Futuristic cyborg,one of the past z sculpt models i worked on before and continued to fix up.fc_front-1-1-0001.jpg _the-main-front_r.jpg 1-0rear-_B.jpg 1_side-v2-00.jpg I will continue to do more and get better at it.Got some extra ideas on the way.

ZBrush 4R7 is the final iteration within the ZBrush 4 series before we move to ZBrush 5.0. As with our previous point releases, it doesn't simply make a few minor changes but rather is packed with major additions. In fact, 4R7 is one of the most extensive releases since ZBrush 4 came out. Signature features in ZBrush 4R7 include: ArrayMesh, NanoMesh and ZModeler with QMesh. All of these features are useful throughout the creative process, from initial creation of your model to beautifying your artwork. They allow you to stay within ZBrush for more of your workflow, doing things that were either impractical or even outright impossible to accomplish before now. Beyond its feature set, the core of ZBrush is being reworked and ZBrush 4R7 will be the first version of ZBrush that is released with optional 64-bit support. This will allow you to fully harness your machine's computing power, not only allowing for higher polygon counts but also making it possible for you the artist to create more art in less time! ZmyAtQYobV8 By purchasing or upgrading to ZBrush 4R7, you will add another set of tools to your arsenal, expanding your artistic freedom and creativity. ZModeler - This smart polygonal modeling system is designed to simplify your creation process. Quickly and dynamically create new shapes, doing so more easily than ever before possible: fuse polygons, delete full blocks of geometry, connect parts with advanced paths, and repeat your actions with a single click! NanoMesh & ArrayMesh - You as the artist can bring more complexity and detail to your work while still maintaining a low polygon count. Both NanoMesh and Array Mesh will allow for multiple instances of any object to be created and then adjusted in a matter of seconds. Rendering Enhancements - The BPR Render system will now render all Surface Noise as displacement, deforming the mesh to match the attributes of any procedurally created noise. It is like having a displacement map without needing to actually create the map. See extremely detailed results at render time regardless of polygon count. ZBrush to KeyShot (ZBridge) - You can seamlessly connect ZBrush with KeyShot 5 to produce hyper-realistic and high quality images. If you don't already own KeyShot 5 or if its price is simply out of your reach, a "special edition" KeyShot for ZBrush is also available. 64-Bit Support - Push the boundaries of your imagination with the ZBrush 4R7 64-bit Preview Edition. ZBrush can now tap all available computer memory and processing power for more details, even more complex models and faster operations. ZRemesher 2.0 - Retopologizing has never been this artist-friendly. With a single click, you can automatically produce organic or hard surface topology without spirals. If one-click topology isn't the right answer for every situation, you can intuitively take control of the re-topology process with curves to assist in determining polygon flow. FBX Import/Export - To continue improving its integration with the artist's pipeline, ZBrush 4R7 introduces a new free plugin: FBX Import Export. This supports texture, normal and displacement maps, blendshapes, smoothing based on normals and much more! Other Enhancements and Additions - As with past updates, ZBrush 4R7 doesn't stop at major features. It also includes numerous other additions which will improve your productivity and creativity. A few are: Replay Last can now be reapplied to any portion of the model. Background images applied with the Grid system can now be projected onto your model for a painted guide in your newest creations. Start any sculpt with the new polygonal Cube, Sphere and Cylinder primitives. Automatically center the TransPose line on any unmasked, partially visible or symmetrical piece of geometry with one click. Copy and Paste between Tools, SubTools and even Projects. And a whole lot more! Upgrade Instructions ZBrush 4R7 is a free-of-charge upgrade for all registered users of ZBrush on Windows and Mac systems.

Should any issues arise, we have posted an FAQ and Troubleshooting thread for ZBrush 4R7 Questions or troubleshooting posts within this announcement thread will be deleted. Special thanks to all those involved in the making of ZBrush 4R7, including: the beta team, artists, ZBrushCentral members and the staff at Pixologic around the world. Happy ZBrushing! The Pixologic Team FAQ: Q: How do I get the 64-bit version? A: It is automatically included with your ZBrush 4R7 installation as a separate application within the same folder. (Note for Windows users: It will NOT be in the "Program Files" directory typically associated with 64-bit applications.) Activating or deactivating the 32-bit version will also affect the 64-bit version. You may run either version at your discretion. Q: Why is there still a 32-bit version? A: The 64-bit upgrade is a major overhaul of ZBrush's core coding. While we don't believe that any issues were introduced as part of this rewrite, the only way to be sure is for it to be "in the wild" with thousands of users. If any problems are encountered, the 32-bit version will still be there to fall back on, ensuring that users who depend upon ZBrush for their livelihoods will still be able to work without waiting for a patch. ZBrush 5 will discontinue 32-bit support and will only be available in the 64-bit variety. Q: Do I need KeyShot? A: No. ZBrush's standard and BPR renderer have not gone away and in fact BPR is now better than ever. Q: If I already have KeyShot, do I need to buy anything else? A: If you wish to use KeyShot as your default ZBrush renderer, you will need to purchase the ZBrush to KeyShot Bridge plugin. You may of course export from ZBrush as OBJ and import into your copy of KeyShot just as you've always done. It just won't be as convenient as using the Bridge. If you already have KeyShot, you DO NOT need to buy KeyShot for ZBrush. You ONLY need the ZBrush to KeyShot Bridge (ZBridge). Q: What are the full details regarding KeyShot for ZBrush? A: This is a special version of KeyShot 5 HD. It includes all the features of KeyShot HD but has the extra advantage of unlimited render resolution. It also cannot import OBJ models or any other format. It can only import via the ZBrush to KeyShot Bridge (ZBridge). Q: Does the ZBrush to KeyShot Plugin include KeyShot? A: No. You will need a separate license for KeyShot, which may be any version: KeyShot 5 HD, KeyShot 5 Pro, KeyShot Enterprise or KeyShot for ZBrush. Q: Does KeyShot for ZBrush include the Bridge? A: No. You will need to add both KeyShot for ZBrush and the ZBrush to KeyShot Bridge (ZBridge) to your shopping cart in the Pixologic store. However, if you buy them at the same time you will receive the bundled price at checkout. Q: How long will the special pricing last? A: This has not yet been determined. It can end at any time, at Pixologic's discretion. However, we will announce the end of the introductory period at least two weeks ahead of time so that nobody is caught by surprise. Q: Will the ZBrush to KeyShot Bridge (ZBridge) work with my earlier version of ZBrush? A: No. It will only work with ZBrush 4R7. Q: Who supports KeyShot for ZBrush? A: Although it was developed in close association with Pixologic, KeyShot for ZBrush is a Luxion product and supported by them. Q: Who supports the ZBrush to KeyShot Bridge (ZBridge)? A: Although it was developed in close association with Luxion, this is a Pixologic product and is supported by us. ©2015 Pixologic, Inc. All rights reserved.

Small Update!! After puking Blood for a few hours I finally got the basic shape of the body down but I had to redo the head almost completely. I'm was trying to make a stylized anatomy with the big head but it looks mostly human for now... I can pose the body however I want later right? Do I use the Transpose?

Do not Bend, Fold, Spyndal, or Mutilate. hhehehehehe!!!!! Spyndal, you mean like that? That was just a very quick test, but also some of the earlier images use the array thingy too, its awesome. Nanomesh is next. GRIN!!!! I LOVE THIS PROGRAM! Yoogy, I know what its like being too busy, and it sorta sucks! It would seem that i have missed a BUNCH of your work, Im looking in your gallery now.... Holy mackerel! More soon, speaking of busy theres a bit of a wind storm happening here and that means I need to get to work... BLAH!

Hey there ! Been busy with my job everyday, not much free time to work on my personal stuff ! Been able to do another model tho ! Not that much happy with it, even if I tried to keep an illustrated look as much as possible, I felt it didn't really suit the much more realistic model ! Was fun tho, been able to try some stuff and learned a lot It's a fan art of Fran from Final Fantasy XII ! Even if I didn't like the game that much, I really LOVED every design in it, especially her ! Wanted to model her for a pretty long time so here's my take at it ! Modeling in Maya&Zbrush, Render in ZBrush, Compositing in Photoshop ! Fran - Final Fantasy XII And a little Turn Around here : https://vimeo.com/118219906 Hope you like it tho ! I'm currently working on refining her body's topology, which is WAY too much subdivided ! I'll update the video soon. I'll post probably tomorrow a WIP on the next piece I'm working on ! I'll go back to something that looks way more like my Butterfly Girl, very illustrative and more graphic ! I'm trying to push this style more and get something more personal by trying to do my own concepts.... Cheers !

Hey Buddies! As you well know i've been involved with the beta team for the amazing new Zbrush 4r7, was really cool and i think they have really cool new features like Zmodeler or the bridge between keyshot and Zbrush. Anyway i would like to share here things i did for them , hope you like it!

Hi Everyones, Sorry for my late,i was really busy, So i see, a lot of questions, well, O/MI : Well, i will do a video of my process once i've got more time to show. Masart: Thanks man! LeoAMD: Thank you dude! dingle001: I promise, hen i've got more time, i wil prepar a video of my process. Daniel Biggers: I'm glad to know it can help you, thanks for your kind words, dont hesitate to post your next modeling in the zbrushcentral forum! how long? it depend, i think after 2 weeks to play with it, you can understand all the tools. it's really fun when you find workflow to design what you really want. One tips? try each tools in the zmodeler brushe and mix, try to do basic shapes. Don't do a complexe modeling at the beginning, cause it's other way to modeling, not like others 3D programs. I think we dont have to compare it with 3d software. It's cool way to stay on zbrush, to stay focus on your modeling or sculpt, to not export in other softs. ryankingslien: Thanks man, i put all love i have to show you the power and potential of Zmodeler. Mahlikus : Yes, it was a great experience mate Freewaldo: Totally agree!!!! thanks! jelee: Thank you man, i'm enjoy the workflow, it takes me few times to improve it, but i did it! can't wait to see yours ! hdani28560: Hehe! you will be so happy when you modeling eveything with your wacom stylet! Pendraia: Thank you, be patient, i will do a short video when i will find time, actually, i can't, so busy, sorry. djwaterman: Thank you, yes, design was my priority, over the technique modeling, Cool you find it! the famous Qcube! andreseloy: Good question, forgot all you learn about 3d applications, it's a new way to modeling, one tips? Try crease tool with Dynamic sub-D, it's one of my favorite tool! and here, others renders of the robot arms (it was a work in progress) , i've done when once ,i understood the tool. Thanks everyones for your comments.

Hello my dear friends! Finally found some time to polish her more. Happy to say the project is still alive. Before introducing this changes I also worked a lot on making the environment for the final render. And oh, that's a lot of stuff is going on behind the scenes so don't think I'm fulling around all this time So I finally added arms and hands. Forearms are looking a bit too long though. Plus they need more love and polishing. I always have troubles when sculpting wrist flexors in pronated position. Tried also to implement changes suggested by several users above. Thank you guys! I already had some skin striation at her back so to refine her back I was forced to smooth everything. Also I did it without symmetry on, so the left Serratus anterior is bulging more under the Latissimus dorsi compare to the right side. Will fix it tomorrow. Usually I just sculpt my own hands since they are quite delicate and fit nicely to female characters. This time I used another reference. Mainly because she needs specific hands with prominent features (she is a devilish spirit after all), but also to add some variety. I worked at her face as well. Still not satisfied with the result. I think I would try break the symmetry next since her face is quite asymmetrical. And maybe make her cheek-bones slightly prominent. And add some stray hair cause now the hair line looks weird. Any advices would be really helpful. This is the last WIP image of this character I upload here. Just don't want to annoy you with numerous iterations. Next time I will post a finished figure or maybe even posed. Cheers!

It's been a while since I touched ZBrush but what better way to hop back on the horse than with this magnificent update of ZBrush 4R7! So, I had a lot of crashes from a variance of things (the wires from the polyframe kept disappearing, bridging with the ZModeler not working, array mesh not working, importing sub tools, blah blah blah). Anyway, I made a weird chair and hope to make more because once I figured out a little bit, I got soooo fun! Thanks Pixoxlogic! Video Here: http://youtu.be/op3jYv1l_hQ

@Eric: Theres a lot of pages because I never shut up! Its been awesome, and with this new stuff promises to be even more so. I would be careful with some of the tutorials, they are now, in many cases, rather obsolete, I will work on updating them at some point, but I don't think that the ZBC admins will let me change the old ones. @PFC: Yah, I know!!! Its insane how different things are and yet how much easier! This is 1,356 polygons:

Hi Fellow Zbrushers I had the extreme honor of being on the Betateam - needless to say, it was a blast!!!! Z4R7 is awesome in so many ways - our community is - once again - in for a huge treat. More soon but you know how it is... so little time, so many ideas... oh well... here's the first batch.

This is my second try, i just need as much help as possible to get a better quality!!! So do not be shy and please make a lot of constructive critics!!!! ^^ Tnx a lot for any help i'll receive!!!! This is the final result. Step 1. Step2. Step 3. Division.

Yup. Tons! Like Ctrl+Shift+alt+Z = ZModeler Brush! Just another angle I forgot to upload yesterday.

Here's a jumper, rendered in mental ray and Maya. All models are ZBrush and textures were polypainted in ZBrush (fur is Maya + Paint Effects). A link to my animated version: http://vimeo.com/117559794 and the model in ZBrush with some fibermesh tests:
