Pixologic continues to improve and enhance ZBrush functionality by giving you access to an enriched toolset of new features which will increase creativity and productivity.
The new ZRemesher provides entirely rebuilt retopology system to give even better automated and user guided topology.
There are also new brushes and functions to improve your workflow for both organic and hard surface sculpting.
Built within an elegant interface, ZBrush offers the world an advanced tool for today's digital artists. With an arsenal of features that have been developed with usability in mind, ZBrush creates a user experience that feels incredibly natural while simultaneously inspiring the artist within.
This page will give you an idea of the key features of ZBrush 4R6 and the system requirements of ZBrush 4R6.
Take a look around.
The new functions in ZRemesher are smarter, able to analyze the curvature of your model with the precision of a computer, but with the subtlety of the human eye.
Add more polygons locally where needed, changing their shape to create perfect topology flow. As with most ZBrush tools, ZRemesher also lets you take control over the automatic process and give your own guidance to the core algorithms. It is easy to drive the flow of polygons with the help of curves. You can also define where you wish to have more or lower polygon density.
The new Trim Curve brushes cut your models in a way that is very similar to the Clip brushes, but deletes the affected polygons rather than pushing them to the stroke line. And as you can imagine, these new brushes will be DynaMesh's new best friends!
Creating holes through a mesh has been possible since the introduction of DynaMesh and more recently enhanced with Mesh Fusion. Now ZBrush adds another option for this purpose with the Bridge Curve brush: select an opening, PolyGroup border or crease edge and connect it with another to generate a bridge of polygons. And because this new topology detection is so useful with the Frame Mesh feature, Pixologic went ahead and enabled it for all brushes that use curves.
