Thanks for showing those videos :tu:
Those rigs, can we keep the ZSphere-rig in the model and use it for animation without layers?

[Marco Splash]

nice stuff paul! thanks for the tips once again!

[Floydshayvious]

Hell yeah.

[gabo1991]

Hey Bas

Yes you can keep the rig for animating. I will be making a part 3 & 4 that highlight this. Part 2 will be about using Transpose Master with a rig. Part 2 will be out shortly. :)

Very interesting tutorial, can't wait for the next ones. How does that kind of rig works with extreme movements, like raising the arms over the head, or bending the knees or elbows as much as a real body can?Hello Woody

Yes you will be able to do what you ask. If you look at my title image I am raising the arm up higher along the body but I will see about creating a video with more motion. (Which I plan to do with the next one ;)

Part 2-4 is on there way. :)

good tutorial, i riggued my character :D

[HYDE]

Awesome tutorial, thank you!! I can now pose my SDiv 6 character with rigging zspheres, BUT I cannot retain the sculpted details. I followed the tutorial to the letter, but when I preview the new pose, the detail is lost. I have searched everywhere for a solution, but no luck. Anyone have a solution?

Can you put together a little video showing me all of your steps. I am happy to help but I need to see everything. None of your tools are in a Preview mode from ZSpheres or ZSketch right?

Hello Community

This video is Part 2/4 for ZSphere Rigging with ZBrush. In this video I continue on the journey of ZBrush rigging for the purpose of posing a character. In Part 1 I discussed how to pose with a single Subtool, now learn to rig with multiple subtools.

In this video I will walk you through using Transpose Master's newest feature to Rig a multiple Subtool Character with a ZSphere.

After watching Part 1 (http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showpost.php?p=762020&postcount=245) and Part 2 you will be able to rig any character that has a single Subool or multiple Subtools. I encourage you to play around with Rigging as much as possible. It is one POWERFUL tool!!!!

Make sure to download the newest Transpose Master here:

www.pixologic.com/zbrush/downloadcenter/zplugins (http://www.pixologic.com/zbrush/downloadcenter/zplugins)

To install Transpose Master







Download the Windows or MAC version to your computer
Unzip the File
You will find a folder named TransposeMaster.
With in this folder you will find another folder named TPoseMasterData4 and a script file called TransposeMaster_4_06.zsc.
Install this folder and script file into the following directory:

ZBrush4/zstartup/zplugs

Then restart ZBrush. Plug-ins will only work at launch so if you have ZBrush open already you will need to shut it down for the plug-in Transpose Master to be installed.

You will find Transpose Master in the ZPlugs Palette at the top of ZBrush's interface once installed.


Many thanks for taking a look at the video.

[DAnconia]

Awesome tutorial man! Really explained it very well. Learned a whole lot in a short amount of time.

[VictorCS]

I'll guess I'll be using zspheres from now on. I tried it out, but never did anything with it, because it didnt deform right, but I see now that I have to use a more "detailed" skeleton.

Very helpful video, thanks :D

And I see there will always be need for minor tweaking after it's posed, I believed that was only me doing things wrong for some reason.

[sagiarts]

hi
all this is a nice thread,
I had a problem for long in zbrush 3.5 ,i.e. how to import multiple obj files in zbrush.
When I import one obj and then try to import the next zbrush crashes , so I have to import,append save and close, reopen again and again import and so on, pls help me out here.

[Woodys3d]

Extremelly useful! Is there any chance you can add a link to download it, like the first part?

[highlander_72]

Have you tried to use the Multi Append in Subtool Master? There should be no reason for this happening. Did you change any preferences?

Thank you very much!:tu:

[Muddpitt]

Thank you so much Gabo :D . Can't wait for the download :)

[designingpatrick]

Hey Gabo,

Thanks for posting this information, I had always wondered about that rigging rollout.

I'm having some of the same issues as the others: when switching into preview mode, either my mesh has not maintained its detail, or it does not reflect the pose.

http://youtu.be/GZhbpueRCBI

I didn't include the rig creation in the video, I don't think it's part of the cause. Any ideas about what's going on here?

Thanks,
Patrick

[gabo1991]

I have moved the videos to the new Did You Know That ZBrush 4. http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?t=99157.

Would I be able to get your model and rig to me so I can take a look.

Paul

[designingpatrick]

I tried again from scratch, seems to be working fine now!

[gabo1991]

Hey Patrick

Great to hear it works for you now. Thank you for letting me know.

Paul

[fishjelly]

Paul thanks for all the info.......much appreciated!

[luckyboyboyboy]

yoo thank's!!
very cool

[micoo]

excellent thread, Thank you very much

[Morbane]

I have seen it in many tutorials but it was never revealed. I would like to sculpt with zspheres using tube-like constructs - I have managed to do this but not with full x-y-z control e.g. draw a sphere for a skull then sculpt the jaw bone from front to back and top to bottom - with depth - I hope I am asking the right question to get the answer I am looking for.

Thanks.:rolleyes:

I will look for an example image for a future post if necessary.

Cheers!
