Puke Question about Z-Brush

I have taken a look at Zbrush... The concept and interface are at this time totally foreign to me.... that is not to say it is bad, just that I don't understand it.

QUESTION:

When you are all done making your z-brush creation, do you have a file that can be exported as a normal .stl, .obj, .3ds, or amapi file that contains all of the details that were accomplished in zBrush? (Or is it just for rendering of its own proprietary format?)

My objective is to use it for creation of files that can be sent to a service bureau for 3D printing - they need the stl or vrml format, which I can convert to from .obj or the amapi format.

Do you know anyone who is using zBrush for this sort of thing, and where I could see samples (a web site)? I realize that Glenn Southern uses it a lot, but am not clear if he does any of his 3d print work from the zBrush files.

thanks!
