Hi Stefan, Pilou and others,

Being in one of my many wrestling matches with the dreaded deadline monster, I regret not having found the time yet to try ZBrush 2019.

From what I've seen in the Pixologic introduction video I’m reasonably excited about ZBrush 2019. Personally I can’t wait to have a go at ZRemesher 3.0 with the new hard surface improvements. The subtool folders are great too, also the ability to use them in Live Boolean mode.

I feel a bit ambivalent about the Spotlight alpha mesher feature. It feels a bit like a revisit of the old Shadowbox, a feature I usually forget during modeling.

The NPR rendering possibilities look very good, but to me that also feels like going back in time about 10 to 15 years, back when finalToon, Pencil+ and Liquid+ were state-of-the-art 3ds Max NPR plug-ins.

Any tips and observations regarding ZBrush 2019 are welcome.

Thanks!
