Why thank you Reactor. :rolleyes: I was given limitations for writing that. Less than 1500 words and they wanted a recap of features as well as my personal experiences. 1500 words doesn’t go very far I am afraid especially considering the 2.0 Preview released by Pixologic is comprised of some 40+ pages of material. :slight_smile: And yes I was working with beta 1.999r4 I too have to wait for the official release of 2.0 :slight_smile: BTW all the images shown in the article are my own. :slight_smile:

Personally, I think given the space restrictions you faced, you did a good job Lonnie… :+1:
Since I am not given to turning computer software into ‘religious artifacts’, when I read a review, I want the sort of observations you raised, rather than a fawning ‘tribute’ with no intellectual content. Also, you had to talk to people who theoretically haven’t used the program, and you did that clearly…
So, nice job Lonnie. :sunglasses:

Well, I was expecting more, but considering your limits you did an excellent job :slight_smile:

Excellent!

Thanks for the review Lonnie! I especially liked your screenshots of your model. The Zspheres looked very nice, and the low-mid-high screenshot looks to become my most used new Z2 feature.

One can only hope you have a zscript or two waiting for the Z2 release. You are truly masterful at your art, and I know I can learn a thing or twelve from you. :smiley:

Thanks once again!

M7,

Very nice summary - essentially a quick sketch of a very complex subject. But, frankly, the models speak louder than the words! Beautiful stuff.

Good work! Sven

I agree, considering the restraints imposed you wrote an excellent article. And here I didn’t think it was possible to get any more excited about Z2! I think I’m about to explode lol. :smiley:

I was under the impression Zbrush 2 would have some kind of animation capability since seeing that running dinosaur by Pixolator - or is that exported from zbrush and animated in another program?

It was done using a zscript developed by Pix. That will be released after the Mac version is out. But don’t be expecting IK or FK or anything as advanced as that.

BTW I like the review “Guru Lonnie” :wink:
I especially like the detail of the skin/wrinkles on your models. I never know how that’s done with such detail.

Thanks Ken. Lol Guru…that wasn’t my doing. The editor put that in. I tend to think of myself more along the lines of being artistically challenged. :smiley:

Congrats Lonnie…reading it right now.
