pxgeek, I have no idea why, but as the MOST problematic of the matcaps, I took all of your suggestions and it was the very first time that ZBrush didn't crash when I hit the 'F' key (as in 'F' for.... :) .... Frame). One thing I didn't do was change the texture in shader 2 as it came with the original matcap that I used to…
Hello friends. This is my first post here on polycount. The first sketch is based on a simple shield made by humans. The second is a magic shield designed by dwarves. It will light your way and you protect. Hope you enjoy! :) Sorry for the english!…
Lately I've been working on improving the functionality in my character designs and think more about how parts would attach and be worn in layers. This is one of the costume variations for a female dwarf warrior living up in the cold northern mountains. The next step is to settle on a color scheme and start blocking out…
Good point on the video. I just thought it would be more fun to see the progression but next time I'll make sure to post a pic as well. And thanks for the reminder of the scale. That's true. I somehow forgot that recognizers are huge and the scene definitely dwarfs it. I'll try and work up a new concept that better handles…
Dwarf fortress might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I highly recommend giving it a chance! It becomes a little easier to swallow if you download a graphical tileset. Also, follow some tutorials!

Has anyone seen this? http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/content/expedition-grizzly-3909/brutus-and-me/album-01.html This dude has been apparently been raising this 800lb black bear since a cub. If only he was a dwarf. Any who after some poking around it looks like there is actually going to be a show about as…
Over the past year or so, I've attempted multiple environments. I gave up on every one when I would come to the realization that what I was attempting or more importantly, how I executed my attempts, were never going to work. I was always neglecting major per-production steps that act as the foundation of any environment.…
Drumroll... I am new here. Ta-dah! Though not up to par with the forum or the general awareness, I have a question that I am not sure has been addressed, but forgive my ignorance for not having a more intimate knowledge. I did perform several searches prior, both here and on Google. I am interested in offering up a mesh to…
