FInally found the ZBrush Manual online, went thru another re-registration snafu, got it resolved for now, printed the manual, read the Tutorials at Poser Arcana. Had a great time playing my way thru the "Ogre" tut for Michael - I think it's hillarious! What a hoot! Don't like the cutesey anti-intuitive interface, but Zbrush is surprisingly easy to use for Morph targets!

Yikes! He's pretty scary. Great job. Melanie

Great work! That's one mean dude! Wonder if he's flossed recently? ;-) Dave :-)

Looks great! Hmmm . . . reminds of me of a Warhammer orc. Any chance that's what he's supposed to be? Jay

He looks wicked, leather-guy. I need to play with ZBrush more. I think it is a great program. Beth

Wild! Need to start playing more with z too! Ron

That's really cool, Leather-Guy....very cool. I like doing morphs in ZB, too. I'm glad to hear you found the material at Poser Arcana...always nice to know that people find it useful. Please let us know if you have other tutorials you are looking for and we'll try to accomodate you. Glen Southern, who wrote the tutorial you followed, is one of ZBrush's premiere artists and users. Keep up the good work, Cris

Great stuff there!!!!! You should download AlphaCentury: a terrain creation ZScript/tutorial available at the ZBrush site (www.ZBrush.com)create a scene in Z and place your charactere.. That would be way cool :)

if you change the nose a little and put some hair on him you might have a good nixon character too.

Whew, Thanks for all the responses, guys! I was up til 5:00am playing with this & put it up just before i turned in. By the way, It was all done with just one tool, at one setting - a mesh "pull"-type tool at medium falloff. I can't wait to get familiar with the "push" settings & expiramenting with different settings! I'm very grateful to Poser Arcana & especially Glen Southern for an incredibly dead-on tutorial. Glen MUST be a Zbrush genius, because I'd never have come across the method he used in a month of study! For a program that was originally designed as a deep textureing paint program (as I understand it), ZBrush has marvelous modeling capabilities - but you can tell they weren't intended as a primary use for the program. Thanks for the kind words, all! (I'll have to check that terrain script, too, but probably won't get to it until I've studied more of the basics - Thanks jaimelab!) lelionx - Nixon? - By Dick, I think you're right! LOL

Actually, Pixologic is one of the most responsive companies I know of and when they were approached by several of us with what we'd like to be able to do with Poser figures, they were very interested. Glen and Ofer were definately the main guys on this and wanted to give the Poser community a program that would help them with the morphs and other aspects of working with Poser figures. I would recommend that you voice your questions and desires of what you'd like to see in ZBrush. It is one of the most versatile programs out there. Cris

i can't tell about other perspectives but from this one somthing about him reminds me of a cartoon of tricky dick

lelionx In this one, I think he looks more like Mick Jagger *G*
