Hi everybody,
I want to enter a contest and the rules say:
"Final entry will be in two parts: …a still render of your Creature or Critter model – (simple shader only, no textures allowed) "
I didn´t know what´s a shader. I only read the word in the Zbrush material palette. I always thought it´s maybe just another word for material but I wasn´t sure so I asked and I got this answer:
“A shader is the way materials/colours can be applied to your 3D objects. Most software, if you look in the shading/texturing/materials window you will be able to create things called “Lambert”, “Blinn”, etc… theses are shaders. Normally you would pick one and then add your textures onto them, but for this contest, they only want you to pick one of these shaders and render it”
Erm… yes 
I´m more confused than before.
The only thing I understand is that the model shouldn´t be textured.
Since I´m using Zbrush only and never touched any other app before I have no idea what´s a “Lambert” or a “Blinn”.
My question is: what does this mean for me?
Can´t I do everything within Zbrush?
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
