Chaserm2: Thanks man yeah shadow box works by when your draw a mask that mask turns into actually geometry. I have indeed used spotlight not my favorite thing really. I enjoyed the old image plane better however spotlight is great for projecting like human skin from a photo on your model. Its also good for sculpting…
You can go this way by using dynamesh. It works really well for experienced artist who are busy with character development. For those starting out, not so much. The limitation with this technique is not being able to go up and down with sub division levels which is really handy when beginning. Here is a Brinko style figure…
Had a look at it again, unfortunately still not at workstation. You will need to change the Max Points in the Stroke Palette. Take a look at the following video on the pixologic classrooms about 7 minutes in first. http://pixologic.com/zclassroom/homeroom/lesson/painting-techniques/ 'Curve Editable Polypaint' It is for…

Con is that the hair works in the concept because the woman has darker features and a more ethnic look, so the dark contrast and straight hair works well for her. On my model it…
@ZacD: If I'm not mistaken, Adam said the mouseover image thumbnails are planned. The list is a great idea, the question is how to determine what's 'active'. It'd be cool for the user to have (easy) control over the displayed threads...things like only display before a certain date, only posted in in the last 12 hours,…
Zach flower has fantastic advice, especially with lighting as your piece seems way too flat. Adding more shadows to add more depth to the piece will help emphasise objects. What you should also always do is use your entire dynamic range, showed below is Zachs photo but with the levels adjusted to use the entire range (hold…
Cheers for the comments guys! Really appreciate it yet again! @ZacD - I'm going to submit this to the Marketplace and see what Epic say. It's going to be free if it does go up there, if not then I'll release it here :) @Zepic - Sure I'll do a little breakdown of my lighting in this scene. Expect a post soon! I'm pretty…
