is this a tutorial of zbrush 3.5 r3?
because i don't have zmapper in it .

[Fernando Kuhlmann]

is this a tutorial of zbrush 3.5 r3?
because i don't have zmapper in it .
Hey Jag - Yes, it is 3.5R3, it doesn't have ZMapper cause it is not needed anymore, you can do the maps with simple clicks, the only thing is that i
open the UV map in the tuto using UVMapper, but it is also not needed anymore
cause ZBrush's UVmaster is really GREAT!

Hope it is usefull for you!

Cheers

Nice visual tutorial but lack of audio makes it some-what hard to figure out for less experienced individuals. If someone could add commentation to these they would be a hit in my books.

Hey Ange!
Many thanks for the words, appreciate a lot

I've never put audio explanation in any video before,
Any suggestions on how and what (softwares) can i use,
If i have any help, i'll give it a try,

OR maybe if someone who knows how, could kindly do this for this videos,
It would be great, off course also put the audio credits for the Gentleman :tu:

Thanks again
Cheers

Camtasia Studio is great for both audio and text purposes, it's easy to learn but costs some money :)

[sleepyhead]

Thank you soooo much.
Learning Zbrush at this time, and it will be really usefull.

[jaggudada]

thanks a ton.. now i am able to make and export those maps. but somehow in modo things are not working correctly :( ..
watched all the videos on zbrush to modo but my maps are not showing up .. please explain your zbrush to modo pipeline too :)

[Fernando Kuhlmann]

Thanks a lot guys, very much appreciated :tu:

Santis - thanks for the info and link, i'll see what i can do with Camtasia :tu:

Sleepy - Thanks a lot man, really glad it was helpfull!

Jaggudada - Thanks a lot man, glad it helps you :tu: sure, i'll show my MODO
pipeline for you, i'm too busy right now, but very soon i'll make a explanation
with some screen grabs for you,
Just a brief explanation for you beffore i make the explanation:

1- Export the maps
2- Open your model in MODO (the one with the same UV's used to bake the maps)
3- go to the "Render Settings" page in MODO
4- Click on the "Item" corresponding to your model
5- Click on the "Add layer" in the right top of the page "Render Settings"
6- Choose image map
7- Click on Load image
8- Browse and load any map you whant (diffuse, normal, bumb...etc)
9- It will be set as diffuse as standard, you can see it in the right column
10- To change the tipe of map, place the mouse cursor over the right column
where it says diffuse, right click with the mouse,
11- Just when you right click it, it will open a dialog with many options for you
to choose including (duffuse, normal, bumb, tranparecy... etc)
12 choose the one corresponding with your map and it should work just fine :tu: :tu:

PS- Sometimes in MODO the correct map doesn't work fine (it is a bug)
if it happens, just delete the map from the shader three and load it again, it will work,

Let me know if it helped you !

Soon i'll post the explanation with the screen grabs :tu: :tu:

Cheers!!!!!

Photoshop, UVMaster and Decimation Master, specular maps and
Subsurface amount maps (all painted inside ZBrush) and a lot more
so stay tunned!!

Cheers to everyone!

As you kindly suggested
Stay tunned!

Hi fernando (hope i may call you that)

I love the tutorial but questions if I may.
1) Am I doing something wrong or do the files miss sound. Reason I ask is that me new to zbrush and video goes relatively fast.

But super way of showing how it works

Regards stephan
