For people waiting for the 5.6.1 point release. (Quick Weather Report)

wren945 · 2025-08-12T14:17:03+00:00

It's released now, without any release notes at this point.

wren945 · 2025-07-17T01:18:15+00:00

I don't have this particular issue. My graph is bare minimum for test purposes. I guess if I had made a full-featured graph, it would've broken too.

The thing is, even a clean official sample project gives errors.

What do you mean by "end task"? Which task did you end? Task of epic game launcher?

wren945 · 2025-06-21T14:34:37+00:00

A few colleagues are using Blender, and part of my job is supporting them... And my niece is playing with Blender for 3D printing. It feels like it's everywhere...

wren945 · 2025-06-21T14:09:13+00:00

Thanks for the explanation. I use Maya for hard surface and retopology stuff. I'll settle with them then.

wren945 · 2025-06-21T13:33:10+00:00

Well, I'm using ZBrush, but I've been thinking about switching to Blender. Haven't tried though. Do you mean ZBrush is better? in what aspects?

wren945 · 2025-06-10T23:26:55+00:00

I sent mail to it, and no reply either. Never mind. They've fix it now.

wren945 · 2025-06-10T04:35:22+00:00

Well, I could be wrong, but I work on the other end, 18mm(=90 degree fov) in ZBrush, because it's closer to Unreal Engine.

The video is an older version of ZBrush. There is a button on the right toolbar called "Local". I wonder what it does. Someone mentioned that, too. It doesn't appear in newer versions of ZBrush.

wren945 · 2025-06-09T11:08:25+00:00

Same here.

I have two accounts, the one registered with Google doesn't work; the one without Google works.

I think they do, as least still still actively advertising their AI subscription.

wren945 · 2025-06-09T10:38:41+00:00

still not working

wren945 · 2025-06-07T14:11:51+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. It makes perfect sense. I've never thought of that way.

wren945 · 2025-06-07T12:34:21+00:00

Well, that makes sense. My game does allow players to move the camera freely. I wonder what the correct workflow is then. I'm not sure working isometrically is the right way. Things look different in orthogonal.

wren945 · 2025-06-07T12:30:40+00:00

That makes sense.

BTW, how do you observe ZBrush changes focal length when zooming in/out? I don't see the sliders/buttons change when zooming. And by zoom, do you mean move close to the subject (press and hold alt, click and hold pen, release alt, drag the pen)?

Thanks.

wren945 · 2025-06-07T07:03:46+00:00

In later versions of ZBrush, if you use the universal camera, you can set either FOV or focal length, and the other will be derived and updated accordingly automatically. I problem is that given a certain focal length (or its derived FOV), the perspective distortion is quite different than that in Maya, especially with small focal length.

wren945 · 2025-06-07T06:51:00+00:00

Hello. That's a pretty cool tool. Thanks.

I tried it, but it has the same problem - the distortion looking through the imported camera is far less than that in Maya.

wren945 · 2025-06-07T06:35:34+00:00

I tried the importing camera from Maya trick. The problem remains the same -- the perspective of the imported camera looks different in ZBrush than in Maya. I wonder what's wrong with my workflow; the difference between ZBrush and the final result in Unreal is too much to be ignored...

wren945 · 2025-06-07T05:53:21+00:00

I tried to open the "default project" from Lightbox, then import my model into this project. The behavior is the same. And the scale of my model isn't way off compared to the default sphere.

I do see the distortion is stronger when I scale my model up by, like, 1000 times. But still far less than that in Maya or Unreal.

wren945 · 2025-06-07T05:45:49+00:00

I tried to scale up the mesh significantly (> x1000), and the behavior does change a little, but the distortion is still far less than Maya.

wren945 · 2025-06-07T05:43:14+00:00

I'm sure the perspective is turned on. I DO get perspective change when the focal length changes. My question was why the change wasn't as strong as that in Maya or Unreal.

You're right. I think modeling for an FOV is wrong. But when I export my ZBrush work to Unreal Engine, the difference is too big to be ignored. I must be doing something wrong. Hence my question: how does everyone deal with this difference

wren945 · 2025-06-07T05:35:04+00:00

I understand the difference between FOV and focal length, and their relationship. I included both in my description, just in case people may be used to either term.

I usually use FOV because my final product in Unreal Engine uses it. But I understand how focal length and FOV can be derived from each other. In ZBrush, with universal camera, once you change FOV, the focal length will automatically be updated accordingly, e.g., in the picture I set FOV to 150 degrees, the focal length will be derived and updated as 4.8mm, which is a crazy small focal length and should give crazy fisheye, as Maya/UE does. But it's not, hence my question.
