@Bollalillo You mean 'than'. Its a different tool, it modifies geometry based on a layered normal map (you don't need to know how it works, it does that for you) whereas MudBox is purely a sculpting tool. Z-Brush is different, you may prefer it as the geometry gives you a starting place. That said, Z-Brush has a totally illogical interface and is owned by the most nazi 3D company - AutoDeath.
sort of disappointing it only covers making a still, that sort of takes away the purpose of the tutorial focusing so much on rigging and animatability. was this a late decision?
@ZycoDigital Hm, all of the texturing was done in PS, but i guess the technique was well covered. All in all i was very impressed, though an animation would have been a better fit.
@vailmaster5 Thanks for telling me about this. The system requirements for both Maya and 3D's Max say it needs Windows 7 Professional. So would the home premium version not be compatible?
@gipro1 any windows 7 is fine. I run windows 7 home and I have zbrush 4r2, maya 2012, max 2012 and cs5. they just need 64-bit is all which xp/vista don't do
@psychogod Nope. Talent is just a word for minimizing all the hard work an artist had to do to make it that far or to make it sound like it's out of reach to everyone else. If you do anything for thousands of hours you get good at it, simple as that.
@ryanhasse Hmmm, I don't know, what you are talking about is Experience and that is what creates talent. Obviously talent wasn't what created some of the greatest artistic pieces from what you are saying. Talent isn't something you are born with, only something gained with hard work and personal creativity. If you lack it, all you will be making is lifeless pieces of work.
@psychogod The actual definition of "talent" IS that it is something you are born with, that is what the word actually means — "a natural ability" — you can't gain it through experience. This is why most artists are against the use of the word.
@ryanhasse@psychogod I know I shouldn't, but I wanted to throw my two cents in. Talent, definitively, would be a natural ability, which does not necessarily mean you are born with it. It's an uncultivated ability. But people in america don't speak English, so these days "talent" typically refers to someone who is skilled at a particular craft, unspecific to how or why. So, you are really arguing the common (incorrect) use of the word against the proper (definitive) use of the word.
It doesn't take a lot of talent to create something like this at all. You just need to know your goal. Just that with talent you don't have to work as hard as someone without, but it all come down to time. To create animals and humans for example it is more important that you know the anatomy of creatures than having any artistic talent. It is harder to learn something like concept art, since you create straight from your mind in that discipline.
@momopirou Are you stupid or just trolling? I'm seriously not sure.
But in case you are slightly stupid I shall explain it to you. When you create something like this(the video) you usually go by the concept art provided by your concept artist. Thus the CCartist paints is from his/her mind. The 3D artist usually does not do anything except minor changes from his/her own mind. Then there are also many cases where the CCartist and the 3Dartist are the same person.
@momopirou But the point is that it all starts with concept art. You do not just start making things in 3D, unless you are making conceptart in Mudbox/Zbrush. But that is mainly for character development and not really useful for hard surface projects.
@bezoro2008 you dont make this without talent, i can assure you. but looking at those with talent, im sure it takes some hard work on top of that talent.
@nights312312 You should look at the conversation above, anyone can do this given enough time. And enough focus, that's the hard part for me. I can never focus on one thing to learn, I'm currently learning programming android apps (java), C++, webdesign, 3dsmax and windows 2008 server. And lots of other things just because I see it and think it's interesting.
I'm not "good" at anything of course. But some day I will know it all I feel. Some things I have to prioritize.
That is equally true about almost anything in the world. Of course you could be the most of anything if you can focus and have enough time. It's so relative to say something like that because most of the time you cant focus and you dont have enough time and the few people who actually succeed do that because they can deliver results with little time based on their pure talent. Like this guy..
@nights312312 How can you tell though? There's no way of knowing how much time he spent. He's well, not in his teens, he could have spent a very long time on this. Only thing you could possibly judge his talent on is how he presents his work. You can't say this is talent because there's no proof.
Talent isn't a word you should use when saying something you're looking at is good. It's for describing a person.
@SnoweyMan111 Whats your point? Either he is a natural talant or he acquired enough experience as any naturally talanted person would have coming up with something like this which if so probably took a considerable amount of time. I can sense that he have a good general ability to predict favorable design which either comes out of experience or talant, both which are respectable. I think it's time you show us what you produced (which i predict is nothing).
@nights312312 Woah you're aggressive all of a sudden. You seem to view my annoyance with the word talent for something negative about his work. No, not at all. Talent implies he had it god given. If it's not talent he's just better than that. And he has shown more possibility to improve.
And yes, I have done almost nothing, I'm just not focused enough.
This last comment I made was just pointing out that you have no way of knowing anything about him from this video, except what he produces.
@SnoweyMan111 Ok, so say that it takes a large portion of passion to create something similar. Passion and talent are words which do have a lot of correlation.
@nights312312 Not possible to learn without talent? Well many physical skills, such as being a really good sprinter, to be the best at that you need the right genes.
There's almost none though, that's why it's important to not see the word talent as a compliment and more of an excuse or "wow you learned this quickly" statement.
@SnoweyMan111 sounds like an overly inflated ego there. Telling someone they just can't, it's what it amounts to. Doesn't mean they can't try, world is full of surprises. I'm sure your have something to insult me with but that would only confirm my suspicions. Having some seemingly innate talent always tends to help but is not always required. So instead of putting others down because YOU can't or don't want the competition try just getting better your self Ne?
@lonewolfsinger2k Maybe you should read the whole conversation. Click "all comments" at the bottom of this page and ctrl+F a part of my text. Then go to the original comment and follow the discussion.
We're talking about the word talent. People claim that this is talent, while I have argued that it might as well just be very hard work. Some people are insulted by that. While I consider it a greater compliment than calling someone talented since that would be "god given".
@SnoweyMan111 I have to agree with you - There seems to be so many people out there who get praise for making space ships, 'utlra-soldiers', mechbots and yet more fucking demons yet none, not one of them, can model anything real. It really pisses me off that these guys with no life sit in front of software like this like some form of religion and they only make more low energy shit. Why can't they model family members, a sculpture or something we know? Because they are technicians not artists.
@3Deity Because, I can walk around and look at scummy fucking people every single day. I spend countless hours learning a craft to create things that don't exist, rather than recreate what already exists. By creating photo-realistic people you're nothing but a fucking camera. I can go to Walmart and buy a camera to take a picture of your naked Grandmother's Browneye if you want realism, or I can create fucking Epic Demons with Chainguns mounted to their dicks covered in Spiky Demon Powerarmor.
@3Deity Actually. What I admire most among the things 3d artists do is that they can put something they imagine down and make it look good. Please don't say you agree with me, you must have confused my comments with someone elses. I was just arguing around the words people use to describe the artist.
Making real stuff is really hard. Really, really hard. It's really admirable, but making things like this guy. Which would most likely be a game character, can't be played down imo, it looks good.
@3Deity though i agree with you on photorealistic works being seriously demanding on the know-how side of the artist, to exactly pin down, whatever his motive might be.
still i´d like to remind you, that it´s ones imaginative power, that is the most basic thing in art, which afterall, is about expressing what´s on ones mind! the technical know-how to translate it on canvas or on a sculpt is always hard work, if you´re teaching it to yourself! i´m sorry for my english, it isn´t my first language
@3Deity Your view on this is incredibly naive. Sure, maybe some artists will have bad proportions, and they will make fantasy models instead of humans because they feel more comfortable that way. But to say that fantasy is easy, as a statement, is unbelievable. Just take Avatar as an example - do you think the artists who created those characters were taking the easy way out? No, they are top-line artists who know anatomy, facial expressions, skin texture, etc like nothing else.
I don't like this DVD. Mike explains the reasons and shows some handy technique for making hard surface models. However if used as a tutorial it is terrible. He will regularly use a different concept mesh then the one you got on the DVD and will redo areas in between recording. Which is bad as you need them as reference, you also get very few times to see how well your proportions match up. I wish he would have used a simpler model with a better more thorough explanation.
@VanKrixsz101 it's up to you really personally I use maya. Not that it better or anything it's just my preference. Just get some trials and find which one bests suits you.
...hmmm..personally,i prefer Vitaly Bulgarov technics for Hardsurface Modeling instead ZBrush. All Hardsurface,from Concept to Final Mesh can be made in XSI-Softimage Tools.
