Whoa, awesome thread - Thanks

Here is a really handy quicksave plugin. It saves incrementally at the push of one button, you no longer need to five through the file browser and manually rename your ztools. Super handy!

CIEI3

Awesome thread - Thanks
How about to assemble here the standard blanks models. I mean that they were in position T and A pose. That is, the preform skilet. Any such topology will be on them. The main thing that they were fitted under skilet. That we could by taking this piece and start working with it. Then the topology, baking and so on. But the main thing not to deviate from the very posture and do not spend time to fix. I know there are online UDK skilet and base mesh.
What do you think about this?

leslievdb

cool links guys!

CIEI3: sorry but i`m not sure what you mean. What is a skilet?

Neox

sounds like a russian pronounced skeleton, but i'm not sure how this applies to zbrush. do you mean a zspheres rig?

CIEI3

I mean the basic model as the link here. http://wiki.polycount.com/BaseMesh
Just a set of basic meshes blanks in position A-pose and T-pose.

pior

Nice ! I had never heard of the middle mouse nav plugin before. Great stuff all around !!

leslievdb

CIEI3: if you have any feel free to share them
Pior: Yeah only discovered it this week myself ^^

Mossbros

Very nice thread, should be stickied. very relevant and has tonnes of useful information.

Undoz updated his Practical MaterialSet

thanks for sharing renauld, looks really great if you're using a cintiq

nufftalon

wow this is an awesome thread

MDiamond

Nice thread, tons of good stuff, subscribed.

I also approve the idea of sharing custom Zbrush UIs, just screenshots alone are enough to inspire the creation of Custom UIs for those into these sort of thing like me.

fearian

I just gave your left handed setup a try at work, Renaud, I love it! It's pretty much exactly what I've been looking for.

Renaud Galand

Glad to hear fearian!

Here is a script I use every time I make a tiling texture on the canvas. It eliminates the need to paint out the seam in photoshop. The document has to be on a single layer to work.

Not sure if we can pimp ourselves out, but I throw up timelapses fairly often on the ol' YouTube. I ain't the greatest artists in the world, but they may be worth a gander or two?

thanks for share friend

Took me a while to find this thread lol. I made a skin brush yesterday and just wanted to share it with ya'll.

The only setup needed is to go to the Alpha menu and set H Tiles -> 2

I just finished tweaking a new Skin Matcap!



I like this one better than my last skin matcaps because it was impossible to get a paler skin with them. I think the range on this one is much easier to control.

Enjoy!

Thank you so much this is an amazing resource!

Really nice rimlight matcap Hazardous, thanks!

Thanks

I just joined this site and its crew and I'm glad I did. Thank you for making this site, it is really cool and I have looked for a place like this. I'm sort of new in the 3d scene, and I'm loving it. I only wish I had checked this out earlier. Got myself some good software (finally) and I'm ready to start learning and doing art in a (for me) brand new way. wink:  Uncertain if this is posted correctly, but I add in a question to my introduction with my fingers crossed: Is ZBrush the painter and Maya, 3Ds Max aso the modellers? I know they all can do "everything", but is that a correct assumption? I have fallen totally in love with ZBrush, its UI and its potential are so intuitive I found it fun in a way no other software did.
