Hello to all,
i have been a lurker on this forum for 3 months already … thought it was time to be a little bit more fair
playing with the alphacentury zscript…
The smiles says it all…
First post? I cant imagine your next work but one thing is for sure, it´ll be an high quality work!
A wonderful first post, with a very original approach to the AlphaCentury method, and some great rocks, take it from a StoneCutter!
Welcome aboard!!!
Welcome and WOW!
Welcome aboard! Fantastic landscape! Looks like the surface of one of Jupiter’s moons!
Welcome!!
Thank you for sharing your work. It’s an inspiration and VERY well executed.
The ground affect and horizon GRAB my attention. Mystical.
Hope to see more of your work soon.
Congratulations on an excellent first post! I welcome you and look forward to viewing more of your work in the future.
thanks to all, for the nice words
Here is a sunset on another one of jupiter’s moon, for you mentat
(alphacentury again)
You’re doing some excellent work, S…Looks like you were practising, as well as lurking!
these are super vistas, Sarum!!! what a perfect and multimultimulti- introduction. welcome!!! i admire these great geological and atmospherical studies. my fav is the shadow and lights on the rocks in the first one and the adorable sky. excellentest!
The sun in the second picture is so bright, it actually hurt my eyes! Very surreal and vivid pics, friend. I like the terrains you are doing (I can’t get the knack, yet).

Only a fool would get zbrush and not use it
Exploring a fairly uncharted area there S, good to see you onboard.

Nice image, excellent first post.

love both of them…and welcome to parenthood in ZBC, coz you just gave birth to 2 very beautiful pieces
Wow spectacular update. Could you share with us the methods used to create it? I know my repertoire would benefit greatly!!
a fabulous image for a first post. Welcome to Z land.
Great first images
Welcome to ZBC.

Once again, thanks all
About the tutorial, i have been trying several times to make a zscript , but everything goes wrong when replayed.
Here is what the script should produce :
Instead i get this ???
I cant figure out why, so if any zguru want to look at it, here is the script : zlandscript.txt
Until i can figure out the problem, here is a quick tutorial (forgive me if i go fast, but i had only 20mns left)
1 : using the alphacentury technique, create a 3d plane (in tool => modifiers => initialize => use the following settings : hDivide=320 and vDivide=240) , import your alpha, press ALP in the selection panel, then OFFSET (with only Zaxis selected ) in the deformation panel. At this point, its not very important what the thing look like, we just need plenty of details.
2 : Once stage 1 is done, scale the object x4 to x8, then rotate it until you find a view with some potential. Apply some smoothing if required and a tiny bit of inflat
3 : Clear the selection, bring draw size to 12 or something like that. Select move on the transform panel, and start shaping your landscape. Since we are only working on a small part of the object (due to the scaling) there is not that many polygons involved and its pretty easy to do.
4 : More pushing and pulling. If you want to make a cavern for example, select the draw pointer instead of move, turn off color and material, replace zadd with zcut, and go for it .
5 : same than 4 with a material and a texture added.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask … sometimes i dont have access to a computer, so be patient if answer not coming right away
i tried to run the script twice and am no scriptguru whatsoever, so i have no explanation why i got a item not found message txtr22 the first time and a item not found message regarding popupreflect4 the second time right before i was thrown out
in case you either changed canvas size or did zooming in/out which might lead to certain problems (as per version 1.23b) and you are on a pc (unlike myself) you might want to give the zfix-app a try that Pixolator posted into this thread. sorry i cant be of any help here, but i sure hope this can be worked out.
anyway: thanks a lot for sharing your scaping technique!!!
