Hey Paul, thanks so much for posting these tuts for the community. They are informative.:wink:

One question about this last one though. What is the point of masking and sub dividing only a specific area of the mesh if you are just going to project that detail onto another mesh that inst sub divided in that area and so therefore cannot hold that same level of detail?

It seems to defeat the whole purpose if the area you are projecting to doesnā€™t hold the same amount of polys. Maybe I am missing somethingā€¦

Thanks so much for the Tuts. They are so great. Straight to the point and loving it.

This is the best thread by far.

You make a good point. I would have to do some more tests to see what happens if I did not use this approach. More or less I guess I just wanted to show people that you could subdivide a small part of a tool and how you can use the ZProject Brush or Project All to fix issues you may run into. Looking back I should of broke this video into two. One on the subdividing and the other on how to use Project All and ZProject to solve several issues that you could run into. Thank you for the call out, it looks like I will need to do more tests:D

DAnconiaā€“thank you for the kind words. Iā€™m glad this thread is helping out;)

This is also the point of this thread too. A place we all can come to for workflow ideas and challenge thoughs flows to make them stronger.

Keep the posts coming.

Alright community I know it has been awhile. I was extremely busy and I had a family emergency. This video will demonstrate using the primitive 3D Circle to make a complex clamp for a Roman Empireā€™s cape. I also hope this video will encourage you to take a look at the primitives in an initial state. Think about how a cube or sphere can possiblely give you a really quick base mesh. Enjoy :smiley:

Hello ZBrush Community

Here is a 2 part video of using the ZProject Brush. This is an extremely powerful brush that will hopefully give you ideas of how to create some really interesting sculpts. In this video I use the ZProject Brush to combine two sculpts into one. In Part 2 I use the ZProject Brush to texture using images. Enjoy the videos. PART 1

Hello ZBrush Community

This video is on the Alpha Texture Loader. Itā€™s a really great way to organize all the alphas and textures in ZBrush and have quick access.

Here is the link to download the plug-in. Enjoy :smiley:

hi there gabo1991, i think the download links are not working again, trying to download Alpha Texture Loader Tutorial, but its giving me Following error "The requested server name is valid, but it does not have the correct data associated data being resolved (The host itself exists but is not directly reachable)
whats the problem? :frowning:

#99

Hi gabo saw this thread and it looks like you have the same issues I had when it comes to sharing videos.

We have to place them in 13 different locations just to get them worldwide friendly.

Might I sudjest Mediafire.com?

Took years of stress away after I started using it.

BUT do not go pro its a rip off. Just keep the file sizes under 100megs and its free.

Pro you get charged for bandwidth!

enjoy :wink:
