Would I be able to do the batman tutorial with ZbrushCore instead of the full zbrush? I know zBrushCore doesn't support GoZ for import / export. Will OBJ import / export be OK?

I don't do a lot of sculpting so wouldn't buy the full version of zbrush, but I'm getting a Wacom Intuos 4 and might as well get the version that ships with zbc.

Well batman the body is coming out which is zbrush by Jason and Jays the man when it comes to that kind of thing. He's worked on some of the more impressive digital doubles that have been in A list movies of late. Really can't praise his work enough.

A new site will be along in a while and i know i keep saying it but it's 3am right now and i'm still at work user added image

I should be finished this week. It will give you some more options when it comes to our content and for now i'll leave it at that.

sorry I just saw this thread. Yeah as David said, OBJs are fine, industry standard as always.

Ive never seen goZ used at a company yet, not once, thats Includes Framestore, ILM and Digital Domain. Keeping it simple is always the best bet.

cheers
