ZBrush 4R8 World Premiere

Pixologic 2017-06-14 09:00 article  > Software

The list of new features in ZBrush 4R8 expand upon the digital sculpting workflow within ZBrush.

Many new features will provide increased freedom while designing, foremost of which are Live Boolean and Vector Displacement Mesh.

Live Boolean

Boolean systems have historically required a lot of trial and error before finally getting a satisfying result. With Live Boolean, artists gain the ability to combine multiple sculptures together and see in real-time what the resulting mesh will look like. Any model can be subtracted from another, regardless of their polygon counts. You can use Live Boolean with the existing instancing systems in ZBrush such as NanoMesh and ArrayMesh. While Live Boolean is active, you can even sculpt on your models while previewing the Boolean results. 

Real-time Preview

Live Boolean is also excellent for creating hard surface models. Live Boolean makes it possible for you to preview any addition and subtraction operations between your source models, allowing adjustments to be made on the fly.

There is no guesswork, since you are able to dynamically see the end result before committing to the operation. You can adjust any part on a mesh and see it instantly impact the model. It’s 100% interactive, non-destructive and works with any sculpt.
