Vertex colors and Zbrush?

ZBrush Artworks
#1

Hi all,

I noticed in one of the Zbrush Zsphere Zscripts, that somehow the instructor changed the Zsphere/mesh color somehow…

I was wondering :

1… How do I change Zsphere colors…

2… Is that Vertex coloring on the Final mesh…

3… dose the vertex coloring Export…

:slight_smile:

Thanks in advanced :slight_smile:

All you need to do is select a different color than white in the color palate. You can also assign any type of material to your zif’s as well.

#3

To have multiple colors, you must select your first color and then press Color>Fill Object. This activates vertex shading. Now each new ZSphere that’s added will be whatever the current color is. In addition, the linking spheres between two differently-colored ZSpheres will be colored with a gradient. The skin generated this way will also be vertex shaded to match.

This is realy cool, Thank you Aurick,

I am going to go and test to see if the OBJ MTL file retains the Vertex coloring :slight_smile:

If this is the case, I have a great new way to texture My stuff for a Toon Shader game I am working on :slight_smile:

Thanks also to wchamlet,

I realy appreciate all the help I get in thease forums :slight_smile:

This is the best software I own! and My favorite comunity :slight_smile:

Ummm is there a way to increase the texturesize for the generated skin?

#6

Texture size or mesh density?
Regardless…lol…its yes to both. Just make a new texture with the texture palette and apply it by cllicking on it.

#7

Ummmm, Mahlikus The Black ?

When I make a new texture it looses the colors, and makes 1 solid colored texture…

Is there a switch, for makeing the vertex colors show up in the New texture?

Thanks for your help :slight_smile: I love your artwork!

Just create a new texture as MTB said. Apply it to your vertex shaded object and press Tool :small_orange_diamond:Modifiers :small_orange_diamond:Texture :small_orange_diamond:Col>Txr.

You can colour zspheres easily, one node at a time if you want, using Digits Zif Slick script. It took me about 30 mins to do this;

The button in Zif Slick I used is this one;

Yes, the colours of the zspheres are copied to the polygons when you create the mesh. This can then be converted into a texture giving you a great base texture to start with.

I did have a few problems with the Zif Slick script giving error messages. But I just clicked ‘ok’ and it seemed to carry on ok.

Glad to see my script being used to great effect! You can also hover the mouse over a sphere and use the shortcut key ‘c’ to color the node with the currently selected color.
