Ricardo Eloy Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Guys! I've been told Z-Brush is a great modeling software, capable of incredible stuff, so I was wondering if it would do any good for us, cg architects....Does anyone know anything about it?

Brian Cassil Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I saw a demo of it a siggraph at it did look pretty amazing and like a lot of fun, however I am having a hard time imagining much use for it in architecture. It seemed like a fantastic tool for highly organic character and creature modeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawyer Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I have played with it and it's fun a bit steep to learn and I didn't think of it as a modeling package. Maybe I am wrong but the application I saw it being used as was a sophisticated paint program with inherent 3d space properties & dynamics applied to the paint materials. That was a while ago so maybe it has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernest Burden III Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I was thinking of getting ZB, but to do my own organic architecture, not the sort I am paid to render for others. For typical architecture--I would call it fairly useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Eloy Posted September 2, 2004 Author Share Posted September 2, 2004 Good thoughts! I was wondering what we could do with it (useful stuff, I mean)... Maybe some organic sculptures? Or even some weird furniture? Some guys at the DTC I teach at are using it for character modeling, and I gotta tell you it's damn amazing! Also, the guy who won the Machineflesh contest from CGTalk was telling us how easy and fast it was to model his stuff with ZB and then importing it into max.... Anyway, I was maybe just excited about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahimsa Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Hi! just wanted to add my opinion: I think Zbrush is a wonderful modeling tool. It can be useful for organic model but also for mechanical model. It just brings a new way to model. It provides really fast production flow when you master it. So my opinion is that if you have lot of modeling work to do zbrush can be really useful.. but it also brings some troubles while you have to go back in your rendering tool.. however I see on the internet lots of people doing wonderful work with that so it's possible.
