New Thunder website design!

admin — Sat, 30 May 2009 06:29:21 +0000

终于搞定了新的服务器，还是国外的好，物美价廉，还不用备案！！三分钟热度弄了个网站的设计，越设计想法越多，后来忽然感觉这个是个大工程阿！短短几天是搞不定了，还是找个现成的网站模板现实些。。

不过为了纪念这次冲动，还是放上来供大家批评吧，说不定什么时候有时间可以捡起来继续做下去。。。

Zbrush New Officail Plugins-Go Z!

admin — Sat, 30 May 2009 05:44:14 +0000

又一个重量级的插件，实现Maya, modo, Cinima4D 的无缝连接。牛鼻阿，震撼阿，激动啊！貌似暂时还不支持Max.. 。可惜的是暂时还没有官方下载，应该还在测试中吧，痛苦的期待着。

One of the core functions of ZBrush has always been to provide artists with the ability to create in an environment that allows for complete freedom of expression. The lack of technical barriers that make working with in ZBrush feel like real world sculpting and painting is why so many have created such ground breaking work.

We would now like to introduce you to, GoZ, a new core feature of ZBrush that will bring you even closer to creating at the speed of your imagination. With GoZ, artists can spend less time on technical aspects, and more time on simply being creative. With a single click of a button, GoZ lets you quickly transfer your geometry back and forth between ZBrush and other 3D application like Maya, Cinema 4D, and Modo, with many other applications soon to come. This means that you can place ZBrush and its GoZ feature at the center of any workflow. Not only can you instantly transfer geometry between ZBrush and other 3D applications, but any texture, normal, and displacement maps created with in ZBrush will automatically be connected to the appropriate shader networks in the program of your choosing. Now you are free to work with out the distraction of timely export and import operations. GoZ breaks down the walls between other applications extending the power and fluid nature of ZBrush even further. GoZ is actually a small glimpse at the many powerful features that have been developed for ZBrush 4. At this time we will be releasing the first version of GoZ with the next Mac OSX update in June, Windows users will be able to take advantage of GoZ along with all of the new features that have been added to ZBrush 4 when it is released this August.

For now enjoy the preview movie

and get ready to

GoZ

A detailed GoZBrush communication protocol and software development kit (sdk) will be made available at GoZBrush.com following the relase of GoZ.
This will enable you to easily customize GoZ to fit your existing pipeline.
