thanks for including the female anatomy figure in the release… it’s a truly amazing work of art…thanks ryan and pixologic…

#124

I’ll second the thanks to Ryan Kingslien! the anatomy info encoded in that model is probably the best part of the upgrade. seriously.

I had the same impression last night, but since it seemed a little laggy on my desktop , but not on my notebook although both have the same computing power I wondered what the difference might be and right away checked my wacom settings.
after comparing I noticed that there is one setting I had activated on my laptop, but not on the desktop. it’s under options and deals with pressure sensitivity compatibility. see the attached image which unfortunately shows the german menu, but it should still help you locate the option in the menu.

once I activated that setting it seemed a lot smoother again. didn’t seem to matter with the previous Zbrush version though.

I got it updated without problem. thanks again good good work

I got a question: when I open the Deactivation palette the only option that I get is “Manually Deactivate”.
I can´t see the “Web Deactivation” option. Also I opened lightbox and click on the WWW button but no content is displayed.

I think ZBrush is not connecting… how can I solve this.

My internet is working and I´ve installed R2 version.
Thanks in advance.

last doodle for the day , a very cool addition to zbrush, i’ve smacked hair on some of my old models to test with and you can get cool results in no time.

This one was a try at a funky forest ;p

I can`t get the Z4R2b update to work and I followed the steps to the word.

It just says activation succesful, then a second later tells me the activation failed!? I`ve tried all the trouble shooting tips I can find with no success.

I submitted a ticket and I hope this can be resolved fast, as I had a perfectly working copy of Zbrush until this morning!!

#135

Well I didn’t have to hold my breath too long this time however I’ve had a play with the new Hair feature and so far I’ve not encountered any crash issues in this particular area of the program so far so thats a good thing and it’s quite fun to use. You might have read my reservations on the hair aspect of it to comparable apps and while it is pretty much what I expected it to be, it does have some nice touches in the modelling aspects from looking at the documenatation and having a play. While it lacks the depth of Cinema 4D’s hair system from a technical and flexibility aspect…it’s unique and hands on in kinda bucket and spade way, which is rather familiar to how the rest of Zbrush works as you’d expect.

I do have a question and I have looked in the documentation to try and find this but how do you make the hair actual geometry so I can export it back to C4D using goz. In C4D it just shows up as the object in which the hair was formed on.

Thanks,

As for my other problems with the Deformation tools, yep they are still not behaving and lead to an unpredictable crash, luckily on the occasion when it did crash a backup was created in the ‘Recovered Projects folder’. (Though on past versions it’s also had the dredded TERMINAL EXCEPTION Error) Ths is a memory leak problem that is only going to be fixed through 64 Bit implentation in version 5 I think.

Nice additions in this update though.

#138

Make polymesh 3d.

#139

Yep tried that, same result. (I want the hair attached also)

#140

Update went perfectly! Been playing around with Fibermesh. Is there anyway to add highlights to the fur?
