unknowz Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Recently I felt like trying something new. So I got Zbrush 3.5 and I've been slowly learning how to work with it in the past few days. Here's my first presentable result, a female torso. I found out it's pretty hard to get good colors on a 3d model :-| View of the different polygroups Finished image Thanks To:reddawn509, Hoopster211, JacobRyan, navyplaya, bigsword33, Ferahgo28, speedofsound, Goldwolflord, unknowz, GonAndGary and born2die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavi Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 That's kind of disturbing but yeah the result looks pretty good. Isn't Zbrush more for sculpting though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknowz Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 That's kind of disturbing but yeah the result looks pretty good. Isn't Zbrush more for sculpting though? Haha yeah I know. Zbrush was just for sculpting but in version 3.5 they implemented tools to create base meshes and skin (zSpheres).Here's a nice video that shows the process (don't let it fool you, it's a bit harder than it seems <_< ) Thanks To:reddawn509, Hoopster211, JacobRyan, navyplaya, bigsword33, Ferahgo28, speedofsound, Goldwolflord, unknowz, GonAndGary and born2die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavi Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 You should try out Blender. I would recommend using the unstable version if you're just playing around and not using it for serious work. You can find the latest builds of the unstable version here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknowz Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 Hmm personally I dislike programs like Blender because they feel too rigid, not organic ... The only real drawback of creating a model 100% in zbrush is that you can't really use it for animation afterward.However I'm learning how to work with the mentalray renderer in Max.

Sam Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I think it's great, except the texture :/ 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I think Zbrush is a good program for you, especially since you have a lot of experience with digi-painting. Good job on the model, I tried zbrush a while back and it is a lot harder than it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unknowz Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hmm personally I dislike programs like Blender because they feel too rigid, not organic ...What do you mean? Well let me put it this way : Blender = technicalZbrush = freedom to create straight away without having to worry about a billion non-intuitive sliders/settings/numbers/etc.. I'm not saying programs like Blender are bad or useless, but they're really not my kind of thing. I might have to learn how to work with them out of necessity later, but I'd rather avoid it if I can.

dsavi Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 It doesn't really sound to me like you've used Blender, not the alpha version anyway. (They've completely redone the interface) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknowz Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hmm maybe it's because I remember an older version of Blender. Could be better now idk. Either way, I don't really see the point in learning blender instead of zbrush Thanks To:reddawn509, Hoopster211, JacobRyan, navyplaya, bigsword33, Ferahgo28, speedofsound, Goldwolflord, unknowz, GonAndGary and born2die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavi Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I suggest you just download a late build and mess around with it for like 10 minutes. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat_61 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Looks good and weird lol... He dsavi, you know of any good blender tuts besides noob to pro or is it, it?

dsavi Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I tried the "Noob to pro" thing back when I didn't know anything about Blender... To be honest I wouldn't recommend it. You end up being so confused about the interface, because the explanation of it there is like 5 pages long. If you can learn how to use the interface and get the basic terminology down (Mesh, polygon, face, edge, vertex, diffuse color, specular color, raytrace, reflection, refraction, UV map, modifier, constraint, compositing/texture/material nodes- Those are good to start with) you're pretty much in business.
