There’s been lot’s of ZBrushing in the log lately, but I’ve continued working on among other things my Katana character piece at the same time.

ZBrush + LightWave 3D = True!

It was time! Time at last to bring one of my creations into another renderer than ZBrush. I doodled up something in ZBrush and moved it into LightWave 3D for rendering this time. Below is a rendering of my only 2470 polygons large mesh inside of LightWave with a displacement map. It did actually take…

Chupacabra – Rendered Update

A small update on the doodle I posted earlier today. I wasn’t completely happy with the look I got from the default rendering settings in ZBrush, so I spent some time reading up on the different settings and how they worked. So I just wanted to post a new version of this doodle with some…

Cleaning Out My 3D Closet

Time for another blog entry from me. I was taken out of business for a while after going through dental surgery. Nothing I can recommend. Huhuhu! Anyway, I will continue posting on the projects I’ve been working on lately, and probably have one or two of them finished during the next week. But today I…

ZBrush 3 is Here!

The development phase has been going on for years and what originally was supposed to be ZBrush 2.5 now finally hit the streets as a more significant upgrade, and got the 3.0 extension instead.

Here’s my current state of her. I’ve finished the eyes and textured them. I’ve also started paint the textures for the skin. There is still some more work…

Cooking Fibers Resulted in a World of Hair

Alright, this piece has continued to progress. I’ve mostly concentrated on the head since the last update. I have tweaked the mouth and eyes a bit more and also finished the ears and attached them to the skull. I still have some finer adjustments left to do on the facial area before I am completely…
