Hi there,

As far as Xmas presents are concerned, heres mine for the community:

it features some 16 bit alphas, Zmats, Zlights, and some silly textures. i hope at least some people enjoy it, as my ISP is probably gonna kill me for the traffic;)

Have fun

Cheers
Oliver

EDIT: the alphas are mostly made for the Decobrush and the directional brush (you might have to try different draw modes to figure out how it was meant to be used.)

#2

to showcase how the alphas are intended to be used i made a sculpt:

the left mesh was the starting point, you see that it is obviously a bit inflated. This was on purpose so i had enough “flesh” to get the decobrush on in projection master (i preferred to subtract form over adding form in this case).
All changes you see on the right mesh were done in PM via decobrush with above alphas. there is almost nothing else involved besides a bit of smoothing now and then.

Thanks Erklaerbar.
These are fantastic, a wonderful gift.
I have learned more in the last few hours with your
materials and lighting than I have in months trying to
figure things out for myself.
I strongly recommend any newbees like me take a look at
these and their effects on one another.
Thanks again for a great gift. I wish I had something to offer
in return, but until I can please accept my sincere gratitude
for your generosity.

troy, wolfie, arlem, elarcano: I hope you will like it, youre welcome.:slight_smile:
aminuts: hope you got it, just checked traffic, was 60 GB in one day … probably will need to take it down soon.
Clyde: Glad your having fun with the mats. I certainly had some fun with them too.

Of course youre all free to distribute the pack and parts to others, as long as no money is asked for it. I think a user section in the wiki is planned in the mid term future, so it will probably be available later from there.

Hi,
You might find RapidShare to be helpful.

Their FAQ:
Upload-Limit: Unlimited! (Max. 100 MB per file! Split-Archives allowed!)
Download-Limit: Unlimited! (Some files have 100.000 Downloads!)

Which UPLOAD RULES have to be followed?

No files that are not allowed to be shared. (no illegal, pornographic or copyrighted files)
Number of downloads: Unlimited. We have files being downloaded more than 100.000 times.
Which DOWNLOAD RULES have to be followed? (Terms of use)

Free users have to enter some letters before the downloads start in order to have the permission to use the infrastructure of RapidShare for free.
Free users may only download a certain amount of Megabytes per hour. If this amount is exceeded, a message will appear.
If a free user violates this terms of use, RapidShare has the right to permanently ban the free user from the RapidShare network.
People writing programs with the goal to violate our terms of use will be made fully responsible for the financial losses/damages.
Is there a traffic limit for premium users?

For 99.5% of our customers, the answer is “No”. Actually if you buy an account, you do not have a traffic limit enabled. However, if you download logs show more than 20 GB of downloads within the last 3 days, we will automatically apply a traffic limit of 5 GB per day to your account. If your account has a traffic limit, we will check how much you have downloaded in the last 5 days. If you have downloaded more than 25 GB (5 days * 5 GB = 25 GB), the download is not possible. You can check your premium zone if there is a traffic limit enabled for your account.

I have a slow upload- and/or download-speed! What can I do?

Our network-connections are far from being full. We always buy more bandwidth than we really need in order to avoid bottle-necks. Neither uploading nor downloading is limited! If you still have a slow upload-speed, try choosing a different network-path for uploading your files. You can choose from three different network-paths in the upload-form. When downloading files, you can select three different download-paths as well. If all paths are slow, the only thing you can do is to call your local provider and complain there.

What are Premium-Points?

Upload your files in your Premium-Zone, and you will get points for downloads of your files. You can then convert your collected points to free premium-accounts. (Check “Convert points” in your premium-zone.) You can also extend your own premium-account for free. You will get one point per download if the downloader is a free-user AND your file is bigger than 1 MB AND the downloader has generated less than 5 points in the last hour. This rules have been introduced to protect us from abuse.

Can I resume broken downloads?

Yes, but only if you own a Premium-account. With a Premium-account, your requests are sent through more complex server-routines, which also support download-accelerators. Those programs support resume of broken files and even segmented downloads. This means, you can download the same file with many streams, resulting in higher download-speed.

Which download-accelerators can I use?

Right now we have tested the following programs successfully: GetRight, FlashGet, GoZilla and IDM.

Your system complaints about that I am already downloading files or that I have already downloaded too much. But I did not download anything! Whats wrong there?

Our system checks your IP-address in order to count the downloads. If you are getting this message and you really did not download anything, then you are using a proxy-server, which is used by other people as well. Even if you have no proxy-server set up in your configuration, there are many providers who force a transparent proxy-servers between you and the net. If you do not believe us, go to other pages telling you your IP-address (for example http://www.myipaddress.com.) But what can you do? You have to disable this proxy-server. If you are not able to disable the proxy-server, the only solution IS a Premium-account. Premium-users are recognized by cookies, not by IP-address. Unfortunately we cannot disable our IP-check, else people would download so much that we would have to close down this service completely. I hope you understand our situation in this matter.

I have purchased a premium-account, but your system does not recognize me! Whats wrong?

Please make sure you have enabled cookies on your system. Also make sure you do not have software installed, which blocks sending of cookies. Some firewalls for example like to do this. You do not HAVE to accept cookies, but you will have to enter your login-data for every file you want to download, if you do not accept cookies.

Can I browse your big file-archive?

No. Not everyone wants his files to be seen by everyone. In order to protect privacy, its absolutely impossible to get files, which URL’s you do not know.

Can I delete my uploaded files?

Sure you can! After your upload, you will get two links. The download-link, which you give to everyone you want, and a delete-link, which you keep for yourself. Just click on the delete-link and your file will be deleted immediately.

How long are my files hosted?

No limit. Nevertheless even we have to clean up our drives from time to time, so we will delete files that have not been accessed for 45 days or longer. Premium-users don’t have to worry about this. We NEVER delete your files until you cancel your membership.

What are remote-uploads and how can I start them?

By using remote-uploads, we will download the file for you and upload it automatically to RapidShare. In your premium-zone you click on “Remote-Uploads” and add your URLs there. We will then download the file for you and re-upload it in your premium-zone. Normally this will work very fast as we have really big bandwidth here. Imagine you have DSL10000000 at your home… Thats fast, isn’t it? If the server with the file is very slow, our download will be slow as well of course. Please notice that we will automatically abort downloads taking longer than 3 hours.

Can I use remote-uploads with authentication as well?

Yes, thats possible. Just use http://LOGIN:[email protected]/file.zip and replace LOGIN with your login on that server and PASSWORD with your password there. We will login on that server with that data then. Please do not use your RapidShare-Login, this is wrong! Your login-data is safe with us. After you have finished any remote-upload, you can delete your remote-job from the list. This way you will delete any data about the remote-upload itself, including the login-data you have given.

I use remote-uploads, but the files are just very small! What is wrong?

Many services, like RapidShare as well, use mechanisms to disable download-managers and direct-downloads. So if you enter a normal RapidShare-link, you will also get a very small file (and not the file itself). But if you use the direct-download link, or an URL with login and password like http://LOGIN:[email protected]…746274/file.zip (with activated direct-download of course), the download will actually work! So make sure that the link directly leads to the download. (P.S.: No, there is no sense to upload a RapidShare-file to RapidShare…)

How many files can I upload at the same time via remote-uploads?

You can manage up to 100 jobs at the same time. This means, you can transfer up to 100 files in parall

thank you jacques, i have uploaded it there and changed the link. If there are problems let me know pls.

And to everyone who is having fun with it, please post your images to this thread. Im keen to see what others do with it:D

Hey Man your materials look awesome but the total file size sucks- 90 mb,

why dont you distribute them in parts like alphas and mats all in different zip files for downlaod, I dont think mats will be so heavy?

its only textures and alphas making it heavy? isnt it?
seriously 90 mb takes hell lot of time, hope you can do soemthing about it, because I am really liking you mats and interested in them more then any thing else.

Hello Erklaerbar!

Hello Erklaerbar, have you start a good 2007?
I hope! :slight_smile:
For the gift, when I try to download the package, after i click on the “Free” button, Rapidshare write:

"You have requested http://rapidshare.com/files/9259683/ZBRUSHCONTENT.zip (92857 KB).

Your IP-address XXX.XXX.XXX.XX is already downloading a file. You have to wait until it is finished.
Premium-accounts can download many files at the same time. Get your own Premium-Account now. Instant download-access!
If you are not downloading anything, you are using a proxy-server or a shared IP-address. A Premium-account solves this problem as well. "

I try to make the operation many times, but I’ve got always the same result!
Actually I don’t downloading anything, I’m not using any proxy or shared IP-address!!!
So, what did I do to download this File? :frowning:
Thanks again! :slight_smile:
