CGChain -- New and Improved Matcap Library (Updated - 10th Dec)

Hey all,

Hope nobody minds me posting here. :cool:
Thought it was high time I registered as I already know a lot of you here. :lol: I’ve been lurking around these boards for a long time, not in a creepy way, mind, just because the work is always so good – and because ZBrush is the best piece of software. EVER.

I wanted to let you all know that today at CGChain we’ve started a new MatCap Library where anyone in the ZBrush community can browse and download free MatCaps. These will always be free to a good home. The first 15 went up already, but we have a whole load more that will start to be added over the following days (takes a while).

We’ve set it up so you have the freedom to rate or comment upon each MatCap, and we hope this will allow us to create more of the stuff that people like and need. You’ll notice, too, that we’ve seperated the MatCaps into Sculpting Caps and Exhibition Caps, as these two jobs may not go hand-in-hand.

If you have any Matcaps that you feel you would ike to share, then please contact MonteCristo or CGStripe at CGChain and we’ll be sure to take a look, and if we like it, rate and post them. :slight_smile:

Downloads will require Registration, but later on we will be creating a few exclusive goodies for anyone that posts (or has ever posted work) that we feel deserves a plug.

Hope you all find this of use!
Monte

PS. If any of the Pixologic guys should like any of our early endeavours, and should they want to add them as default Materials, they can have them with our best wishes.

MonteCristo thank you for share this.

It’s a pleasure. :smiley: We’re just getting revved up, and have a whole bunch waiting in the wings, so be sure to check back.

I probably won’t do an update tonight as I want to work on some of my own stuff for a change. Will post here when I have something. :slight_smile:

Cool. Thanks. But for some reason none of the pictures show up? haha. Could be my pc. These things hate me. damn pc’s… :smiley:

No, you’re not going mad. :smiley: Basically, the default of the board is that in order to see images and download links etc. you have to register. It’s pretty common in these forums, and it’s super-quick to do. We’ll be adding more Caps and other good stuff, so help yourself whenever you like. :slight_smile:

brettSinclair: you have to register. after login you’ll be able to see pictures.

thank you “monte” for the matcaps!!!

have fun!

chem!

Hi guys, Thanks for the compliments on the matcaps so far.

Just added another 5 MatCaps. This time, we’re looking at straight-forward sculpting MatCaps, used for day-to-day working and sculpt review. You’ll need to register in order to see any images/thumbnails or download links. Don’t worry it’s free and quick to do. No catch.

That’s probably gonna be the last update on these for the little while. We’ve got another free resource under development for the next update. Watch this space! :smiley:

Enjoy!

Thanks MC! Your site is really nicely designed btw.

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Thank you mate. Very nice of you to say so.

Just hope it becomes a useful, thriving resource some day.

Hi ! Your Matcaps are looking cool ! But unfortunately the link is not working anymore ! Could you please post them on this forum ? Thanx
