As amazing as zbrush is at organic creation I’ve been really loving Google Sketchup for creating mechanical and architectural elements.
(try it it’s free, there are also plugin’s for obj export, but you won’t like the mesh in zbrush)
I’m trying to find a renderer, hopefully free, that I can export models from both zbrush and google Sketchup.
Currently I’m using kerkythea www.kerkythea.com. It’s been wonderful for sketchup, kinda sketchy for zbrush models.
None of my maps or UV’s are landing on the model right in kerkythea. (It’s probably me, This is an area I’m trying to learn and right now am totally bafffled by, feel free to point me to any concise tuts)
What I’m wondering is is there a better free renderer out there that you guys are having a very seamless workflow with zbrush? Any recommendations.
