ZBrush - Week 16

MAJOR break thru today! Proper UVing in ZB!!!

This is huge because it allows me to actually implement all the unique capabilities of ZB (Normal, Bump, Displacement, AO maps).....OUT of ZB. In my case, to the Blender.

GoB - Week 12

After a few stutters, got GoB (Blender counterpart to GoZ) working this AM. I feel like a 6-year-old who just learned how to make popcorn.

*Can't believe it's only been 12 weeks. TBH the weekly learning hrs are only 1.5 at night, 2+ on weekends.

"The Pareto principle (also known as the 80/20 rule, the law of the vital few, or the principle of factor sparsity) states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes."

Also applies to software. 80% of results from 20% of software capabilities.

ShadowBox

ShadowBoxing in ZBrush. Week 6.

If I recall, ShadowBoxing was what made me give up 3+ years ago. Makes total sense now. Must be because of new version of ZB.

"1984"

Never read it. Started last week. Given the new political climate...kinda chilling, but engaging given its age. Costco has been selling pallets of copies of the book apparently.

"Freedom is Slavery"....

Pressure sensitivity in PSD

PSD wasn't recognizing pressure sensitivity (in my old Intuos 3), even after installing latest drivers.

Solution:
open Wacom Table Properties
double-click Device icon
change whatever existing Tablet Mode is, to the other option
re-open PSD
