We are pleased to announce the release of Decimation Master for Mac

</div></center>

<div style=“width:950px; text-align:left”>With Decimation Master you will be able to easily reduce the polygon count of your models in a very efficient way while keeping all their sculpted details. This solution is one of the fastest available and is able to optimize your high polycount models from ZBrush, allowing you to export them to your other 3D software packages.

Sculpt your model with ZBrush, add all your small details and push your artistic skills, then optimize your ZTool. Export it to your favorite 3D package which will now be able to open your sculpting to create specific textures like Normal Maps or Ambient Occlusion maps by baking the high resolution mesh information on a low resolution mesh.

Another use is to export your model for a Rapid Prototyping process (3D printing) and bring your virtual art to a real object but also displaying your model in a real-time viewer such as PDF 3D. The possibilities are infinite!

lol! Cheers mate the link’s working for me now :slight_smile:

#17

Downloaded it. Installed it (for C4D) and doesn’t seem to work :frowning:

I press the “GoZ” button in C4D and get it into zBrush… do some fancy stuff and press the “GoZ” button inside zbrush which will ask me which software to export for. I choose of course C4D and then it does some calculation … some more… and nothing ever happens. It doesn’t seem to export it back to C4D no matter what I do.

The downloading, installing and tutorial vid were all seamless and excellent. I’ve GoZbrushed a model into modo, added some geometry, then GoZbrushed back again it worked great. Simple, seamless, awesome. It’s a workflow revolution.

Edit: Snipped out my question after seeing the link above.
