Zketchpad - A ZBrush 2 Plugin

[theYiffer]

Even better than Zketcher! This make Zbrush even more of necessity for the digital artist. Here's my test sketch:



Thanks again Aurick and Glen!

Oh Southern! Not again!

I got a case of doodle-itise now! No known cure!!!! So I guess it's actually a relapse!

Smart work. One of the best Zscripts I've seen so far.

hey Mat, awesome script just got even better... however when i control click the main icon from a custom location, the program shuts down zbrush, can this be fixed at all... so far it only loads for me from the plugin window.. thanks.

Hey, DJ. Long time no see!

If I understand you correctly, you've moved the Zketchpad icon to a custom location and saved your interface, and then you Ctrl+Click the icon at the location to run it? If so, then that's not quite right. Simply click the icon, just like you would the Projection Master one (which is also a plugin, where the location of the button has already been stored on the Shelf for you).

Thanks for all the compliments! I'm glad that you're enjoying the new version -- and really glad to see the cool stuff you're creating with it. Keep those Zketches coming!

Here's my contribution to a great plugin...

ZB Grafitti style...



Thanks again Aurick, awesome job...

PS One thing I've thought of that you could do is make the eraser work when you flip the wacom stylus around like in photoshop...

I wonder if there is a way to include a way to rotate the canvas as is possible in Painter?
This would make sketching even more like the real thing.

Using this plugin to start off a sketch it is really great and then to take it on further using other tools to develop a painting. Zbrush has so many possibilities with 2d painting, I haven't used a proper pencil since Aurick posted this plugin, I am just having so much fun learning. Hope I can soon finish one to post up here.

Rotating the canvas would be so cool.

Grat logo Buckie.. I love it....

[jantim]

Yes...a strong Logo, Buckie...and from its style i can see that "many a night ", the dreaded graffiti artist Buckie stalked the streets of London with his can of paint .

I don't have zbrush but I want it. Just can't figure out If I should buy a wacom tablet first with my loot or zbrush then a tablet. I do alot of 2d work The one below was done with Sketch Book Pro 2.0 & Paintshop Pro 9. I though I would post here for comments and anyone who may help me in deciding what to buy first.

Also Circuit City has the wacom intous3 4x6 for 199.99. Not sure if I should go larger.

It depends how you are at drawing with a mouse. Also if you are strictly interested in the 2.5D functions or if you are also interested in the 3D functions. You really don't need a pad for 3D, I find they slow me down, but they are handy for drawing. Sketching with a mouse is a pain but I paint all the time with a mouse.

In truth larger pads can be clumsy. I wouldn't recommend anything bigger than say a 10"X12". The really large ones I find myself half laying across them to use. The small lack resolution but are handier to use. The only thing I think people use the really big ones for is digitizing drawings. Larger ones even 10X12s are getting hard to find and I got mine off Ebay. That size is a good one but I still find myself reaching due to desk design. I've been tempted to build a secondary shelf under the computer desk for the pad. It gets tiresome using it all day at desk level. If you ever get rich check out the ones with a built in screen. I'd kill for one but they run a couple of grand.

I'm no artist, but this is a fun and very responsive plug-in. Just added a slight sepia hue in PSP, otherwise all Zketchpad. I've got an old, tiny Wacom which I don't really use when modelling. But it's perfect for this.
