Workflow improvements: new options for adjusting your last stroke and painting on posed meshes The shape of the generated strokes morphs smoothly between the two source strokes, making it possible to create patterns of detail that conform to the contours of a surface. New sculpting features include Stroke Interpolate, which creates an array of regularly spaced brush strokes between two source strokes. In the example above, the Home stage stores the dog collar in a position ready to be sculpted, while the Target stage stores it posed around the dog’s neck, making it possible to continue sculpting it with symmetry while checking the result in context.ĭigital sculpting: Stroke Interpolate creates arrays of strokes between two source strokes Users can then toggle back and forth between the two stages at will. Stager: store a home state for a Sub-tool and toggle back and forth while sculptingĪnother new feature in ZBrush 2021.7 is Stager, which makes it possible to store the position, rotation and scale of any Sub-Tool in two states: the Home stage and the Target stage. The update also adds two new Bevel brushes, BevelArc and BevelFlat, for bevelling the edges of a model via a brush-based workflow, rather than by entering parameter values for the Bevel deformer. Unlike the existing Trim Curve brushes, they can be used with symmetry and the new topology created by the cut consists largely of quads, barring the odd triangle where the new surface meets the old one.

Hard surface modelling: new Knife and Bevel brushesįor hard surface work, ZBrush 2021.7 introduces two new Knife brushes for cutting geometry along a path. The new features were announced during a livestream, the recording of which can be seen here. The release also adds Stager, a new system for storing and toggling between base and posed states for SubTools, and Stroke Interpolate, for creating arrays of brush strokes. Pixologic has released ZBrush 2021.7, its latest free update to the digital sculpting software, adding new sets of Knife and Bevel brushes for hard surface modelling.
