Advanced Member Paint Guy Posted August 24, 2009 Advanced Member Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I am looking at buying ZBrush but using 3DCoat for my UV's but I want to make sure ZBrush has no problem using UV's created in 3DCoat. Also you just need the .obj and the .uv file correct? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member Paint Guy Posted August 24, 2009 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Awesome, thanks Taros, so if I understand correctly I only need to create the UV's in 3DC then export the .obj from 3DCoat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed! It's pretty easy really. Have you downloaded the demo of ZB yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javis, Hi, no I am on mac an ZBrush has no mac demo yet so I am trying to do due diligence before I buy it and ask a lot of questions. I don't like the UI but I have tried ZBrush before and I eventually could find my way around OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javis Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Oh wow, I had no idea that there was no mac demo. Eek, that sucks. Do you have bootcamp so that you could test it XP or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Roger_K Posted August 28, 2009 Advanced Member Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Dont buy it until you've tried it. ZB has a doozy of an interface. it can be a real deal breaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmh, I think, this is one of the best Interfaces on the market of 3D Applications because....it is totally free configurable. If you don't like a menue...build your own. There is no other application offering this freedom I know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no other application offering this freedom I know... thats not really a sign of a good interface, being able to make your own interface - thats the sign of good software programming. Not needing to change the interface because its so good right from the start - that is the sign of a great interface design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used it for years, and if I didn't use it for more then a week I had to relearn using some parts of it. It was more of a hassle then it was worth.

ZBrush get's a bad rap for it's UI but once you get into it it's not too bad. So far 3DCoat and ZBrush are working well together for me. Only time will tell.

philnolan3d Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 You shouldn't have to take time to get used to it. Even saying "get used to it" sounds bad. I went through a long tutorial and still didn't like the UI by the end of the lesson, it shouldn't take that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record I didn't say "Get used to it" but get into it! but yes it's not for eveyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philnolan3d Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Well OK then, "get into it", my point still stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Paint Guy Posted August 28, 2009 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Well OK then, "get into it", my point still stands. I hope you weren't offended Phil. Your point is well taken. I guess what works for one person may not work for another. One thing I try and remember is they're all just tools. Whatever tool(s) can get the job done best is the tool I want to use. Anyway's this has strayed far off the original topic so I digress.
