Wondering if ZB can be used to sculpt over a foundation 3D model? If so, how and what would be the ideal format for the underlying model…i.e. .stl, obj, step, igs or other???
Thank you,
Hello @panchovilla
Zbrush can import a 3d mesh in the following formats:
-
- Wavefront OBJ (*.obj)
- Maya (*.ma)
- Mesh Ascii (*.mesh)
- Mesh binary (*.meshb)
- GoZ (ZBrush format for GoZ-enabled programs)
- STL (*.stl)
- FBX
The type or quality of the geometry might vary with the sort of application it is, but ZBrush has tools for converting geometry to more usable forms. Obj is a very common and reliable format used to port geometry between programs.
So ZB imports a .obj, converts it to a ZB useable format, and the sculpting occurs. I assume it can export to a number of formats, .stl being one of them?
My company is looking for someone to do some organic decorative work over a mechanical file. Is there a way through the forum to advertise?
