ZBrush3 Offline Reference as pdf

[emell]

Hi Folks,

while everybody is enthusiastic - me as well - about the release of ZB3 there is still one problem for me: there is no reference handbook.
Since I cannot be online all night long I collected a lot of stuff from zbrush.info and put everything together inside a big fat pdf with 480 pages. Since I find this very useful I thought maybe other ZBrush enthusiasts will find this handy as well and I would like to offer this document as a free download from my webpage.
My only concern is if I am allowed to do this. I believe it should be no problem. In a short foreword I state that the content of the document is not my intellectual property and that I am only the collector.

So what do you think? Is someone interested in this file? Do you think it is legal to offer it to the community?

Thanks and best regards

Marcus

I would definatly be interested. I haven't picked up ZB3 yet because of the lack of documentation. As far as weather anyone will have a problem with it, I can't see why...

PLEASE....PLEASE!!!!

I would love to have this, but I cannot help you with the legal question. I guess it's ok, but you may well ask over at pixologic.
One idea though, out of experience: don'tb make it public-public as it'll eat your bandwith with voracious hunger. Ask people who are interested to send you a pm or a mail, and then give them the adress.

Are you "the" emell whose work I saw at Rendero, who deleted his gallery (oh artists! why are you so severe against yourselves!) and who restarted ?
I guess so. Know that I like your works. Also the ones you deleted (grumble).

[Aumakua]

Yes please! this is very kind of you buddy :tu:

[seanforsyth]

As long as you're not claiming to have written it all yourself, I can't see any reason why this would be illegal, by all means - post it!

[aminuts]

I would email...support at pixologic for permission.

Hi folk

I am happy if you could use the file. I uploaded it on rapidshare which might be a little unconveniant but it will rescue my webpage traffic:

Download Link (http://rapidshare.com/files/33618472/ZBrush3-Offline-Reference.pdf)


I mirrored it on my webpage but although I don´t mind you to visit my site please try the rapidshare link first:

@Aeneas
Yes, you are right. I am "the" emell that you remember from Renderosity. Thanks for that and for liking my old pictures. Now I am back as you can see ;-)

Have a nice day

Marcus

[wolfie]

thank you very much for this :tu:

[hobo]

thanks Marcus.

I tried to download the copy from your site, and got a "document is corrupt" message. That was trying to open the pdf in firefox, and right clicking save as ..

The file from RS is fine though, and very good.

Schönes Pfingsten :)

[raymi]

Thanks Marcus!!!
It's fantastic.

Thank you Doc :) Nice work at your web site. I wish I could have seen your work at Renderosity but am glad you are posting here. Thank you for taking the time to put together the wiki in pdf form. It makes it much easier. :tu:

[Argyll9846]

Well done mate! This is the kind of stuff Pixologic should be giving users as a matter of course and shouldn't be left to end users. Come on Pixologic!

[emell]

Hi guys!
Thank´s for all your comments. I reuploaded the file to my webspace. So it should work fine now in case the rapidshare link is malfunctional.

Have a nice day

Marcus

[marcus_civis]

Thanks Marcus, :)
Very useful!

[highlander_72]

Thanks Marcus, this is great!

Pixologic owes you for this one, after all you did the work they should have done before releasing Z3.

Vielen Dank nochmals und herzliche Grüße aus Berlin!:D

PS: Falls Du es noch nicht selber entdeckt hast und es Dich interessiert, es gibt ein brand-neues deutschsprachiges Forum rund um CG, welches sehr von deiner Web-Präsenz profitieren würde. http://www.pixelplausch.de/ (http://www.pixelplausch.de/) Alles aber noch in den Anfangsstadien, also noch nicht viel Betrieb.

Danke für den Tipp. Ich kenne das Forum schon, bin aber noch nicht dazu gekommen, mich da zu engagieren. Aber wir sehen uns dort bestimmt bald.

Beste Grüße

[mir-vadim]

Thanks a lot. As you I cannot be online always and this pdf really helps me.

[highlander_72]

Alles klar! Bin dort unter TheRazorsEdge registriert, nur so am Rande. ;)

Vielen Dank nochmals für das offline Handbuch, das war wirklich ein toller Zug von Dir ,das zu erstellen und auch mit uns allen zu teilen!

Viele Grüße aus dem verregneten Berlin,
Felix

[UnCommonGrafx]

For Blinkin' sure: THANK YOU!!

Not everyone is sitting within access of the net and this will go a long long way to keeping me sane with questions about this new Beast called ZB3.

With laptop and pdf happiness,
Robert

Emell,

Thanks for the WIKI .pdf link. Really generous. I wish (selfishly) that you would also post an English version of your PhotoShop CS short cuts. That looks excellent.

[BCEmcke]

Thanks, Marcus. Sehr nett von dir. :tu:

I do think the build in reference manual found in Z2 was much better than any PDF, too bad they removed that from Z3. A PDF would be great.

[Heiner_hink]

By compiling that PDF you saved my day. Since i am currently dont have acess to the internet at all times, this one saves me lots of time of pure guesswork and experimenting.
Again,
Thank you!

Hey, is it possible for some one to host it on their website or use other file sharing service? My ISP dont seem to allow me to download stuff through rapidshare. Thanks a million.

I would really like this as I'm on dialup at home. I'm on my laptop now but (high speed. But I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do on Rapidshare. It says You want to download file but I never see a working link......puzzled
