Re: Zbrush3+Realsoft3D

Hi Matt :

painting in RS "can" be easy.
The question is: what do you like to paint?
RS has no custom brushes, or graphic-tablet support.
(That's a reason, too, why I use ZBrush ;-)

OK .

But painting lines or projecting images on a part
of your model, can be easy, depending on your model.

What about 3D painting advanced VSL Shaders ?

I'll set up a "how I'm doing this" in RS if you like.

That would be an awesome addition to the community
docs !

Hi Matt :

  OK , I like your workflow . Sounds almost seamless , except
for the subdividing part , but I'm assuming once you have

your map from ZBrush you can go back to rendering using smooth SDS in RS ?

  Anyway , from what I can tell , no one has addressed my
original question , and that is "what about 3D painting
your model right inside RS ? " . As I said , I have never
tried it . Is it possible , but not very easy , or not
possible at all ?

Thanks in Advance .
