Thanks guys!

Hey thanks you guys. I’d put my own on but I don’t know how. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Fantastic idea to have a dedicated thread, but I gotta say, it wouldn’t work in most places. The generosity and support of people here never ceases to amaze me! The previous post suggests the possibility of someone knocking up a quick how-to for us nuff-nuffs Great idea I think!:+1:

Thanx for these great looking mats guys, they look great!:slight_smile:

Smart start, E. Your mats are stunning and very individual. Thanks for sharing!

Some ZWIKI Resources:

THE BASICS
First thing that will help is a link to the MatCap Wiki Page with an excellent introduction to concepts:

* 1 Introduction * 2 MatCap Basics * 3 MatCap in Action: Photo Integration * 4 How Does it Work? * 5 MatCap Materials * 6 MatCap Provides Immediate Visual Feedback * 7 Sampling From Photo Reference o 7.1 Setup o 7.2 Defining Surface Normals o 7.3 Defining Specularity o 7.4 Adjusting Normals o 7.5 Fine-Tuning * 8 Capturing Real-Time Materials From The Canvas * 9 Capturing A and B Material Maps o 9.1 Reptile Skin Example o 9.2 Metal Pipes Example

MEATS MATCAP TUTORIAL
Next A Meats step-by-step tut using a photo of a scull to create a convincing MatCap skull material (you can also download Meats’ custom sculpy material there.)

SEBCESOIR’S BIRTH TUTORIAL PART 3
In part three of Sebcesoir’s World Tour Tutorial he offers a nice idea for creating and rendering the MatCap Sphere outside ZBrush, with excellent “Mimic Material” results.

Happy MatCapping!

The MatCaps I made were from DarkTree Shaders in Lightwave. I got permission from DarkTree to share them, but the 40 materials occupy 7.8MB download. I have them stored as a single zip file on RapidShare. Here is a link to download them: SloshMATS

I posted these in another thread a few days ago but they got lost in the shuffle, as often happens on ZBrushCentral. I don’t know if anyone has tried to download them yet, so someone let me know how the link works out.

RaelNorth,

Yeah, me too… The page has been deleted. I’m going to remove the link from my previous post.

Ah, found this thread too late, already posted these as a separate thread.

This is a a small compilation of rather nice MatCap materials I have made since I got my hands on Zbrush 3. Most of these are made from photos I’ve taken.
