*** Introducing Spotlight and Lightbox

ZBrush Announcements
#82

I think they added lots of new image processing tools which are useful it surely will be a workflow enhancements allowing for speed.
I like the concept of the circle sort like a pie menu on steroids + placement tool, if i’ve ot that right.

what i’d like to see is painting workflow enhancements for low poly, with layers, and fusion methods , and also an awesome workflow for creating all the different maps required for 3d easily within Zbrush without so many passages.

also, enhanced retopology/rigging tools.

however I think Z4 will rock as always. :wink:

#83

seems cool and all, but where are the interface changes ? Its already dated by at least 5 years, even after 6 yers of using zbrush, i still hate it and it gives me a lot of problems. I hope they will show more O_o

#84

The masking tool to remove unwanted parts of a ref picture looks promising.

#85

Such a great feature! Well done.

p.s.: don’t want to sound pedantic, this is a bit the stuff of typo-hunting creeps, but the opening title “what if the world was your pallet…” is hilarious.

#86

Yeah, because who needs support for multiple texture channels, multiple layers per texture, or PSD file format?

Honestly… the tech is very impressive, but pretty basic industry standard features are still missing. No animation studio will throw out their licenses of Bodypaint (or mudbox…) just because of this.

#87

True, unless as I mentioned earlier…

IF pixologic has made Zbrush 4 capable to allow the artist to paint on like 50 polygons (not hundred, thousand, or billion) but just 50 regular polygons with accurate pixel information and not some blur 1x1 pixel.

I think Pixologic is in for a long ride with this new Zbrush to be out.

#88

THATS IT!! ,IM NEVER EVER GONNA SCULPT IN ZBRUSH AGAIN!!!

p.s “Because looks like im gonna be too busy texturing with this wonderful freebie toy for years to come :)” Fab work pixologic you are so very wonderful,Thank you so much.

#89

Awesome!
I think that if u get used to this new tools zb4 texture painting will be thrilling!
Have to agree with Crazymatt though about the ability to paint in 3d with real pixel infos.
Can’t wait to test this out :stuck_out_tongue:

#90

this is SICK!

#91

I’m very new here…and new to 3D…and only discovered zbrush about 6 months ago…but I think dollar for dollar,Zbrush is the greatest graphics software I have ever seen.

#92

Pixologic rules.

:+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: .

#93

Aliens… They’re aliens I tells ya:laughing:

Top shelf vid guys:+1:small_orange_diamond:+1:

#94

wow!

#95

Amazing! That wheel thingy looks so sweet. At a guess I’d say they are saving the best till last and I can’t even begin to imagine what that might be :eek:

#96

Trying to steal some customers from adobe too?
This is looking great even though you wont always find such fitting pictures.
Anyways best song best programm best “we are part of this” community.
Almost like hippys minus the treehugging :smiley: :+1:

#97

For low poly model, it is the UV map method that yield optimum pixel to pixel alignment, the blur effect only make the seam less obvious above 1024 resolution.
No optimized UV mapping algorithm can address this except manually align the UV seam border to match by the amount of pixel and UV mesh angle.
I have prepared a set of such models for free at:

This is great - I hope ZB4 will take advantage of Snow Leopard technology and will be a full 64-bit capable application for the mac! this alone will be worth the anticipation. We - mac people - also need zapplink 3 as soon as possible…

thanks pixologic

#99

first when i read lightbox i was thinking about some external renderer included
you guys should have a chat with chaosgroup. Force them to produce
a pixol vray ^^

#100

I am not so sure about that unless there are feather selection and layers has its usage to build up texture before you decide to merge them and post processing by graphic designers, not straight forward piece of Zbrush Art.

#101

Also could you guys please forbid alexeia to post comments!
I know hes havin all the beta greatness and is thinking
why are those guys so exited by the simple stuff.
Im so yealous ill maybe rob a bank to get flight tickets to brazil
and steal his computer :smiley:
