Re: Keyshot For Zbrush Crack Download
Виталий Филимонов
Hi everybody, I have been playing for a while with keyshot and with the bridge. I am trying to imagine the workflow and have got the impression that once you export your model with subtools to Keyshot, build your scene there , you need to finish your work in the same session because even if you save it as a bip file , once you close the program you lose the live linking to your model. this means that the next time you will want to refine your model and render it with keyshot you will need to re position it an assign materials again . Did I get it right? If it is so it seems like a drawback to me. If I am right is there a workaround?
Another thing that looks like a drawback to me is the fact that it places the model ( or a subtool) in the center of the scene without the ability to decide if I want it in the center (or locked to the ground) or if I want it to retain the position in the scene. When you import an OBJ into keyshot (not the specific one for Zbrush) there is a dialog box that lets you decide if you want to center the geometry, snap it to ground or keep the original location. The way it feels in the bridge is like the camera adjusts itself to the size and of the object moves even if you locked it.
This is particularly annoying when working with a model (a tool) with various subtools. If you want to render the whole tool it will place it in the center. if you only want to render a subtool it will place that in the center, moving it from the original position in respect to the tool . This makes it difficult to build an retain a scene while updating your subtools , unless you always want to render (import them to keyshot) them all (wich takes more time with complex models).
Ok, what I found so far is that if you want to retain the position of a subtool in space in keyshot in a consistent way you have to scale and rotate your model within zbrush and not in keyshot. And also, since keyshot will always snap your tool or subtools lowest point to the ground , to retain its height in space you should always have another subtool in your ground height. say a ground plane. You can make it invisible in keyshot.
Anyhow, I re tried the process of closing and re opening both programs. This time it forgot the material I assigned and I had to reassign it.
Another weird manifestation of the same problem can be seen in these two renderings. Why would suddenly the camera change it`s height in respect to the floor when I render the man with it? I hope things like that will not happen with zbrush subtools
I guess you are right Thor , it is probably a matter of figuring out the right workflow method. For my first assignment in witch I used keyshot I did not have it resolved yet. I think that from now on I will use these methods and it will be ok.
Basically Title, ive been doing some research and it seems like if you have a little too much fibermesh in your Zbrush file, that you cannot try and use the keyshot bridge from ZBrush without the whole thing crashing. Unfortunately, I cannot manually import every subtool into keyshot as I have the zbrush package version and not the standalone version. Does anyone know a workaround/fix? Or am I basically SOL?
update to this: to be more specific, objects I move in zbrush, then reupdate keyshot with lose their materials in keyshot that I have tweaked, and get the initial zbrush material they were assigned, with the default settings. I have not changed the names of anything or anything else like that. Please help!
I sometimes encounter issues with getting a material (from zbrush) to update in Keyshot for whatever reason. Perhaps this is your problem. Try sending a flat color embedded object from Zbrush after restarting both programs.
Problem, I insert figure into scene, use goz to send figure to zbrush.
Subdivide (smooth off) export as obj.
Back in DaZ I go to figure>I add level of detail import obj as "daz scale" name it.
In parameters I select the figure to mesh resolution my obj is there.
I check it and ........the figure totally disappears.
Isn't anything about this stuff easy?
Figure is gone.
Steps involved.
1.Figure is inserted into scene, in this case David 3. Pose is defaut. Maps applied.
2.Figure is selected and goz button pressed.Figure comes into zbrush at 74510 .
With no other adjustment, figure is subdivided (smt off) Figure now is 292464.
Figure is exported as obj file
4 Back in DAZ original figure is selected. Menu>edit>figure>geometry>add level of detail is selected.
5.import geometry window opens. Zbrush obj is selected/
6.Under obj import options convert to dAZ studio has Poser (iunit+8ft) is selected
7.All boxes at botton of screen are selected. scale reads 24384%. Accept is checked.
Box to name mesh level is filled in.
8. Import takes a few seconds.
9. Figure is selected, at this point visible (I added a shirt at this point, as a tracker).
10. Inside the Resolution level box my obj is visble. I check the box, figure disappears, shirt remains.
Figure is nowhere inside windon. I check base, figure is back.
I was talking about the amazing speed up in the character design process. The Keyshot Bridge allows for quick export of all the different mesh types known in ZBrush without any further preperation. There is no need for any decimation of the mesh or re-topology to import the model in another software package to make it ready for rendering. No need for generating and exporting displacement maps or normal maps to transfer all the details. The keyshot bridge does it all for you.
