Greetings ZBrushers, I would like to share with you the status of the upcoming ZBrush 4R7 for Windows and Macintosh systems, both 32-bit and 64-bit. We originally planned for this release to take place before the end of this year. As it turns out, due to the sheer volume of development involved in creating the first ever 64-bit versions of ZBrush for both Windows and Macintosh, it is taking a little longer than expected. There are effectively four versions to test -- twice as many as in previous releases. With that in mind, I feel that we should take the time to fine-tune and deliver the very best possible capstone to the 4.x series in order to allow you to gain the most benefit from the new features. We have therefore decided to postpone the release of Z4R7 from December to January. Please bear with us while we polish ZBrush 4R7. We are as eager to have these new features in your capable artistic hands, as you are to make use of them and reach higher levels of creativity. Have a wonderful Holiday Season and a Happy New Year to all! -Ofer Alon

A sneak peek at the upcoming ZBrush to KeyShot Bridge: As we finalize ZBrush 4R7 we wanted to share with you this sneak peek movie which focuses on one of the upcoming features: the ZBrush to KeyShot Bridge! This exciting new feature allows you to send your ZBrush scene straight to KeyShot (in one click), allowing for an incredibly easy transition to rendering with KeyShot. Additionally, you will also see ZBrush 4R7's new ZModeler Brush in action as it is used to create the engine. Some of the features shown in the video are: *Single button press allows for high polygon models (without decimation) to be sent to KeyShot *Apply KeyShot materials directly to the mesh *Size, position, and MatCaps® are respected across the ZBrush to KeyShot Bridge *Adjust the HDR Environment lighting to create the perfect Final Render Sit back and Enjoy!

Daniel Biggers: When my skeleton is at the lowest subdivision level it is 71k polys. I usually never go higher than that when posing the skeleton. The muscular system has about 620k polys at the lowest subdivision levels. All subtools have 4-5 subdivision levels (sort of irrelevant in my case since I do not have any micro details). Only time I use highest subdivision level on the skeleton and muscles is when I render. Two things that have really helped me regarding the memory limit is: 1. Zremesher is your best friend! Keep your lowest subdivision level as low as possible and as clean as possible. 2. Whenever you do an operation that you think might crash the program, hit the "Compact now"-buttion (Preferences->Mem->Compact Now). It helps a lot tyrellcorp: No secret, I am just very organized with my subtools and polygroups. It might look tricky because of all the parts but it is actually a whole lot simpler than trying to use the transpose tool on skin (with bone I do not have to worry about issues like twisting the skin etc). The muscles are the most difficult to work with (mostly because many of them are grouped into the same subtool). But now I found the spiral-brush, so made my life easier So, only transpose tool (move and rotate) and Spiral-brush. Thanks Some new images:

This is the 4th character in my Sinner collection: Wrath See interactive turntables here: http://www.marcoplouffe.com/sinner_turncolor_wrath.html http://www.marcoplouffe.com/sinner_turnsculpt_wrath.html Software used: - Zbrush for concept, sculpt, UVs and base polypaint - Quixel for texturing - Keyshot for shaders and rendering - Photoshop for composition

Apologies if the WIP shots seem a little redundant with no standout changes. I'm just tweaking things, and mostly focused on the chest armor and CPU pack (back pack). Not sure how I feel about the white plating (as opposed to black) on the chest armor.... anyway... its progress and wanted to post it thanks for looking.

Hey guys, adding some more recent personal projects Personal project to study female faces. I wanted to try a few different techniques on eyes and hair, you can see a small breakdown bellow. Everything modeled and rendered using Zbrush, hair is fibermesh, eyebrow and eyelashes modeled and placed by hand. Hope you like it! render passes breakdown https://grassetti.wordpress.com/2015/01/18/portrait/#jp-carousel-4801

Heey, what's up guys! This is my latest ZBrush work. Done to be printed as a collectible statue. Started from Nickz_humanMale base mesh and ZRemeshed later. His pants were base modeled in max and detailed in ZBrush. Posed in Transpose Master and Rendered in Vray. Hope you like it!

Hey everyone! Thanks for the great comments, I'm honored and I'm glad the image comes across as intended(heavy as it is). TribunMaximus - That means a lot to me, you have no idea Rory_L - Thank you, and I hope for the best for your boy majid_smiley - Here is a screen grab of the zbrush setup. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. I'm hoping to do something of a breakdown soon.

I bought Shane Olson's tutorial so I could try my hand at a cartoon character. I took the frog in a slightly different direction from his, but I used his techniques of using primitive shapes to start the body. I also plan to insert a zshere rig in order to pose the frog in different poses and used layer to start doing expressions. Not complete. Here is what I have so far. www.gumroad.com/shaneolson Start modeling: Front Views: Other Views:
