The Masking thing is honestly the only cool update they've shown. and honestly if the update costs anything over $100, most people won't even bother buying it, for sure lol

Great! Maxon is turning Zbrush into a C4D addon. Jocking aside, I get the C4D integration part but even though there are some improvements and a few neat features, for me personally, they are not enough to upgrade to the new version. Guess I will decide if I want to upgrade when I see the pricing and the full changelog. I was hoping Maxon would fix some things in zbrush like the camera and lights but instead they slapped on redshift and called it a day, which doesn't really help with the actual sculpting process... I love Zbrush for it's sculpting capabilitys but i feel this new wersion is not reall about that.

I think ill be using an entire Zbrush Workflow for almost everything...Those upgrades are really handy for me ....

Let's hope the update brings a better render option 🍟

Amazing news, the Retry sounds cool to try it out

I will definitely test the new stuff, but I also think I won't be rendering in zbrush. It's probably pretty handy for rendering a small concept, but I'll have to keep working on my end renderings and assets in maya anyway.
Thanks for the short overview.

thank you for resuming zbrush summit😊

The addition of Redshift is awesome in my opinion. They didn't just slap redshift in there they added all the Redshift materials, so now you have a much easier way of doing glass and sub surf scattering. They also said the Redshift render will be added onto continuously, hopefully replacing the Zbrush lights asap ( I hate the current setup). If you currently use Maya w/Redshift you will now be able to send your textures directly over from Zbrush through GoZ and be able to setup your scene faster. This isn't specific to C4D from looking around on the Maxon website. Blender also excepts the Redshift render plugin as well and GoB is available for Zbrush to Blender connection. I'm very curious what the next announcements of the up coming update will have in it. pretty sure they dropped some stuff on you during the summit last year, then hit you with that big left hook right before the release of the big update.

I don’t think what people noticed in the end was that it’s a new baker solution. And i think it’s a more accurate and faster than using cages in marmoset. Just set up your UVs before this baking process and voila you got normal maps, ao maps, metal maps, gloss maps, etc etc in one package. Also not all new features were mentioned at this summit.

Redshift addition is nice but i only care about zremesher and masking to be honest. I hope there's more improvement they didn't show yet.

[JC-ovko]

Not worth it for a new subscription. I’ll can live with the latest version I have but not going to pay for those features I already leverage in other tools but that baking feature is pretty nice.

[visinerita]

If they could take a moment to refresh Zbrush's UI that would be great, lol.

[sourabh_negi]

I was thinking of learning z brush i think now is the best time

[yuriexd]

Kinda not good at sculpting but will try 😂

[aksi]

The only thing could be a better zremesher. Other than that none of it is interesting to me

[MrGATOR]

Yes weakest point of Zbrush is to put it enywhere outside the zbrush, make a fast render of concepts ect. so it's very logical they wanna make sollution to integrate it with Maxon products so more people would consider, yea im going for Zbrush-C4D in my pipline couse its faster and more reliable. Without perpetrual licence anymore tough, they need to show something grondbreaking if they want people to repurchase newer version each year, even this high profiled artist usually dont go with updates so much they stick to what they already established as they workflow.

We all need to not buy this or any products for Maxon. Giving them money gives them power. Stop doing it
