ZBrush Tip: Maximizing Animation Workflow with ZBrush Timeline and NOVEDGE Resources

Harnessing the power of the Timeline in ZBrush can significantly enhance your animation workflow. Here's how to make the most of this feature:

• Setting Up Keyframes: Begin by establishing keyframes at critical points in your animation. This allows you to define the start and end positions of your transformations, ensuring smooth transitions.
• Animating Subtools: Utilize the Timeline to animate individual subtools. This is particularly useful for complex models where different parts need to move independently.
• Using Morph Targets: Create morph targets to capture specific states of your model. These can be interpolated over time to achieve detailed animations.
• Playback Controls: Take advantage of the playback controls to preview your animations in real-time. This helps in identifying and refining any awkward movements.
• Frame Management: Organize your frames efficiently by labeling and grouping them. This makes navigating through your animation sequence more intuitive.
• Exporting Animations: Once your animation is complete, export it using ZBrush’s compatible formats. This ensures seamless integration with other software like NOVEDGE’s suite of tools.
