New ZBrush R2
-
Pay some more attention to this wonderful application.
Among others, the new magical (dynamesh) is capable to remesh any obj coming via free obj SU exporter.
We can melt any 3dWH mesh in one mesh, among other wonderful capabilities. We can still add clay and merge other meshes on this. Resulting to a great tool, giving freedom to any artist and unlimited possibilities. Most of 3dwh meshes are more or less problematic. Wrong nomal directions on faces (blue faces), inner faces producing non manifolds (more than two faces on an edge). Lot of apps can't handle these or you have to do a lot of hard work before handling these. New zbrush "dynamesh" hasn't any difficulties though. It remeshes these in a preferable resolution... what a great base for sculpting !!!Here a test, lot of fun, it took 15 mins. Rendered in zbrush of course, the almost real time preview.
Used some music instruments and I sculpted a face on them.

I thought it ZBrush R4?
Anyway, if you've ever time to screen capture your modeling I'd love to see it in action

Bravo michalis!

Thanks Boofredlay
No bravos. LOL. Zbrush costs some money but it's a marvelous app. The leader. By all means. The most close to an artists needs.
Tremendously.
Sculptris is a free, great app. Having great tools (the most important). The best choice for getting involved in 3d sculpting.
Zb is a bit difficult to learn but... oh my, this is a straight forward app. A direct tool.
I'm a bit collector of this kind of apps. Having zb, sculptris, 3dcoat, and blender of course. Add groboto, even the artisan plugin. (BTW this last one is the only way I have to cut edge loops on SU meshes) -
At the oposite try Qubicle
A real funny thing!

Having involved on these sculpting apps,
I just want to share this with you, at this friendly forum.
Only sadness these days, personal feelings became almost a luxury. Meanwhile old people have to die as soon as possible, this came out, among others.
I'm thinking on a huge scene, a nice building as background, the "ministry of the best gift".
Sadness and a fast growing anger these days.
A zbrush dynamesh-sketch (~2-3 hours), ~900K quad faces, rendered in internal zb render engine (in secs, a preview).

Hi, michalis:
It is difficult in these trying times to keep a positive attitude, but you are very talented. That is the wealth that cannot be taken from you.
Someone, somewhere, sometime said: "these things, too, shall pass". -
Great sculpting Michalis....love it

Thanks, mitcorb, sid
I found the app I like most. On sculpting I mean. Though based on less attractive developing solutions, still straight into art. No jokes.
It's not just about developing, it's about a team that listens carefully to the artists needs. And they never asked money for upgrades...
