a clean modern UI... sort of amazing how intimidating zbrush can be just on the basis of its UI, when in reality its not that hard to learn. Just takes a lot of poking around.
I for one like that Zbrush's UI looks like the kind of UI an episode of CSI about 3D modelling would depict. In fact, bring back the goofy spinning mesh map generation.
So true man. I can't tell you how many times I get frustrated by the simple things... like how file is NOT the top leftmost menu item and I have to hunt for it everytime because I forget that the menu items are all alphabetical. The only reason I love/use zbrush so much is because I customized it enough to the point where…
haha, yep, I do that too, way to often xD another thing thats bugging me is that zbrush isnt really technically a "window" in the way your OS sees it. its just some sort of weird fullscreen app thats on top of your desktop.
Sure zbrush is powerful. But the UI is horrendous. I learned it in school around 2007, I still dread using it till this day. But Im force to use it at work. I hope they eventually streamline the UI since Im stuck with it. List of things I find annoying in Zbrush. - obj export with detached faces (BUG) - Alt key zoom when…
I find it odd that they would advertise the bundle by showing a sculpting session with such an awful framerate. No amount of kickstarter-like elevator music is going to make anyone think that it is an intuitive way to work ... All that said, I am still very curious to hear more about this stripped down Zbrush.
Zbrush releases have always been non-annual / random, unlike most other 3D apps. They'll show it when they think it's ready. Personally I just hope we get an overhaul of the UI. The current one has become so bloated that if it gets many more buttons and sliders crammed in it may collapse into a singularity.
Viewport (canvas) navigation. I have 3dmax set up to pan, zoom and orbit on keys 1,2,3 like cinema they activate with one press which stays until you click a hotkey for another function. ZBrush students find this way easier than the cntrl alt combo (we use GoZ straight away to scale the export from z and set up the pendel…
The UI is what business types refer to as a "bar to entry." This is a good business model if you're trying to limit the number of users but not if you're trying to build your user base. If the UI were better (and I don't think there is any custom configuration that can cure all its woes) and you didn't have to trick the…
Why not just use middle mouse and alt-middle mouse to pan/zoom, then the scroll wheel to zoom? I can understand (sorta) if your using a mouse which is awkward to click the middle button, but if thats the case, i'd give another mouse like the logitech anywhere mx mouse a try, setting very easy to press button right behind…
