Just got back from GDC. YEARS ago…I when I saw Zbrush I hailed as the next big thing and the killer to max and maya for modeling. I am doing that same thing…only time the app being killed is photoshop.
It is a procedural texturing software…been around for years but now it is actually usable by artists.
One drool factor is…you can take a image…generate a normal…then use that normal to procedurally place rust or dust or water damage. It is so sexy.
I would love if you guys over at pixologic could write some app…similar to zapp link so we could interface with it. Texturing would be of course cool…but also to use the texture data to generate models from it. All the height info is there.
Here’s hoping.
