Zbrush Download Center

ZBrush First thing's first. If you're using Zbrush, it's almost impossible that you don't already know about ZbrushCentral, the ZClassroom, and the Zbrush downloads center, but consider this a reminder if you've overlooked it. The Zclassroom has improved substantially over the past six months to the point where they have some of the best Zbrush training available anywhere, free or premium. It's also well organized into bite sized chunks, so it's perfect for learning a specific tool or workflow. Don't miss it! I love this brush so much. For a long, long time, the Damian Standard was the go to seam/crack/crease brush, but Orb's is just so much cleaner.

Instead of pinching the heck out of your geometry, Orb uses a perfectly formed alpha in conjunction with lazy-mouse to give a clean, well-defined line. You'll find uses for Orb Cracks in both environment and organic sculpting, but it really shines when doing stylized stuff, a la DOTA, Blizzard, Torchlight, Darksiders, etc. If you're interested in how the brush works, Orb put a tutorial up on Vimeo, or you can just download it here.

Mar 18, 2009. One of the great things about ZBrushCentral is the incredible sense of community that we have. Not only are people happy to answer questions and help out newcomers, but many of you have gone above and beyond by providing free resources.

You will find below the most.

If you spend any amount of time sculpting in Zbrush, chances are you'll eventually want to get your models, textures, and normal maps into another package at some point. Although provides a set of tools built in tools that are perfectly capable of accomplishing this, Xnormals are better, and the software has become the de facto choice for highpoly → lowpoly normal map baking.

Xnormal can also extract a wide variety of additional maps, including ambient occlusion, cavity, curvature, height, etc., etc., etc. If you're looking to become a game developer, you might as well download XNormal right away—you're going to need it eventually. The Zbrush interface is infinitely customizable, and the fine folks over at Polycount have done quite a lot of customizing over in this enormous forum thread/repository. I personally haven't messed around with my Zbrush UI too much, but it's something I want to explore sometime soon—a lot of people I've spoken to say that just a few interface tweaks improved their efficiency a great deal.

There are dozens of custom UI downloads available in the linked thread, so feel free to try a few and see if you find anything you like!

New plugins: Alpha & Texture Loaders (updated ) Drawing my inspiration from the Gnomon Alpha Browser released some weeks back, I've written these two plugins to enable you to browse and load images from your own library of alphas and textures. Quick access thumbnails of all your Alphas and Textures Uses your own folder and file names Up to 250 images per tab - 2,500 images in all for each loader Search for files by name Add files to 'Favorites' tab for batch loading by hotkey.

As the loaders use your folder and file names, you can organize your library in a way that is meaningful to you, speeding your workflow. Tabs can be cleared at any time, so that new 'project' folders can be added as necessary. Files can be quickly loaded or selected as Favorites for batch loading at the start of a ZBrush session.INSTALLATION: UNZIP the zip file to your ZStartup ZPlugs folder (. Joseph Drust - Digital Sculpture Thread Hey all,One of the projects I worked on finally shipped; I got around to rendering out some other WIP images and figured I'd start a thread. The images below are mostly rendered in ZBrush with a little Photoshop comp. I tend to try and work inside of ZBrush as much as possible rather then shooting objects back and forth from 3dsmax.The first images are models I created for Vicious Cycle's Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon. Needless to say I had a lot of fun working on this project.

The sculpts were created with ZBrush 3.5 (R3 wasn't released yet.) My creation process used a lot of HPolish and the Standard Brush with a Lazy Modifier. Procedural Textures with NeoTexture The NeoTextureEditor allows creating tiled textures procedurally using a simple node interface for generating images, blending them, creating normal maps and much more. You can directly load the.tgr files as a material or export the generated images as.png files and use them in a jMonkeyEngine-based game.

Textures usually make up most of the size of a game distribution. Tutorial: how to model (and render) a realistic spiral cable in Blender (and Yafaray)/1 At work (I’m a Mechanical Design Engineer) I had to render a model of a video intercom to get a realistic shot. I already had all the parts as CAD models, so that I had just to export them in STL format and import each file in Blender.

All but the cable. Even if I’m not a good Blender modeller, I thought that it could be easier (and cleaner) modelling it into Blender than into the CAD software; furthermore I could easier apply modifications to adapt the shape of the cable to the position of intercom body and handset. ZFLOW= chocolates Hellooooooo, so.
