Anything new in nowaday Zbrush for texture painting ?
Zbrush once was my only soft for everything. Both sculpting and textures . Nothing procedural but so easy to do textures natural way with brushes painting in cavities and otherwise on prominent things + quick edge masking. To be honest I am not even sure why I switched to Painter and Designer . It's not much quicker ,… -
[Maya] Baking animation clips in Time Editor removes translate values?
Hi! I'm currently working on my first mocap project, and it's probably not the first time something like this has not been planned properly. Long story short, I did mocap for a character that's way smaller than me, and we didn't do our due diligence with measurements. So we have a character that has to move further than… -

You must attach a ZSphere at each end of the “root”… -

BUT dummies are pretty good at straining out those weird bone linking issues. In general any time you have a multi-branching tree you want to link the chains to… -

This is more the case at studios that have stability…
