Ok, after much experimentation here is the pipeline for fur textures: Zbrush -- polypaint the hipoly model (tip -- brush > automasking > colorMask is extremely useful for blocking in color without messing up stripes). Fiber mesh a short fur layer which is mostly uniform. Fibermesh draws color from polypaint. Fibermesh a…
I just recently saved a .psd file of a texture I was working on that had a good number of layers as I was closing Photoshop, after which I shut down Windows. I am not sure if the file saved completely before the shut down. I later open it and all the layers are gone and only a black background layer showing. Using bridge,…
Ok guys, I created a first draft of a version that supports Layer Comps. Could you please check if this is what you are looking for? There is an extra option in the configuration window, called "Use Layer Comps as groups" If you enable this option, you will be able to use layer comps in stead of folders. Disclaimer: It's a…

Glad to see someone starting out with so much passion and motivation. Finding spare time to do this work is pretty tough when you've got a family! For your next speed sculpt I'd recommend finding references that show the head in a simplified form, something like the Asaro head or a Loomis head model to start with (you can…
Okay. I am excited now. Especially for later seasons. I want to see missiles, drones, and quadruped robots all fight. I want to see MIT Cheetahs fight to the death. (that might be decades away but I don't care.) Ohh. Imagine if somebody did a rocket fuel flame thrower. That would be so rad. High powered lasers would be…
