use either a ZSphere or box model it from scratck (in Z of course) Fresh work, as always.

:small_orange_diamond:3D and 2D. Another combination challenge. 2D for the space and 3D for the Craft. Can also be either space or craft or both space with the craft. You pick.

:small_orange_diamond:Wireframes, progression Modeling, and/or screenshots of your progress. This helps others to see workflow. Models, ZScripts, and other support materials are always welcome.

:small_orange_diamond:Time Limit is a week. We start anew next Monday.

:small_orange_diamond:Nobody is too good or not good enough. This is open to everyone.

:small_orange_diamond: Add a [Gallery Entry] text below your gallery entry.

Don’t forget, if you wish to provide support material, by all means, upload zscripts, materials lighting setups or whatever you feel will help others.

Here is one I made a while ago:

well this type of work is very relaxing and fun…started when we got out of the channel tonight. One layer. Filled the backwith black fill and drag stroked alot of it with various alphas using simple brush, blur brush and highlighter brush. The planet is a 3d sphere. Nothing earth shattering, but fun nonetheless.

All were default alphas cept for one cloud alpha used slighty to break up some outlines.

hmm this one its awsome, I’ll start a little project of my onw… I am being distracted by France’s game hehe…
Hey Ron nice image man!
take care!

Aztec
What is a France’s game :qu:
Pilou

Hey Mahlikus this is a little off topic but how did you make the (Space & Spacecraft) text?
Thanks in advance

I suppose France´s game is football Euro 2004.

kapowee - Photoshop tricks of the trade…hehe =)
Make type, convert to raster. Make selection based on type. Covert selection to object mask of desired layer (this case a space image I made). Apply layer mask and then pop on desire layer effects.

Thanks man im gonna have to try that :smiley:

Cool worm hole Ron! :+1: :+1:

Hey Mike…you might want to check the guidelines you posted. The first guideline reads:
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Real or Caricature, Famous or Infamous. Maybe even yourselves. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

So are these Space Caricatures?? :smiley:

LOL Ron!! MTB the Martian!! :+1: :+1: :+1:

Thanks Lon. :+1:
thanks ron m. I love a little green though…
:wink:

Hey, look Mahlikus the green. That’s hilarious ron m.

Ron: Nice space scene. I like the worm hole effect.

Here is my spacecraft WIP, a WIP assuming I ever finish it. :stuck_out_tongue: The background is from a Hubble photo, the spacecraft itself more accurately represents my texturing ability, which is what I currently desire to improve in Z. Lets just say they recently left the Romulan fly through space-wash!

Oops, reread the first post, and maybe the actual real (visible spectrum adjusted) NASA background is illegal. :frowning: Breakin’ the law, breaking the law! :wink: Anyway here’s the zsphere model sans fancy background:

I love doing space stuff… And I have a ton of ships and space buildings already made in Wings… But I didn’t cheat. I did the little ship in this pic, using zspheres. I do have to get into the habit of saving my steps though as once again I only saved the finished ship as a tool. The rest is done as a painting.
Hope y’all like it! :rolleyes:

Greetings,

Well if you are going to be in outer space, it’s always handy to have a ‘raygun’ to back off nasty aliens.

Hey Guys, been awhile since I used Z2. Thanks to MTB for getting the MNC’s going again. :+1: Anyways here’s my entry.

I created the back ground by filling the layer with the flat shader set to black. I then painted the stars, nebula, glows etc. with the highlighter II brush. Planet is sphere primitive with a standard ZB texture, and bump brush over painting. Asteroids are sub-D spheres sculpted, and bump brushed. Lights were set to radial, and highlights on asteroids were painted with the shader enhancing brush. Best rendering was not used. I do have another version of the image, but with different lighting, and cavity shaders for the rocks. 121 welcome.
:wink:

Hi Sir of Quadalot
Absolutly beautiful :+1:
