Why this pack?
FiberMesh is an awesome feature in ZBrush that lets you create hair, fur and all sorts of fiber effects with just a few clicks. Creating the fibers is easy… but when it comes to grooming the fibers, the process can be a little frustrating.
The brushes in this FiberMesh grooming kit, have been tweaked and refined over the years to simplify the FiberMesh workflow and give you control over the direction and flow of the Fibers!
Overall… making the grooming process more enjoyable and intuitive.
Some examples
Below are some examples showing the results of combining a few brushes from the FiberMesh Grooming kit over a ZBrush FibrMesh (the colour/texture is a quick Polypaint pass over the plane that the fibers are growing from).
The ZBrush Projects for all the examples below are included as BONUS material with the download of the Grooming Kit
Resource insights
The FiberMesh Grooming Kit comes with 26 brushes organized in 4 categories: 1. Essentials, 2. Edits, 3. Refinements, 4. Fure and Short hair. A brush from the essential group is ideal to give shape to the hair and determine the flow of the fibers, while a brush from the refinements group, it’s more suitable to personalise the look of the fiberMesh and add randomness and variation to the fibers.
