Used maya for the very basic block out of the model and imported to zBrush...this is my first time using zBrush so still trying to learn everything.

hi ozgalis. quite a few issues anatomy wise, if you're going for a lifelike human form. keep going with z though, its got quite a slow and long learning curve...i've found at least.

Yeah, as was said before, some anatomy issues, but all in all a good start!

Hi Oz,

never tried organics myself, BUT a bloody good first start mate!!

Im no expert but the femur section looks like the same length as the tib?? I just measured myself and get 0.52m sole of foot to centre of knee, then 0.40m centre of knee to hip joint. Maybe thats why it looks a little odd?? Though looking at the rear part it seems ok...hmmmm the side is the same as the front.

bigger boobs too..LOL just jokin.

Have you a real model to work off??? When I try my first I will be using one of my 3 sons multitude of action men. That way I can actually measure it.

Try this link mate...hope it helps

Bullet - Thanks I am on break from school for a week so I am going to try and either rework this one or just do a new one. As for reference I found a few photos from google that I used but they were kind of crappy so I winged most of it. I will have to check out the link when I get home from work.

murambi - what do you mean it lets you get away with stuff? sorry for the noobness.
