    Never knew a Smooth Groups brush existed. Constantly learning new stuff from PavMike, even after years. Dunno what the zbrush world would look without you for me. You are my official ZBrush documentation.. its even beyond documentation. Its like waking up in the morning and meeting with Mr.Miagi for training.

    Smooth groups!!! And other ways of working clean! Amazing, this video is incredibly informative, I’ve been searching for ways of doing the techniques shown in this video for quite some time. Thank you Michael, I’ve been watching all your videos sequentially and just reached this doozie! Thank you again.

    ZRemesher is not the best tool to do retopology as it tends to create spiral edge loops. Any ideas how to prevent those? Having said that, I still learned valuable tips from this video :)

    This is such a great video with so many good tips! However, you're going through them a bit (very) fast. And I know I can slow down the speed, but just wanted to give that feedback anyway since a distorted voice when slowing down the playback speed isn't wonderful to listen to. Haha! Other than that I will definitely come back to this video.

    • @MichaelPavlovich
      @MichaelPavlovich  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It won't be loaded in the default startup brushes; hit the comma key to get to lightbox, go to the brush tab, smooth, and it'll be in there. Alternatively, you can hold down your shift key to activate any current smooth brush, and under the brush menu > Smooth Brush Modifiers, change the weighted smooth mode to 6 (smooth border)

    • @kevindung1785
      @kevindung1785 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Also the Project-Divide workflow, does it make more sense to just decimate the high res Mesh?

    • @MichaelPavlovich
      @MichaelPavlovich  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It will run ZRemesher with a slightly different algorithm, giving you (most noticeably) a different center line configuration. If regular ZRemesh gives you a subpar result, especially down the middle of your object, give the alt version a shot!

    • @MichaelPavlovich
      @MichaelPavlovich  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@kevindung1785 YMMV, but for me, decimating the high res is just for reducing super high poly to manageably high poly, but that's about it. Remeshing to a low subdivision and then projecting your high res details back to multiple subdivisions unlocks, among other cool things, the ability to make changes on your lower subdivision and have it drive your higher subdivisions

    i have some problems with zremesher, i made an aircraft in maya and i want to use a high and low poly for baking, the high poly i would like to make it in zbrush with subdivs from the imported fbx and then make a zremesh to have a clean mesh, because i don't like the decimation master mesh results with all these triangles but the problem is that i can't keep the hard edges like the original mesh made in maya when i use zremesher, i make polygroups by normals, crease PG and then zremesher with detect edges, 0 smoothing and 0 adapt... 100 strength curve... but i don't like the results at edges and corners...

    • @thivolan3d
      @thivolan3d 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Im not sure if this will help as i dont use maya but maybe try using the original mesh (The sharp edged one) as a base then project the sharp details onto the remeshed object (The soft edged one) like he shows at 10:09 ....

    does x symmetry on Zremesher only work if the Mesh is completely symmetrical? because im working on a head which has one eyebrow raised (so not symmetrical)

    • @thivolan3d
      @thivolan3d 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Im sure youve already figred this out by now but for anyone curious: it will still work on parts that are symmetrical but the moment it isnt the remesher will just mirror one side to next (from the right side to left side) so youll just end up with a perfectly symmetrical object on that axis.... I would personally recommend leaving symmetry off after the initial blockout; when it comes to portraiture as faces arent as symmetrical as they might first appear... But, of course, if youre still a beginner then no symmetry would just be a nightmare.
