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

Here are the Titans that we sculpted over at Dead Panic Studios. Titan Eren sculpted by Ron McLeroy Titan Annie sculpted by Eric Askue Titans textured by Pablo and Pedro Hurtado Final comp by Jeff Paulsrud Thanks to Universal Studios Japan for the allowing us to help out with their project.

Here is the latest. I also did a pose cause I got tired of looking at the same boring T-ish pose. Zbrush crashed just as I was saving the image. I am thinking its because my model is so dense at its highest levels (cant wait to see how Z64 handles the model, tired of crashes, expecially while I am saving the model). I did however figure out a nice trick. Once I had the Zbrush is not responding do you want to wait message. I waited about 15 minutes (which was not easy to do) and I still had the error. Since I only did the pose for fun but didn't want to lose the image (or time spent), I took a screenshot of it cropped it in PS and fixed the contrast/brightness levels. Its not as good as the full res version but at least I got what I was looking for which was just a different posed image to add some personality in the art.

We are excited to introduce our latest Digital Character system: Quantum Human AUTOMATIC HUMAN MODELLING & RIGGING FROM ARBITRARY MESH www.quantum-human.com We believe Zbrush users can vastly benefit from it because any A-pose character can be topologized and rigged in few minutes, even you don't have any knowledge on topology and Rigging. Besides 3D sculpts, 3D scan is another great source of input. The system basically accept arbitrary topology and only analyse the shape and then plug everything into your shape. As you see from the demos in the site, the simplest mode even allows 1-click operation and your character becomes alive.

Gorgua came out, like many of my personal projects, from a life experience. I had just come back home from Trojan Horse was a Unicorn event and had this feeling that I am on a Journey, like so many other great artists out there. Either just starting out or with already established careers we all (artists or not) have a quest and a journey in life. Having that in mind, I wanted to portrait that feeling and storytelling into a character that would relate and appeal to people that feel the same. The whole project is an 8 page step by step tutorial with 11 hours of video tutorial to follow. I offer my vision and workflow using Zbrush and Keyshot, plus some photoshop for the final post. Words can't express how much I like Zbrush and for the endless possibilities that this software grants people, specially to create something from nothing. So thank you Pixologic, thank you thank you Luxion and Adobe and 3D World magazine for this great opportunity of sharing my knowledge. It's a great and rewarding feeling to know that somewhere, somehow I'll be helping someone learn a couple of things. Have a great weekend everyone.

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

I have a limited understanding of zzbrush since I"m still new to the software so I just need some help on this issue I'm having so forgive me if a lot of what I have to say doesn't make sense.. Basically I have this wall I made from 3ds Max, the edges were creased and turbosmoothed4 times, unwrapped it with a planar map, then exported to zbrush as an .obj, . From there I increased the subdivision a few levels, applied an "unwrap all" from the uv master then used a texture map I created for a displacement map. Displacement applied Polyframe model before displacement Here's where I'm having difficult now, in the first picture above the brick texture being applied to the displacement is rotating a few degrees, and I don't know if it's because of the UV'scausing it or if the texture needs to be rotated. If it's the latter, how do I adjust it? Second, on certain areas of the mesh the displacement is completely messed up and look terrible especially on the left and right sides. I'm also to assume this is because of the polyframe in zbrush, so I tried to use the zremesher to see if that would help, but with limited success, plus I don't know if I'm using it correctly or not. My next step was to use goz to export straight from 3ds to zbrush since I've read it helps with the UV transfer, but then I get another issue of not being able to edit or modify the object at all so I don't know if that is a bug issue or something I have to do in zbrush. Additionally the cursor is extremely small when I highlight over the geometry so I don't know what that means. Other steps I've tried: Exporting the .obj as a polygon instead of a quad. UVW mapping it as a box from 3ds. Making sure the vertices were welded. and various other things which I forgot, but they didn't work either. I've been at this for 2 days and have no idea what I'm doing at this point, and almost feel like giving up, but I was hoping you guys could address this issue for me and take a look at the 3ds file where I finally left off and tell me what I'm doing wrong because I'm at my wits end here. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/51608894/Wall.obj Thanks.

Hi everyone, Big fan of the Zbrush community and really glad to be able to be hear to share some of my work with you guys and hopefully get some feedback, seeing the work here I clearly still have much too learn. This is a recent piece I've worked on, it's a study of Cosimo I de'Medici by Benvenuto Cellini that I came across on a recent trip to Italy with a good friend of mine. I like to take alot of inspiration from history and from the Renaissance and classical periods in particular. This was my first time trying to make a composite render using different passes, in the past I've simply used Marmoset or the likes.

FourtyNights - thank you! Morganza - thanks! clwnface - Usually I'm using the references cos I believe this is the only way to be accurate unless one making really stylized stuff. Sorry but there is no way to buy models that was available some time ago. Cheers Eugene

Hello everybody! My name is Herik, I am new to the forum and this is the first time I post here. At some time I have been admiring the art of Holdeen, and when I saw this concept he called my attention by siloueta and bold design and TBM for the great plaleta colors. So I decided to model it and finalize in real time. I used Zbrush most of the process. Hope you enjoy!

Hi there my name is Alexander Berx. I'm a student at Digital Arts & Entertainment in Belgium, Kortrijk. I Have been sculpting for about a year now and these are some of the most recent ones i made. Feedback, suggestions or opinions about my work is always appreciated. if you want to see more of my work you can find my portfolio at: http://www.alexanderberx.com Cheers Alexander

Thanks Brother! Really was a great game, innovative for its time and fantastic story. I spent a long time immersed in the world of Myth, my favorite RTT (real-time tactics). Ever. Used this image as a reference:

Thanks guys!
