Hi Thanks for the links. Mark

Hi Guy's Both my brothers just got their copies a couple of hours ago , so I think i will be getting some questions from them soon and hope their both in here soon , posting. Mark

Hi KurtF Great things to know . Thanks for the info .I got a copy for my brother cause the deal was insane to pass up . He's never used a program like this I hope to open his eyes to the great things you can do . He uses a cad program of some kind so I think he'll get right in and love it if he gives it a chance. He's got a couple of sons who expressed that they would like to learn it if he doesn't.My other brother has a few other 3d programs and I have always tried to get him into EIAS but even at this great price he wouldn't do it so. I said oh I can own them and let them use them. If they don't use them I want them back. Thanks Mark====== I think this software can change lives!!!!

HI Dave , Thats a fun one , Loved it. Any info on how you did it ? Great ! Mark

HI I was even wondering when on windows what would he render to. I just do tests mostly, and render to Quicktime and I think you have to have quicktime pro to save , is this the same on windows. I'm just trying yo look ahead and have some answers for my brother. Thanks Mark

Hi the great deal on V8 at EITECH got to me and I got 2 new copies and had one send to each of my brothers. One uses a Mac and has photoshop and after effects, the same as me, so no problem. The other has a couple of different windows machines the newest one some kind of laptop with a AMD 2.5 GH cpu 6 gigs RAM and 1 gig video ram , windows 7 64 bit. He doesn't have photoshop or something like after effects. So this got me wondering what kind of freeware programs could help him or is this just not going to work.I was thinking blender has some kind of compositor and is Gimp going to work as photoshop replacement. Thanks for any help. Mark

HI AVTPro Thanks Mark

Hi Tomas I reconverted with object 2 fact and reversed normals and guess what ,------------Big Drum Roll----It worked , and it also displays correctly in hardware or software , I've been wondering if I had a graphics card problem. Thanks alot Tomas Mark

Hi Tomas I tried a different model of a face I made from a sphere and this one is facing the camera in the camera window but when rendered you see the back of the model ------strange. I Think I need to mess around with exporting from Zbrush alot more. I know I'm doing stuff wrong because I was just watching video on Lynda .com where the guy doing the lessons says you should export at the lowest level . But if I did that the model would not look right it seems to me. But maybe I'm just not understanding things . I have not tried export at lowest level so I'll try that see what that does. Mark BTW Thanks for responding. Any help tips from anyone who uses Zbrush will be helpful.

Hi I reconverted but in the Normals section of object 2 fact, I Checked the calculate Normals checkbox and it now looks right using hardware

Hi I just did this model as a test to import from Zbrush I used Object 2 Fact to convert and my Question is why model doesn't look correct if you use the hardware engine but looks right if you use the software engine . It renders correctly with either one selected. What's going on Thanks Mark First photo is hardware

Hi AVTPro Yeah that was someone else . I noticed they have the go Z working for modo now so I will have to set that up to since I have modo. Do you bring your models into EIAS from maya or Zbrush , just wondering which would work best or is there no difference. Mark
