Hey Point

Am getting an i7 8core running at 3ghz, 12gb of ram, an nvidia gtx295 with 1.768gb of vid ram, and a 1200w power supply so I can sli a second card later on! Not the best money can buy, but nice enough to start doing some decent work with zb3.5 ... hopefully

Eeeep; what if the reason they haven't released is because for all their optimising it's simply too slow on mere mortal machines!

...wets his pants!

Great works here!
I remain tuned!

Hehe, do you need a license to fly that, or do you just bolt it straight to the floor. When you say sli another card are you referring to another nvidia card.

I have to buy a new extension to put it in.
Yep, I will eventually put a 2nd gtx295 in there, once i recover from the shock of forking out for this lot!

Been doing a texturing tutorial and thought I'd take what i've learned and do my old man charicature. Have to work on the eyes, eyebrows, teeth and hair, but keep running out of memory...

Added some quick bra & baby-doll-dress straps in PS because he seems like the type

Hey RawSunlight, you have a really cool sketchbook! I think my favourite is the one with the mountain and the tree, but I also love the last one. Great job!

**ivar_sn** · 09-08-09

wow.. cooling off is really cool..
nice stuff
waiting to see more

**Etcher** · 09-08-09

Great new stuff Herman! I'm a total fan!

The Giraud-Williams Space art reminded me of something so I made a ZBrush Fractal of it - I like your Giraud-Williams Space

That's cool Spaceman, very... transcendental. It's even more trippy than the original...might have to try that with some of the other ones.
Really like the negative space created in the middle, it seems to have some strange importance

You'll have to tell me how you did a zbrush fractal?!

I bought a copy of Twisted Brush ages ago that had a 8point & 12point kaleidoscope filter... my guess is that would be pretty way out too

And a very old version of Kai's power tools had a vortex tiling filter too, but that might be bending the space-time continuum one quantum step too far

Thanks for your take on it, buddy

Some time back talk was started on the boards about creating a fractal plugin like Xenodream for ZBrush (or ask the dev to make a plugin taht would work with Zb and convert to OBJs to ZTLs} - I still think a plugin like Xenodream would be cool with ZB
Xenodream (some images created by the program)

and this one would be cool in ZBrush

I digress,
To create a ZBrush Fractal you need a graphics program that does the following to your Zbrush image
1. copy the image and paste as a new file then mirror
2. using the same image again paste as a new file and flip
3. copy the flip in step 2 and mirror
you should have 4 files now
4. Now create a new file big enough to hold the four image
5. Then copy and paste each image in order into the new file
6. If have Grid aline them up and flatten and save file

WIP in need of feedback - are they just too weird???

this is the beast of burden for the alien rider below... only really started to get some -head and 1st set of shoulders detailed- when doubt started to creep in (not least because my lovely wife said, 'what is it', and i had to do way too much explaining!!!

Anatomy is still a little unsettled; trying to work out how an one-eyed, 8 thumbs-for-legs physiognomy works is quite a bit more challenging than my inital b&w sketch made me believe

It will have a large quirky shaped saddle along with the saddle bags.

A roughed out from-zsphere'd wip of the alien rider, testing form

Put together a hideously rough composition; beasts of burden to be grazing on the ground plants. Was to be looking down from a vertiginously high view point at a patchwork of rice-paddy-like terraces and strange giant plants, but i couldn't get the sketch to look decent in a zb render...only been using zb for a couple of months and feel like i've completely overstretched myself!

All the individual bits are strange & alien but (maybe) just about believable, but I'm starting to suspect that putting them all together in one piecemay be beyond my ability to make work...
to remain positive, i have to believe that once the doc is laid out, I can hopefully photoshop it till it works, but I'd really hoped to do as much in zb as I can

btw he will be clothed, but one nightmare task at a time, eh...

**Grot** · 10-08-09

really like the plants in the last composition pic, great stuff.
