ZBrush 2024 Knife Curve Brush - Split to parts! Create hard surface sci fi panels with no gaps!!

[@va1ent1]

in the previous versions, using the knife tool was the easiest way to get a crash. Would be nice to hear about any updates from this side as well.

[@Glitch-Gremlin]

Yeah, hopefully this is more stable now

[@Cloganart]

@@Glitch-Gremlin I kept getting crashes last night using it 😭

[@va1ent1]

they usually showcase a feature on a simple mesh but in production, you want to use it on way more complex and less "clean" mesh( like meshed vdb-s or fluid sims or some photogrammetry)

[@3dguy839]

Not me I have Hands like a surgeon Don't hate me because I am awesome I did not ask to be I just am HEAR ME NOW LISTEN TO ME LATER

[@Aslan117]

Imaging paying more but still having crashs lmao

[@Fatality6849]

thank you so much sir

[@REDSIDEofficial]

This was very helpful, sometimes i find myself struggling for hours, this really helped me, thank you 🙏

[@JoshFryer]

You know the "I know kung fu" scene from the matrix? I wish I could do that with the contents of your brain. I love how comprehensive your videos are, especially on these new feature videos! Thank you, so much!!!

[@sizovalex]

So much info, and straight to the point. Thank you!

[@raphaelmfb]

Easily one of the features I use the most! Love it! Knife Curve Brush ftw! 🙌

[@grayfox8904]

Keep up the good work man! Fast and straight to the point presentation as always!

[@Crick2x9]

You did a WAY better job at explaining ang getting me excited about these new features than the Zbrush team did 😂😂😂

[@No_Plastic]

Always

[@bakedbeings]

I like 2 hours of David Brent level charisma with my 5 minutes of feature reveals.

[@sudo_47]

Useful development in zbrush

[@niilanteybadu1]

The feature we have been waiting for

[@nickholl]

loving your new video format Michael!

[@junechevalier]

Very useful to split unintentional conjoined dynameshed objects! I recently made a dragon with many horns, some horns got stuck together when dynameshing and I wasn’t aware. Took me a few extra steps to split them, but it would have been easier with this!

[@zedeon6299]

Knife curve sometimes make my zbrush crash is it fixed now?

[@ifeotto]

yeah looks like a russian roulette. Somewhere people from maxon explained it's a matter of how much the mesh is ruined by multiple cuts, but as users we just ask to use reliable tools...

[@gaetangrey441]

Same issue

[@Cloganart]

Boss man, amazing as always 🙏 I just wish the Knife Curves were a lot safer to use. They are so accident prone that I am actively avoiding using them without quicksave lol A good tip apparently is to zRemesh right after you do you a cut (from the Maxon people) because the Knife tool creates a lot of problematic geometry and zBrush goes haywire after a few cuts.

[@alexbobyr8076]

Thank You for the great explanation.

[@antonparovchenko8576]

Thank you for the video! I wonder when Pixologic make possible to easily cut holes without Live Booleans like it is done in 3D Coat million years ago. It would be insanely useful tool. Well, for me at least.

[@cnu73]

😂😂million years ago

[@creationsbydemand4608]

Thank you for sharing this!🙏

[@Neburia]

[@joncorv]

Thanks for sharing

[@GiovanniPagnotta]

Wonderful!

[@marcelodeniz3932]

Very nice!

[@tensazangetsu6587]

It's cool but when it comes to cutting 3dcoat is still way better, (split object by cutting is already there, you can cut circle holes in one click "woaah", it has proper curves cutting with cv/bezier...etc and you can keep your curves in layers for later use). Also you don't have to mirror/mirror and weld, it just mirrors based on the latest side you edited.

[@Icefall3D]

Cool this isnt about another software this is a tech demo and tutorial for a new feature

[@MrAsag]

what about updating layers menu in zbrush 2024

[@RDD87z]

By any chance...is there something to have full control of a stroke?. Like the new Path tool in substance painter to paint bezier curves over the 3d model... thank you for this video Michael.

[@JoshPurple]

Outstanding, Thank You 😁❤⚡🎉🎊🏆🏆🏆!

[@medinabot1055]

Hey, thanks for your amazing videos!!! The knife curve split to parts option is greyed out on my model for some reason under clip brush modifiers. Any ideas?? It would be such a game changer for me….

[@alexeygarmash5819]

Hi Michael! Whats the latest (best) of your intros is valid to learn ZBrush at the moment?

[@BrianLife]

Mine was not working at first. I realized it does not do it ( project the knife cut) from the top. only front projection. so you have to turn your model view (camera not actually transform) and cut looking.. hard to explain. but it works.

[@wetterschneider]

Awww, I'm sad. We still need that tool to split a cut into different polygroups when it's a corner. The curved aspect is good as a single polygroup, but any corner should break into 2 polygroups.

[@zshawn676]

the most crashed tool ever, it means nothing if it keep crashing

[@pandajfry]

What is a possible reason "split to parts" would be grayed out as in even in the brush> clip brush modifiers menu is unselectable when the knife (curve and lasso) active? Yes, I have the latest 2024 downloaded a few min ago as of typing this.

[@pavlosama2222]

aka abnormal termination brush

[@Aslan117]

So that's it? Those are new things in Zbrush 2024? 😅 Please wake me up when it will be GPU based or something else that improve really something

[@rastisawstepaniuk9569]

where can I find buttom "Toggle Mask by polygroups"?

[@phantomapprentice6749]

Did anyone make this feature as a Zscript for 2023? I don't really want to pay for 2024 after paying a small fortune for a perpetual license

[@thelightsarebroken]

It still crashes, 2024.01, why cant they fix this?? Its such a crucial tool and its so unreliable on any sort of geo beyond extremely simple geo

[@zbrush2928]

囧
