I'm probably going to enrage people here, and I apologize in advance, but am I the only one who thinks this seems like an odd and astonishingly elaborate distraction for a company that's missed so many release-targets of its core product? Has Pixologic decided to abandon the 3D field to Mudbox? Surely not.

Congratulations on all the artists who have posted so far. You're very talented, truly. But this is the first time I've felt I was seeing work on the ZB forums that could have been done with another software package.

Was the time Pix spent doing this worthwhile? I sure hope so. For all the people who have raged at delays in releases (which stretched so long that ZB 3.5 was renamed 4.0 to quell catcalls), this kind of thing--while being nifty and all, nevertheless strikes an odd note of discord in me. I find myself flashing back on the voice from Star Wars: "Stay on target. Stay on target."

Ronbo13,
It most cases it's a good idea to sketch out an idea out before beginning a sculpture. It's the fastest way to come up with a sweeping gesture or feeling. I have worked professionally for a long while and there have been times where we 'wing' it without sketches and everyone gets confused as to a direction. Hmm. So, um, I personally love the idea of PaintStop.

@Ronbo13,

Hi Ronbo, I'm fairly new to digital (=2D and 3D). I bought ZBrush because it was supposed to have 2D and 3D imaging capabilities. I loved the workflow of ZBrush, giving me an easy -natural feeling- crossover from my traditional 2D and 3D work to digital. I love how Pixologic refines this 2 and 3D core package with every update. I sculpt daily and sketch/paint daily within ZBrush. Do you think I should buy a second program for drawing/painting? Or should I buy a second one for sculpting?

Quote:"Congratulations on all the artists who have posted so far. You're very talented, truly. But this is the first time I've felt I was seeing work on the ZB forums that could have been done with another software package." I'm a bit confused here; I think the sculpting on ZBC is awesome because it's done with ZBrush, why should all these peole buy other soft? It all costs so much money.

Meanwhile, this ZBrush 3.1 I work with performs really, really great.

Thanks for sharing your opinion -without opinions/opposites, our world could become a dull place.

Pixologic always said they were making a tool for artist to easily express themselves with little technicality. Thus, the key word being "artist"... thus, isn't just limited to the 3D realm. Although, I really enjoy PaintStop. It simulates working on a real life canvas pretty well... in a digital sort of way.

Vedanta : thank you

Ronbo13,

I should point out that all plugins are produced separately from development of the core app, and in no way impact on the timings or other aspects of that development.

On the issue of ZBrush becoming a 2D app - actually PaintStop simply builds on functionality that ZBrush has already and has had right from the beginning.

and to add to that, if I rember correctly, Marcus if you still have ver ZBrush 0.95 the painting was really cool - kinda miss the zebra paint

here's an image, except the film framenot done in ZB, done in ZB 0.95

[Ronbo13]

Good points raised by several of you. Thanks for the replies. I withdraw my concerns, bow to your collective wisdom, and applaud Pix

[RawSunlight]

Nice little suite of tools, good for a quick sketching bout.
Soon as I got to this point though, I kind of felt like I would want to push things further in PS or painter, dirt layers, ink splashes, multiple blend layers, etc...

Great if you suddenly have an idea...

[agrmrs]

really nice sketches dude ....love them all .....keep us posted good luck
