2.5D tools and tutorials take the front seat.Īnyway, enough with the ‘grumpy old man’ ramblings. If you launch ZBrush and see two headers at the top of the window (see illustration below) the solution is simply to go to your very top bar (with the Apple icon) and click View > Hide Tab Bar. To be able to sculpt on millions of polys was pure sorcery(phrase thrown around with abandon these days, but mere card tricks compared to this)įunny, but I’ve spent the morning flicking through that old Zbrush 2 book and the sculpting brushes don’t get a mention until halfway through. Back in the days of a single core, a 32-bit OS, and 1 gig of Ram. It’s like trying to explain what videotapes were to small children. It’s still hard to even describe what it was like back then to pre-Zbrush 3D artists. At the time I was using Max 4 and my system exploded if I subdivided a mesh to 10K polys… Yes, the first time I tried it my mind was absolutely blown. But once the 3D sculpting side really took off, a visionary tool emerged. The 2.5D stuff was intriguing, but also felt gimmicky. The workflow I have used is to send the project. I also remember not really knowing where to place ZBrush in my creation workflow. I have been working on my first zBrush / Keyshot project and I have run into some very annoying problems. It was immediately apparent that it was coded super-efficiently. I was impressed by the fast and fluid feel of the UI and UX. I reviewed it for a Dutch computer magazine.

KeyShot for ZBrush Support Even though KeyShot for ZBrush is sold by Pixologic, it is a Luxion product. I remember the first time I had a go at ZBrush, somewhere around 2000. For the current KeyShot version you can simply go to For past versions, you need to go to the Previous Versio. Pablo Dobarro's master plan for sculpting and painting, development news Then I skipped upgrading to Keyshot 8, only to discover one year later that I would need to pay the full price again to upgrade from Keyshot 7 to 9.
I bought the ZBrush version of Keyshot 7 and subsequently the pricy full version of it. Of course it’s also great that ZBrush 2021 is once again a free update to anyone who has ever bought ZBrush. I’ll have to impatiently wait until 8:00 PM over here in the Netherlands (CET). Looking forward to try the new ZBrush 2021 features. It makes it necessary to constantly keep track of recent changes and get accustomed again. Although I’m a Blender lover, I don’t like the frequent and often drastic changes in the toolset, UI and workflow. I also love the interoperability of ZBrush tools, and the fact that the devs almost never remove a tool or function you’ve gotten used to. The whole time I was watching this, ideas were popping into my head about ways to use the tools. It’s fiendishly cleverly designed and all the tools and workflows work seamlessly and non-linearly to create endless possibilities. When any changes are made to the geometry in ZBrush, select the GoZ or All button again to transfer any changes back over to KeyShot with all. This will transfer the current SubTool or all SubTools directly into KeyShot.
This is what I’ve long referred to as the ZB ecosystem. After you install the GoZ plugin for KeyShot, select GoZ or All from the Tool menu inside ZBrush.
