I've seen your Maya deformer video and that is helpful but I was looking for a tutorial that showed putting a blend shaped head on a key framed body. Any thoughts? Here is a link to a demo of blend shape technology in Maya that I cannot find. Thoughts? http://youtube.com/watch?v=1nAWqQSH7fk Thanks! ~S.~ Last edited by SNARK : 07-05-08 at 03:30 PM.

I do have a blendshape video but I used maya to make the blendshapes. Using Zbrush you have to use worldspace I believe to import the blendshapes from Zbrush. on houseoftutorials.net under the (animation I) look for the last lessons for the Trax editor. The blendshape video is in my signature below under maya. I know worldspace in the factor between the two, and when you import it in make sure you turn groups off on the obj import in maya, (same as you would when you do UVS) Anyway fresh from the stack comes chapter 4 Enjoy. 0305 Explains chapter 3 and 12 Soon to be on youtube also If you are living outside the US or inside the US you should really read this sad article about how we as Americans are acting towards the outside world. It is really sad how we do business. I dont support veoh but I have to use it for the classes I teach sometimes here in the US for the students to catch up on content when they miss a class. Rapidshare is out of the question but I am open to sudjestion on any Veoh like sites that allow posting in embeded format (example below) Heres that article http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/...-united-states/ __________________ VTC Training in Zbrush HOUSEOFTUTORIALS.NET Classes open to all just login as guest My Youtube Channel My NEW maya 2011 Training DVD Here Teacher at: International Academy of Design and Technology: Jackson Community College: Jackson Area Career Center.

Videos are high res versions!!! you will need Xvid codec !!!! This will launch 2 tabs in your browser go to the first tab and download the video.

Blend Shapes 2. skinning 3. Character sets 4. Traxx Hopefully your already done animations arnt tooo far along, because I'm pretty sure you will have to redo them unless your head is detached on your model (2 different objs) This way you can unskin the head / attach the blend shapes and them reskin the head. __________________ VTC Training in Zbrush HOUSEOFTUTORIALS.NET Classes open to all just login as guest My Youtube Channel My NEW maya 2011 Training DVD Here Teacher at: International Academy of Design and Technology: Jackson Community College: Jackson Area Career Center.

Squirkle?

Quote:

firstly I want to say hi to all you highly skilled modelers here on zbrush central!
So, I realize this may not be the best spot for this, but I'm new to zbrush and this squirkle tutorial is driving me insane. I really want to create the macro, but when I follow the steps in the video there isnt an option for enableing uv under the texture palette. In fact theres only about 4 or 5 options total.
So I tried turning the cude into a 3d polymesh, and I was actually able to see the enableuv and disableuv options. Only problem was that it seems enableuv had already been selected, not sure why. So I moved on hapily thinking I had fixed it, however when I got to the reconstruct subdivide step, my results werent so "squirkley"? So I was hoping that I may find some help here in my epic quest for the squirkle.

Fixed. All I had to do was click on the unified skin to continue. Can't beleive it was that simple. Thanks jason for all the amazing tutorials!
