Here's What Zbrush Can Do

[Renaylor]

Poser model is the Neftoon Gal by Neftis with textures for the Soiree Noir Evening Dress by me done in Zbrush 1.55b. I can only imagine what 2 can do :) http://www2.zbrushcentral.com/uploaded_from_zbc/200404/user_image-1081180704tzw.jpg

Those are lovely. Great work. Did you save them and apply them as a 2d texture map? If so I would love to know how you did it. I love using ZBrush for texturing but haven't worked out how to save the textures as a 2d map. (I thought the problem is that I use texture/functions that are particular to Zbrush and can't be saved out). Hope that makes sense.

Lovely work.

Nice spangles. :tu:

Looks like the sort of gal I could spark a match off. Does she smoke?

I used a flat material color and then used a noise filter brush and then adjusted the lighting to how I wanted it. I used the grabber tool and then adjusted the height and width of the texture and then saved it as a psd and bmp. I had already constructed my uv map for the dress in uvmapper pro. All I did was go into Paint Shop Pro, convert it to jpg and added it to the pattern folder. I then painted it to my uv map and saved it. I am sure I could have done the same things in ZBrush but as time was of the essence and I had to get this dress released , plus I am new to this program I took some short cuts that were easier for me. As I get into version 2 I am sure I will not need to jump to any other programs. By the way I used a glitter noise filter as a bump map in poser to further allow the sequins to stand out. I hope this helps :)
