Here is the first set of skin and wrinkle brushes. Please give me as much feedback as possible! I have many more to make, but I would like a little beta before I make them. Don't expect these to be setup exactly how you want them. Feel free to customize them for yourself. I didn't even try to adjust many settings for them since there are so many ways to sculpt skin and pores etc.
Nice tech circles, I'm obligated to believe you used inspiration from Pendulum's "In Silico" lol
Thanks a ton btw, I've made great use of your carve brush.
I also mixed it with your crevice brush to get the smooth stroke of the carve and sharpness of the crevice brush.

Most of the tech circles were inspiration from crop circles.
Btw if you send me any brush you've made combining brushes etc. I'll upload them, giving you full credit of course. I was actually going to suggest this earlier. I was going to make a contributor brush section on my site named after the creator so if anyone is interested.
Also since I had such a huge response on more stroke brushes. I have about 20orso that I am trying to finish up now.
I have now added rar packages for each set on the site for easier downloads.
It might be a while before I make any more brushes. I am trying to finish some work I began long ago. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1551420&postcount=3662. But I will continue working on the screws and bolts brushes. I am modeling each head and baking a heightmap for each brush. So it takes time In the meantime enjoy the brushes!
Loved your first ones, then was kinda with the techy ones which just seemed to be converted deviantArt photoshop brushes, then you go and knock it out of the park again with these last sets. These are a great resource for the community, thanks for taking the time to put them together!
I apologize I made a mistake when packaging the tech and skin brushes. I addded the icons instead of the brush files. This has been fixed. So if you downloaded either one of those rars download again. Once again sorrys!
I was trying out the skin brushes last night and I had a question.
They seem to add alot of form in addition to adding light surface detail. is this supposed to be how they work?
I've been messing around with placing the neutral zone in the right area, will report back when I have it working right for me
I did not mess with the settings too much when I made them simply bc there are so many techniques for creating skin. I will check the settings I saved them at. They should be subtractive at the minimal and the z depth turned really far down for subtle detail. I'll check them tonight and maybe post some updated ones that'll work better right out of the box.
Some have asked the best use of the skin brushes. Instead of me spending the time re-uploading them, my advice would be to change the brush to Inflate, reload the alpha from the pallet, set the intensity very low, turn the draw size up to what you need and set the Z to Zsub. Sorry I didn't save them in this way, but its easy enough to change. There are a lot of ways to get good results with skin. Try that out or tinker with it I am working on the nature brushes now. I should have some finished soon. The first pack will be small. If anyone has any suggestions for what you want to see in the nature pack. Please let me know.
The first nature set is now available! This set is mostly meant for distant detail. There are a few closeup detail brushes as well. Let me know if you would like to see anything different in set 2.
Just wanted to say again man that these are seriously appreciated. I am about to start a big Jungle project and I should be able to give you some more legit feedback pretty soon.

Thank you for the Nature Set!
I have some ideas for a much bigger Nature set that I have started. Hopefully I can finish it soon. I could definitely use some feedback and brushes you might need for your jungle project. That would be great.
MikeDunnam, thanks for the Nature brushes! It all helps. If you plan on expanding this set, more Plant detail brushes would come in handy. Tropical, Tree Leafs, etc.
I have been slaving away in my free time (not too much of it lately). I will have a very large, hopefully about 20-30 Terra brushes, lots of terrain detailing, cracks, rocks, bulking etc. Hopefully I can finish them tonight or tomorrow and I will post as soon as they are done. Honestly the part that takes the longest, other than making the alphas is actually making the icons lol. But look for them very soon! And just so everyone knows, I have been keeping track of requests. There have been soooo many hits. And I also want to thank the many donations, small and large that I have received. I have tried to respond to as many of them personally as I can. It's definitely a nice motivation to keep this going. I do plan on a few other surprises soon.
Just so everyone knows I have a baby on the way. Actually due in a few weeks, so if I drop off the grid for a while, this will be the reason. But eventually I will be back .
So look forward to some new brushes very soon. Btw over 15,000 downloads of individual brushes and almost 7000 downloads of the packaged brushes so far! I didn't even know that many people knew zbrush haha.
This set actually took me a long time to make. Hope everyone likes it! This is by far the biggest set yet. I believe there are 36 brushes. I lost count...
And please keep the requests comin! I have a huge list of ones to create now. But they will start slowing down if you read my post above
I have some brushes in the making. It will be a new set of Natural Brushes including more leaves, wood grain, wood stamps, wood carving stroke brushes and some more. If you would like to see anything added to this let me know.
And yes, wood stuff would be cool.
Don´t know how much more skin stuff you can make, but skin detailing brushes/alphas are always good.
I can make more skin stuff, such as wrinkles and cracks for lips and crows feet etc. But I will be honest. It'll be a while unless I get inspired one night
These Brushes are great, thanks a ton! I just wanted to quick ask about the skin brushes. I'm not sure if they work right. All of the other brushes automatically use an alpha, however the skin brush alphas aren't loading up with the brushes. It may just be me, but when ever I use them they just act like the standard brush. Thanks again though!

There have been a very select few people that have had problems with the skin brushes and some others loading alphas. I haven't been able to figure out the problem. All I know is that I created them using a licensed version of R2 and have tested them in R3. Some people that had the problem were using R2 as well, not sure if they were legit or not. I did get one guys problem fixed by uninstalling and reintalling Zbrush. Anothers was fixed by upgrading to R3. Is it only the skin brushes that have the problem?
Cool, I'll trying uninstalling and re-installing then. I can't quite update since I'm in the middle of a project, but If re-installing doesn't work, I'll try updating later on. thanks again though!
Cool! I came here to see what the deal was. I was having issues with them as well... Might just have to upgrade to R3. Been lazy. I was only able to get the Stroke 1 set and the drag brushes working.

And once again... ENJOY!

I will be adding to the stroke brushes soon. I have been tinkering with gravity quite a bit. So those are on the list.
