EDIT: thanks for posting!
Yeah pretty much, that's why Pixologic hired the guy
September 20th then?
Can't wait to give a try!
i guess as said before its pretty much based on sculptris, which i really like its not voxelbased as stuf that untersects still intersects and i don't see them making holes (besides one intersting cut where he split the model, so maybe its doable) in the mesh, i guess its still "only" a dynamic surface no volumes, but still one awesome step forward
I wish they showed some wireframes.
Can't wait to try this out.
Would have liked to have seen how much more this can do with more exploration into concepting an overall form because i seriously kept thinking 'stop f-king with the face already'. not expecting a complete buildout of a form but how far it could be pushed; promotional material or not.
Either way, I'm pretty excited to try this out soon, and hopefully there's going to be a lot of people beta testing it again that share their awesome tips and tricks (my favorite part of ZBrush releases)
I mean it looks like a great workflow, but after "Unlimited Detail" I'm just afraid of voxels
Im looking forward to this, Especially for details on armor or something, maybe so that you dont get too much of a bloody headahce sculpting a chip on it.
But agreed with Firebert, I would have loved it if he took those shapes a bit more extreme.
Though i have to ask, Whats the poly count on one of those busts hes throwing out :S It would be in the millions' for him to get such smooth shit going on.
Could that be the reason he didn't want to do anything extreme? or am i just fear mongering over nothing xD
Unlimited clay is based off the ideas presented by Sculptris. Pixologic hired the guy who made Sculptris, took his already working dynamic tessellation engine, and refined it.
You define the density of your mesh but putting a maximum polycount for your dynamesh from what I recall. That means that if you want something pretty dense for details, it gets tricky to work with some tools like the move brush to adjust proportions for example, as there is no levels of subdiv anymore.
You can use the insert mesh brush in additive or substractive to do boolean operations.
20 more days of wait to try this out
If they could make that possible, I'd be VERY happy. If they're just gonna relegate this to a sphere, that's gonna be pretty sad. Don't get me wrong, though, I'm not saying it's a sad tool, just I was hoping I could use it on any mesh I throw into ZB
Totally agree man, I would love to see something like this added! That would really add a new level of freedom to ZB sculpting
Just think of Shadow box and the meshes it generates and you get a pretty good idea of what a dynamesh is, in term of topology. It's still a mesh made of quads and if you use the move brush too much, you will still get these ugly stretches. But as soon as you drag&drop on the canvas, dynamesh reproject all your sculpt on a new mesh that has a more uniform topology.
Start from anything you want > use the move tool to "extrude" a limb > remesh all > select newly created skin mesh > reproject all, and voila! Exactly the same result
(its great to have a shortcut for that tho. Which is exactly what Claytime seems to be!)
Remesh and Reproject are extremely powerful Zbrush features, I am always surprised to see them used so little.
I think what it does is dynamically re-mesh after density. Think of dynamesh as a marriage between the surface of that of zsketch with the voxel displacement and on the fly subdivision of sculptris. If that speculation turns out to be right, then you would control how dense your mesh is by how sharp you make your angles and how many you make of them.
It's great for prototyping, but i don't think you could use it as a base for your final production model, I am told people just redo their low based off of what they come up with in dynamesh
So finally they did what was expected. Copied Sculptris coding and pasted in to the up coming update called Zbrush 4 R2 "Clay time."
Who gives a damn tho, they do own Sculptirs now, so hay, I am excited.
Waiting for Sept 20th.
I'm very likely to buy Zbrush sometime in the next year.. Do you guys think Zbrush will increase in price when this update is released? Apparently it's increased in price with every update.. If that's the case I should probbably get in quick.
No need to wait! It's here already (got to say I cannot wait to see the new one-click solution in action tho)
