Ah yes thank you Zbrush. Why have it be easy when it can be complicated?

@numberonehater1239 Год назад

The maxon/pixilogic way. I love zbrush, feel it’s a lot more intuitive. Regardless, it’s more complicated than it needs to be imo. I should be able to copy and paste a pic into the document/canvas and move out it the way. I don’t want to turn it to geometry I just want my gd reference pic visible in zbrush.

@Sicarius089 Год назад

I know right, you can't do anything basic in ZBrush without having to go through a plethora of menus unlike other sculpting apps where it's tap on image menu, tap on photo and it's there, then you can adjust the settings right of the bat without having to go through any other menus.

@grimfandango229 7 месяцев назад

It makes no sense that that the standard setup is to load images upside down, and that you have to then go through other option, just to get the image to show the correct way round. Is there any advantage to this, or is it just badly set up?

Summary: 1) Texture ⟶ Import 2) Select Image ⟶ Open 3) Tool Palette ⟶ Subtool ⟶ Append 4) Select Plane 3D 5) Subtool ⟶ Select the newly created Plane 3D 6) Tool Palette ⟶ Texture Map ⟶ Select the blank slot 7) Quick Pick ⟶ Select imported Texture Map 8) Move the plane along the Z-axis to separate it from the sphere 9) Flip Texture Map by using the Move option -OR- by going into the Texture Palette ⟶ Selecting desired Texture ⟶ Flip verticle ⟶ Tool Palette ⟶ Texture Map ⟶ Select Image in slot ⟶ Quick Pick ⟶ Select flipped Texture Map 10 ) Activate Transparency

Wow a 7 minute video on how to add a simple reference image. How does anyone do anything on this program.

@wesleytarr6302 3 года назад

Thank You. So Much. Reapplying the reference image every time I open my ZTL was making me tear my hair out. Even though I'm bald.

@romanmendicant6864 3 года назад

what if my reference is not a perfect quad image ? Looks like a terrible workflow...

@Sh-ff7pt 2 года назад

Thanks for this helpful video but I have an issue could please guide me? When I import and use a reference and start to sculpt and turn on symmetry, the symmetry doesn't fit and set on the model properly and actually it's on but doesn't work!

@Tenchinu 3 года назад

perfect! except, transparency doesn't really make the model see-through. How do I make the subtool even more transparent, so I can see the image behind it?

@manu1306100 Год назад

@sleepagentfnc 3 года назад

Hey, when I try to use transparent it makes the Plain3D with the image transparent too and it disappears when I try to use it in the background. Any ideas?

@Angelo-ux2it 2 года назад

You left out one very important detail. What if your image isn't an exact square?

@ozzy1243 Год назад

Still no replies and it's been a year

@justinederuyck2016 Год назад

What I do is bring it into photoshop put it into a square canvas, if you have white sides that are blank you can up the transparency on the reference images in the texture panel and it will get rid of those white images. There's probably a different way to do it in zbrush but that's just how I do it

@Noname-if3nf 4 месяца назад

@timursibatov730 3 года назад

Thank you! But if the size of the image reference is different from the size of the plane? I mean, here both reference and plane are perfect squares, what if the image reference is not a perfect square?

@meganfisher831 2 года назад

You could create a new image with a larger canvas size than your desired texture, and make the new image a perfect square, then paste your image into the middle of it and save that as a new jpeg/png to upload to the plane.

@avacadonacho 2 года назад

Does anyone know how to make it so that the reference images STAY in the scene every time i re-open the zbrush file?

@majidmahjoorart Год назад

Why don't you create an image import button like in Blender? In order to produce a model for 3D printing, my model must be in harmony with the perspective view and the model should not be bigger or smaller than the reference by moving the camera back and forth.

@PEMGILRAT 2 месяца назад

this information is outdated. instead do this. On the texture menu go to the bottom, then click on Image Plane ---> Load Image --> load your image--> then on Reference views you have a bunch of parameters to put images on the right, back sides, even custom angles. Also you will se an opacity slide with a on/off toggle. enjoy!

@VogelHeather 9 месяцев назад

Hi I have a question. I have added in the image plane as you instructed, how when I select the sphere subtool, the image plane behind suddenly turns black, making it impossible to use the image on there as a sculpting guide.

@yeolunius4559 7 месяцев назад

Not sure if you’ve already discovered the answer but if you haven’t here it is: - once you’ve already turned on transparency, there should be another button under the transparency button which says “ghost”. Click it to turn it off, and it should change colours from orange to grey. Then you should see your image appear.

@shakal_ Год назад

damn like sorry for being so blunt but just make an "import picture" button

@nimrod7785 3 года назад

That’s a horrendous workflow. You had square images, otherwise you need to calculate the aspect ratio and apply that to the planes. 50 clicks for a simple task that is essential. See what blender is doing, drag and drop the image and that’s it. Of course not to blame the creator of the video, but to raise a red flag for the pixologic team.

@brockrock2359 2 года назад

it gets way worse. Say you want to color pick an image outside of zbrush or from pure ref you can't do that. You have to do this same ridiculous method. In 2021...

If the scale of the model to be produced is to be produced in 1/24 or 1/35 scale, how do you make it??

Shocking that this isn't in ZbrushCore. Its basic functionality. Using the grids for reference images is clumsy and cumbersome.
