Hey guys thanks for the answers! Lots of good options there. I'll have to try some of them out tonight and see which works the best for me. I'm leaning toward the copy of the arm, or using layers. Nice to hear that a better solution is on the way though. I do love all the updates Pixologic has been making lately. One of…
zBrush is a must have imo right now in the industry, ofc you can use 3ds coat or mudbox but zbrush is use in mostly every big production and you can't open a .ztl with 3d coat ^_^. I think compare to Mudbox or 3D coat it's really about personal taste And it's cheap and you have free upgrade! I kinda feel like a commercial…
If you haven't yet heard, there's a new tool on Zbrush 4R7 called "Z-Modeler." It's great for low polygon modeling. I've started using this feature not too long ago and I'm able to get nice crisp hard edges. Right now the model looks like it's made out of dough. I'd definitely give that a shot. Look up tutorials on the…
It's such a strange trip going backwards, makes me want to cringe and also a little proud. 2011: This time last year, April/May 2012: And same months this year: The coolest thing about this year was that I got a couple million views from reddit, Pixologic put me on their twitter and facebook, and cgfeedback gave me a…
Have you tried just using UV master in Zbrush? Works pretty good for most models except hard surface stuff. Also there is no need to export to an obj file to get it into max. Just use GOZ. Here are the tutorial videos straight from pixologic covering uv master and GOZ.…
Yea, sorry for the somewhat bitchy tone of my post there. It's a situation akin to getting a great toy you've been looking forward to, and then not being able to get the batteries to use it until some time in the future. Zmapper is the only option for normal mapping in zbrush, and ZApplink is essential for cleaning up…
Zbrush is one of those love hate relationships. I would rather see Pixologic put some greater effort in allowing different kinds of keymaps or controls. Out of all the sculpting packages, I have found 3d coat to have the best in terms of navigation and brush control. If zbrush had that it would feel so good to use, but…
Some time ago Pixologic released new update for their awesome program zBrush. In this update they added a lot of cool features. And among them possibility to tranfer your model to Keyshot instantly. With all the polypaint information as *.exr texture map. These feature gave me an opportunity to finish one of my personal…
Finally posting an update. Ran into some problems with my PC, so I lost some progress, but thankfully I did backup a file that didn't go to far back. I'm working on the chair as well in ZBrush. Retopologizing parts and refining the shapes more. First, I'll have to reinstall ZBrush and reactivate it after I have Pixologic…
Lee, That all makes sense. I wish you the best of luck with this. My two cents on the sculpting package....ZBRUSH!!!!! That program is amazing. On top of the fact that I already think the program is superior and has tons of functions that mudbox does not, every update that pixologic puts out has some new mind-blowing…
