Modeling with Zpheres (practice)
-
Jonathan 480 posts24 Jan 2007Just getting used to the whole Zspheres workflow, it's rather neat.
I think it'd be an interesting way to quickly block out a chracter.
Need to do a lot more work, but it'll get there, after a long while
Here's an update:
I like this version much better, how about you?
-
24 Jan 2007yeah, i agree, its a nice wuick way to block out a character. wish mudbox had something like zspheres.
there's certainly some issues with you're guy here, but it's definitely a great start. the things that jump out at me first are the corners of the mouth and the corners of the eyes. the eyes seem to be angling upwards as they get closer to the nose. jaw seems a little wide, too, but that could just be a stylized character choice. keep going! -
Jonathan 480 posts24 Jan 2007Yeah,
There are some things I'm still trying to figure out how to correct.
I'd like to make a buff fisherman, yet have an ironic and cartoony twist (i.e.-some overly prepared, strong guy, with excessive amounts of fishing gear, and yet, his catch he is holding is a little gold-fish like fish on a hook
I think I should shrink the nose a littlle for starters, and yeah the eyes and mouth need a lot more work.
Right now I'm just working on modeling, but once I go through a few more tutorials on UV mapping and texturing, I'll add some texture to this model (when it's done) and of course my lil' lady bug -
Jonathan 480 posts24 Jan 2007Edit: Just put the update in the original post.

Claymation 600 posts24 Jan 2007It's looking good! I personally don't like zspheres myself. I'm just more comfortable modeling in maya. Plus if you plan on animating it, it's easier to get nice edge loops and a good topology in maya/max. I've seen some people though model the base with zspheres very quickly, then bring that into maya and fix the edge loops and UV map it, then bring it back into zbrush and detail it. -
Jonathan 480 posts24 Jan 2007Yeah, that is true, but thankfully if you use the "frame" feature and pay attention to them while "scultping," it won't be as bad.
Either way, I don't do too well with edge loops in Max or Maya, so Zbrush is fine with me, lol
Nah, I'm working on good topological flow, but I guess it's a learned art indeed. -
Jonathan 480 posts24 Jan 2007Another,
Maybe one day I'll finish something and make it to the finished gallery
