Pixologic Release: PaintStop plugin for ZBrush 3.1 Windows & ZBrush 3.2 MacOSX

While i love Zbrush and appreciate the effort, my first gut reaction is,

"Great a program NOT as good as Painter or Photoshop. I don’t know why anyone at Pixologic would want to go down this road of being like the 3rd or 4th best painting program out there.

Meanwhile I cant add a new layer if i’ve added one in a previous subdivision. Nor can i delete certain .ztl’s that I no longer need.

I really like the program. Is it ok to toss out a few wants?

Unlimited Layers.

Transparency Slider Control for Layers. This way you can see your ref images contained under the W.I.P. layer better.

The ability to grab colors from ref images. You can do that with the C button, but when you move over to the next layer. The color you grabbed disappears.

Plotted Path Brush control.

Animations: Frame creation ability. Letting the user store the finished frame as a new layer under the next frames active layer, for image flip between/trace/study emulation. Being able to save the final work as a movie file.

Hope this sounds friendly. I really like this plug in. :+1:

Pixologic is the best software company ever. None other even comes close. Once again you’ve given something fantastic. Thank you very much. Now I don’t need to upgrade to Painter 11. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZoooooooowwwweeee!!!

:+1: :+1: :+1: Out of curiosity, how long did this take you?

Thanks for this awesome update! I was wondering if there was a way to symmetry paint X and/or Y axis with Paintstop or is that in the works???

It seems reasonable, since you can do it on a 3D plane given that you divide the plane mesh at a good res to get good results.

If not, I will make it a request.

It would be a really cool feature that I haven’t found in any other paint software.

:smiley:

I think Sketchbook Pro does that, but awesome idea, I’d find many uses for it.

a workaround would be to either turn one side into a stencil, flip it and then rub your paint through it.
or
copy/import your image flip it and use the clone brush to bring it to another layer.
and of course there’s the option to bring it into another program.

personally i don’t really understand the need for this myself but i’m sure others do.

Actually I was thinking that if paintstop works with spotlight and lightbox then it may be a photoshop killer for me; depending on how well zbrush4 and its new features work. I am very hopeful though.

The layers thing is a real problem still. I do hope they do something about that in 3.5. Zbrush has layers already so I can’t see why it can’t work with them. Hopefully it will be fixed in an update as well as an added merge or drop to canvas feature.

Paintstop is also allot slower than the other apps so that is a major downside that hopefully gets fixed in 3.5 or another update. but it is so cool that I find myself trying to work around all of its shortcomings.

Well, actually it was my girlfriend, and it took her like 3 hours, to get to that point… She didn´t have a lot of wacom experience, to this point…
I tried a similar picture, but it´s obviously a knowing how to paint thing, because it wasn´t quite good…

I’m really loving this plug in! Still loads to get used to :slight_smile: I just started working on this little scribble:

There really is some amazing work being done with Paintstop. Thanks Pixologic! You guys are awesome!

First try with PaintStop …

…trick :idea:
When you have yet a 2.5 D drawing on the Zbrush Canvas
Just draw a little 3D volume on it
Then you can import directly inside PaintStop pressing buton PaintStop
Then Menu Tracing/ Merge to the Canvas
et voilà :smiley: petit_pois.jpg

This new feature is wicked. I like to doodle, draw, etc in RL. Made this one for my g/f.
