A sneak preview of a new ZBrush modeling tool…

[Pixolator]

Hi :)
As we get closer to the release of the next ZBrush version (in several weeks) I would like to share with you some information about an exciting new ZBrush modeling tool…a tool that will allow you to model complex organic shapes with ease. With this tool, you’ll be able to quickly ‘block’ out the shape of your object/creature and when satisfied with the shape, create a 3D mesh that can be edited and refined with the tools and methods that you are already familiar with (keep practicing these modeling skills, they will come handy :) ).

Here are some key points about the new tool…
1. Highly creative thanks to its ease of use and real-time interactivity.
2. Allow you to (virtually) create any organic shape imaginable.
3. Extremely gratifying because it allows you start the modeling process from a sphere (albeit, a special type of a sphere ;) ) and do 100% of the modeling.
5. More key features and technical details will be added as we get closer to release date.

Here is a quick test-model …

As stated previously, this will be a free upgrade to registered ZBrush users. More information and sample images will be added in the near future.
-Pixolator :)

P.S. This tool is currently under development and therefore its capabilities are likely to be changed/improved prior to release date.

How can you torture us like this? :(


I can't wait for the new version!! You are a true genius Pix my man ;)

The new features are looking better by the day. :D

i think this is a tool that will have nearly everyone wiping the drool from their chins, bye the way I was looking my local cd store and found your "morris" on a cd cover, I baught the cd straight away, not my usual tase in music, but I love the cover! this was probably mentioned weeks ago but I've been away.

So that character is modeled out of a single tool, and wasn't created in pieces via MultipleMarkers? VERY cool! Between this and the other Sneak Preview (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=002807) that you've given, I have a feeling that the new version is going to be an eye opener! Maybe even a whole level of revolutionary, in a program that is already very much so.

[Grub]

The new tool is amazing Pixolator!!, at last an end to tricky multimarker assembly for characters. :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

[Mik]

Sounds and looks amazing Pix', it's gonna blow everything out of the water. :eek:

[Caliban Tiresias Darklock]

Pixelator that looks unbelievable :) You've got me so excited about this release. And in several weeks?

Is it just me or are the next several weeks going to be the longest on record? ;)

Any idea of what the next version number will be? Will it in fact be version 1.5?

in the preview for version 5 you’ll probably will be able to leave that (virtually) out, because there will be an option to do genetical engeneering somewhere :D

Being able to model a character from head to toe would open up a whole new era.
