Hello everybody!
I was wondering if anyone who have seen the DVD of Zack Petroc know how to download the xyShrinkWrap.mel he is talking about in the last chapter Organized Mesh Creation… I d really need this script to use the stuff I ve made in Zbrush with Maya but even Google doesn t seem to know anything about this… All I found was like two broken links… does anybody know if it s free or where it is distributed or downloadable ? Strange that no link or information is given on the DVD…

thanx for your help

is there anything like this for 3ds max??? This would be so great to have when refining the low poly mesh to conform better to the high poly, but so far I have not seen anything like this for max.

I’m not a big fan of using the xyshrinkwrap stuff. It just takes so long to do. I’m interested to know how you guys are using it. Do you make a high res mesh, then shrinkwrap it to your new cage, or do you sculpt a medium res mesh and shrinkwrap that?

My current workflow is to just make the cage by hand, that closely mimics the Zbrush sculpt. I use Silo for that, but you could use Maya to do the same thing. But I do a medium res sculpt in Zbrush, just to get volume details rather than superficial details. I usually do the superficial details after I redo the topology.

I’m just curious to see how you guys are implementing the xyshrinkwrap stuff. Here’s a sample of my workflow, base sculpt cage, medium res mesh for volume, and new topology cage with volume information ready for superficial details.
