Need .ztl file converted to .obj

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hello dear forum.

I do not own zBrush, but I am working with free 3D Software at the moment. I found a nice free 3D model of a male human, that I want to rig to pose it for an arzwork I am working on. Sadly the download is only available as ZTL. What I need is an OBJ to import it. The model and it’s free download can be found here:

I hope you guys can help me, it would be a huge help.

Thanks for taking your time.
Happy sculpting :wink:

There is a free 45 day trial version of ZBrush 2018 that you can get here.

Oh, I should have mentioned this:

I already tried to get the trial to do it myself (I hate people, who request stuff in a forum they could have easily done theirselves if they just thought about a solution for 3 minutes) but I did not get my e-mail with the link and the registration code, I already tried again (This showed up: “Trial creation has failed: We apologize, but you have already registered for the trial.”) and I already wrote to the support about this.
And there is NOT such an option like “I did not receive my mail, please resend.” This is something Pixologic could consider to put there as an option. However, I am writing to this forum because I don’t see any other option at this point.

Thanks for taking your time.

ZBrush can export this as an OBJ., but the thing is that it has 6 subdivision levels. Level 6 is about 7.8 million poly’s (which is the image you see on the download page). Level 5 is about 1.9 million poly’s. Level 4 is about 491,000. Level 3 is 122,700. level 2 is 30,600 and level 1 is 7,600 poly’s. It doesn’t have any UV’s. You’re only going to get one subdivision level in the OBJ. It’s a matter of which subdivision level do you want it exported as. As an alternative, you can also download Nick Zuccarello’s free male model which has an OBJ download for each subdivision level. Scroll down a bit on that page to get them.

Great, thank you very much.
That helps a lot. I will get the alternative you suggested, since the muscle definition and general body shape is pretty much what I was looking for :smiley:

Have a nice day :wave:
