On November 16, 2023, Maxon One released details on the latest updates and improvements to ZBrush and Cinewire, including the usage of anchor brushes and grids, as well as more operation methods for blade brushes. Cinewire improved the import of Cinema 4D files into virtual engines and extended support for Redshift materials.
ZBrush 2024
ZBrush is a digital engraving and painting software that has revolutionized the entire 3D industry with its powerful features and intuitive workflow. In a concise interface, ZBrush provides the world's most advanced tools for contemporary digital artists. The functional combination developed with a practical approach not only stimulates the artist's creativity, but also creates a user experience that feels very smooth during operation. ZBrush 2024 has made many improvements to improve the industry standard for digital engraving.
Innovative anchor brushes are updated and can be used without covering the surface.
Splitting into parts extends the tool brush function, allowing resources to be divided into multiple parts while retaining the sliced part as a separate or unified part in the sub tool menu.
Gizmo and Transpose tools now have the function of topology masking and capturing the center of the masking area. Gizmo and Transpose Lines can capture along the masking area, making the artist's masking workflow easier.
Cinema 4D noise is now available for use in the ZBrush surface noise library.
With the new "repeat to similar" feature, artists can easily repeat changes in the source mesh they are editing and fill the changes into the target mesh with the same number of polygons. Repeat similar support for sculpting changes, full mesh replacement, masking, and aggregation.
The expansion and contraction mask functions have been expanded, including more dynamic control and greater design potential.
Contains a new stroke option called DragStamp. Allow controlling the intensity related to the alpha dragged onto the surface by moving the cursor back and forth.
Two new buttons for creases have been added to better control the asset areas where creases and edges appear. Add or remove creases for uncovered areas.
Inserting a grid brush is now compatible with the stroke menu option.
Cineware
Since its release in 2022, the Cineware for Unreal plugin has been committed to a new plugin for the Unreal Engine 4.27, which has substantial workflow improvements for Cinema 4D, such as dynamically importing C4D content without the need for pre caching, and the ability to directly modify Cinema 4D content and properties in the Unreal Editor. This update to Cineware for Unreal improves the ability to import Cinema 4D files into the Unreal Engine. In addition, Redshift materials with subsurface scattering are now supported. You can adjust the texture size before each import to manage texture quality more flexibly.
Capsules
Cinema 4D Capsules includes static assets such as 3D models, textures, HDR, as well as intelligent, parameterized objects, complete projects with preset lighting and animation. We even built a collection of scene node resources, allowing you to parameterize the generation of models and other elements for the project. In this update, Capsules has made significant changes, providing greater assistance to designers and showcasing their rendered works.
The Studio Lighting HDR collection created using Lightmap Ltd. HDR Light Studio will assist in your product lens and title design. Laubwerk has added some trees, grass, and flowering plants to his plant collection. Finally, Maxon continued to update its classic resource library for Redshift compatibility - reducing the number of polygons, modernizing the design, and creating exquisite Redshift materials for all resources. This month, several universal household products were launched that can be used to fill clothing in kitchens or grocery stores.
