It is also designed to work on as wide a range of source geometry as possible, with options – Polish By Edges and Fix Edges – to remove artefacts that can occur when beveling meshes created using ZBrush’s DynaMesh system or Live Boolean mode. Unlike the existing edge bevel, BevelPro doesn’t require a low-poly mesh or a specific topology to generate good results: in its live demos, Pixologic showed it in action with meshes with around 500,000 polygons. GPU-accelerated BevelPro plugin generates bevels on meshes of any resolution and topologyĪnother major feature in ZBrush 2022 is the new BevelPro plugin, which provides an alternative way to create beveled edges on models to ZModeler’s edge bevel action.
The control options are similar, with the bonus that you can also convert the vertex colours of the model – that is, Polypaint data – to a texture, making it possible to create coloured bas reliefs.Īs well as its obvious benefits when sculpting coins or collectible objects medallions, the bas relief toolset can be used to add surface detail to props and environment objects like wall panels or armour. The same functionality is available in the Alpha palette, making it possible to convert a model into a bas relief alpha that can be applied to a surface via a DragRect stroke. The result can be adjusted by setting the number of times the projection algorithm runs, and by using Relief Contrast and Blur Radius settings to enhance details or smooth edges in the embossed surface. Rotating the model relative to the surface changes the angle at which it is projected onto the surface. It works by projecting an existing 3D model – it works with both individual SubTools, and models consisting of multiple SubTools – onto the surface that is to be embossed. Major new features in ZBrush 2022 include the new Bas Relief system for creating embossed surfaces. New Bas Relief system automatically generates embossed surfaces from 3D models
#Zbrush alpha brush update
The features were previewed at ZBrush Summit 2021 last month, and officially unveiled in a livestream yesterday, the recording of which is embedded above.Īs is standard with Pixologic, the update is free to all registered users of the software. Other changes include new Knife and Scribe brushes, support for two alphas and textures on brushes, better handling of surface noise, and Photoshop-style options for automatically aligning SubTools. Pixologic has released ZBrush 2022, the latest version of the industry-standard digital sculpting software, including a new bevel plugin and bas relief system, and a major extension of the stroke interpolation system.
