[sathe]

Il have a go at meat next chance i get ;)

[Ctrl-Z]

its not that easy to showcase the brushes :confused:.In a still image, I'd have to agree.

Have you thought about recording movies in ZBrush? ;)

[Intervain]

I love the pack Eklaerbar - really cool mats in particular:tu: :cool:

many thanks to all their materials to make available :tu: :tu:

[metamesh]

Hi all :) I found many of the matcaps on the forums here mighty useful :) and thought I'd share my Antique Bronze matcaps with you... nothing groundbreaking but maybe someone will like it. Cheers:

cheers!:D Lady, I was looking exactly for that! I love them! thx a lot :)

[Intervain]

:D my pleasure!

[modeller2526]

Amazing collection of matcaps, thanks for the share :tu: :tu: :eek:

[rasmusW]

..and .zip no.2

ps. i've posted the two first in the picture before, just thought it smart to gather them all in one place.

[womball]

How would you make a red meat mat cap? I have another anatomy study I want to present soon. I know your supposed to get the data from some photo, but can you tweak the settings, such as cavity intensity, specularity, reflection and more?

[rasmusW]

hey womball!

yeah! sure you can. that's what makes it so darn cool. you might have to give it a few go's, but i'd bet it's doable.
looking forward to see your project.

[sathe]

Tryin for the MeatCap now. damn its tough, cause the real material has so much texture variation. Ive made some progress though. Will let you know how it goes.

[Lucky_1]

Thank you very much guys/girls

here's my small contribution,
3 matcaps that I use to polypaint (modified versions of Adam Lewis's matcaps)

The 3 models above have the same layer of polypaint on them, only the matcaps are different.

Meat reference (http://photo.starnet.ru/Thematic_Wallpapers/Zhizn/Mir_ludej/Eda_i_napitki4/images/MEAT.jpg)

It may be as complicated as skin to get. You have SSS scattering, the muscle striations are visible in the crosssections, so it looks marble like. And you got these random holes. Also this will probably overwhelm all details in a sculpt. So you would need either strong lighting with rimlights, or cavity maps.

[kursadk]

thank you so much!!!

[demise]

Wow Great matcap textures everyone!
Just a question,
How come i use a skin matcap but i then cant paint on the model?
It just uses the matcap and not the RGB value?
Any help is appreciated.

[HD CG ADDICT]

it could be because you don't have colourize turned on in the texture panel

[demise]

I have it on... i am just trying to do a nice skin texture by starting with
a nice matcap but i cant put any other tones to the model. hmm

[demise]

When i hit colorize the model has a bunch of dots all over.
dotsqt5.jpg
How can i just clear all color and start over?

[sathe]

Hi Again guys, been a little busy with some other free content at CGChain to focus on matcaps so i will start gettin back into it with a relatively simple one for now.

What the crap was i thinking releasing that awful matcap yesterday.

Spent a bit more time and tweaked one. I wanted to make it brown.
brown releases Kabbalistic energy sources through the ZBC community....or something like that.
You can purchase these energy sources off me for $49.95

I wouldn't mess with kabballah until you know the talmud and are 40. Modonna is turning into a man and Britney Spears went crazy. Both messed with Kaballah!

Any luck with the meat shader?

[sathe]

hahaha i was being like Map to the stars Eddie :D

And as for the MeatCap, technically it should be called sonofa%*$*hardcap

Ive tried many different approaches and all failed. It might require too much texture to work but il have another crack at it.

[sathe]

Just had a look at our sites quota and **** you guys download alot.
I have enabled registration in order to download in the hopes it softens the blow. cgchain is a non profit site so can't be paying quota refils before the end of the month ;)

I have tried to "reverse engineer" some of the materials from Z2 to get close to the originals but anything with "glow properties or similar seems to crash. I had very few crashes in Z2 doing the same type of thing. This is as close as I got before crash, to the old "Meat Glass" which was great. If I can work out why it is so unstable with these mats, I will post the resulting Matcap.....:confused:

Good morning everyone, I have put together a nice cool looking matcap for visualising specular values on a zbrush model. this is a nice way to actually see how the specular value affects the model without all of the back and forth we used to do...so here is the pic and the matcap. Enjoy...

***** EDIT: PC AND MAC VERSION (ZB 3.12) NOW AVAILABLE *****

I finally found some time to throw these mats I've been working on together and post them. I've worked over a period of several months on the realistic skin shader alone (starting back in ZBrush 2!) so I hope you all get good use out of them. :D

A. Realistic Skin (quad shader) - Below I'll post a few directions on how to use it. It's a bit tricky.
B. Another skin quad shader. A bit more subdued than the realistic one.
C. Basic Flesh Matcap material.
D. Verdi Gris Bronze
E. Antique Bronze
F. Bronze with highlights - there's a couple small light sources from the sides in the matcap texture to give a little more interest.
G. & H. Sculpting Material 1 & 2 - I made these to try to come up with some mats which are good while sculpting in realtime.
I. Rusted Iron - I tried to upgrade Jantim's mats to work well with ZBrush 3 and this is about as close as I got so far. I'm still working on it, but I think it's decent enough to upload.

Here's the links to the materials:

KRAKEN'S MATS SET1 - MAC (http://www.loadedbrush.com/ZBMaterials.zip)

KRAKEN'S MATS SET1 - PC (http://www.loadedbrush.com/KrakensZB3MaterialsPC.zip)


MATS.jpg


And now for the explanation of the Realistic Skin quadshader. In the first image below I added a swatch of color showing the skin color I used. Obviously that can vary, but I find that color works pretty well.

Also, the shader is very sensitive to the light settings so I put these images together with some notes which should help you to use them.

[monstermaker]

Kracken ,These materials look great can't wait to play with them Thanks!

[maxinkuk]

Thanks Kraken, they look fab. I must try them immediately.

[sathe]

Hi Kraken, Amazing Display of matcaps, I have tried to load them however and am getting a material load error which causes zbrush to crash.

will update if i can fix it.

[Disco Stu]

anyone else having problems with starting zbrush when these are in the folder?

[maxinkuk]

Yes, I'm having the same error, I'm about to try with one at a time.

[Disco Stu]

hmm seems like none work for me.

maybe a corrupt upload?

me wants they look delicious

[Webhead]

The matcaps look great! :D

[Avan-AMS]

yup same here, "error loading material"

[spaceboy412]

i'm getting the error as well.
i opened one of the mats in a text editor and noticed it said zbrush 3.12, so i'm guessing that's the issue, i'm on a pc with 3.1.

[Disco Stu]

hmm yeah that could be it!

a mac intruder on my windows! will i get viruses?

[prosthetix]

thanks Kraken,
cant wait to play with them, finally pays to be non PC ....!!

[nickz]

Bummer...I'm on a PC and they will not load for me!! They look great by they way! Any way to convert these to PC?

[mkk316]

I wants! *sobs*

[SolidSnakexxx]

KrakenCMT, wow very generous of you amazing materials!! :tu: :tu: :tu:

[threetails]

thanks so much i appreciate the additional mats, i really need to work on them and the skin shader esspecially will be a great learning tool. wonderful work.

[SolidSnakexxx]

Oh..man I tested it out and I realized these are for Mac...bummer :cry: (for me) Great mats though... :)

[KrakenCMT]

I'm so sorry everyone! I didn't even think about them not working on the pc version. :( I will see what I can do to make pc versions of them. I imagine the settings would be exactly the same. I still have my pc version installed on my laptop so I'll try to create the pc versions on that. Again, very sorry for any confusion there.

[mkk316]

bless you Kraken, bless you.

[mutte696]

I'm curious to try out your caps. thanks

[Disco Stu]

looking forward to a win version.
dont know if i ever read this for any programm,
normally its the other way around :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Disco Stu]

another question kraken.

Is it possible to create a white version of the fake sss quadshader
for displaying skin texturing?

[hyper1]

Hey Kraken,
This is a real nice ZB Skin shader! And, thanks for the directions to go along with your results.

[KrakenCMT]

FYI, I just posted the link to the PC version of my materials. A couple of them might look slightly different as I was trying to match the colors embeded in the Mac versions by only looking at the monitor.

Hope people get some use from them!

[skullbeast]

Thanks Kracken!!

[Webhead]

... finally pays to be non PC ....!!Yeah, that doesn't happen often around here. Thanks again, Kraken, and congrats on making the finals in the Hero Contest. Well deserved!

[jp_smith]

Thanks Kraken! I was envious of these materials during the action hero contest, thanks so much for sharing and good luck in the finals. :tu: :tu:

[Avan-AMS]

yeah you didnt had to but thanks man really

[maxinkuk]

For us PC users there's a very good bunch too.
Thanks Montecristo, you're making my day.

[Disco Stu]

Hey kraken thanks for making them work for pc. :cool: :tu:

However,
when I try to render the skin quadshaders and the one from zb2 my zbrush crashes.

Has anyone else having this problem.

[slickytom]

Disco Stu - i was getting the same crashes too, until i dropped my model to pixols and it seems to render fine. Hope that helps.

[SolidSnakexxx]

Wow, thank you so much...the materials work wonder on my machine except the rust material which seems to crash during the mid render.

[KrakenCMT]

Yeah, it's mainly the quad shaders that seem to be hit and miss sometimes. I sometimes have to render 3-4 times before it renders without crashing. All the ones that occasionally crash are the quad shaders which I converted from ZBrush 2. It's been an issue I've had ever since the ZB3 upgrade, but I'm not really sure why it does that.

Disco Stu, the realistic skin shader already does that. For my example renders with that mat, I used a brownish skin color on the model. But if your model is colored white, it will look blown out with a harsh reddish sss effect. But like I said, this mat is a bit tricky. It really needs some attention to get a good balance of lighting settings and sometimes a bit of tweaking of the mat itself to get it exactly the way you want. A high maintenance material so to speak. :)

[Disco Stu]

yeah i already noticed its white :D

ill try to render a few times and see if it will stop crashing.

i really love the two sculpting mats anyways :cool: :tu:

[Eraserhead]

Yea, those two sculpting mats are the bee's knees! They came in pretty handy at work today:tu:

"Green Cristal" is based off a mental ray shader by Stefan Minning.

I like the purple wax, is it for Zb 3.5? 3.2 or 3.1?

[evillair]

Thanks

I made it in 3.1 pc

[rarukufan]

Thanks, dude. Nice mats.

[O/MI]

me too like the purple wax! keep posting! THANKS!

[evillair]

Thanks a lot guys!

[robinmitra1]

Thanks for the share man!

[Webhead]

My matcaps are just sitting around on my computer not getting enough use these days.
So, I figured it's high time I donated a few to the ZBC community. Hopefully, someone will get some good use out of them. Enjoy!
(Hope these work with the latest PC version of ZBrush. They were created with earlier Mac versions.)

[Mike Rhodes]

Thanks! Tested them on the Demohead.ztl and they look great.

Using Mac "Orphaned" System, 10.6.2, ZB 3.2.

[jimbo1001]

right

im currently polypainting a chucky model.

i started with a matcap white but it looks better when i switch to skin04, problem is when i swap to ANY other material type i get horrible seams as shown in the image (arrows)

help would be very grateful !

[DAnconia]

Select Flat Color material, switch to MRGB, go to Color palette, Fill Object. Then you should have a clear ztool.

[spaceboy412]

do as danconia says but do NOT use MRGB, use M only otherwise you will fill paint over your model when all you want to do is the material.

[DAnconia]

Ooops forgot about that. Sorry.

[Webhead]

Thanks! Tested them on the Demohead.ztl and they look great.

Using Mac "Orphaned" System, 10.6.2, ZB 3.2.
Good. Glad you like them, and can use them.

thanks for all the good stuff guys! :)

Here's a few more MatCaps:

[wolfie]

The milk and dark chocolate,moist clay,green sheen and toy soldier dont work for me in 3.5r3 but the others do :confused:

[MDGeist]

great thread. thx for sharing :)

[Webhead]

The milk and dark chocolate,moist clay,green sheen and toy soldier dont work for me in 3.5r3 but the others do :confused:
I'm really sorry, about that wolfie. I did create these in earlier Mac versions of ZBrush, and was worried that some of them might not work in 3.5r3.
I'm surprised toy soldier and green sheen aren't working, though. They were more recent matcaps created in 3.2 I believe. I had a similar experience with someone else's matcaps. Some worked, some didn't. Wish I knew why that happens. :confused:

[wolfie]

no worries any mats that are for free are a bonus thank you:tu:

[Webhead]

In case anyone downloaded my NEW PENNY matcap, I uploaded a revised version. The new version has more of a copper color than the previous version did. If anyone's interested in the new version, just go back to my original post on page 27 and download the zip file again. :)

Hi everyone- gorgeous matcaps in this thread, great work. I have a problem though- I'm wokring through rafael ghencev's head sculpt lessons and he uses sathe's skincore mat- but all the links I can find for it are dead.

ZBrush -horror-matcaps.jpg ZBrush -horror-matcaps.jpg

Okay, let's see if i can do this right...I apologize for my lack of posting, but thought (after tripping across this thread quite by accident recently) I'd add a few materials to the mix.
In the Pixologic download site, i started to see 'Avatar' and 'Dr. Mannhatten' materials, and it kinda inspired me to start making some of my own from some of my favorite horror movies like 'the Thing' and 'the Howling'.

And since I have now twice had to design Predator helmets, i thought it might be a good idea to make one of those as well..I simply took framegrabs from the movies and tried to match as best i could (with my limited knowledge). Anyway, they're fun, and i thought some of you might get some use out of them..

[Scrybe]

***** EDIT: PC AND MAC VERSION (ZB 3.12) NOW AVAILABLE *****

Ma.jpg

I finally found some time to throw these mats I've been working on together and post them. I've worked over a period of several months on the realistic skin shader alone (starting back in ZBrush 2!) so I hope you all get good use out of them. :D

A. Realistic Skin (quad shader) - Below I'll post a few directions on how to use it. It's a bit tricky.
B. Another skin quad shader. A bit more subdued than the realistic one.
C. Basic Flesh Matcap material.
D. Verdi Gris Bronze
E. Antique Bronze
F. Bronze with highlights - there's a couple small light sources from the sides in the matcap texture to give a little more interest.
G. & H. Sculpting Material 1 & 2 - I made these to try to come up with some mats which are good while sculpting in realtime.
I. Rusted Iron - I tried to upgrade Jantim's mats to work well with ZBrush 3 and this is about as close as I got so far. I'm still working on it, but I think it's decent enough to upload.

Here's the links to the materials:

KRAKEN'S MATS SET1 - MAC (http://www.loadedbrush.com/ZBMaterials.zip)

KRAKEN'S MATS SET1 - PC (http://www.loadedbrush.com/KrakensZB3MaterialsPC.zip)


MATS.jpg


And now for the explanation of the Realistic Skin quadshader. In the first image below I added a swatch of color showing the skin color I used. Obviously that can vary, but I find that color works pretty well.

Also, the shader is very sensitive to the light settings so I put these images together with some notes which should help you to use them.

Fig1.jpg Fig2.jpg

Fig3.jpg Fig4.jpgHey, can you make an updated version for R3, or tell me how? I love these screenshots as they are the closest to real skin I've seen in a Mat, but even following your directions with the lighting I'm not getting this look at all.

[O/MI]

oh yeah an update for these MATz would be great...

[KrakenCMT]

I'll see what I can do to update those mats in the near future.

And while I'm here talking about mats, I've also been spending a little time here and there on developing another full set of mats (some matcaps, some not) which look like other realistic metals, stones, clays and skins.

Here's a quick preview of three of them, but there are several others in the set and are not quite done yet. I'll upload them all when they are done, which will be soon. They will be a mix of matcaps, quad shaders and tri shaders.

KrakenCMT: Amazing work! I love them. Cant wait to see the new asset!

[O/MI]

cant wait...thanks kraken...

[moonlitmaverick]

oooooooohhh....they look yummy! gr8 work on the materials. :tu:

[skaale]

Hey KrakenCMT, I will look forward to these Matcaps The look superb--:-)
Is it possible with a tutorials??:D

[Etcher]

Those're looking great Chris! :cool: :tu:, hope you'll find the time to finish'em soon.

[markkens]

Kraken, the Distressed Stone looks truly fine! Maybe we lost sight of how tasty Z's procedurals can look, while messin' with the matcaps...

Can't wait!

[Mikademius]

Thank you so much for sharing this. It helps me keeping the other artists not using ZB envious ;)

Kraken, those last shaders you showed us looks absolutely amazing. I can't wait to get to try them out!

Can anyone post up a link to the Adam Lewis Matcap Materials?

[cashfire]

Does anybody have the Rogelio_Oliveira matcaps? I lost the ones I had, and all the links on here seem to be broken, would really appreciate it. Thanks.

[Mikademius]

Thanks borden. The materials look great. Gonna give them a try :)

[SolidSnakexxx]

Wow, KrakenCMT (member.php?u=41167), I must say I'm so excited about your new materials....Can't wait to get my hands on them.....amazing!

[KrakenCMT]

Here's another collection of mats that I've put together. These are for the ZBrush 3.2 Mac Version, which is the version they were created with. I was already fairly far along with creating these new mats when Scrybe mentioned here that the older ones I created don't work with R3. These probably won't either. I've tested them on my R3 version on my MacPro (running Windows in Bootcamp) and they crash it whenever I try to load any of them.

I had already taken time to convert the previous collection to PC, but I guess they don't work again since R3 came out. In order to update both material collections to work with R3, I would have to recreate them all from scratch. It's a little time consuming to do that so it could be quite a while before I get to it. I apologize to PC users for that inconvenience.

Note: The only true Matcap is the Smooth Sculpting Clay one. All the others are hybrid Matcaps/Procedural shaders. Experiment on the Mossy Stone and Distressed Stone mats with applying different neutral colors to your model.

***EDIT: UPDATED TO INCLUDE CONVERTED PC MATERIALS!***

Here's the link to the materials. Enjoy!

Does anyone have the adam lewis matcaps? EVERY link is broken...

[eduardoflores]

Thank you, Erklaerbar, for this wonderful material: I'm already imaging its results on the right objects!...But it is too early for me: I'm still learning.

Please give me a piece of information: when I "Save As" an object as .ZTL, the applied MatCap disappears, and the object is re-loaded with its default RedWax material.
Is this correct, or am I missing something?

Thank you for your help,

Eduardo

[Erklaerbar]

you can press "M" on your brush palette and click "fill object" and then the object is filled with your matcap, however not the matcap itself but only the slot number. So you need to place the matcap first into your startup folder. hope that makes sense


PS: you can also save the project instead of the tool itself, this will maintain everything, including the material

[eduardoflores]

Thank you for your kind, helpful answer!
The more I study ZBrush, more things I discover to be learned!...

FYI, I just realized this recently.... The hybrid mats I created do work in ZB4. You just have to hit Best render first, then immediately hit your BPR render button. You may want to scale down the Canvas Bump and Canvas Bump Scale settings. They were designed for the AA Half feature, so the textures should be adjusted when using the BPR.

[crazy_boy_wow]

Hi P^t

please help me !

i can't download this material if you can help me please sent a new link

Or if someone could upload an easy to follow tut start to finish,
begging with making the document 512x512. :D

really everyone, if they could start making PNG renders, along with their their ,ZMT material packs for Sculptris it would be cool.
(if people are going to flow back and forth between the two they need the mats)

Here's my 2 cents. Added with this message.

And here's how it looks on something I'm working on atm:
