Venom - WIP

[system]

Hi everyone,

I started learning with ZBrush around 1 month ago. Before that...I've been using VUE5i...since April. I have absolutely ZERO 3D OR traditional art experience prior to April. So...please take this into consideration when commenting. I've been trying any and all 3D apps I could get my hands on ever since (3Dmax, C4D, Maya etc). I've stuck with VUE mainly due to its ease of use/simplicity. But...I haven’t really liked the idea of using other people’s models in my work and wanted to create my own stuff.

With ZBrush though…I think I’ve found my calling. I find Zbrush very intuitive and much easier to learn than all the other apps I’ve been trying.

So..Here I am. Over the last month I have been fiddling with heads, hands and eyes etc.

THIS, is my 1st attempt at a FULL BODY.

You can see in the image, the original acrylic model that I'm basing my mesh on (Excuse the red circles). I'll post pics of the head once it's at the same stage as the rest of the body. Anyway…I hope some of you like it. Cheers all.

Nice work so far…would it be possible to see wireframe shots?

As a long time Vue user myself, and itching to get into real 3d, Zbrush was a godsend to me too. I have recently paired it up with Silo, which I find to be an excellent traditional modeller, and capable of tidying up the topology of my Zbrush doodlings.

Venom seems to be one of those characters that everyone loves. He’s dark, cool and evil. You model him greatly. Keep it up, and a great start!

Kewl model…and Venom is an excellant character…

Have you tried importing into Vue …ie the whole model or are you importing it as a plane?

Vue always choked up on my models it seemed…didn’t like the high poly counts.

Have you found a way around this?

Look forward to hearing from you and seeing more of your modeling here and your further Venom developments.

Hi all,

Thanks for the kind words.

LOL…I still have NFI what I’m doing but, Im getting close to what I want as an end result. Here’s a pic of the head so far.

I’ve imported many complex meshes into VUE with no problems.
See my Gallery here. The latest image is Zbrush/Vue.
I think most problems people are having with VUE are related to large textures & memory allocation…but’s that’s another thread :-).

Here's a [link](http://market.renderosity.com/%7Evue/backroom/vue-poser.html) to some info which may help.

Cheers.
