Hi, Thanks for the response on this character I am making.(For the hell of it)! As I mentioned I'd be showing some of the process for this character from scratch so here we go. In zbrush you can make shapes from zpheres and then convert your model into a mesh for sculpting on.You basically start with a zsphere(fig 1.) and then attatch more zpheres(as many as you need)to the base zsphere (fig 2) and build your object out,like a tree for example. Once you have a zsphere on top of another one you can pull it out which makes a length determined by how far you pull it.Like an arm being pulled out of a shoulder.(See Fig 2). Once you have made your zphere model you can move and scale the various zspheres and sections which is good for posing and fine tuning your model base.Fig 4. Fig 1.Zphere drawn on canvas. Fig 2.Showing beginning construction stage. Fig 3.Showing mutliple zpheres drawn off a base zsphere. Fig 3b.Showing what the model looks like converted to a workable polymesh for sculpting. Fig 4.The zphere base I made for my character. Fig 5.What it looked like coverted to a polymesh. Fig 6.Showing polygroups. At this stage you will need to divide your model to get more polygons so your sculpting will work properly.There is a divide button you press and it x4's your poly count onto the mesh. The beginning level is about 2600 polys for this model.Im now at about 6 million after my dividing alot for detail transfer to be smooth. Fig 7.Showing some brush effects. a)Mallett brush. b)Ram brush. c)Clay brush. d)Standard brush. e)Inflate brush. f)Layer brush. g)Expand brush. h)Rake brush. i)Cut brush. There are many more brushes in zbrush but I normally use these ones.You can set heights,depths,scale etc on each brush. Fig 8.Sphere decorated with various brushes and using symetery. The fine details on the main character are done by using alphas.You basically drag out the detail over your mesh at the depth or height you want.Zbrush will wrap it straight onto your model.Skin pores and fine details etc are done this way.Its great!! Ok,so thats it.Ive probally just confused a very simple explination as Im not very good at tutorials.If you all would like to come round(bring a bottle)I'll show you what Im doing ha ha.. Any questions ? Email me : calum5@calum5.com Hope that was some sort of insight and help. I'll do my best to catch what I can:) Bye cal Ps Vampire looks better as a demon with this horn test?What do you think.:)
