ZBrush Artworks
#12

This is my first piece using subtools, and actually moving them into place which takes a bit of thought but i got there in the end :smiley:

Here’s another zsphere sketch, which I really enjoy doing. At some point I will have to see how many polys I can get away with, I got to 2 1/5 mill with this one and things started to get rather clunky.

comments/crits anyone? ( at this point even a short discussion about the weather would be better than a thread full of me talking to myself :lol: )

Hi Seth! Love your sketchbook entries so far! The alien Mr Burns and Batman being my favourites. Like the last 3 ZSphere sculpts very much, especially the combination of rounded volumes with some sharper edges and flowing lines. Looking forward to the next!

thanks Etcher, your axl thread is both an inspiration and an example of the kind of methodical approach to creation that I dont think that I will ever achieve…great stuff…although oddly alien mr burns is probably my leat favourite.

I have decidede to do something stupid and enter the DWIV mini comp, to sculpt war general’s pet. Here’s the results so far, base was Zspheres and then just worked up from there. Many things to do, if I decide that I like this concept enough not to change it. For now it’s time to sleep :slight_smile:

There should have been text on the plaque but importing the text itself kept crashing Zbrush… Maya Text set to bevel…any sugestions on what I was doing wrong would be much apriciated.

cheers
seth

Not sure about the Maya Text import. But you could Zapplink a text Stencil or something from Photoshop.

#23

Try using text as an alpha, you should be able to drag it right onto the plaque.

Nice work btw :slight_smile:

#24

Hi!
You could create your text in photoshop, then save it as .psd. Open Zbrush, click on the alpha-palette and import your .psd-file. You have now the text as a single alpha. I would use it with dragrect or dragdot.

#25

sweet, thanks for the advice guys, I will have a play tonight and see what I can come up with :slight_smile:

#26

Great, great piece, Seth, your best by far!!!

Ta much RawSunlight, I feel like i’m progressing and I guess that is all that you can ask for :slight_smile:

Had a play with the alpha thing, rather than showing the whole piece again I will show this…plaque.jpg

Thanks for the advice guys, it helped a ton. I’m happy with the result, the text could have been less stepped but I will have to play with the psd’s greyscale values to get that right I asume

anyway thanks again :slight_smile:

#28

Cool models.

If your using ps try Gaussian blur about three times then import it into ZBrush as an alpha.

Also if you are doing your models for art and illustration work try using HD Geometry up it a few times and just about any alpha looks good - note save with the Subtool Master plugin save and you can not export the HD Geometry thats why I say for art and illustration work.
