*sighs* Modo going CC would pretty much kill it's userbase, especially if Adobe forced you to spend about $50 a month, only to never develop it, while it would be better than Autodesk getting their hands on it, The Foundry's product line going into the cloud would still be bad. Subscription only price models were the main…
i think zbrush will run very nicely on it, not sure if it even goes past 4 gigs of memory yet so there should be very little bottleneck if any. :) plus i was told you can install 8 gigs in the new macbooks...? general question would be - are you OK with running these apps under OSX? pixologic doesn't exactly seem quick in…
I don't know if that's the right place for some feature requests for ZBrush but I will post it here for now. Reason for posting that thread: 1. I hope that this thread will motivate other ZBrush users too to post some feature requests which will be eventually be seen by some staff members from Pixologic. 2. I had already…
Hi guys, I recently acquired ZBrush 4, because the few persons I know who works in 3D design told me "Don't use Mudbox anymore, it's a cheap ZBrush, take ZBrush". One of them "lent" me his ZBrush so I could try it before spending money on it. It took me time to get used to the way we navigate into ZBrush but I got used to…

I've been having issues recently with my sculpts, where some of the vertexes get corrupted and turn into long, thin spikes sticking out of the model. Usually it happens when switching back and forth between subdiv levels. I tried googling the problem and got some hits over on the pixologic forum, but as is kind of par for…
Voxels are a way to store a cloud of points in a grid pattern. Pixols are an abstract concept invented by Pixologic that has little relevance to how most 3D artists actually use zBrush. It refers specifically to meshes/data placed on the canvas rather than the actual 3D models (zBrush calls these "tools"). The majority of…
Depends whether the ptex or prt realtime stuff is ready for primetime soon. In which case I think ptex as levels of resolution would be used instead of mipmaps? The same way tessellation levels can be used to handle LOD geometry levels?…
Hey Kwramm! There was an undocumented function of the ZfileUtils.dll that allows you to launch any kind of program or pyhton script. I found the function while inspecting the dll with some tools, hehe. I can't remember the function right now, but once I get home I'll let you know! I'm not sure how happy Pixologic will be…
Gonna have to agree with Joao a bit. Don't get me wrong, I can understand the sentiment of wanting to be in a classroom setting, but really with the resources available via the web/bookstore...it's kind of a no brainer. To keep it short, after the traditional 4 year college bit, I went to a trade school that focused on…
