Some MatCap Materials for your ZB3 Pleasure :-)

Hi,

I played around half of today with this awesome “MatCap” tool and sampled a lot of photos and explored some of the settings. What a cool and fun way to define materials!!!

Then I thought, hey, maybe someone else will like those too :smiley:

So here you go, have fun!

Extract the files to your ZStartup\Materials folder…

Here are some example images:

I hope you like it,

ps:your Messiah plugins works fine in the 2.5c v any update?

#3

Can’t wait to get home and work on some of my own! But these are pretty nice!

#4

I’m happy you like them :slight_smile:
MatCap rocks!

Andreseloy: Well, I don’t plan to do any updates currently on the messiah plugins. pmGs development pace isn’t exactly motivating for me and I personally no longer use messiah… :frowning:

But if you have any issues, let me know and I will fix them ASAP!

Cheers,

Thomas Helzle

Andreseloy

#6

Neat materials … thx :).

#7

very kind of you, Thomas…much appreciated. :slight_smile:

#8

Thank you!

So, should all new mats go in the StartUp > Mat folder, or the ZB3 > Materials folder? I haven’t got that far through all the notes yet.

#9

…of colors :cool:

#10

Hehehe - thanx for the friendly feedback everybody :wink:

Moochie: I haven’t come much farther than you with all those notes I guess, but if you want the materials to show up when you start ZBrush, this folder is the one for you.
If not, you can put them anywhere you want and load them by hand.

BTW. The ZB3 docs talk about creating cavity maps with ZMapper, but the old one crashes ZB3 here - is there a new one already or how does that work???

Cheers,

Thanks :+1:

Stuck working today. Everytime I open ZBrush3 the phone rings. Looking at these mats I can see a sleepless night is coming on. Thanks again.

#12

Thanks a lot, very interesting materials, I’m looking forward experimenting in this direction too…:slight_smile:

#13

Thanks! And so quick! :+1:

#14

Finally had some time. Is there a way to get more control over the arrow. It just keeps snapping around and I cant control it like I want to? I must be misunderstanding something?

#15

Thanks Thomas they look exceptional!

#16

Ialways search for material these are awesome :slight_smile: thanks for sharing

#17

Cool - it seems everybody has a good time with theese :slight_smile: :+1:

Blaine91555: Hm - I didn’t have that problem, the arrows are easily adjustable here. Sure a bit more control would be nice but what you discribe sounds more like a problem with your mouse or tablet?
Sorry, don’t know enough myself yet :wink:

My main ZB3 crashing reason seems to be switching between the “Rapid UI” and the “Classic UI”… :confused:

Cheers!

Thom,

Thanks for posting these materials. They are a great start to a new library…:smiley:

The Cheese and Mango ones are personal faves.

Thanks for sharing. I hadn’t even got to the materials yet. The material capture thing looks like voodoo!

BTW I get the same crash as you flipping between the 2 UI’s. You are not alone:D
