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! |
Yes, Ken Brilliant, he has written numerous tutorials on Zbrush and also used some Amapi and Lightwave a lot. He's also the author of two books, Modeling Digital Dinosaurs and Building a Digital Human.

I would think he probably knows enough to be able to help or do some consulting.
