Hi,
“a subliminal message to Ofer Alon’s attention”

Best regards,
OK, just…WOW!
I can’t wait for the dancing frog tool.
Simply incredible the tool this guys are developing. Animation without bones!
I’m unclear as to how they control the pull/stretch on joints, etc. Maybe their algorithms looks at vertex density in a volume, requiring mesh to have denser joints, maybe you still have to set up envelopes…?
Can’t see that a mere distance/decay would would work, but maybe you could set a logarithmic curve for fall off…
Who knows, I’m rambling; it’s very cool and very natural looking.
It’s very cool and very natural looking.
Be amazing for Z5 - ZBrush Animated - I’m sure they’re on the case already! 
Damn it! Shoot for the stars…
Maybe there’s still enough time to get it into Z4?
i’m sure it’ll be a pre launch plugin :lol:
That technology is a game changer. There is a Maya plugin called Stretch Mesh by Kickstand Labs which does something similar. But is no where near as cool. Zbrush 6 more like it though.
I lol’d at the frog and dino:D. Cool stuff.
hahaha thinkin at this point in zbrush 5!!? even 6?!! haha well it’s a very powerful stuff, so easy to make very complex animations, hahahaha the and with the dinosaur and a frog!! hahahaa lool!
That’s about 2-3 years old I think.
Amazing video! That teapots control cage looked like zbrush zspheres. Mmmm zbrush update of the future perhaps?
LOL posted another vid from same animation tech preview too, even in z spheres II thread, but Pixolator should know this things yet.
Hi there
Do you remember the first link?
I just saw the last 3Dcoat included this feature.
http://www.3d-brush.com/features.html
Look the “Direct Manipulation” part.
It look’s like to be the same technologie.
M. Ofer Alon we need that too!
zspheres 2 and zketch.
It gives phenomenal deformations.
Hope to see voxels in zbrush 4 before 5.
Face facts Zspheres 2 are just hacky version of voxels without flexibility
Zbrush needs more flexbility added to it or it will fall behind and 3D coat will take top place
I love and hate zbrush, While its good ! its crap at the same time lol
I’m pretty sure that guy in the first video was a robot. Real people don’t talk like that. I’m scared now :o
those in first post are old (but interesting) links.
In ZB 5.0 i’d like to see some of the features 3d Coat has now, even if its a bit young software, like
64 bit support
better retopo tools,
quadrangulation
UV tools (give us at least an editor in which we can easily see UV coming from other packages, but if we’ll have UV tools, its better )
voxels
layers for textures with fusion methods
and maybe even a bit of animation with a timeline (btw rigging possibilities like in the vids, and beyond, are highly welcome)
