Many of us think that ZBrush is used mainly for sculpting, creature and character design, but I was offered a position at my work recently designing plumbing systems. So here is some of what I have been working on aside from creating aliens and the like with ZBrush…
You might ask why would I use ZBrush??? Why not use software like Revit, or other CAD type software and I can say that I am just more comfortable in ZBrush… I’ve modeled all of the fittings with Zmodeler and created IMM brushes for each system like “water” or “waste fittings”, I’m able to simply model over the floor plans, I can group the subtools for each system, for each floor of a structure and display what is called for on every page for print. Using the gizmo, plus the freeform navigation of ZBrush is just too awesome. The only set back is getting a sizable render for 40” x 32” architectural prints at 600dpi, so I ponied up and bought Keyshot with the ZBrush to Keyshot Bridge and is awesome.
There are too many things you can use ZBrush for!!!
