Ok, fellow ZBrushers… Here is the strangest tut I made so far.
Strange because I had a friend sitting next to me making funny faces and my wife behind me slapping the back of my head because I recorded this and did not work on my books :smiley: (ouch). So, please, forgive my ramblings and slight inaccuracies. it’s a one shot recording and no editing.

So enjoy this recording which is encoded using the techsmith encoder which is available here:

I hope it inspires one or the other idea. At least it should remind you that if your task is to tedious, that ZBrush probably has a simpler solution… well… somewhere.

Enjoy!

PS:If you use more polygons and load a background picture as reference… you might even get a realistic model out of it. Which is hard to imagine judging the quality of my model provided :lol: .

TAXES - We don’t need no stinkin taxes!

:rolleyes:

You should try my method. After I found out how cheap it is to have a CPA do it I never looked back. Throw it in a box and dump it on someone else. Its quite empowering in a way. Now if someone else could just pay them for me.

Tenacious Zee?:lol: :lol: :lol:

Better get an ice pack for that head!

I use a CPA. But I prepare the Box/Spreadsheets :rolleyes: . Real cheap that way. Compared to the humbug in Germany the Tax preparation for my business over here is a piece of cake.

Where’s your T-Z Guitar? :cool:

Cheers

…Top of course :lol:
PS
Why don’t put the video on Youtube?

#5

LOL Frenchy. YouTube will squish the format very small. I tried it once, but you can barely make out the cursor. I’m happy having it on LemoTube’s server haha.

Lemo,

Great job, really appreciate you sharing that tidbit with us. I didn’t have any expectations when I opened the tutorial just figured I’d check it out on a whim. I enjoy your posts in general and any tut is a good one in my book especially since I’m always learning something not to mention still being new to this 3D stuff. Your tut was enjoyable, interesting, and provided a neat bit of information in such a way to easily digest the information while keeping it very time efficient. I was thrilled and my hats off to you sir , the more tuts we have like that around the better!! :+1: :+1: Feel free to keep more tut’s coming, though, might wanna make sure your wife isn’t watching!! :wink: :grimacing: :wink: Many many thanks!!

Lemo,

I spaced this guitar thing. Sorry:o I started Great Whites custom guitar and forgot all about it:o

#13

great tut =) very clear and concise! i agree with angel, its very nice of people to share ideas and workflows, especially for people starting out such as myself =).

#14

Guitar + player :smiley:

#15

Cheers, Lemo. I realised I haven’t played in a long time … so a 15 minute crappy toon plank seems appropriate.

Nice Toonplank!
Lemo :smiley:

Home sick today so I thought - make a guitar.

The thingymabobs on the end of the whatcha callit are out of whack. I snapshotted (is there such a word?) them on. I’m lazy and I can’t play a guitar anyway:rolleyes:

Used your method partly. I used an alpha to cut the guitar out of a high res plane. Photo texture applied in ZAppLink.

PS:Thingy’s are “tuner’s”.

pps. The ‘tuners’ are ‘machine heads’ and they turn ‘capstans’, around which you wind the strings. They all live on the ‘head stock’.
