I gave it a shot. :wink:

This was two renders out of zbrush put together in photoshop. I used the meat glass material for one render to get my reflections and a skin shader to get for the second render. Dropped them in ps using a lighten blend mode and added a diffuse glow effect to the final image.zbrush-test-04.jpg

I was playing around with this tonight. Just tweaking the material, render and light settings until my contacts refused to continue cooperating. More inzomnia I guess.

It is the red material that Jantim posted, and I yoinked a few parameters. I can’t recall what right now, and I’m at work so I can’t check.

Does pixologic publish the format of their .mtl files? it would be nice to be able to translate them into text files so you could compare what’s different.

Sorry, just had to do it. Reminded me of Meatwad from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Can you explain this layer baking to a complete newbie? I’m trying to get this working with no results!

1.Set Mrgb to 99 or less Check.

2.Create object and bump up refraction to 100 Check.

Now what?

Hey all,
I just returned to this thread several years later to find a specific image I saw when I first read the thread… It was an edited image of one of the first renders that showed a girl trapped in the tentacles. One of the posts on the second page references it (mentions the girl). The image, however, is no longer there. Does anyone know what happened to it?
