Dunno if there's a thread about this so I decided to create one. So, what do you guys think of Zbrush 2019 new features? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Rmrq2xt7P8 http://pixologic.com/features/ Basically: - Zbrush renders but with Photoshop style filters - Snapshot 3D to create models using alphas with a boolean-like…
"ZBrush 2019 is a free upgrade for all registered users. To learn how to upgrade, click here." didnt find anything for future upgrades yet tho. but talking about 30 bucks a month as being one of the most expensive tools is a little far fetched. we are speaking about 360 dollar per year. That is not expensive by any means,…
Some of the folders have changed places to the ZData folder, most of the UI stuff I believe is now located in the ZData folder. I can give you a more precise answer when I get home on that. All of your ZAlphas, ZBrushes and what not should only need to be relocated to the corresponding 2018 folders. I'm sure @cryrid can…
@pior Wait, so 4R7 is the most stable ZBrush after all? I'm about to buy a ZBrush soon to leave my old 4R6 (you can guess why I'm using that old, 'cos I'm planning to BUY it now, lol...) behind for once and all... but I remember even hearing about 2018 being slow performance-wise, so I'm kind of worried a bit, to spend 895…
Where are you getting 900 a year from? It’s 900 forever. If you’re talking about getting constant access to the latest then it’s 360 a year, which doesn’t seem that crazy to me? The idea that people are mad with zBrush after 20 years of free updates is amazing.
@pior The only drawback with 4R6 I'm using, is it being a 32-bit, so it can't use RAM more than 4 Gb, but other than that it has provided me all the features I need. Yet I haven't had many performance issues either, but a 64-bit ZBrush could boost things a lot, I think. I've also heard that crashing and unstableness with…
If you don't currently own Zbrush and have to buy a new version, a 2 year subscription (4 x 6 month) doesn't look that much better, and while they might be preparing to charge for upgrades, which I can't blame them for, there is a good chance you'll get updates longer than than. (I might be wrong, but I don't think there…
Right right ! 100% agreed. I should probably have mentioned that I meant it more for the cases when one has full control over one's pipeline. Thankfully enough Zbrush data is "raw" enough, allowing for easy enough transfer/subdiv recreation too. But yeah, no perfect solution here for sure.
