Making Time For Art #2 - Now with tutorial movie PART 2

[Iqbahl]

A downloadable Quicktime or similar of these please! I would really boost my knowledge of the program and it's potential if I was able to fullframe this and step through it frame by frame on some places. As it is now, things just whirl past without much chance of seeing what commands and moves were used.

Thanks

Pixolator,

From the very early days to the new stuff you bring out, the one thought that repeatedly comes to mind is that you are a bloody genius.

Well done, and thank you thank you thank you for what you have done for 3d.

Hi Iqbah, I tried many different programs I knew of and were recommened to me up here on the forums, none seem to work for me except for the program "RealPlayer" for the PC. If you don't have it, search for it, it's free for the PC. What I do is, I go to the source code, copy and paste it into RealPlayer and download it. It downloads just fine. And of course, I can then stop, rewind, and fast forward as I please. Hope this helps.

Hello Pixolator and Zbrush community!

I have been trying to learn Zbrush since a couple of months before the 4R2 release, and joined the Zbrush Central community only a few days ago.

Highly inspired by your amazing work, I have managed to create my first finished Zbrush work. I have been "meshing" around for several months now, but never managed to finalize anything. It has been kind of like knowing all the letters in the alphabet and how to write a few words, but lacking the skills to make sentences.

Anyway, after watching your bike-movies I decided to watch them over again by double-clicking the play/pause frame by frame and taking notes. Finally I tried to build a bike of my own. Even with far less detailes (45 subtools) and plenty of shortcuts, it still took me about 10 working hours to make it.



Of course I ran into a pile of problems, which I still haven´t figured out. I will only name a few of them:

1. Radial Symmetry
Is there a clever way to redefine the center of the radial symmetry? I saw you did some kind of clipping, which made the radial center change to the middle of the clipping.

2. Subtool Navigation
A big part of my working time was consumed by navigating from the plane3D subtool to the extracted subtool. Are there any easier way to navigate between the subtools?

3. Geometry Cutting
After extracting some of parts (like a cylinder), it was sometimes hard to cut it without leaving some geo disturbance at the edges. I first tried to add extra edge loops, but it didn´t work. So I just converted the piece to dynamesh. But I suspect there must be a solution for this from the pre-dynamesh days?


Thank you so much again for sharing your stunning work and videos - you are absoiutely brilliant!

Fardin - regarding "2. Subtool Navigation": I hope Pixologic improves the whole Subtool situation. For now, it's good to know that you can navigate subtools like you do brushes: Hit "n" on your keyboard then letters on your keyboard, according to the name of a subtool. Good naming convention helps.

Also alt clicking your subtool switches them too.

Thanks, Dragon4lunch and DustyDeWD.

@Pixolator thanks so much for these vids on motorcycle creation, the cafe racer I have been making has just hit the scrap heap and is now getting rebuilt with a heavily modified workflow.
