You’re right. I’ve never really believed in the concept of working too much. From now on I’ll just have to shave smarter.

Mirror and weld here I come!

#62

Man those ornaments are great.
Some really cool designs in this section. Some of them would fit quite well for armour and weapon designs. Really cool indeed :+1:

#63

First rough experiment with the amazing zbrush 4. Love clay buildup, clipping brushes, and SHADOWBOX :+1:small_orange_diamond:+1: so far.

Really need to figure out that wax/plastic SSS material on the Pixolator watch image…

holy crap. your ‘24 snowflakes’ is an awesome series of images. thanks for sharing :+1:

edit - thanks for the videos also, i just noticed/watched them.

Hey I’m glad you like it. Thanks for stopping by.

It seems like when I look at the thread the embedding for the videos is broken, so I'll try putting them back here, since I don't think I can edit those old posts. [vv]6810521[/vv] [vv]6844696[/vv]

edit - wow they embed really small now…

For anyone interested in how Zbrush performs on a tablet PC, I just posted a video demo of mine here.

#67

Have you tried out shadowbox yet for a new workflow?

#68

Yes, but just barely. I’m REALLY excited about the possibilities, and it’s by far my favorite new feature, but I just got it working Friday I think, and I’ve been too busy to really work something cool out yet.

I’ll be using the heck out of it though, no doubt about that!

#69

Some fun playing with Shadowbox and clip brushes.

drkdve, you are an ornamental wizard! Really cool designs!

#71

very very impressive!

#72

Thanks guys :). I only wish there was a “clip closed curve” brush that would be able to connect end points and clip an irregular inside shape.

#73

hi!!..how do you make de radial alignement?

thanks

#74

For the star I just did one point, then mirror and weld so it’s 2 opposing points, then duplicate and rotate a couple times basically.

#75

Thanks for answering, my question was about the snowflakes…how do you get that radial simetrical composition usin g proyection master?, wich kind of stroke do you use?..

#76

Fantastic stuff!

Have you ever tried patterns with interlacing parts? (like knotwork) I’ve been trying to figure out an easy way to do them…

#77

Ah, ok. I didn’t do the the snowflakes in PM, just grabbed the alphas of the single bits and drag rectangle on a plane with radial symmetry enabled.

#78

Thanks! I haven’t messed with interlacing stuff too much. I’m sure it would take significantly longer than these, but my first approach would of course be to use regular zspheres to block out the base and then switch to zsketch and see what develops. Then I guess you could use the base armature to move things if the zsketch stuff started to overlap.

#79

Thanks a lot for the workflow tip! Must try that out…

#80

And, do you adjust each alpha manually? i mean, to keep the radial alignment right, keep same distance between each other…
