ZBrush 2019 official version

ZBrush 2019 Software Highlights

Revolutionary engraving tool

ZRemesher 3.0: Intelligent retopology algorithm upgrade, supports retaining model details while generating a more uniform mesh structure, adapting to animation binding needs.

Sculptris Pro dynamic topology: adjust the number of model faces in real time, and you can freely switch the engraving accuracy between low-mode and high-mode without manual retopology.

PolyGroup It: Generate groups based on model structure with one click to facilitate processing of local details (such as clothing folds, biological muscle textures).

Efficient modeling and material system

ZModeler brush: Provides precise modeling functions similar to CAD, supporting Boolean operations, edge chamfering, patch extrusion and other hard surface modeling operations.

NanoMesh and ArrayMesh: quickly copy and arrange tiny structures (such as scales and bricks), suitable for filling in scene details.

MatCap material library: built-in hundreds of preset materials, real-time preview of lighting effects, speeding up the conceptual design stage.

Industry-leading rendering and output

BPR (Best Preview Render): The real-time rendering engine supports HDRi ambient light, shadows and reflections, and can output high-quality previews without the need for third-party software.

Multi-format export: Compatible with OBJ, FBX, STL, ZTL and other formats, and can be directly imported into mainstream 3D software such as Maya, 3ds Max, Blender and other for subsequent production.

3D printing support: Built-in model repair tools (such as closing holes and optimizing normals) ensure that the model can be directly used for 3D printing.

ZBrush 2019 software features

​​ 1. Basic grid creation

​​​​Basic mesh generation tool, which allows users to implement a new conceptual design workflow that is no longer limited by traditional polygons. Delayed Curve mode allows for unmatched precision with brushes, allowing precise control of brushstrokes on models even in Symmetry mode. Apply ambient HDRI (High Dynamic Range Image) to LightCap In the system, the rendering quality of images is significantly improved. It has no limitations and can create an entire character from a sphere based on a base mesh. Users can create a library such as nose, ears, head, arms or anything and then use Insert Mesh (insert mesh) brushes, you can add these shapes to any shape. The result is a creative process that has few limitations and is incredibly fast. All of these operations allow users to create a character model for 3D printing faster than ever before.

2. Engraving function

​ ​Coupled with the current ZBrush function, users can boldly develop their creativity and achieve unprecedented freedom. Use Curves mode to create patterns on a surface, like selecting Alpha As simple as a brush. Users can even stretch modeling structures along drawn curves like the Mesh Insert brush. Users can also combine curve mode with DynaMesh Used together, a variety of shapes can be produced in just a few clicks - from simple to extremely complex volumes; or used to extend the user's current creation, whether organic or hard surface style models. Combined with the 3D brush, a mesh model can be created based on the drawn curves, allowing users to quickly create a basic mesh model or prop in a few seconds.

3. Texture production

In ZBrush Texturing a model has many advantages in terms of speed and ease of use. But if you want to maintain the level of detail in your model every time, having control over the texturing process comes in handy so that you can , you don’t need to start from the smallest parts every time. Its mapping capabilities, combined with Photoshop's layer blending, provide Art Plus with a powerful tool for texture creation.

4. Rendering function

The BPR rendering function allows your model to operate in a 360-degree live environment. You can use your favorite panorama as the background to fit your model as the lighting and coloring of the environment when rendering. Whether your image is 8-bit or full HDRI, using this software you have complete control over the rendering environment. You can customize the background image and choose an appropriate material to render your work.

5. Input and output

Every core feature of ZBrush is designed to give artists complete freedom and expansion, and provide an environment for them to express their creativity. The absence of technical barriers is what makes working in ZBrush as much like real-world sculpture and painting as producing so many groundbreaking works.

6. Draw illustrations

Not only does it revolutionize the 3D industry, it’s also a powerful painting program! Built on powerful Pixol functionality, it takes digital painting to the next level. Other 2D Pixels in the program only contain color and position information, while ZBrush's Pixol contains color, position, depth, lighting and material information. Perhaps the user initially wants to draw a 2D type of illustration tree, but then decided to change the sunset lighting to a midday lighting effect. Users simply adjust lighting controls and all shadows update in real time! Users can use an unlimited number of polygons in their images. User You can even add 20 million polygon 3D building models to your images. Works in 2.5D In the mode, users can repeatedly add and copy 3D models according to their own ideas, create a city containing unlimited buildings, then apply atmospheric effects, and use various brush tools and filters to complete the city. whole The process does not slow down the efficiency of the system.

ZBrush 2019 software features

​ ​ 1. Non-Photorealistic Rendering Non-Photorealistic Rendering (NPR)

The new NPR viewing system can render in a 2D style in the view, which can achieve a style similar to sketches and comics.

2. Snapshot 3D adsorption snapshot

Newly added under the original Spotlight module, through the function of Alpha combined with adsorption, complex Boolean operation structures can be quickly realized (it seems very easy to use)

3. ZRemesher 3.0 automatic routing function

The new automatic routing function upgrade has better support for mechanical models and will be more convenient for hard surface modeling.

​ ​ 4. Folder folder function

                              Added a folder system to sub-tool management to make scene management easier

5. Intersection Masker

It can automatically generate a mask at the intersection of two objects. It is more convenient to draw some masks with special structures.

​ 6. ZColor color plug-in

The new ZColor plug-in can better manage colors and share a set of colors with others, which is more suitable for team collaboration

7. Focal length adjustment

At the same time, this version also adds camera focus adjustment, making it more convenient for ZB to work together with other software.
