zbrushcore and custom brushes

thechocokirby

as I understand from the publications, zbrushcore cannot import custom brushes, but nowhere does it explicitly say that you can't create custom brushes. In fact, it says that zbrush can open zbrushcore brushes, so it's implied that you can create custom brushes in zbrushcore.
I was hoping someone with zbrushcore can confirm this for me, because if I can't even re-create my favorite brushes (like the orb cracks brush) I have serious doubts about the usability of zbrushcore...

tl;dr can someone confirm that I can re-create my most used custom brushes in zbrushcore?

guess I might just have to go straight to pixologic for an answer

Hi, any update regarding this? I can't find much of a discussions regarding how ZBCore crippled ZB workflow by removing alot of stuff.
It 'looks' kinda ok, but info about more advanced topic like brush customization is almost none.

I tried tweeting to them, but no reply yet. So far it seems like the only way is to buy it and find out...

Hmm..probably everyone still on holiday I guess..
But buy to find out that's kind of a strange solution though..I remember ZB got demo version for us to try, but it's not the case with ZBCore?

Hi, I don't have a copy of ZBrushCore, but in this free course Michael Pavlovich talks about the possibility of saving custom brushes, as you can see from the table of contents of the course itself. Hope this helps.

The problem is if you try the demo version that's full zbrush, there's no demo for zbrushcore alone.
From what Lorenzo pointed to, it does seem like there's enough customization to be useful. I don't see a snakehook brush, but alas.

That's a huge problem...
