Merci beaucoup, Pilou! It works. :)

I was pretty impressed by their live presentation, yesterday.

Can't wait to play with it. Wish i had bought ZBrush a couple
of years earlier... Amazing that they still give out free upgrades
and now also cross-platform usage!

I hope that one day they implement two features from 3DCoat,
namely the so-called bas-relief feature and the Image to Mesh
feature. Then i can send 3DCoat safely to /dev/null... :-)

It's also amazing what new features they come up with, with every
release. One may think now i have all cool features and then they
always surprise you with new features other 3D apps don't have.

Stefan

ZBrush does have image to mesh, its called Alpha Skinning http://docs.pixologic.com/reference-guide/alpha/make-3d/

Hi Chris,

yes, maybe i have not properly explained what i like to have.

I like to use a color image with that process too, to get the
fractals, i have created in my gallery. In 3DCoat i simply
use a b/w (or color) bump map and a b/w mask and on top a color
image, which then gets converted to vertex colors. A very
easy, one minute process, in 3DCoat. Maybe i have to look
deeper into ZBrush to find a similar and fast workflow, which
i may have overlooked.

Regards
Stefan

I don't know ZBrush as well as I would like ... Offhand I'd say that would be a separate step.

I think its possible to use a texture map to poly paint the vertices. It would be nice if it did it the mesh and color in one step ... load an alpha/displacement image and a color image and you're done.

---

Cool, vertex colors from 3DCoat come now in, via the regular .obj importer. :-)

@ Metin

In fact that is yet made!
A very smart site! :)

There are different languages with a menu! :)

For those of you who also use ZBrush: I've created a composition of the most important default Preferences settings, as a reference:

ZB 2018
Not yet loaded but the great thing for French people is that is in French since the previous release! :)

Hi Stefan,

There's already a function similar to Bas Relief in ZBrush: the Flatten Deformer...

Hi Metin,

thanks, i had not time yet to look into the new tools, ZBrush offers.

Will look at it, but i have a little doubt that one can get a proper
bas relief from that.

Regards
Stefan

BTW: regarding bas reliefs with ZBrush....

i already ask a while ago the author, #AskZbrush and asked also
at CGTalk, but nobody could explain to me how to do that properly
with ZBrush... (like the dragon model)

Hi Stefan,

I would first create an alpha texture from the 3D model, then stamp the alpha onto the 3D shape you want it to be on, in a very high polygon resolution, to maintain all detail.

I've been playing with Sculptris Pro dynamic tesselation mode this morning, here's my first freestyle sculpture. No reference used, I've just been playing around. Sculptris Pro works very pleasantly.

The Top raw gallery of Zbrush is an amazing collection of true Master pieces!

Over 15 years and alas not all old pictures are not more obtainable! :(

Hi Metin,

yes, alphas could be a gould start, depending how they look like... because they usually
give also the straight extrusions at the models silhouette.

Nice model Metin, looks like you have fun with Sculptris Pro! :-)

Stefan

Thanks Stefan!

For complex relief ZBrush offers Vector Displacement Brushes, which include overlapping:

http://docs.pixologic.com/user-guide/3d-modeling/exporting-your-model/vector-displacement-maps/

---

Hi Metin,

i think this is also not good, because you need already a bas relief in order to convert
it to Vector Displacement...

Anyways, thanks for your suggestions. Maybe one day someone can lift the secret
described in the ZBrush thread, i have posted. ;-)

Regards
Stefan

Can you describe in detail your problem about the "Dragon bas relief" and what do you want to know!

I ask that to my friend who works at Pixologic! ;)

It's not pure sculpting ?
