ZBrush 4R7: Released!

skyways128…

Not an authority here (meaning me – I’m not an authority), but since nobody has replied –

With both ZB 4R6 and 4R7 installed, if I want to move my ZBrush license to to a new computer, can I deactivate just 4R7 and reactivate in the new computer, leaving 4R6 active in my older computer?

I think the answer is “yes.” :slight_smile: We can have 4r6 and 4r7 on one computer, and 4r7 is standalone.

So I don’t see why 4r6 can’t be on one computer and 4r7 on the other.

If I’m wrong, mea culpa. :wink:

Amazing loved the ZModeler feature.

Just wandering does any one knows if in future zbrush would be able to import cameras from maya or max …a information on this would be great if it is going to happen :slight_smile:

And speaking of cameras (referencing “mobile camera necessary for 3D mouse”), is 4r7 supporting a 3D mouse, as was rumored – and mine just won’t work?

Translation: I can’t get the Space Nav mouse to work w/4r7. Does this version not support a 3D mouse? I had read that it would, on another forum.

Wonderful Software although UI is a bit weird to new user. Keep the good works together.

Anyone know how long the introductory price for the Keyshot bundle will last?

Nevermind hope i do not miss the announcement.

A: This has not yet been determined. It can end at any time, at Pixologic’s discretion. However, we will announce the end of the introductory period at least two weeks ahead of time so that nobody is caught by surprise.

Whoopee – finally managed to complete my order w/Pixo for Bridge/KShot! :+1:

Thank you, Support. :slight_smile:

Now, to hit the Troubleshooting thread.

no troubleeshoting just tons of exercise:D
glad you are now relax and calm:+1:

@jan19 Me too! :smiley:
Thank you support !

@andreseloy :smiley:

Thank you!

Very happy. Much fun. I think I will be a little sick from excitement.

@darktimax :+1:

I’m glad Support came through for you, too. :-)))

Now, let’s see what we can do with these new babies!

Yes…again…thank you very much, Support.

Edit: Oh, boy…wowzers! :slight_smile:

Finally managed to activate the Bridge license, and it is totally wonderful to see that cube pop up in Keyshot.

Hallelujah!

I haven’t had so much fun since the old sow bit little brother. (I’m joking.) :slight_smile:

Hi - excuse me if this has been answered before - but does Keyshot for ZBrush support render passes - I ask as I see that passes was only available in pro and HD versions of the original Keyshot -so with Keyshot for ZBrush is it more like basic - (no passes) keyshot?

@jan19

Thanks so much for answering my question! :smiley:

ZModeler is pure awesomeness. Finally, I’m able to work on single poly’s and verts. Very intuitive and user-friendly. Now I can block out base meshes in ZB itself instead of having to do so in Sketchup, “pre-topo” everything so they’ll subdivide properly in ZB, and then export to ZB itself.

Pixologic, you guys rock! :+1: :sunglasses: :+1:

skyways128 – you are welcome. I hope I was right! :slight_smile:

4R7 generates a lot of euphoria, for some reason.

Jake H – what do you mean by passes? When I view the Keyshot window, I see the image gradually refine. But I haven’t found the different renders like ZB generates. Diffuse, specular, etc. Maybe they are somewhere, and I don’t know where to look? I don’t know much about Keyshot at all. Not yet anyhow. :wink:

sunnyboy – you would not believe the hoops I jumped thru to activate that bridge. 90% totally unnecessary, but I didn’t know it at the time. Activating the bridge turned out to be really easy, in the end. :slight_smile:

Hope everyone is having a wonderful night/day. With so much tragedy and unpleasantness in the world, I think we are lucky that we can grab some happiness with Zbrush.

Hi Jake, I watched the Keyshot for Zbrush Webinar today, and was very disappointed (enough to contemplate a refund) to learn that Keyshot-for-Zbrush has NO Multi-pass functions, nor the ability to render any type of pass (such as a depth pass). But I was cheerfully invited to cough up an additional $2000.00 for the upgrade to Keyshot Pro.

Now I’m trying to figure out how to create a fake depth-pass in Keyshot. Other passes can be faked by using materials. Unfortunately, the Luxion tutorials are all for the Pro version of Keyshot. So we Zbrush users are on our own.

At least we can save an alpha channel.

Hi thanks for the response(s)
jan19 - Yeah I meant separate passes like specular,zdepth,colour(diffuse),shadows etc…

acmepixel - Disappointing to hear of no passes in Keyshot for Zbrush (was supposed to see that webinar- but overslept 3AM waaaay too early for me ) - I do prefer to manage my renders in post - dof via zdepth that type of thing… Will probably not abandon my ZBrush to modo workflow (all the passes I need) - though the idea of using Zbrush polypaint and still having a render that can do this has its appeal.

One last question to users out there - Can one export/match position of a camera between Keyshot and ZBrush ?
As I also want to be able to use ZBrush(s) more graphical render passes with Keyshots photo real renders - some sort of camera bridge ? (Not that Zbrush cameras are anything like other 3D apps - but just hoping)

Thanks

I wish someone would start a thread for questions about ZB to Keyshot. :slight_smile:

Or maybe there is one already somewhere.

I like Keyshot just fine. Not planning to abandon other tools – what’s the point in that? – but for immediate pbr feedback, when working in ZB, Keyshot is great!

Very good idea. How about adding on (hijacking) this one? It’s dead otherwise.

If you all don’t want to use that one then we can just start another in the support forum, here;

They just email me, Thank you Pixologic ZBrush Support team. You give me hope :D.

I’m glad Support contacted you. :slight_smile: I thought they’d never get to me, but they did – and as somebody said earlier, it was worth the wait. I hope your order is complete now.

@acmepixel – whichever or whatever thread you all would like to use is A-ok with me. :slight_smile:

I’ve got a question or two about Keyshot, also.

Edit: Wow, that KS webinar looks mighty interesting. Thanks for the link, acmepixel! There’s a recording…forgot yesterday was the 5th. I have so lost track of days lately.

Edit II: Also, in case anyone wants to share thoughts on Keyshot, here’s someone asking for reviews of the
program.
