zbrush: two one-hour head models

[EricLyman]

whoa, one hour each? Looks great. I like the top one especially. I don't know anything about Zbrush, but was this nurbs or polygons?

Neither, zbrush is weird

Yeah, Zbrush is pretty fast. Those objects are about 250k polys at the end of it, though, but there's a lot of talk about using it for generating normal maps for game use, and I heard Weta Digital are using it as a concepting tool to supplement sculpey maquettes. (the high polycount is my reason for not doing full figure models, my computer can't handle it :))

Re: the objects being nurbs or polys; while you're working with them, the objects are polygons - but as soon as you 'disengage' them they become 2.5d: there's still depth information there, but you can no longer manipulate them as you would in a conventional 3d package. Basically they work with this idea that pixels on your canvas have both X,Y and Z information - they call this 'pixols'. Your object isn't lost after being turned 2.5d though, since they store all 3d objects in a 'tools' panel, so you can go back and re-edit it.

This might not make much sense, but check it out - As Maxsmackage says, it's something else. Well. He said it was weird =) I don't think it is, but it's different.

all the best.
