Re: Zbrush 4R8
musashidan my example isn't using an unnecessary step, it's comparing two methods, merging the hand to the arm using booleans and then merging the hand to the arm using dynamesh. Dynamesh is making a mesh that's way too dense even at a resolution of 8, there are extra steps I could take to rectify that but then that's… -
Re: Zbrush 4R8
@Justin Meisse I can definitely see the potential in what you're saying and it's great to see all the clever workflows people come up with every time ZB gets new tools but again, in your example, I might be misunderstanding what you're doing. Your final step is to DM the arm anyway so why boolean it first? Your broken rock… -
Re: Zbrush 4R8
How may it be useful? That example is very specific, it wont work for all situations or even most situations. For now there's no other way but to use DynaMesh. -
Re: Zbrush 4R8
I'm not a fan of the fact that it's still virtually impossible to edit existing multi-mesh brushes, and now also the multi-alpha brushes.If you want to change something, you basically have to make the whole thing over again.I made some multi-alpha brushes, for example, that now have much larger file sizes than they need… -
Re: Zbrush 4R8
@pior or better yet use the right click nav mode. It's far better than the default. It orbits around the cursor, you can orbit/pan zoom directly on the mesh, so you don't have to find an empty part of the canvas or use the canvas border zone. It feels a lot more natural and similar to trad 3d navigation. @Justin Meisse… -
Re: Zbrush 4R8
Yep, I agree completely Indik said: A thread was linked for pics only, as an example that this workflow is not specific and it works great for a lot of things. BTW, I`ve just discovered a new option in 4R8 Dynamesh - SubProjection. It allows to cut polygon count in a polished dynamesh from 3-5 millions to 100-200k with… -
Re: Zbrush 4R8
I don't want to piss on everyone's cornflakes... I like the hard surface tools in ZB, but I still wonder how 'efficient' they are in a pipeline, even now with all the updated tools. I don't think it's ever going to overtake precision modeling methods, e.g. what happens if you need to make big changes to a hard surface… -
Re: Zbrush 4R8
Musa, Indik : I am fully aware of these various workarounds and tips'n'tricks, been using good old Zbrush since version 1, I'd say that's confident enough :D What I am trying to get at is that if one has access to an objectively faster and more responsive workflow to do something (talking mostly about creative use of… -
Re: Zbrush 4R8
So I made sure I read through the entire thread before diving in with my own opinions and a question. Firstly I like how they "cleaned up" the UI - pixologic also fixed a UI error (white bar) that has been plaguing me off and on for a few years now that has no "official" fix. I also always appreciate their updates. That… -
Re: Zbrush 4R8
Please, leave your inner sceptic at home :) There`s no tool that would work for all situations. This workflow (booleans->dynamesh->polish) was discovered long before 4R8. Here`s the whole thread discussing it with lots of high quality examples. Now you can do all of it within Zbrush.…
