Hi Mark,

Thanks so much for your invaluable additions to ZBrush and for helping out so many ZBrushers!!!

When I was on the Paintstop beta team I immensely enjoyed working with you. I was and still am very impressed with your coding capabilities, your out of the box thinking and the artistic works you create.

Thanks again and all the best!! !!

Enjoy your well earned retirement Marcus! I’ve seen from afar how much you’ve helped everyone and have nothing but the utmost respect for you and your efforts. Thank you on behalf of the many users who have benefitted from your generosity and talents. You made the community stronger, Pixologic were lucky to have you, and that’s the highest compliment that can be paid.

@marcus_civis It’s been an absolute honor to work with you the past 13 years. Thank you for everything you’ve given the community and your commitment to excellence.

The contributions you’ve provided cannot be put into words for me. You’ve done so much for the team and the users of ZBrush. Your work will live on forever.

It was always a great pleasure to work with you on projects and continue to discuss what we could create together as a team.

Your kindness, commitment, generosity, eye for detail and work ethic is unmatched.

Enjoy your retirement. Looking forward to see your next illustration.

All the best.

Paul

Thanks guys, I really appreciate all your kind words!

It’s no exaggeration to say that ZBrush changed my life and I’ve really enjoyed being part of this great community over the years. I’m sure I shall drop back in now and again to see how things are going and to see what great art is being produced with this wonderful program.

Cheers!
Marcus

What a wonderful opportunity this thread is to salute a person who has literally changed the way I work on a day-to-day basis! I’ve been sculpting toys, game pieces and bubble bath bottles for nearly thirty years, when I started, we did everything physically and I can only work digitally now because of all the wonderful tools ZBrush has to replicate things I used to do in the ‘real world’. Thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Farewell Mark. You will be sorely missed. Thank you for all your marvelous contributions over the years. And thank you for writing/sending me custom Zscirpts when it wasn’t at all expected. You went above and beyond with your generosity.

And personally, it was quite a few versions after the Gizmo was introduced that I finally moved away from the Transpose Line. The Transpose design is a work of creative genius. But hey, I still use it all the time for measuring.

Take it handy, mate. Enjoy the retirement.

Marcus will be sorely missed. I am so grateful to him for his help.

I came to ZBrushcentral years ago trying to figure out how to script the import of certain data files: neuron morphology data from neuromorpho.org. This would allow medical illustrators and animators to create accurate neuron models from scientific data.I had already implemented this for another 3D app (Cinema4D), so I had the parsing and logic sketched out, but I struggled getting my Python brain to understand ZScript.

Marcus came along and essentially solved the whole problem, and graciously let me share the result with the world. Throughout he was kind and enthusiastic, and it would not have happened without his knowledge and guidance.

Thank you, Marcus!

If anyone is interested, the scripts are available here: https://github.com/NWoolridge/NeuronBuild

Farewell Marcus!

It goes without saying that Zbrush, this community and CG art in general would not be what it is without you. You’ve helped hundreds of thousands with your hard work and generosity!
