Now Im having fun

GRIN!!!

This is gonna be fun.

Cool and neat, how fast is your new machine? My monitor isn’t large enough to view that properly, it’s off the sides and top/bottom :(. I even dragged IE to the big monitor and maximised with F11.

Is the same material used on the piece you submitted as the contortionist ?
http://www.zbrushcentral.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=342240
Those panels on the contortionist nicely follow the topology.
Would it be difficult to retopologise the contortionist so rectangular like blocks (Egyption style) would form the panels,
or panels similar to Inca irregular stone walls?
The end result hopefully being a sulpture consisting of sandstone or basalt chunks.

I meant, how fast in Ghz, lol. You still have to save out a file small enough to be accepted for upload. I create with doc size at 4096x3072.

I tried to PM you but your inbox is overloaded. Glad you’ve got a machine to task. A far cry from the 300 Mhz machine with 64 MB of RAM on which I first tried to do 3D, so many years ago. Oh the agony, lol. :wink:
Would you PLEASE edit out my comment on max size? Thanks.

I tried to PM you but your inbox is overloaded

:lol:

Have lot of fun with your new machine.

Some things I have been fiddling about with while I get this thing set up

WOW!!! How did you made this? I’ve been trying to make cut on the mesh like that, but I can’t figure out!! Are you using panel loops??If I’m not asking to much could you make a little tut about it?
Thank you!

Not sure why you don’t like QuickTime, it can be great (it’s free) and combining it with other programs, like After Effects (animation codec) is extremely flexible. Not a sales pitch here
just a recomendation to give it another try.
It can be very useful.

I love your work just looking at it keeps me fresh when I’m in a dumpster of professional work :+1:

QT is not a crap! And, it won’t mess your computer.
Why do you need it? Alternatively you could install the QT codec only. Which will mess your system exactly as QT does, which means it won’t LOL
I hope you didn’t forget to install VLC, right? Just saying.
And, Mealea, Apple is not Autobulldozer or something. Speaking of “dirty” apps now.

Mealea,
there must be a QT codec alone, somewhere in the net.
There was some time ago. It’s all you need.

Hey MealeaYing,

Quicktime has pros and cons for us PC users.


Biggest con is, it is not 64Bit. Some of these anoying “Jobbs” things, RIP.
But it’s not such a messy spy like itunes. So you don’t have to be afraid, I guess. But hey, you have Google stuff already installed :wink:
(btw. Yes I have an iphone and an ipad - no Apple Windows bla bla bla discussions please :smiley: )

Pro:
What I really love is scrubbing. You can scrubb through mov and mp4 files with ease.
Nice tool to find a dynamic pose ie.
Quicktimeplayer is best for this imho.
The mov Format is really flexible.
You can highly compress stuff with H.264 or use it for HQ Backup of your movies in FotoJpeg compression or even asa a container including alpha mask with png picture sequences and a lot more options.

There are a lot of things you can do.
I am sure, if you once start to play with timeline, layers, camera etc. you will surprise us again with your special touch in playing around with things :wink:

MealeaYing,
Thank You
It works very good. Love the mini tut. Hope from the video I’ll see different technique.
Thank you again.

this isn’t working

I don’t know if its me doing something wrong or ZBC doing it.

Trying again:
