ZBrush

[Cad64]

Anybody here use ZBrush? I just got my copy of ZBrush2 and it's absolutely incredible for doing organic modeling. I've been struggling with Max for a while now, trying to create organic shapes but ZBrush can do it with the greatest of ease. Things that would take hours to do in Max can be done in just minutes in ZBrush. I downloaded the demo version this morning just to see what it was like and within a few hours reading tutorials and figuring out the interface I was hooked. This program fits my artistic style perfectly and simplifies the modeling and texturing process so much, it's just unbelievable. Plus, I can also use my Wacom tablet instead of a mouse which is another bonus. ZBrush3 comes out next week and I will definitely be upgrading immediately.

For anyone who may be interested, this link takes you to a page on the ZBrush Central forum which has a video showing off the new features of the program: http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/showthread.php?t=042491

The images on the zbrush forum are AMAZING!!! I can't believe my eyes. It's hard to believe people can get that much accuracy and detail. The program looks like a total winner! Good call Cad64

I downloaded the 30 day trial version but ... it is not a program just to "pick up and go with".
I will try to free up myself to read some tutorials -within these 30 days if possible.
Yes, the images are great.
