    Default Ryan Kingslien Beta Images and a New Movie (4-25-07)

    Hello! After seeing so much great artwork put up by our beta testers I thought I would start a thread to show you alittle of what I do while beta testing ZBrush 3.

    To start out, I want to show you a new movie that shows off one of the many new ways to sculpt in the ZBrush 3, The Next Step. Think Digital Clay!
    Its like 'real' clay only better because i'm only sculpting one side and its much easier to undo!

    Edit - 4/15/07

    New Movie uploaded. Here I am exploring how to build form from a base head mesh. The idea is to see how i can quickly and easily create any face type I want. The rakes come in handy again. This workflow has been a huge boost to my ability to quickly block out sculpts and establish form!

    Here are some other images and models (some of which will be included with ZBrush 3) created while testing and working with different features:

    The Demo Head:

    Happy ZBrushing!

    Wow, I can not believe my eyes yet again, it looks like the mesh really does deform so much better and easier! I don’t know what to say, WOW digital clay! Thanks for postiing Ryan.

    So a rake is a thing that makes the sculpting tool like a rake head then? I see multiple gouges appearing at the same time no?

    It always seems that way when you're watching a good one.

    Very cool movie Ryan. It's a great idea, just like clay but you get to build the surface up as well as nock it back.

    Thanks for sharing,

    NickZ.

    Thanks for the kind words guys.

    billrobertson, the rake is actually a combination of several new brush features in ZBrush 3. In this case, they combine to perform like a sculptor's rake. In other cases they can be combined to act like a stone chisel or a wood cutter's gouge tool.

    There are hundreds of different sculpting brushes that can be created inside the new ZBrush. Another very cool one is a 3D liquify brush.

    I really can't wait till the whole community has this in their hands and starts creating and sharing brushes.

    Best,

    Ryan

    So basically it allows you to rough out forms quickly? I can see why its called digital clay since the way it moves is similar to clay. Its seems like poly count isn't an issue anymore? I don't think you could rough out a head that detailed in zbrush 2.0 without using zspheres.

    Its been awhile since I've heard from you!
