Zbrush2 stuff...

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Sweet stuff!

Man, I wanna give up everything for two things now:

1) That platform game I am planning
2) That GrimStone game I was working on

Soon!

Keep it up, Mark!

Eline, Zbrush is the program you'll have to try out after finishing your education in Photoshop, Illustrator and html / php. :)

It allows you to create 3D objects, by painting them. It works like sculpting / working with clay.

I think you might like it!

I am guessing only true traditional artists can work with Zbrush.

So the question is, can either of us draw, mate? :)

oh i dunno my art is above average, im not great but most ppl would thing i was good i presume.

but zbrush just offers a very strange way of working. its like smudging a super dense mesh around, just like clay with your mouse. theres lots of tools and tricks init of course but it works very well.

a bit of patience and you really can produce some amazing meshs. export back to your fav 3D app and most ppl would think u were some 3D genius!

I think I might have to go look for it now.

Where did you find your copy then?

Which would be never :( You can always learn more Photoshop etc!


Sounds quite fun though :)
