In this video tutorial ZBrush Instructor Adam Gibson demonstrates how to integrate 2D Image Editing Software with ZBrush 4 using the powerful free ZApp Link Plugin. The ability to use painting and photo editing tools outside of ZBrush's current tool set opens up worlds of new possibilities for texturing your 3D objects. ZApp works with Adobe Photoshop and many other 2D Applications. If you are seriously looking to texture your ZBrush models/meshes using a traditional 2D Image Editor then this video tutorial is a must for you. This video also shows how to make a UV Map for your models with only 2 mouse-clicks using the "PUV Tiles" feature. Level: Beginner Running Time: 1 hr. 23 mins.

In this videos series we show 3D students how to use ZBrush 4 and Lightwave 3D together as an easy and functional workflow and pipeline in your 3D projects. Although this video series uses Lightwave 3D as the final output for your ZBrush work, most of the concepts, principles and techniques used here will work with all the most popular 3D programs like 3D Max, Maya, Softimage, Modo, Cinema 4D and many others. In this video tutorial ZBrush/Lightwave Instructor Adam Gibson shows how to use ZBrush to create high detail color map on a Velociraptor dinosaur that is exported as an image map for use inside of Lightwave 3D.

In this tutorial Lightwave and ZBrush Instructor Adam Gibson shows you how to create Displacements Maps for a Velociraptor dinosaur model originally created in Lightwave 3D. By using the sculpting tools inside of Zbrush you can add detail to your models like muscle, bone, tendons, and ligaments and export that detail out as a Displacement Map for use in other 3D programs. Adam shows how the Displacement Node in Lightwave 3D is utilized to reproduce the detail created in ZBrush from the sculpting process. The Displacement Node set-up is shown in full detail so that the student can easily recreate it on their own and even save it for use on other projects.
