I too would hope for these and many other box modeling ( or any other modeling) functions. I hate having to use Silo or Cinema to model my base mesh first. Don’t get me wrong, I love those apps and ZB Zifs are wonderful and all but sometimes, the ability to handle faces, points, and edges and have they’re various functions is a wonderful thing. Then again, maybe I am thinking to traditionally.
These guys never cease to amaze me. (Hi Mahlikus). I can’t even think of what to say, except that I have to get back into ZBrush…I’m awestruck by the possibilities.
Brian!!
So good to see you Buddy!
Damn Good at that…and YES YOU DO need to
get back into Z!
Hi, Slosh. Yeah, you should get back into Z as well. We want to see the Z3 work of the old gang. Too many absent people here. Myself included, but I’ve started to shake the rust off to get ready for Z3. I’m looking forward to see your stuff.
Yeah, I really miss the old ZBrush gang. I won’t tie up alot of this thread with it, but I spent many hours learning and sharing with all of you. So many new people now, so many that are leagues ahead of me artistically, I feel like a doof in here anymore. But, I’m gonna try to post again and see what happens.
Brian
I think we all feel like that in some way.
Just keep looking up and keep working
at it and the rest is pure fun.
Especially with Z.
And now…with Z3 around the corner.
AWESOME!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW YOU GUYS ROOOOCKKKK!!! Man i just finished watching that preview movie and its AMAZING. You guys did a REALLY GREAT job. I Love you Pixologic!!!
Another thing I noticed in the Video,
MUCH smoother transition from the
cavity properties to the material. At
Least that is the way it looks from
watching the gallery images in the
begin of the video. I hope it is because
this is something I have been hoping
for for a while now.
In ZB 2 a 3D mesh is considered to be a “tool”. So you have to save it in the tools pallette. If you save it in the usual way, what is saved is the 2D version of what you see on your screen.
Does anyone know if this workflow has changed in ZB 3? Can you save a file and it will save the file like in any other 3D app. or will ZB still flatten the file if you don’t save the image and the tool separately.
One can only imagine what lays ahead for us in the next version of ZB.
BTW, it’s good to see the old crew is starting to return! 
Another thing that is a big must is some sort of autosave feature.
I have wanted something like this for a REALLY long time. I have lost
way too much of my work and modeling and things. Would be cool to have now.
hi all, i don’t know if just asked…
if possible utilize rig system with imported mesh ?
thx

Yep, you can rig a imported model. At least, this was shown in the old 2.5 videos.
At the very least, you can use transpose to pose it. So who knows, the old rigging vids have disappeared.
I hope I’m posting this in the correct place.
Are there head models (tools, objects? sorry, Im new ) I can download to practice on? I’m looking for basic male and female heads I can sculpt into photorealistic work without having to start from scratch. Ive searched and couldnt find any.
thanks in advance
Under Support, Download center on the main zbrush site…

Bottom of the page, humans, heads, horse, dog, elephant, and a few others.
Thanks for the info!
I feel the rigging function we used to see in the old videos IS the transpose function now. Maybe not…time will tell.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. THe other thing I was wondering too was if you can display more than one texture on an object at a time. I wonder if they fixed that.
Well, I must say, ZB3 does look nice indeed… I think I’ll finally take the time to learn it. Just haven’t had time, and I’ve owned ZB for years now, just had too many other things going on to learn it. But that’s all done now. I have nothing but time, and I aim to make the most of it, that’s for sure. And on May 15th, I’ll be learning in style.
Again, pixologic team put the level to the sky.
it’s another amazing upgrade with crazy tools!!
God bless Ofer Alon…
