I’m new to zbrush, so my question maybe very basic.
I want create a simple texture which is a white star shaped image on daz’s supersuit shoulders using zbrush’s default star shaped alpha. And as the rest of the body I just want to use supersuit’s default materials. How do I achieve that?
Texture Question for Joe I PM’ed you too about this (or any one who my know). I have the Killer Shark By Joe and loaded him into Poser 2012 MAC, apply the textures manually but the textures don’t line up, em I using the wrong base figure (Male, Female, or Genesis)? Or ‘em I doing something completely wrong?
Before switching to DS4.5 I’d been a Poser 7 user. I bought 9 this evening, taking advantage of their pre-blackfriday deal. My intent was just to use it for doing cloth sims on genesis products (up until this point I’d been using a “genesis” morph for V4 to approximate the shape). Still, I decided to do a quick render of Killer Shark (using the default poser lights no less), and I’ve got to say it turned out alright. Makes me want to go hunt down my favorite light sets and see how they turn out.
Joe, I have a question… How do I open the Killer Shark mouth? I’ve applied the Open Mouth and the Open Mouth Wide morphs and it doesn’t seem to have much effect on the figure. Is there something I’m missing? Possibly something from the readme that I missed?

Thanks.
For Rduda, Killer Shark uses the K4 UV Maps, so Genesis must be set to use the K4 UV maps before the maps will display correctly.
For Smallfry, there’s a “Shark Big Gulp” or “big gulp shark” morph in there which opens the mouth very very wide. I’m not sure where Daz has those things set to show up when you use genesis in poser, for studio, I put it in the head pose dials.

I think this is just a job for photoshop or any other image editor. If you’re in love with the star shaped alpha from zbrush, you should be able to find that in the zbrush file folders and open it up in another image editor. just stick the star on the uv template and position it?
Another issue has cropped up for me. I’m on Windows 8 now…. so heads up on that. GoZ does not function. There is a “Scripts” folder in the Users/Public/Pixologic/GoZBrush folder apparently. This is MIA… Just used GoZ 2 weeks ago for fixing up a couple of morphs so not sure what’s gone wrong. I did look in the Windows.old folder just now but there is nothing from Pixologic in there, just older Windows stuff. Can you check to see if you have a Scripts folder in the location mentioned?
GoZ just isn’t a part of my workflow.
As an experiment, I used just the basic textures generated by this filter: http://filterforge.com/filters/7753.html to do the texture work on the Pizza below. So I didn’t use bump maps or anything. When you use spotlight and the pen brush in zbrush and you turn out zadd or zsub with the brush it will affect the mesh based on the color info.
ANCHOVIES? YUK! lol That looks good . Yea, I watched a vid on Spotlight where the presenter loaded a plane up, started up Spotlight with some rocks. First applied the rocks texture to the plane and then used the ZAdd to start the process of bringing the actual rock formations into the plane. It’s not completely 3D but it would be a really great way to add allot of background detail to a scene that can be zoomed in on. I was really impressed with this technique!
Just out of total random curiosity… are there any other problems (like say perhaps playing around in Daz), that might pop up on account of using Windows 8?
I was on the verge of ordering it, but I’ll definitely back off if it screws with my rendering :-S
