Transpose Master with ZSphere Rigging!

[@animarch3D]

Anyone else get pumped when they see a Michael Pavlovich video drop? You know that playlist is coming! Legend Pav man

[@hanialadham4336]

Man, this guys is a Zbrush encyclopedia, you wont find anything better on youtube, thanks for the videos!

[@TheFatalintention]

Thanks Michael, been watching ur videos since 2016, I become the artist I am because youtube artist like you. It doesnt have anything to do with you or ur work but, its a shame what maxon is doing to zbrush. Peace!

[@dv3d]

Hi Michael! Always a pleased to see your vids... 14 years Zb veteran here! I always get better results masking and posing using the 3D Gizmo. Every time I see a new Zspheres rig video I hope to find they finally added envelopes instead of having to add all those extra Zspheres that breaks de Zspheres hierarchy IK =P Have a great week, thanks for the video!

When I do this it gives me error -32 when hitting the "TPose|SubT" button. Only happens when I try to use Proxy pose.

Great tutorial. Also, incredible sculpt!

[@DisgruntledPigumon]

And so, with the takeover, we say goodbye to new versions and features of Zbrush and to some of the greats like Michael Pavlovich. It’s been great! Thank you!

[@JimmyMcIntyre]

What's happening with Zbrush? Why the goodbyes?

[@DisgruntledPigumon]

@@JimmyMcIntyre sorry to sound alarming, nothing’s different from Maxon’s takeover last year. It’s just that a lot of us can’t/won’t use Zbrush anymore and have moved to Blender. So now the once good feeling from seeing a new Pav video released has changed to “sadly, this means nothing to me now.” :/

[@JimmyMcIntyre]

@@DisgruntledPigumon That's sad to hear. I've just made the switch from Blender to ZBrush as, apparently, you won't get a job unless you're working with the industry standard software. I'd happily stay with Blender otherwise.

[@DisgruntledPigumon]

@@JimmyMcIntyre well I mean it’s bad on my side, great on yours. If you’re in a position where you’ll be advancing in your career by using Zbrush, and are able to justify the cost, then you’re definitely far above a lot of us. And I’m very happy to hear that. Zbrush is absolutely the best for what it was designed to do. And you already know Blender which will be an amazing support tool. I’m just scratching the surface of it and although it’s clunky, it seems to be nearly limitless. I wish Pavlovich would start doing Blender tutorials. But anyway, sorry you have to buy into certain apps because of the industry, but happy you have the ability to do so. And definitely good luck on your future with that.

Proxy pose is fing great! Been using Zbrush for 20 years now, somehow missed it! I guess i don't pose things much :) Zbrush keeps surprising me!

[@tkitart2200]

For some reason, when do the transpose master, it always said error -32 and can not transfer pose

[@RootsThunder]

Extremely helpful, thanks!

In every tutorial this zsphere posing seems so nice, and I always wonder why Iam not using it. Then I try it and start remembering why it sucks so much. It deforms the mesh (like split it in slices), when the mesh is too dense (but even for 13K I got these artefacts). And sometimes it just doesnt recreate the mesh and gives me -32 error.

THANK YOU

[@mixmixki3283]

Thankyou , very helpful

[@RenaudGaland21]

Hi Michael! Awesome tutorial. One question that I still have is: Is there a way to save the posed skeleton after the first transpose master session? So if you need to further polish the pose you can start where you left off and load the updated Zsphere skel? Thanks again for everything you're doing for the community :)

[@DavidTronix808]

Thanks for this refresher Mike. I know you're using Character Creator 4 now so is this Zsphere rig method still useful for some things still?

[@angrybidoof847]

This is where i find out that the version our university gave us dose not include proxy pose

[@VoidloniXaarii]

You're so awesome ❤

[@АнтонБашаркевич]

Can i pose my models this way with dynamesh topology? Or i need do retop?

[@midori6756]

Awesome!

[@thelightsarebroken]

does this work if you use subdiv or only if its dynameshed?

[@AngusLake]

Thanks for sharing Mickael! Have you ever had issues to put it in Tpose|SubT once your rig has been posed ? The issue I have is after posing my character it just ask me to load a tpose mesh and once loaded, it says complete but does not send my posing to my subtool model, any ideas ? Thank you

[@The_Toonimator]

Interesting. I've been out of the transpose mesh feature for several years now and still use 2022. So does the transpose master mode always have a single zphere when the low rea mesh loads in?
