Zbrush- GOZ not working !?
I was able to send from DAZ to Zbrush but when I tried to send it back using the goz button nothing was showing. I have a Mac so what is the problem here ?

Windows Tablet or iPad for ZBrush?
With ZBrush now on both iPad, which has better experience? Windows tablet or ipad? I remember when a Windows tablet was seen as clunky for ZBrush, needing a keyboard for shortcuts. But on the iPad, ZBrush feels more streamlined and portable. Still, a Windows tablet runs other essential software that iPad can’t.
If you’ve used both, what’s your experience? Does the flexibility of a Windows tablet outweigh the smoother iPad interface?

What breakdown do you have when keeping layers separate?
Hi, I'm a complete newcomer so apologies. However, my goal would be to create a riggeable character from scratch. Let's say a basic A-Pose with some basic clothes.
Should I ever merge all of the components together, or is it best to keep it separate?
If separate: Is there a typical pattern you follow when keeping things separate? For instance, are the eyeball spheres kept separate? The hair?

My Stupid ass got disqualified from an art contest (still S/o Abraham Leal for making it happen). I was genuinely happy with the result tho, so wanted to share it. Good luck to everybody else being smart enough to follow rules. Saw some very amazing stuff during the last weeks cudos to you guys :)

iPad UI on Desktop
I have been struggling with getting into Zbrush on the desktop for years, but i purchased this (dang expensive) iPad and the UI was so natural i immediately started making progress.
Is there any setting, tool, etc that i can use to have the same UI on the desktop version?

is it possible to decimate HD geometry?
I have been sculpting for a while, but never really needed to use Geometry HD, mostly baker sculpts for games, but I need some extra detail that I can't get any other way now, so, is it possible to decimate the final result so I can just export it to Substance? or is there any other pipeline?

How much would you charge for these models? Need advice on pricing.
Actually my question is a peculiar one. I have been sculpting models on commission for 3D printing for a long time (at least 5 years), but I am thinking about reviewing what I charge. Most of the clients are ready to pay for good quality, but sometimes I think I really don't value my work enough. For example:
- For the 3D printable ready figurine I made almost 8 months ago I charged 190$ (Fiverr charges me 20% of an order, so 190-20% = 152$ was my profit). I have spent around 14-18 hours on the model together with reviews, adjustments and etc.
- For the man frozen in carbonite that I worked on about 4 years ago (Han Solo from Star Wars, but slightly adjusted), I charged 130$ ( 130$-20% = 104$ my profit) and spent about 12-14 hours again with adjustments and etc.
So, I would like to get any advice on pricing and if it is a good idea to leave Fiverr. Competition is high, prices are low, so I must keep my prices at the same level or slightly higher as an outcome of quality at least to get some orders. I have not been getting the same amount of orders as I used to get from 1 to 4 years ago.

What's the difference between Morph Targets and Layers?
I've been using both for a while and I love them, but I can't help but notice how they both seem to do the exact same thing. The only difference as far as I can see is that morph targets can be used with the morph brush and layers can be divided into different ones and individually tweaked. Is that all?

What tool is this? How to have curves project on flat topology
What tool is this within (I assume) the Zmodeler brush that allows you to have pins that projects a curve on flat angular topology? This is driving me nuts, and he doesn't explain in the video. Please help! TY

Mesh looks distorted and pixelated after importing sculpt from ZBrush to Blender (.fbx)
Hey everyone, I’m having an issue when I import my sculpting from ZBrush to Blender using the FBX format. The model retains its overall shape, but the surface appears distorted, with a pixelated or grid-like glitch effect. Has anyone experienced this issue before? I'd really appreciate any advice! Thanks.

Does anyone know a good resource for how to cut up models in the style of an anime garage kit?
Just an example image of what I'm talking about https://gamerabaenre.com/images/nier_2b_2022_prog%20001_JPG.jpg

Humanoid Dragon Body Scale (WIP)
Hello friends, how are you all? I hope everything is fine. So, the thing is, I've created a new character—a humanoid dragon—and I need to add scales on its back and body. But I'm having trouble figuring out how to do it or what kind of scales to add, as I can't find any anatomically accurate references. If anyone knows, please let me know; I really need it. Thank you!
