*** Introducing GoZ

[plunq]

Fantastic preview! First Decimation Master and 3D Print Exporter, now you show us GoZbrush? August can’t come soon enough!

Wow that’s a stellar application! And…is that the voice of who I think it is?? ;)

[WHW]

Have to say, I’ve been working with reprojection from one tool to another with different topology for the last 6 months and it’s pretty unintuitive - the results for projecting from polys resting on one another is poor at best, requiring a lot of clean-up, especially eye sockets! This definitely appears to make that process much simpler.

One question I would appreciate answered - will GoZ support the addition of faces OUTSIDE the exisiting shell, eg. extruded faces along an open edge? Say I started with a head and neck, but I want to turn it into a bust so I need to extrude extra geometry below the neck, will GoZ support that? Certainly would be cool if it could.

where’s the 3dsmax 2010 version…coming soon i hope seeing as it’s the biggest installed/commercially used 3d app on planet earth!

One of the core functions of ZBrush has always been to provide artists with the ability to create in an environment that allows for complete freedom of expression. The lack of technical barriers that make working with in ZBrush feel like real world sculpting and painting is why so many have created such ground breaking work.

We would now like to introduce you to, GoZ, a new core feature of ZBrush that will bring you even closer to creating at the speed of your imagination. With GoZ, artists can spend less time on technical aspects, and more time on simply being creative. With a single click of a button, GoZ lets you quickly transfer your geometry back and forth between ZBrush and other 3D application like Maya, Cinema 4D, and Modo, with many other applications soon to come. This means that you can place ZBrush and its GoZ feature at the center of any workflow. Not only can you instantly transfer geometry between ZBrush and other 3D applications, but any texture, normal, and displacement maps created with in ZBrush will automatically be connected to the appropriate shader networks in the program of your choosing. Now you are free to work with out the distraction of timely export and import operations. GoZ breaks down the walls between other applications extending the power and fluid nature of ZBrush even further. GoZ is actually a small glimpse at the many powerful features that have been developed for ZBrush 4. At this time we will be releasing the first version of GoZ with the next Mac OSX update in June, Windows users will be able to take advantage of GoZ along with all of the new features that have been added to ZBrush 4 when it is released this August.

Thats interesting to know !!!

[cresshead]

ahh i ‘get’ why the list maya, modo and cinema4d…they’re ALL mac osx apps!

[alancamara]

Looks great. Congrats for all pixologic team.

WOO0OO0OO0O0O0O0OW … I can’t say more than that - sorry

[gioNak]

amazing! this is how easy things should be! i’m really happy to see modo as a part of GoZbrush!

[ncollings]

Impressive preview, can’t wait to test it

[Katonc]

This looks great! But a couple questions

Can you add geometry like say extrusions, or can you only edit topology and it is basically a re projection?

Also A BILLION POLYS??? Is this with HD geometry or actual subdivisions? I am curios about this mostly, I just cant wait until I can subdivide it way higher than I would ever need, and without using HD geometry.

Looking forward to the release.

[TeZzy]

:eek: wow…this sounds like a very awesome thing to have indeed

[dk79]

Yeah I was amazed by the june release as well. Are they going to update the 3.12b version? Who knows…

[cashfire]

Wow, this is just awesome. The fact that topology can change mid sculpt is just incredible. Point order has always been the achilles heal of zbrush.This could definately be a key peice if not the hub of a character pipeline. Great work.

[Mind_Symbion]

I’m so excited! Can’t wait to test it!
Pixologic just rocks!

Hopefully that GoZ function will be avaiable to 3rd party programmers so not only the big autodesk products will be able to benefit from it.

[coolkonrad]

Great news! Can’t wait to try it out from Modo to Zbrush.

Waiting to get my hands on that to test the Cinema 4D - ZBrush pipeline! Cool news indeed.
