Hi, thank you very much for this tutorial! I have a question though, is it possible to apply this noise only to a polygroup instead of the entire chosen subtool?
@JohanLithvall : Sorry for the late reply Johan! Yes, it's very easy to apply the noise to only a polygroup: mask all areas that you don't want the noise applied to (you can easily select polygroups by Sift+Ctrl clicking on them -with the Select Rect brush- and then using Ctrl+ drag to mask them - > let me know if this worked for ya :)
@EtcherTube It worked perfectly fine, thank you very much for this great piece of advice & the rest of your tutorials :) I managed to create a suit using your technique, so many thanks for that! Pic can be found on pixologic on facebook, it's the orc I have as youtube-pic he he
@daloart : thanx, glad the vid was helpful. This is a new feature in Z4, so you won't be able to use Z3 -> if you're a registered user you can update to Z4R2 for free!
Thank you very much for taking the time to post this. I just happen to be working on an illustration featuring a whimsical little knight. I've done everything, clean UV's, nice perfect alpha, but the alpha appears applied at a slight angle. Also, while looking nice in preview, once applied to the mesh the pattern seems to lose a lot of resolution, even at level 7 or 8. After some hours, I'm stumped.
hmmm thanks for the fast reply etchertube, i think i know what you mean, im sure i did the uvs before adding the noise, i will try again...could you post the link to your beta thread it would be great help. I cant find your post on zbrush central.
@SuperMontana2008 : Youtube does not allow the posting of links in replies -> go to my website (see link in Profile box) and you can go to my betathread from there, you'll also find links to my other tutorials :) hth
@SuperMontana2008 : keep these steps in mind: you HAVE to adjust the UV's BEFORE applying the noise. You HAVE to "work on clone" in UVMaster and then Copy&Paste the UV's to the original tool. I supplied a written and illustrated step by step in my beta thread on ZBrush Central. Let me know if this helps :)
@jerickman : thanks so much -> I know it's "only" a demo, but I wanted to bring in the mood of the Beast's world, the material is the standard White Cavity MatCap with Wax activated (100%)
Thank you for the video! I'm waiting for my copy and this is tiding my over. I can see I will be using this all the time. What happens if you use 3d + masking? Do you think you could get similar results?
@mastershokhan : thanks for watching & you're welcome :) . I'm not sure I follow you on the 3d/masking question but I tried different ways to get finer textures on sculpts and this is by far the best.
Great video, I'm new to zbrush but this is very helpful.

Where did you get the tileable alpha texture?

@greatveemonGFX : check out my Betathread at ZBrush Central, you'l find a complete walkthrough on how to create the tileable alpha

Why did you make your UVs all square-ish in the beginning? Was that necessary?
sheebshag 5 months ago
@sheebshag : I did that to have a controlled continuity of the tileable from one UV island to the other.

Very nice! dig the dark music and the fleshiness of the material you used

@EtcherTube Yup. Just the other day I got my update email. The wax option was one of the first I discovered.
