New to Z-Brush and 3d modelling

[system]

I have done some sculpting and drawing. I would like to attempt some work in this 3D computer generated media. Is it possible to only use the Z Brush program without importing other base work done from other programs like Maya? I would really prefer to work on one platform. Also can 2-D images be imported into the program to work from as a reference point? I am thinking of making maquettes then 3-D print a master copy for production molds.

Best regards,

Jodee

The answer to both questions is yes.

The only reason you would ever need another app is if you’re animating.

As for reference images, try using ZBC’s search feature. You’ll find quite a few threads on this and even a ZScript utility or two. For that matter, there’s also info in the online documentation. See my signature.
