Good luck!

Hey -E-
This is very nice. Question: can you actually paint bump maps while seeing your color texture on the model?
I tired many different ways to view my textured model with the bump material in ZBrush but never got it to work.
What I want to do is apply a material to the model and be able to paint my bump map while still actually "seeing" my material (texture).

Any ideas how to do this?

Thanks and keep up the good work,
Hamzah

No, I do not know of any way to do that.

Two ideas:
Use ZAppLink and add a new layer at about 70% opacity paint your bump map on that layer. Then copy and paste that layer to a new document of the same size and up the opacity to 100%. Delete the new layer from your texture.

Open your texture in PhotoShop and do the same.

Should work?

I know your proud of your zombie but wow do these images realy need to be this huge?

[Takroony]

Hey Blaine, what do you mean by copying and pasting the new layer to a new document? do I do this in Photoshop?
Please explain more. I am still new to this stuff.

Thanks a million

heh yes and no... I find it really hard to see all the detail that goes into the model when not viewed at a high rez. When made smaller it looses all the detail. I have had people both like and dislike the highrez shots. Mostly I find that artists monitors are around if not above 1600x1200 rez so for most people its not that big of a deal.

(and to be honest I am acutally not all that proud of him)

And I personally dislike it when artists post renders of their shots and it's so small you can't see any of the detail and hard work that went into creating the image. (which happens a lot) But perhaps there is a better middle ground....

real quick color and small model update.

[Blaine91555]

Looks good This monitor is 1280 x 1024 and the image size is just right. At 1600 x 1200 its actualy a little small.
