Finally, after a very, very long weekend, everything finally works.
Big thank you to

I see the cuts I’m looking for here:

but that’s timelapse so it is too fast :slight_smile: Gives me hope that it is in there somewhere at least :smiley:

Try to split two lines - you can move & stitch the points and delete any extra lines (most of the time) - options for edges and points in the pop up menus.

@ MIkademius

You can cut polys quickly with the slice curve brush. Hide backfacing polys if you want to protect them.

Zbrush does not support N-gons though. If you slice halfway through a quad Zbrush will insert edges to force quads and tris that will have to be stitched if they bother you.

You can find more info in this thread:

That gets me going in the right direction, so thank you. The license seems to have installed, but zbrush quits every time I try to render in keyshot. So frustrated. :frowning:

That’s weird. Crash on KS export…

I think there’s a troubleshooting thread, somewhere, regarding ZB and Keyshot.

Spyndel was pointing people toward it a day or so ago.

R7 Questions and Troubleshooting thread here:

Thank you, Spyndel. :slight_smile:

I wanted to bookmark that thread, myself.

Edit: Nice! Just saw one of my questions answered, right off the bat.

Download the Keyshot for ZBrush from here: https://www.keyshot.com/zbrush/

There is too many threads and answers …

So my question is : Can we get back a serial for ZBrush 4R6 that we had to get rid of to run 4R7 ?

Thanks for help

Michel

You can remove ZB 6, but don;t forget to move your doc,s, brushes that you made, textures etc, etc.
Greetings, Scorpio.

Great update as always.
Congreats en many thanks to your great team.

Not sure if this has been answered or not.

I gave a shot to Nanomesh today by trying to create a tiling texture by distributing rocks around the subdivided plane. However it seems like its impossible to get it to tile across X and Z axis.

Did anyone found a solution for that to do it on the fly? Thanks in advance!

Okay, well bought Keyshot and bridge Friday morning, still no email. Anyone else waiting?

Yes. :lol:

I mean, it’s not funny, but in a perverse way, it kind of is.

There’s an email I got, giving directions to successful support.

Basically, if I reply to my support ticket, I bump myself to the back of the line.

Whee…

Oh, well…at least 4R7 works ok for me!

I am loving on this upgrade. Seriously.

Okay, well I just carry on waiting then. And yes, 4R7 is very cool. At least I can spend time playing with all the new tools…

The hard-surface modelling is excellent. I think a lot of existing apps should look at this workflow and take note!

Yes, I like that hard surface system. :slight_smile:

From an artistic viewpoint, it is very convenient.

I was wondering if the ZB hard surface setup would influence other software packages, when it comes to future upgrades.

Painting polygroups is just wonderful.

Hello everyone.

Could you help me please, is it possible to use nano mesh not to center of polys but only at each vertex of mesh?

Yes, I’m still waiting too…bought on friday morning but still not resolved.
I’ve had 2 generic emails with no luck yet… and it really annoys me when the only advice i get is to check my spam folder!

I don’t know…there’s probably a thread somewhere that you could ask an expert about that. :slight_smile:

Sigh…I haven’t reached the “I’m annoyed” point yet.

But I am wondering “when.” :wink:

I finally got my Keyshot download links today, after waiting for 4 days! Going to install tonight. :smiley:

Jan19 mentioned something a few posts back, but I think it’s worth repeating since I had no idea this was happening until today. DO NOT reply to your support ticket or any emails you get from support. I found out today that every time I replied to the email I got from support, I was bumping myself back to the back of the line. I would have probably received my download links a lot sooner if I had never replied. So everybody just sit tight and wait. You will get your download links eventually.
