yeah .... i think not buddy :) try opening a 100million-polygons-heavy sculpt in Blender. Or a 1.5 BILLION one. :D Ok, Ok, I'll not be the sadist here - try your powers on a 30 million poly sculpt and press Ctrl+Z :))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Hey I think it's good that you gave credit to the reviewers and the requestor but you shouldn't forget the programmer. After all, he did the main task!
Great to see so many people excited for this patch! :) Reviews have almost passed. We might see some progress next week or two. A few things that I'd like to add to what you said about baking: - New textures in Blender need to use 32bit float to have enough range and support negative values that vdms need - clamping needs to be disabled for these textures otherwise negative values still get clamped
@@mematron I never said you don't need to use Zbrush but this implementation is definitely closing the gap. Still had a ways to go (especially in the performance game. The polygon limitation is really what's holding Blender back. It can do quite a bit with the sculpting features it has but I hear ya). Zbrush is the standard but.. Blender is making strides.
And cut operations (the one thing other than VDM that ZBrush still has over Blender and a primary tool a LOT of people use for hard surface sculpting) still take until the end of time because its doing high resolution cuts using maximum precision when it should be dropping precision in ratio to the polycount of he included volume.
I sculpt a lot in blender but now I move to zbrush 😗, this function doesn't make any changes to blender, when Pablo quit developing sculpting tool, I haven't seen any changes in sculp mode from that time
Been in Zbrush for ages. Sadly I don't really use them because building parts out of a plane is just a weird way to work in the end. Wish there was a better conversion path of already made model>VDM.
wouldn't be so optimistic: we've seen countless times awesome features in experimental builds that were told to be implemented in the main build and nothing happened for months or years... real caustics (only shadow caustics got into the main and real were forgotten) and viewport compositor just to name a few...

One step closer to replacing z-brush!

I wish. I don't think it'll happen though. I mean...100 million polygons?!
@@binyaminbass in zbrush, yeah easy.
@@piker78 you very rarely need over 10 million polies.
@@piker78 what’s the part of “one step” that wasn’t clear?

🙏
We must have missed that, Thank you @Robin Hohni
Can't wait to see it implemented in the main build!

- New textures in Blender need to use 32bit float to have enough range and support negative values that vdms need
- clamping needs to be disabled for these textures otherwise negative values still get clamped
but how does VDM works?? pixel/texture is 2 dimensional, how to store overlapping 3d data on a flat 2d data??
hope they can add VDMs to the asset browser soon, love the potential here
So could I use vdms to make dinosaur scales?
sure
No, that's immoral. Iguana scales are allowed though.
Okay now this is cool
A great implementation. Getting Closer to being on par with zbrush. Still a ways to go but really dope to see coming to Blender.
You need to use ZBrush. This is on par with MeshMixer.

kidding me ? WOW !!! Blender become higher Industry standart ! ! wow
I need help please i want to purchase a laptop cpu rzyen 7-6800h nvidia rtx 3050ti 4gb 16gb ram 4800hz is it good for blender
This is going to be game changing for Blender. Great to see, thanks for the video!

nice! but thats a lot of steps to create one VDM from zbrush to Blender..but still a very good feature! Go Blender
Incredible.
also apparently the HIP-RT is getting postponed from 3.5 to 3.6
Is it possible for blender as a program to get anywhere near zbrush's poly count capability?

Thank God
Cool
great showcase. thank you. 💎
Thanks, blender gui do you have?
oh yes!
Vdm preview is better if splitted by two. Vdm map and it's preview output
This is BIG news !!!
Yay ! You know what would be even wilder ? A better global undo system that doesn't take forever to undo one action.
Finally vdm
I'm happy about this, but again wondering why it came so late to Blender. This is actually a very old feature in mudbox
for the same reason USSR didn't have toilet paper for nearly a century (communism doesnt work)
5 years... yeah. ...
I thought one thing was baking problems..
God damn zbrush is a god damn labyrinthm
Dauuum amazing
Bro is this on blender 4.0?
Finally!!!
Been in Zbrush for ages. Sadly I don't really use them because building parts out of a plane is just a weird way to work in the end. Wish there was a better conversion path of already made model>VDM.
There was alpha displacement before which is for simple things but vector displacement is better
ohhh.... I hope GrabDoc will support VDM baking too !!!
Omg I thought this vdm stuff was an outside addon. This is HUGE
Can't wait for that!
10/10
Amateur (good new) + professional = sculpture
Z-who?
Do you need Z-brush to create VDM`s?
Finally a video about technology that doesn't make artists feel useless😂😓
Lol 😂
Finally. Now it’s left to port it iPad.
spor era
Thanks!
OMG Finally!!!!!!
Incredible video!
Hmm, what if stable-diffusioned VDMs?
Great tutorial as always
3.5 crashes a lot.
There is a reason why it's called 3.5 Alpha, lol.
Report it!

📣Vdm❤🥳🖖💥🔥 .after 5 years.
Remember to make sure that when baking VDM is to set the texture to use 32bit float as VDMs go from 1 to -1
