Zbrush 2.5 Q's

I’m not asking about when, we’ve all already done that… :wink:

  1. Is ‘drawing’ the mesh over the zspheres still supported? I noticed the video of this missing from the 2.5 preview videos page. It’s one where a mesh is ‘drawn’ over a zsphere armature.

2)Will 2.5 support ‘symmetrical’ painting over asymmetrically posed meshes as Mudbox can/will do? It’s not really that big of a issue for me, just curious.

  1. When using zsphere armatures to pose meshes, is it possible to set some parts or components of a mesh as ‘move/rotate’ only? IE, say for armored plates, we don’t want them to distort, we just want them to move with the underlying armature

  2. For the 22 million polygon model video, what was the underlying hardware specs for the machine? What kind of poly boost will 2.5 give us on the same hardware?

  3. When will it be released? ( Okay, I just had to ask )… :wink:

I’m already planning on purchasing Zbrush, I need it for my miniatures work

While Silo 2.0 ( currently beta ) is proving to be a great polygon modeler, it’s displacement painting is pretty limited in terms of polycount. Killer for tweaking a model though. :slight_smile:
