Modeling Madness
Jan. 3rd, 2011 02:44 pmNothing as cool as being a clothing model. I recently downloaded ZBrush, a 3D modeling program, to just dink around with. It's fun!
I started by watching a couple youtube videos about how to use the stupid thing, cause I couldn't figure it out on my own for the life of me. Once I learned how to create the initial poly-skin, it's been pretty smooth sailing!
Oddly enough, I'm finding 3D modeling easier than drawing 2D characters... for some reason I can more easily sculpt a realistic looking body than draw one. Probably has to do with the fact that, you know, we see things in 3D and I see bodies/people more often than I see cartoon characters or drawings of people.
The program itself is sweet and actually really easy to use. I really only use 3 or 4 brush types so far but I'm far from finished. I've got a basic body done... I'm afraid to start the face. I've NEVER been good with faces... or hands. I almost had the feet but those got warped somehow and now they're kinda flipper like lol!
Either way, I plan to have a neato model done eventually... perhaps my dA account will be resurrected?
