hello again, its been a while since i was on these forums.

i have recently compared the work i have done in z brush to what the z brush centeral users had been doing, which is all a hundred times better than what i do, but i have been following some user advice and tutorials and have come up with some new models, the following one i made to test a process that a user uses to create a skin like texture, i also followed a presentation tutorial so that my work would look more professional.

"Alien head" -

heres a quick post, its still wip, obviously he has no limbs! but it'll be tetured next then the limbs, the process will make sense when you see the final product.

anyway here it is, this is also using a custom matcap (material) so tell me what you think of both

thanks for the comment, really i wasn't trying to get the anatomy correct with this guy, i was really just trying to recreate what i saw in my head, which i did

thanks for the advice though, anyway here is the polypainted model, now just to model the limbs and what not, tell me what you think.

please dont make his legs like you usually do they always look like stilts, though it's a style of yours, i would go for something bent outward and normal feet but still it looks amazing

quik@

look these models are from my imagination and aren't meant to be human, i was acctually planning to move onto humans after i finnish a "fish out of water". so i do appreciate the advice, and i do agree that they aren't anatomically correct, when compared to humans but these aren't human. but could you please specify whats incorrect e.g. the stomach isn't wide enough or is his chest too big, please let me know and i will correct it as i do want these to be believable

anyway here is an update, i've finished his arms, not much left

i liked the first non-textured one more.it looked like it had a stomach because it looked like a belly button.

the thing with anatomy on aliens is you have flexibility but when ever you try to give it an alien shape you need to have a base human reflection. by that i mean that you need it to be shaped the way a human would with bones. granted even then you have flexibility. take a look at ass effect some of their aliens would be a good reference for shape.

now the main problem i see is the arms they curve like they have an elbow but it doesn't appear like they do.

another thing is the back view looks rather... well the way the rib cage goes makes it appear to have a medical disorder...

try bringing the bulge a ways in or something to make the bulge appear less apparent.

Unless he retopologies then it would probably break the quake three engine. Thats the main reason i barely use zbrush anymore, my Rig cant handle Max's run load when i retopologise. I shoud just spilt the mesh lol. Im guessing, what 4th? subdiv?

Have alook around for tutorials on it, thiers plenty of videos ones out thier. I had a ?knome? one on DVD, £50 anit that bad for all of the info and workflow stuff's

As it has already been pointed out, the mucles area a little too defined, to the point were they could esplode lol. Smooth it down a bit and it'll look great.

thanks for the comments, lazerus this is acctaully at its 2nd subdiv and is, 151,000 polies, so thats pretty low, for z brush.

anyway yeh i'll probably get one of the new tutorail DVD's with xmas money, but i had a question, where is the retapologise button or whatever as i cant find it.

also the muscles do look very defined in that render, i think i overdid the edge detection for the material

anyway here is a quick post, this took me a most 10 minutes so its very early wip but i rather like it, its meant to be a vampire and i know it looks nothing like one but i was thinking that it drinks blood in the same way that a humming bird drinks/ extracts nectre from flowers. anyway heres the render and C&C welcome as usual

"vampire (wip)" -

well here is a quick update on the vampire character, just some subtle changes, i think i'm ready to go onto fine detailing so exspect a lot of updates soon

also i wanted your opinion on something, is the name drainer more appropriate and better than vampire, let me know

and this is also another custom matcap, i may release a pack on here for our z brush users if you want, let me know

Fact: The greeks made the first good looking male sculpt. It was freaking realistic. But then they realised that if u exagerate the little things on a human body, like muscles or buts, or any thing like that, like more longer arms and legs, it would have the best unrealistic realistic result. Like the people would look and say: WOW! that is nice, but it was unrealistic, tho they felt that it was remake of them. So it had its own gravity towards the people. That makes it Impressive, then a "silly" normal sculpt of a normal person.

Here:



Picture One: Fully Normal Human Body, all in good porpotions. Presenting all the muscles in action.

Picture Two: A full unatural human body. All out of porpotions. Muscles are not well represented.

So... But wich one is the most "attractive" one. I do believe that is the second one. (Also because he is in action, as in the first image the person is acting static, and not doing anything.) In the second image, the human body have strong unatural muscles. And the body is out of porpotions.

Just a bit info for you .

Could you make a very big space snake for me? Big as in, big enough to swallow Earth whole. Of course, it doesn't have to be THAT detailed. Just make sure it looks threatening and has a lot of spikes on its head. ?

I agree with asteric, i think the problem is how close together they are also they might be a tad bit to long.
