Bull ant who will fight a red back spider

Hi everyone, Here is my latest model, this is an australian bull ant. I still need to add its hair which i am looking forward to doing later. This ant will be fighting my other model in my gallery of the red back spider. really looking forward to doing my first posed scene of these 2 in battle. I am aiming to capture a moment in time a dramatic battle scene.

Hope you all like the model, very excited that I now have my 2 models ready to pose up.

Thanks, glen.

Feedback greatly appreciated.

Hi and thanks for your comments on my models I have now finished both spider and ant not time to pose and render. This will take me some time as not yet used transpose master and working on a really great render is also something not spent time with so any tips you have please let me know. I was thinking of adding some web to it as well but not sure how i would model such a fine thing as a web, any ideas.

I crated both models using spheres so you get all the legs body etc in place then convert to dynamesh where i pull this around until the anatomy is correct, then i use dynamesh for a while so i keep good topology then once happy move up in sub divisions for detail. The only down fall with this is that you don’t get any very low sub divisions and it will not reconstruct these, as far as i know any way i tried.

So if anyone has any tips on lightning or transpose master love to hear them. Does anyone know how to get the light cap back to a sphere sufaec rather than a long layout which i don’t like using?

Thanks for all comments and help. Glen.

Looks awesome!

  • [INDENT=3]Major need some help on spider poseHi zbrush artists i really need some major help. i have been really excited to finish my models and it is time to pose these. Not done this before I have posed the spider looks great in the transpose master tposemesh the polly paint works nicely everything looks brilliant. now i want to make the final hi res model of this i push the tpose sub button and it starts projecting the details it says the topology has change but all I have done is mask and move the model into position. As it shows in the video tutorials and books now it all goes very wrong. Please help I really am retrying to create a really cool image but stuck at minute now.
  • How do you treat the pollypaint as well do I have to make UVs and a feature map for this before i pose. Really stuck here [LIST]
