Hi MTB…
You should try Groboto and Modo… fun and both work well with ZBrush…
Hi, that looks very neat, good technique. Wouldnt it be much faster though to just approach a model like this in a “traditional” poly modeling package? Would involve much less steps.
Wow! very nice set of brushes. thank you very much. MAHPolish is just wow.
Thank you for the suggestions. I like both of those as well as 3Dcoat too. I might grab me a Groboto (looks fun) though I have enough with still trying to master C4D and After Effects (and many MANY other software). Besides, I am so addict to Z right now, I don’t wanna play with anything else…except maybe C4D and Wings when I take a break…lol! I would sacrifice many burgers and fries to the holy hungry god in my stomach if only it would grant my wish for a GoZ to Wings3D. Maybe even Blender too. I think the low budge, independent firms and hobbyists would be very thankful. Until then, I’ll have to settle for cold coffee, naners, and dreams of the all powerful Z.
P.S. You should see my Z wish list, its crazy.
Of course it would. Especially if it were for work and I had a deadline. But this is more for the hobbyist. For those who don’t have the money for the high end software, and for those die hard Z junkies that wants to live and breath in Z and make something that is not only 100% Z but, when showcased, might beg one to say/ask…no way that’s 100% ZBrush…look at the low poly wire…no way.
P.S. NO, that’s not what I’m trying to do. 
Well, maybe say that at least to myself.
As always, thank you and you’re welcome.
So yeah…its my Anniversary today!
10 years at ZBC!
What a lovely journey!
Thanks for this MTB. And agreed wholeheartedly. Something I’ve run into as well is that often times for simple modeling edits like "oops, I need to extrude this, or “hmm, gotta inset that”, the transpose and the edge loop tools prevent the need to jump out of ZBrush. I really think that’s where this stuff really shows it worth. It can be a time saver even if it doesn’t look it when modeling something from scratch.
If you combine it with the image grid and the topology brush, you have a VERY powerful way to START models, especially considering that the image grid is one of the best ortho setups I’ve ever seen. I like it even more than Modo’s.
You are welcome and Exactly! ZBrush has always been wonderful to me! Now, with these new tools, it’s wicked powerful as well as still being a place to work in that feels like home.
Top piece. Also from a cube.

Thanks guys! Glad to hear this stuff doesn’t get lost in the sea of Z posts.
Yeah its a double whammy weekend. Ten years, yesterday and 34th Birthday today.
Could not ask for a better birthday than playing in my favorate program and sharing with the
kindest, warmest, most grateful CG community that I have been a part of.
Can’t wait for the next ten years. Maybe by then, I’ll finally be working for Pixologic…lol.
I’ll greet people at the door…lol!
Thanks again everyone. I’ll keep at it if you keep coming by and paying me a visit.
Cheers!

Some of us haven’t left completely I’ve been reading posts here everyday For a very very long time. Since version 1.13 to be exact. I’ve seen rising stars and minors become masters. Nice post MTB.
Thanks man. And an early Congrats on your 10yrs!
I remember 1.23b like it was yesterday. Certain things have just stuck in the mind. Ken Brilliant’s Alien script, Monday Night Challenge! RonHarris and his beautifully unrelenting festival of zombies images. The irc chat room for all Z users to talk and share and hang. All the people who said we were fake wannabe 3d artists and Z was terrible and would die. Pshaaw! The few days when monstermaker came in to the chat and asked like three questions and bailed. Didn’t hear from him in a month, next thing you know we see him on the top row being interviewed by pixologic. We had no clue we just taught Rick Baker all our good tricks. And we were proud to share! Trying to hack and crack ANY image made by Ofer. Always asking, how the hell did he do that (which still continues today, thank you). When Lonnie made me a Z trophy image for cracking the distressed Z look Ofer made. WOW, that was a GREAT week! And don’t forget about DeeVee, Ztevie Rae, The Namek, Jaycephus, Grub, MrBraun and oh many so many others…
Yeah, That was such a magical time. Then again, it has always been a magical time here! MAN, 10 more years sounds awesome to me!
