I would like to thank all the participants of this weeks Monday Night Challenge. We had an excellent turnout with many fine entries and loads of fun. Pixologic has informed me that they are going to make a gallery of this weeks entries. Because of this, we will not be picking a new challenge for this week. Instead, we will be extending the challenge one more week. This will allow those who didn’t have a chance to participate to do so and be a part of the MNC/ZBC Gallery. We are also going to append some details to the challenge to make it just a touch new as well.

:small_orange_diamond:Lets add our freshwater friends too. Little household lovelies too like Goldfish, Fighting Fish, snails, and hermit crabs. Salamandors and froggies too!

:small_orange_diamond:Once again, posbility is only an option. So is Texturing.

:small_orange_diamond:Focus on details. The video’s of Martin Krol (Ambient-Whisper) and Ofer Alon (Pixolator) clearly illustrate adding details to your models. Go get them! Lets make them proud they took the time to make those! :wink:

:small_orange_diamond:Don’t be shy. If you have any questions as too how or why something was done thenjust ask. Remember, the purpose of all this is to learn (and one day Master)ZBrush.

So crank those babies up and let get it rolling again!

Good luck and Happy ZBrushing everyone!

PS - DO NOT forget to type the tag [Gallery Entry] below the image you wish to have submitted to the gallery. Please, only one entry per member.
Thanks everyone.

Ah great! I only had time to do half the model I was going to do! Now I have time to finish it :slight_smile:

Thats cool Kaz!
Keep em coming everyone.

My first finished image using zbrush. The fishies were modelled and textured in zbrush, then exported to 3DS MAX to be posed, lit and rendered. After that I painted it over in photoshop to add the background, the blood, the fin translucency and some extra details… hope you like it.

my attempt at marine life a hatchetfish
…i am definatly having trouble preserving my adaptive meshes.is that what the snapshots for…my zspheres are active for a while then gone…no more sub object??
back to it…is there a zscripts copy of the angler fish demo???

Steven…watch the zsphere scripts that come with z2 and definitely check out the practical guide both will help ya alot.

To edit zsphere mesh set your density to highest level your computer can handle then go to geometry and use the subd’s to model the mesh. if you add or subtract zspheres you will lose the work on the mesh you did.

see the scripts for how to save your work with morph targets so you don’t lose hours of work for nuttin.

PS. your fish looks good to me! have fun with z2.


o.k i may be getting better at this
i really need to buy the full version
i hate not being able to save this stuff
but im happer with this image than the previous
here is my final screenshot before powering down for the night…
do zsperes natively create all quad models??

Beautiful work everyone! It’s great to see all the potential Zbrush has to offer.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Nautilus.

Made in two parts;

and then rendered with some fog :slight_smile:

Amazing work coming out of this one. And there are so many “Ocean Creatures” in the world. Why not Extend it further??

VERY cool Nautilus!

Sleeper :smiley:
Very, very impressive and C_O_O_L… yes, yes, I like it :+1: :+1:

Hey y’all, despite of not having much time still I was tempted by this extention of the Challenge, to make another creature.

I still didn’t get the right mesh resolution on the movable/posable model so I think I’ll make a displacement map for my low poly adaptive ZSphere+Skin model from the high res Adaptive skin model (or is there some other way to assign the made adaptive skin to the ZSphere model?)

Anyway, here it is!


[Gallery Entry]

A huge thank you to all the participants of this MNC. Alot of great entries. Don’t Forget your [Gallery Entry] tags everyone. Even old post may be edited to apply the tag. Just make sure you do it after the image you would like entered.

Oh yeah, IRC Chat tonight for the new topic everyone. :smiley: :wink: :+1:

Sorry Mahlikus,

Gallery Entry Tags? What is that?

Is it just placing (Gallery Entry) at the bottom? If so, why is this important?
