Free ZTL Model from Nick Zuccarello (new VIDEO page 9 added 8/7/08)

It looks like the file became corrupted somehow. We got a new copy from Nick and put it back up. You should be good to go!

Thanks, Nick. :slight_smile:

Thanks Nick!

Keep spreading the word!

Hi.
First of all, giant thanks to Nick for the very generous gift to the community, and for the kind motivations.
From the images in the first post the model seems really wonderful. Unfortunately, I have a problem. I tried to load it both in ZB 3.5 r3 and in ZB4, but I obtain strange effects.
In ZB 3.5 r3 this is the result:

and I am not able to change color or texture.

In ZB4 is still worse, the model appears completely black.

Am I making some mistake, or maybe the model is not compatible with new new versions of ZB?

Thanks, ciao.Nick's model problem.jpg

I noticed on my Zbrush 4 the model is all black too. Just fill the model with a different material. I chose redwax and then saved the .ztl. When I reopened it, it was fine. :slight_smile:

Hi Dougt,

thanks for the answer. Anyway, I still have the usual problem. Following your indication, I made the following steps in ZB4:

  1. Load the original model. It appears completely black on the canvas
  2. Press EDIT
  3. Choose the Matcap Red Wax material
  4. Color->FillObject

I don’t see any change on the canvas, but press “Save as” to save the tool with a new name.
When I load the saved tool, I still obtain the black figure, as before.

I noticed that when loading the original model, ZB says: “Updating Additive Shape Layers to a newer format”. Maybe is this the origin of the problem?

Could you please explain if you performed some different steps?

Thank you

Ciao

Thank you for this wonderful generosity!

loaded and had the same prob. ZB4. so aftter some thinking i went into polypaint palette, and disabled colorize. and bang, model became visible and had correct redwax material :wink:

Chose a material, and make sure you have the color white selected. Turn on mrgb, and go to Color-Fill Object

Thank you people:+1:
Both methods work perfectly, now I can see the marvellous model donated by Nick in its full splendor.:slight_smile:

Grazie, ciao.

What I’m having trouble with are the mouth open and arms down poses.

I lower the geometry sub division level to 1 and go to the Layers submenu in the Tools palette and click on the arms down level and nothing happens.

Did something change in ZB4 or is there something else I should be doing?

Thanks Nik
I see that the hours days and weeks you spent on this are not wasted. Well done and well shared:+1:

Actually in my case it is the contrary, it happens too much!:grimacing:
This is what I obtain trying raising the value of the arms lower layer to 1.1:

I suspect that the problem could be related to the message ZB4 gives when loading the tool: “Updating Additive Shape Layers to a newer format”.

i never got that message ! anyhoo i too found probs with layers.

In my case the message appears (obviously in microscopic characters, as usual with ZB UI) in the upper left corner of the screen, just below the menu, when loading the model.

Thanks Antlab.

If I drag in the layers palette I get the same distortion.

Glad to know that it’s the program and not me.

nice model thanks for sharing

Everyone, thanks for looking into this for me. I just did a test today with the blendshapes/layers. It looks like the values for the layers in the new app might need to be set to .1 instead of 1. I had a crash before I could see if this is the case. If someone has time to try it out, let us all know if that is in fact what is going on.

Peace,

NickZ.

P.S. Thanks again for all the kind words! :slight_smile:

Nick I tried the .1 setting with subd at level 1 and still got terrific distortion.

Here are some pics.

BTW I’m using the Mac version of ZB4.
