Zbrush是传统和创新工具的完美组合，让您创造复杂、高品质的图形，快速有效地表达自我,这些功能曾经在《指环王3：国王归来》这部影片的数字建模方面被广泛运用（主要是魔兽）。它能给於您即时反应，即时绘制您的图像，它也非常适合於情节串联图板和概念化设计，功能足於将您的作品打造完美。直观、易於使用和功能强大，Zbrush将激发您创造多面的、震撼人心的图像，不管您是个新手，还是位专业人士。Zbrush独特的2D和3D功能的组合将产生动人的效果，不需要您经过痛苦的漫长学习。
ZBrush 是一个数字雕刻和绘画软件，它以强大的功能和直观的工作流程彻底改变了整个三维行业。在一个简洁的界面中，ZBrush 为当代数字艺术家提供了世界上最先进的工具。以实用的思路开发出的功能组合，在激发艺术家创作力的同时，ZBrush 产生了一种用户感受，在操作时会感到非常的顺畅。ZBrush 能够雕刻高达 10 亿多边形的模型，所以说限制只取决于的艺术家自身的想象力。ZBrush软件是世界上第一个让艺术家感到无约束自由创作的3D设计工具！它的出现完全颠覆了过去传统三维设计工具的工作模式，解放了艺术家们的双手和思维，告别过去那种依靠鼠标和参数来笨拙创作的模式，完全尊重设计师的创作灵感和传统工作习惯。
GUMROAD CREATING TILEABLE TEXTURES IN ZBRUSH
This 14 part video-tutorial series will guide you through the process of concepting and creating a tileable normal, ambient occlusion and height map within ZBrush, Knald and xNormal. This tutorial is intended for those that have a base understanding of the modeling process and are aware of the uses of various texture maps. We will discuss setting up all of our software before we use it to ensure that it’s as easy as possible for you to get started!
Software needed for this project:
Adobe Photoshop
3D Studio Max (or preferred 3D program)
ZBrush (4R2 or later)
Knald/xNormal
Content
Planning
We will begin by creating a preliminary outline for the planned texture in Photoshop, before moving onto 3D Studio Max where we will be generating the base mesh and preparing it for sculpting.
Sculpting
We will then move onto the sculpting stage inside of ZBrush, where we will use a mixture of standard and non-standard brushes in order to add detail and variation to our sculpt.
Baking
After we have created our final sculpt and processed it for baking, we will create a low poly target mesh in 3D Studio Max and bake out our Normal, AO and Height maps within Knald and xNormal.
Closing
We will finally discuss the re-use of the assets and ZTools that we have made, and look at ways of creating more variations of our tileable textures within Photoshop and 3D Studio Max.
