Texture Master and other ???

[Diane]

Hi all,

I bought ZBrush a while back and more recently got the new upgrade. I bought it after seeing such great work and going through the website etc.. etc... but I am still quite confused by it.

I loved the TextureMaster script and got that but now it doesn't work in the new upgrade ?? Is there an updated version or is TextureMaster built into the upgrade and I don't get it.

I also asked previously about help on texturing the Daz models and Aurick pointed me to a texturing tutorial but it was too complicated. My problem is that the Daz models have 2 maps, head and body. I am struggling to get the same colour/textures to match up. There must be a way to do this. If anyone knows a good tutorial that is specific, step by step, I would appreciate it.

I am sure there must be a "penny dropping" moment for ZBrush and I haven't reached it.

Thanks for any advice/help

Diane

Hi Diane,

There is an updated version of TextureMaster included with ZBrush 1.51. It's in ZScripts\Utilities.

Regarding the texture mapping, it is complicated with characters like Michael, Stephanie and Victoria. I would recommend creating a base skin texture that can be applied to both the head and the body. Then, when you do your TextureMaster work, simply avoid working in the transitional area of the neck. This way, the textures will match up with only minimal adjustments being necessary in Photoshop.
