just doodling with ZBrush

Only a few minutes to modelize these simian heads and render them. The modeling tools are awesome to change quickly the expressions !

Well, thought hmmm, why the heck is Soquili getting a different reading than I did, so I double checked and here are the results... no different really... yup, it sure chews on that processor...

First one is with ZBrush 1.51 full version...

You may want to check this out a bit further Ivan... What happens is... when you open ZBrush to work with/on something, the moment the app is opened your processor is working 100%... until you close the app... it does not fall back down to say 30% usage or w.h.y. when you sit back to look at your latest procedure... the explaination given was this was a heavy duty intensive graFX app... sorry, that doesn't cut it... so is C4D, PS etc, yet this 100% usage does not occur with any other app, other than when it is really working on some task of course... naw, I heard about this bug, tested it out for myself, and yup... 100% with ZBrush open and me doing no tasks, just watching the resource meter...

Now, this said, I really don't have any idea whether or not this issue has been addressed with the latest release of 1.5, I have the first 1.5 release.... it is also interesting to note that this CPU usage problem cropped up in Poser a while back, to which they wrote a patch for said bug and voila... happy user group...

So I am now going to download the latest version and check it out... will get back to you on this... until then...

cheers

btw... cool grafx there Ivan

and a special thanx to Stu... who pointed this issue out to me a while back... damn you Stu hahaha , just jok'n.... but, if you have managed to save my wee processor then I owe you a beer bud [beer chugs to Stu ]

second one here is with the 1.55 trial... I dunno what this all means, but it sure looks like my processor here is working overtime...


hmmm...

No problem Gidge ,you can thank Maya,thats where I got the info,then I thought hey you use Z brush so I passed it on.I didnt post in here because I didnt know enough about Z brush to back up my claims,and I have nothing against the app and didnt want to start a flame war because of it.



I am not allowed to drink bud,buuut I will accept the family car ..hahahaa

Great looking simians Ivan.

ZBrush really is a CPU hog. Opened the system monitor then started ZBrush. The attachment is the graph during a very short modeling session in ZBrush.
