Un titi parisien c’est rare mais on est quelques uns :slight_smile:
Grosse influence de la Bd à ce que je vois :cool:
Premier Post de super qualité !
Zbrush est vraiment très fun n’est-ce pas ?
Et ce forum est lui Ultra-cool :rolleyes:
Have happy Zbrushing :cool:

Ps Google gives me that :slight_smile:

Yeah! Cool comic book style! Just proves that ZBrush is suitable for anything and everything. Well, almost. :smiley:

Salut Frenchy pilou!!!

Ben ouais encore un petit frenchy, et merci pour avoir trouve mes sources d’inspiration :smiley: !!

Thanks too all the others for the comments, any criticize now?

#7

No critic ! It’s perfect :cool:

#8

Oh thank you! :smiley:

#9

Si ! One critic :smiley:
The moon size or her position :slight_smile:
There is no more people who use Zbrush in “comic’s style” so makes many more again :slight_smile:
But maybe it’s frustrating to make a 3D Model for flattering it after for a 2D render :slight_smile:

The moon size, euuuuuuuhhhhh, why?
:frowning:

#11

Hi Steph
Un peu plus grande et un peu plus haut,
à l’intersection de la verticale de la croix de gauche et de l’oblique de la palissade de droite :slight_smile:
Mais non, tout est bon, c’est juste pour causer :smiley:
Par contre ce qui serait cool c’est le step by step ou le model in Zsphere !
Ou encore mieux si tu as une Full Version un petit script des familles !
Cela impressionne toujours et cela est riche d’enseignement :cool:

Sorry but I have just the finished mesh, because my hard disk is full, that’s why I don’t conserve the evolution of my mesh in others saves :frowning: !
And Idon’t know how to make a Zscript, I’m a newbie, you know :stuck_out_tongue: !

Mais puisque tu es gentil, je vais faire un effort!!!

#13

This is the finished mesh:

And then a cartoon shader with just 2 colors style like Mike Mignola:

Then I do some modifications with the brush, I insert the belt, the gun, and a texture I’ve made for the background!

I love the 2d style you can do in Zbrush, the cartoon shader in this software is beautiful!!

Tu vois Frenchy pilou, j’ai fait un petit effort!!
:wink:

#14

very cool shading going on here. nice modeling also :slight_smile:
Mes compliments :slight_smile:

#15

Hi Steph
Bravo :cool:
Ne pas hésiter à charger les “Quick Guides” et le Manuel :slight_smile:
For the Zscript : Nothing more easy :slight_smile:
Just press “record” on Menu/Script (page 232 of the manual)
and all actions are recording :slight_smile:
Have happy Recording :cool:

Welcome aboard Steph,
That looks great, I like that style very much. I’ve done a couple of cartoon style renders but have not managed to get a thin black outline around my models while retaining the intense shading in other areas of the model. I use the materials diffuse curve to get the cartoon style and then only a single Sun light to get the angle of shading. Is this how you did it?

Once again, great picture also some good modelling. If I had to give any critique, it would only be that there is too much aliasing on the 2 wooden planks (lower left corner). And maybe it would be better if the contrast between hellboy and the background was not the same, too much black on black. His outline seems lost in the lower part on my screen (gamma 2.2). Of course I don’t know much about comics and maybe that is what you wanted :slight_smile:

Looking forward to more of your work :+1: :+1:

#17

Thanks Tveyes!!
For answering of your questions, my toon shader use just 2 colors, and just one light, with the intensity at 2 and the ambient at 0, no shadows!

For the background, you’re right but I wanted to do a Mignola’s style with a lot of black shadow, but he is greater than me!! And I’m a very newbie in Zbrush (by the way, how do you adjust the antialiasing?)

I managed to achieve a black outline to the toon shader by giving it a Reflectivity of 100, setting the Refletion map to a plain black bitmap, and adjusting the Reflectivity curve so that only the outer edges of the object reflect with a sharp falloff. I put a (bad) example in this thread, with a downloadable material.

I’m not sure if this is the “official” way to make cartoon shading, though. :slight_smile:

There are two ways to anti-alias:

:small_orange_diamond: Make your document twice the size of the intended final size. You can then use the Zoom menu (or press CTRL-0) to zoom the image into a special “AA Half” mode, which shows the image in half the original size, anti-aliased.

:small_orange_diamond: There are Anti-Alias options available in the Best Render mode, with various smoothing parameters. To use Anti-Alias in the Best Render, switch the “Color Adjustments” on. The picture will be super-sampled, which slows down the rendering the bigger sample you use.

Wow,
Welcome to Zland! That is some very cool work Steph… I really like the toon look of this with the flat colors! Excellent work!
Skaven,
That is a great tip on the black outline… I’ll have to incorporate that into my toon shader material! Thanks!
Best regards,
Michael

Thanks to all!! :smiley:
