I do want to try out the EEVEE render engine for sure.Īnyway, thanks for the links, and I'll check back again after I've played with MeshModler. This Win10 Pro laptop's OpenGL is high enough, so at some point I'll add 2.8, so I can play with both. I couldn't install 2.8 on my old Win7 Pro laptop because the OpenGL was a bit too low. The instructor is redoing the lessons, but it's been slow going. I'll also check out Retopo Flow, and see how that goes.Īs far as the class I'm taking, I've been taking it off and on for about 2 1/2 years (lifetime access), so it started with 2.79, and is 'slowly' being updated to 2.8. It will be interesting to see if we have similar thoughts about it. I downloaded MeshModler earlier, so will be looking at it in the next few days. That said, however, since they have the ZBrushCore, they don't really need it, so I guess not that surprising. I hadn't looked at it in quite a while, so didn't know it was no longer available. There are some good retopo plugins such as retopoflow and retopo MT. I think, if your class is using 2.8x and your computer can support it, it might be time to take the plunge for 2.8x. As for remeshing, the Instant Meshes program I linked above might help with that. I think MeshMolder looks very competent, and I aim to put that through its paces over the weekend.

Unfortunately exporting to OBJ lost the details, so I never got a chance to try.

The only thing I ever created was a Katana with a tutorial I had found years ago, and it didn't come out great, but it looked workable if I could export in OBJ, and then bring it into Blender. I'm not sure if I could get any sculpting done with my old ZBrush, but maybe I should try. It's disappointing.Īs far as Sculptris goes, I tried it years ago and hated its UI, so maybe a current version is better. The videos were for the full ZBrushCore, so the Mini version doesn't have the same UI and tools, so Torq, you are correct. Blender 2.8.x has supposedly fixed that, but I haven't ventured into the newer version of Blender yet.

I have a very old version of ZBrush, which I only use for remeshing, because older versions of Blender s*ck at it. Well I tried the ZbrushCore Mini, and was extremely disappointed after watching some tutorial videos on their site about the UI and such.
