That is a very cool composition! I can see some of the robo pieces…I like the way you used them. They look completely different when used outside the Robot scheme. :+1:

#23

Hi :),
Here are few ZProps in ZScript format.
Click on icons to download ZScripts…

…and a Shark modeling recorded-session…

Note: The Shark model was created by utilizing an efficient modeling method. In this method, the modeling session starts with a low-resolution mesh (in this case HDivide=16 VDivide=17) that is used to ‘block’ the basic shape of the object and then; the mesh is subdivided and refined. The process of subdivide+refine is repeated as needed.
:large_orange_diamond: When modeling a low-res mesh, it is quite easy to see each of the polygons and be able to carefully shape the object by moving individual mesh points ( allows for better control over the resulting shape and distribution of polygons).

     :large_orange_diamond: In order to clearly see individual polygons, PREFERENCES:QUICK 3D EDIT is turned on. This instructs ZBrush to draw the edited-object faceted (without any mesh-smoothing), at the end of the modeling session, the PREFERENCES:QUICK 3D EDIT is turned off (back to default state).

Gerlon and dr. jjwow: The wheel above is similar to the one used in the ZCycle image :slight_smile:

Thanks Pix!!! Some of those I recognize others are new to me. I will be looking over that shark script very closely! Who-wha!!!

#28

Pix I just ran the shark script. A monstrous light bulb just went off in my head. I have never really grasped why one would want to model in a low poly mesh but after having seen your script in action and remembering what you said about blocking it out in low poly…everthing clicked! I can most certainly understand why this would be a prefered approach to many projects. Your words of wisdom are as always most generous and appreciated by all! I wouldn’t be surprised if you start seeing fish pop up all over the forum! lol! Thank you so much!

#29

Thanks Pix, much better than my poor shark ~G~

#30

I’ll have to take a look at these ZScripts when soon, especially the shark one. I don’t have anything yet to contribute to this thread, but will when I get the chance.

#31

By the way Pix…how do you do that “click on icon to download” thing? Is it HTML UBB code or what? Thanks!

#32

I’m guessing it’s standard HTML code.

For example:

(A HREF=“www.blahblahblah.com/files/blah.zip”)
(img src=“images/blahblah.jpg”)(/A)

Replace the parantheses with the corresponding left and right arrows.

I wasn’t sure how else to make the source show up.

#33

A ‘clickable’ icon in UBB…

<font color=#ffa000>[URL=</font>Address of the target file<font color=#ffa000>] </font>

Example …

<font color=#ffa000>[URL=</font>http://www.website.com/IconName.zip<font color=#ffa000>] </font>

#34

So if we wanted to do that would we upload the file and image and then insert the code or does it need to come from an outside website?

#35
