When your happy you simply hit Process Current. Once you have pre processed the object you can easily undo different levels of decimation and go back to the original giving you the freedom to quickly find the right resolution. This basically means how low do you want to go in terms of resolution. Once it has computed you can then select a percentage of decimation you want to occur. You must first select your object and then pre process it……this is where the computer does all the hard work while you grab a cup of coffee. This tool can reduce down the amount of polygons in your model but retain alot of the detail you have endured to create. To avoid such frustrating scenarios occurring the next step is to use the Decimation Master plugin which comes with Zbrush. We couldn’t use this to send to our 3d printer software because the file would be massive and would most likely crash your desktop. This will make you one very hi res solid object. With your object selected, raise the Dynamesh resolution to something like 1500 to 2000 and hit Dynamesh. My preferred method of doing this is to use the Dynamesh tool in Zbrush. This is where we will connect all the objects together so that there are no gaps in-between your subtools. As an Award-Winning and industry leading application, ZBrush finds use at some of the worlds leading film, games and design studios. For example if you have a sculpture of a head and decide you want to add a hat to it but want to print the two together as a solid object you need to merge the two together.Īfter all the merging is done, we can move on to retopologizing the model. The next step is to merge your subtools together if you have more than one object. To start with if you have used any layers in Zbrush to detail your model you need to bake these into the geometry. Generally the higher your poly count the longer you will be waiting to process if at all. These are the keys that I use on a daily basis for all the sculpts that I create for my client and personal work. The best case scenario is to be able to export a STL file that is both high in detail but also light in terms of poly count so that your printer software is able to cope with the complicated mathematics it has to perform. ![]() But when it comes to exporting models for printing just like exporting models for animation, there are things you need to consider. In Zbrush you can forget about geometry these days and purely focus on your designs without a care in the world which is fantastic. We will explain our method of prepping Zbrush files so that you get the most out of your creative efforts. So you’ve designed something amazing in Zbrush, you’ve got a 3d printer….but don’t no how to get your design ready for print! Well fear not as this blog has got you covered. ![]()
