Ah, thanks for your kind words, Bazza, and I wish you and your wife peace and happy memories of your little poodle, Rosie .. we are so fortunate to have these dear little creatures grace our lives. ![^_^ ^_^](smileys/anime.gif)
As to deviantArt – I recommend it highly – and while I love my paid account, all the accounts, including the free ones, are very functional and have excellent galleries to show your work – because there is space for commentary below each image (after you click the thumbnail to view it) it can be very good for displaying short tutorials too.
I also use image shack for storing images I want to link to.
I’ve had my eye on ZBrush for some time now – on my wish list!
. My impression of ZBrush is that it will be high-poly, as are Vue and Poser (which I have). However, for game-building, my present need is to model all sorts of low-poly items, organic and not*.
Yes, [b:7ts3a7n9]Alan[/b:7ts3a7n9], some tutorials please!
I know it’s possible to produce wonderful organic results, even while keeping the polys under control, and I want to learn!
Thanks for all the good links Bazza, I’m going to have fun with those.. I’m sure I will enjoy the tutorials you mention. I like both written and video tutorials.. they are useful in different ways ![^_^ ^_^](smileys/anime.gif)
Well now I’m all fired up.. and I have to go to work
(heh heh.. patience required)
Here are a couple of high-poly characters I did in Poser will have to be redone totally for game andgt;_andlt;

[b:7ts3a7n9]Edit:[/b:7ts3a7n9]Ooh… watched one of those videos, and see there are good possibilities for reducing the polys .. wow! ![^_^ ^_^](smileys/anime.gif)
Actually, I’d really like to do models of Finny my little cartoon goldfish character, and his friends [img:7ts3a7n9]http://home.earthlink.net/%7Ebetterpaw/page_01.htm[/img:7ts3a7n9]
Finny’s World
