Zskiff-a-licious!

You are welcome!

The special thing about this material is the bounce light simulation under the model. I find that, when modeling, I use this material a lot lately because it shows model details in the lower areas that other materials just have under shadow. See: [<!--[attach=192503]ZBrush-Document.jpg[/attach]-->]![ZBrush-Document.jpg|1064x800](upload://gLIWBGaam779JlO3tSaAx7a4BVT.jpeg)

Here is another sample.

Wooow!, thank you thank you so much for this material and all the materials, really looks awesome especially the last one thanks!.

As always, you all are very welcome. Personally, it is a pleasure to not only play in Z but to also share my findings as well as toys. It is very rare when I keep anything solely for myself. Love doing it…will continue to do so. I have already expressed as to why I do so on numerous occasions. Itz vut I do.

Will be posting more soon!

Cheers.

Gonna finish this guy. Time to practice everything in Z again and I’m gonna use him to do it. So Zskiff stage complete! Time for modeling.

Okay so here he is. Needs A LOT a lot a lot a lot of work but, I tell you, I’m so wicked excited out the development so far…just had to show you how he looks after an hour of playing with the model. He is going to need a retopo bad though. Don’t get me wrong, the skinning works wonderful (compared to old school Z unified). But, I am going to detail the crap out of him so I am going to need a nice base mesh to support it. This is the first time I have played with the polish brush and I have to say…Brilliant. I have NEVER modeled like this before. I have always wanted to do hard surface modeling and damn if Z doesn’t make it easy to just have fun. God bless Z for it’s tool set. I highly recommend a good tablet and pen set though. You won’t regret the cost once you see how well it dances with Z (ESPECIALLY the polish brush).

Yep the Polish brushes are one of the best additions in 3.5, they’re wonderful To work with and the Hpolish quickly became a permanent addition to my quickbar. A tip if you like working with the polish brushes, you’ll love the Trim Dynamic Trail brush. Took me awhile to find that one but wow, it’s got all the “feel” of the polish brushes, but cuts through edges like a hot knife through butter with ultimate control all at the same time, great for hard surfaces.

Haven’t heard or seen either of those. Can’t wait to try them. Retopologizing right now…might have to wait till tomorrow… :frowning:

just spilled tasty drink on my laptop and killed the keyboard…sigh. Good news is I get a new replacement for 20 buck…bad news is I have to wait 5 days and replace it myself…worse news is I can play with Z this weekend.

do you retopo in zbrush or another package?

where do you get inspiration for designs? One major problem i have is being original.

No I try to stay in Z as long possible. So I use Z. It’s wicked easy (considering other apps in my opinion). As for originality, that’s hard to explain. My four eyed dragon Krygus was rocking for eyes 9 years before Avatar but I’m sure someone created the like way before me.
One thing I can suggest is getting yourself a copy of Gnomon’s Creative Creature Design with Neville Page. He discusses ways in which the creatures create themselves. A kind of rorschach effect. That should help you out a bit. That is how this character was created. The zskiffs kinda just took me there.

Hope this helps.
