zBrush Materials

Talbot

Hey guys,

So I've been following the eat3d zbrush tutorials recently and I've noticed that they use a lot of nice materials while modeling. For example something called RS_GreyExt. I've tried to find it online but it doesn't seem to be in the pixologic material library. Does anyone have this material or know what I'm talking about?

Also though, I'm just curious what materials you guys use when modeling.

Sounds like the Ralf Stumpf materials from Gnomonology. If I recall correctly, you had to buy them although the links to them seem dead.

EDIT: Nope, still working. Here they are, under the textures tab...

I'm using the default grey material when sculpting since it gives the best feedback of how the model actually looks.

For presentation I use different materials depending on the model. Some material works really on hard edge stuff while it looks awful on organic models.

Remember that the materials can look completely diffirent depending on if you use preview or high quality render!
