Damn that's cool. If they updated the interface to a more conventional system it would win hands down over Mudbox (IMO). They really should look into at least providing an optional interface that's more inline with other programs.
You know, feature criticisms aside, the user interface is quite impressive, it makes my phone look rather clunky and slow. So if anything, they've done a good job at the interface and the ease of use.
Window > Settings / Preferences It will open to the interface dialog, simply select which windows you want to open in the main Maya UI window as part of the interface, or as a seperate floating window. EDIT : These are my settings : -
ZB will be dead as soon as some decent competeing product gets released, the interface is just STUPID and counterproductive. I have tried to use it and all the time i get frustrated because the interface fights back.
All along for me the Zbrush interface has been a turn off and a hinderence . Ok maybe it takes a while to get used to but that is because the interface design is so terrible . I look forward to trying mudbox !
