Does anyone know of a bug in Zbrush that causes your retopology to be deleted? This has happened three times to me now while retopologizing, I cannot seem to find a cause, just that randomly some of my work will vanish and the whole application will revert to how it was a few minutes ago. What I mean is that as I am…
Hello I heavily use Zbrush in my work. I only use Max and Maya to make simple base meshes and use Zbrush to do most of my work, I texture in it as well. Here are some WIP shots to show what i have so far any critiques and comments are welcomed. I'm currently working towards making this environment Concept (Not Mine) Block…
Hey, I started using Zbrush a week ago its amazing but I'm having problems when normal mapping. I've sculpted a squid type creature that I'd like to rig and animate for a game. I've sorted the uvs but every normal map that I create in z brush is just flat blue.... I've also exported a low res mesh and a high res decimated…
If you want to use decals in combination with baked lighting you will need to add a few lines to the Engine config. If this sounds like a nightmare then read no further.. but this one has worked for me in the past. You search your UE4 directory Unreal Engine\4.x\Engine\Config There's a BaseEngine.ini that you open up. You…
I think there are two sides to this. 1. Not understanding the tools and so you use wrong tools for the task. Or simply not properly. Like not changing Z Intensity and such. This is actually not so hard to fix. Watch a few livestreams or timelapse videos to get ideas. Then try to do the same. 2. Not understanding the…
Firebert: ZBrush 3.5 is pretty good with reimporting meshes and such, but your workflow does make a lot of sense. I haven't seen any resolution issues in the latest version of Z, although I can't actually remember ever running into them in the previous version either. There were some real quirks with importing meshes in…
Zbrush is tough on your system, BUT on my system it can handle more polies than in Max. I can get a good 10 million+ in Zbrush on my crappy PC (I've never had a reason to go past 40 million on my good one, but it handles 40mil without a lag). If I put these parts in Max though, my pc cries haha. Expect more polies out of…
Have both subtools visible, and select the highest one on the subtool list. On the Remesh button, there are three smaller buttons for x/y/z; I find it works best to turn them all off. The new subtool it creates should be a bit of a blob, but should encompass both shapes. Select this new subtool (make sure the originals are…
Hey guys, I'm currently doing a character sculpting project at University this is my first time sculpting using Z brush. I'm having some trouble getting the hands right on the character, Originally they were created using zsphere on the original block out, but I had some weird problems when I changed to dynamesh so I had…
Hi All, I have a quick question about getting an alpha design to have plenty of depth when it is applied to a plane in ZBrush. I have been attempting to stamp my alpha design onto a plane in ZBrush using Projection Master as per the first couple of minutes of this tutorial: http://eat3d.com/free/zbrush_stone My issue is…
