But yeah, that stuff does look kind of neat, but it looks like it would be imprecise compared to doing the same thing in photoshop (though it's hard to tell at that speed). Not to poo on cool new features or anything, but I hope they've got more new stuff up their collective sleeve for v4.
I doubt it'll happen, but I'd love to see them support importing PS brush libraries for texturing, and the ability to paint on multiple textures at once on a triangular mesh with a normal map applied to it. Thaaaat would be cool. And voxels. And a pony.
I WAIT EAGERLY!!! with anticipation! >D
August is going to Rock Ur SOX Off!
but featurewise it looks really good what they are implementing
Spark
I'm not sure how usefull this can be since you don't really know what kind of images (copyrights) you are using. We'll see anyway.
If it connects to some kind of pay as you go, i-tunes style library, I'll pass. Even if the master library is free the sheer amount of recycled materials is going to get really old, really fast. OR is the leg work still up to you to find, sort size and categorize all the images. That's where the time needs to be saved...
It looks handy, hopefully it will be intuitive and they won't be reinventing the wheel.
Considering its a free upgrade to everyone that currently owns ZB3, I'll take it. If this was all that ZB4 had to offer and it was a paid upgrade I'd pass.
It does indeed look great but I have some doubts it will improve much my workflow, at least not as much as Decimation and GoZ. But looking good and can't wait for Zb4!
yeah buddy exactly what I was wondering too
it looks alright, I mean its not voxel sculpting or anything that we havent seen before it just looks like it might make things a little easier if its done right.
Blend modes?
i'm pretty sure if you use the proper combination of tools in sequence, you will open a portal to another dimension.
yeah that was the highlight for me
seriously!
edit: Hmm, its called Cooliris now :P
Nothing with the video texture wise gets me all that excited because I can already do all that stuff in bodypaint except the one thing that looks cool where they basiclly used a liquify tool to edit the projection and then project. Other than that, you can do all these things in other programs. I fear that these additions will make the UI that much more crazy and intimidating.
hard to tell from a sped up video but the liquify tool seems to have a really cool reconstruct-like brush? The reconstucting seems to be smoothing as well as correcting the smears.
I am going by what I saw a little over halfway through the video on the baby's eyes. As far as I know the reconstuct brush in photoshop's liquify doesn't smooth like this?
have to agree with everyone so far..
Don't care about an image library.
wheel looks cool.
waiting to see if they address
viewport navigation ( customizable or at least a mudbox option )
more interface improvements ( beside the wheel )
Ability to zoom close up without having to mask out the model to size
Perspective
crossQuoting from ZBC. one of the few reasoned responses that aint from a wetting the pants schoolgirl
pixologic ( fuck that name fucking grates on me. they're based in anything BUT fucking logic ) have a long way to go before they've proven they can implement a toolset that is coherent within a fluid environment. seeing something this far reaching in scope gives me the heebie jeebies imagining all the ways they might've fucked up the structure and access to such functionality
ZB4's making me nervous. show me a video of how you've fixed the bullshit in v3 please and then i'll start dampening my seat
Everything in that video is pretty wank, except the wheel and the image plane texture projection (which I use pretty much on a daily basis at work, through a ZPlugin) to lay down a base for my textures. I wouldn't use ZBrush to actually paint my textures. That's why I have Photoshop.
Oh Noooo...
TBH zbrush is already cool apart from the weird perspective, but that not really a huge issue for me anyway
Really looking forward to the other stuff too and very interested in other features they have.
Hook your save into SubTool master's save and that'll stop the on save crashes.
Is there a way to "hook it" or do you just mean to save manually via subtool master?
