Dude, I know exactly what you mean!
I'll be honest, thing is I'm a little scared of the full Z workflow, I know I should dive in, but to be honest I have not had the chance to explore it all.
Ive made some pretty decent Zsphere models that Ive sculpted for a trial but for a "product" I go to my old known workflow.
Shows I'm getting old!
Also Ive gone into doing effects with fluids and particles (i'll post up the work when I can, or the film as its a short, or at least a link) so coming back to orgaincs, well I need to refresh, knowing what I need to do for the base then going in. Then again I have made me mesh a lot lower that I normally, or should I say, I would have.
I want to use this as a simple mesh, thats then going to have most of the work in Z as Ive been lacking there and really want to get into it, we've geting mud at work so I'll have to get that nailed down, then again I may push for Z.
Cheers
