Im actually excited for the new zspheres/sculptris thing going on.
zbrush is an interesting program, full of really great ideas… too bad most of them are very poorly implemented!

btw, for everyone that is saying stuff about retopo, try topogun 2… its in beta but in my opinion better than 3d coat. although 3d coat is pretty cool too.
I was hoping we would see actualy texture painting (and owrking layers) but i guess thats probably not happening… it’s a shame, it would be so nice to use spotlight to actually do my final texture work. oh well, mudbox will have to suffice for that.

as far as simple sculpting and mesh creation goes, it looks like zbrush is and always will be the king (probably!)

btw, i really like the way a model looks in sculptris… the materials look really nice and 3d! I wish they would somehow implement that into zbrush one day!

  1. A revamped Retopology Tool please
  2. Layers and Fill Modes for texturing please

Booleans and Sculptris style sculpting look nice but they are not on my list of wishes.

I hope that’s not all.

Insane !
I wish a new retopo thing soon. Tired to launch TopoGun or 3DCoat to do the job

Cool stuff :+1:

this is going to be awesome!!! thanks!

I m surprised to read some people complains… it´s ok to have a list of wishes, i have my own wishes too, but wishes shouldnt become demands. The new features seen in this video are really mind blowing but some people are really dissapointed because it isnt what they were expecting. if you found other software to do what you demand , go and use it… I like zbrush to be creative and try to explore new ways with the risk of getting lost sometimes.

for example, I dont find spheres 2 very usefull… but maybe some others are crazy for them and are so happy to have them. I use zspheres rig a lot and i wish they would add some way to paint weights but i know they are not working for me… at least not ONLY for me…and only a few are really interested in rigging and animating inside zbrush so i will have to understand that they arent working on this right now…

quote from the first post “Z4R2 packs significant, new features, as well as major enhancements throughout ZBrush.
I do believe ZBrush 4R2 will enable you to be more creative and productive than ever before.”

We do not know what “major enhancements” mean, but it could cover bugfixes, so let’s at least try it out before comment on what’s missing :wink:

I’m not using all the features in ZB either, but am very pleased with the ones i do so far, and the ones that do have bugs I’m sure the pixo-team adress in this update…

Looks promising all in all!:+1:

I don’t see anyone really complaining, just being wishful which is understandable. There are some features that many people want (me included) which are becoming a common theme though. The only time Pixologic has really listened to anyone is back when ZB 2.0 came out (Weta). Now that felt like a massive jump in evolution over the previous version. Later releases have been more conservative, tending to focus more closely on one or two areas. This time around it is the lighting system, which was probably a lot of work, and a few other useful tidbits. I’m sure there are a lot of things Pixologic would love to add, including some of the features users really want, but resources like time, money, and man power are probably too limited to do any truly massive overhauls. They would likely have to charge for upgrades, in which case it would be harder to justify their tendency to go where they want and not where the users want. For a developer, an app is kind of like having a child. You want to raise them your way, not the way everyone thinks you should. This too is understandable. So long as we continue to respect their wishes, I’m sure they will do likewise with ours. Patience is the key, and if you don’t have that, then there are always other programs one can use to get the job done (provided you can afford them of course).

I’m curious if you could elaborate on that, I think I know what you mean but I’m not sure.

Cheers,
Mealea

gratz guys… this really looks amazing!

…things! :cool:
