Mike you are a legend! Thank you so much for all you do for us.

[@ZephrusPrime]

Really excited to see the new Anchor points, looks like a game changer for posing in ZBrush.

[@JoshFryer]

I'm sure these features are going to seem small to some users, but I've been wanting these for YEARS! So cool! Thanks Pav!

Zbrush 2024, Houdini 20, Blender 4.0, Jesus, how to have time to study all this)

By starting

[@Rin8Kin]

How long it took? Just like ELEVEN YEARS to add the functionality that was OBVIOUS for all users?... Yay, i'm sooooo excited =_= Now to wait another 12 years so they figure out how to make curves to act like controllable splines like in all NORMAL 3d software... Seriously, it's the best sculpting software, but as 3D software it's like a bad joke.

[@GameArtsCafe]

Upon dragging out a line of spaced IMM's, Is it possible to interpolate the order of models within the stroke? They could be unique models in the IMM or morphed versions. Couple examples: sectioned pillar components or an object that has many morphed versions.

[@ryankelly9657]

Actually I did you one better, and showcased how to taper VDM size with a dot stroke + Pen pressure -- Very curious to see if that would work with this. Permission to link video to you here or elsewhere?

[@atefezare5623]

you are really cool!!

[@Ricardo-de9ju]

Most important feature, How can I get rotation variation when spreading my models? Also, is there a way to spray out without getting collisions?

[@MrAsag]

🔥🔥

[@vuankhanhbeo]

24:00 Is there a way for me to apply mesh to ONLY 1 curve instead of all of them?

[@einharjar]

Hi sir, why arent the curves snapping on top of the surface whenever i drag them in zbrush 2024? I didnt have this problem in 2021. Before it had only 2 choices for the Picker Tab Once Z and Cont Z. But this version has 4 options to pick. I have tried searching for solutions but its still very wonky compared to earlier versions of zbrush. Hope you will respond to my question. Thank you!

[@mmmuck]

I wish imm and curve could just auto create a separate sub tool and ignore sub divs

[@darrellabney4802]

Can you spray an IMM brush onto a non flat object such as a sphere? I sprayed it but it seemed to snap to a plane only

[@lochblanch1480]

Cool

[@ryankelly9657]

I have been able to use drag dot with a VDM and adjust the pen pressure settings for z intensity and size + lazy step to get it to taper. Do any of the pen pressure curves effect it so that you might be able to get them to taper? I would check myself but I do not have 2024 yet! still on 2022.0.8 for the time being. :-(

[@Darkspits]

Hey Mike, I'm not sure if you've noticed the issue, but using lazy mouse on the imm brushes seems to create a *tiny* first instance before swapping to the correct size with each stroke. I was experimenting with how to use this for short hair and fur, and found that 1/3rd of all my points consisted of tiny stray pieces. Just curious if you have experienced something similar!

[@MichaelPavlovich]

yes! hopefully there's a point release fix coming shortly :-/

[@jerzygorczyca2412]

Do you know how to make every single instance of imm to have different rotation, with this news imm mode? It look good with the sphere, but if we have more challenging shape ale this instance will have the same direction?. Also is it possibility to change imm shape randomly for each instance (different imms)?

[@JustForNowStudios]

It sounds like you might want to use the drag dot stroke method to place IMM object's one by one, and just manually orient them in the right direction. Or if you would like to place multiple at once and randomly rotate them you could use Nanomesh. Drop in to Michael's livestreams and he will be sure to answer this!

[@jerzygorczyca2412]

@@JustForNowStudios this one I know. But I was curious if there is any way to use spray stroke with random not rotation not only size. I used many other way to multiplication imm before, but of the e is positive to use spray more random it’ll be a great way to do new things more freely

[@Ricardo-de9ju]

@@jerzygorczyca2412 The most frustrating thing for me is when you have an tool with incomplete functionality. Once we got this, I not even will touch on nano mesh again.
