Zspheres

Journal Entry: Fri Feb 10, 2012, 10:12 PM
Yup. I'm still dabbling in this program and yes im getting really into it. Below is a screenshot of my current work in progress using Zspheres this time. I never thought digital sculpting would be so much fun. ( and sadly TIME CONSUMING as I learn the ropes in this program ) ... I've somewhat gotten acquainted with the user interface and it doesn't feel so intimidating anymore. Truth is I hit so many bumps along the way that I ended up redoing things over and over and over and over that it made navigation so much easier =)




A Toon Shader Material . Zphere stalks ... Lots more detailing to do here but I'm excited to finish this piece. I decided to learn the sculpting part for now and work on the rendering and lighting for later . If you're wondering why I am doing all this 3D imaging well there's a reason behind it and you'll see why at the end of all my Z'training' .... hope you can check em out  ! Once i complete this ill be sure to post the workflow process on my website so watch for that when its all done =)

I understand where your coming from, I'm learning a new digital program too (Adobe Illustrator) but, I'm a bit familiar with it since I have so many years of experience with Photoshop. :p & Breaking Bad, I'm trying to get through the 1st season too I'm mostly watching it because it's filmed in the city I live in (& they're also filming the final season this year! ) The Walking Dead is fairly interesting but, DAMN, they're seriously never sanitize them selves in that show!!! They could be killing zombies left & right & covered in infected blood & be like *anybody want me to make hamburgers for them & touch all the food with my bear hands?" But, oh if someone get a cut or bit, it's a big ordeal:? :/

I'm just saying, in a real life zombie apocalypse sanitation is crucial! & the only thing sanitary they do in that show is burn the bodies. :no: (oh & I also noticed you're looking for somewhere to go :? I know of two cities that have huge tall abandoned buildings if you're interested.)

Cool. I also have been trying to learn zbrush. What I realized after 4 days is that while learning zbrush one also have to study the form of one's subjects (in my case it's human anatomy).
I guess you're gonna be sculpting creatures. I think concrete plans would definitely make things go faster.

You'll get faster/more efficient the more you work with it. Don't burn out -- definitely take your trips!
I'm with you - getting itchy for GoT season 2!

I don't want to be the person who is watching someone else doing something
I want to be the person who is doing something That someone else is watching
I want to be the person who is doing something Even if no one is watching me doing something in my Art
