03of 15 Orb Cracks Brush I love this brush so muchįor a long, long time, the Damian Standard was the go to seam/crack/crease brush, but Orb's is just so much cleaner.Instead of pinching the heck out of your geometry, Orb uses a perfectly formed alpha in conjunction with lazy-mouse to give a clean, well-defined line.You'll find uses for Orb Cracks in both environment and organic sculpting, but it really shines when doing stylized stuff, a la DOTA, Blizzard, Torchlight, Darksiders, etc.If you're interested in how the brush works, Orb put a tutorial up on Vimeo, or you can just download it here.Ġ4of 15 sIBL HDR Archive The sIBL isn't exclusively a Zbrush resourcean archive of well-shot HDR images can come in handy no matter what 3D package you're using! SIBL provides a wide range of quality HDRs that are perfect for image based lighting, enviroment maps, and lightcap creation in Zbrush. If you go over to Zbro's blog, you'll find a wide range of ZMT downloads available, including an excellent skin shader, a useful silhouette material, and an extensive clay set.These materials feel great to sculpt onoutside of the Ralph Stumpf Gnomonology sets (premium), they're some of the best out there. If you're using Zbrush, it's almost impossible that you don't already know about ZbrushCentral, the ZClassroom, and the Zbrush downloads center, but consider this a reminder if you've overlooked it.The Zclassroom has improved substantially over the past six months to the point where they have some of the best Zbrush training available anywhere, free or premium.It's also well organized into bite sized chunks, so it's perfect for learning a specific tool or workflow.Don't miss it! 02of 15 Zbro Matcap Sets I've used a lot of different Zbrush Matcap sets, but Zbro's have gradually become some of my favorite sculpting materials around.
