zbrush a quick question on alpha brush

NAIMA

Hi ... recently I saw a video of zbrush on main forum where it explained how to use the alpha to make very good mesh 3d extractions like ropes, links, ringchains on a mesh ... but I can't find anymore that video , it is nor insert mesh , that is another thing I mean just the alpha and also I would like to know where coudl a find some custom made presets = I also remember to have seen once a thread with a lot of user made presets from chains to ropes to barbed wires , to buttons to seams etc ... I can't find that thread either anymore , unfortunately I had changed pc and I lost all my bookmarks .... prhaps some can help me find them again?

thanks a lot ...

Not sure if this is what you're after or not...

Tiling Textures with Brushes in Zbrush

Oh good god, I had no idea ... that's really nice!

NAIMA

yes that was it thanks .... Why I coul't find on the main forum ...

Hello all , I remember that also sidened to this feature I saw a forum post somewhere ( I think it was zbrush forums ) where several people did upload their alpha presets to create new interesting shapes that varied from the barbed iron spikes to ropes , to strings , to rivets , to leather seams etc etc... unfortunately as said I lost the bookmarks and can't find that as well , perhaps someone remember that thread where all those resources were collected? Or a place where those could have been uploaded?

thanks for any answer...

No are not there.... Where specific for the alpha roll brushes ... And very well made actually , not just generic alpha maps...

I did and those are not the custom preset for alpha roll .. as I said already , those are just alpha textures ...

I mean alpha roll presets tileable for the Alpha roll feature as in the video above ...

Chase

Ohhhhh I'll keep looking

NAIMA

Finally I have found it ....

But its not for the alpha brushes as I remembered but for the 3d brushes ...

Insert Multi Mesh Repository

and if not wrong

those are the basic tutorials for using those brushes right?

Chase

Yeah those are the tutorials I've been looking at for insert brushes
