Discover iMage3D in ZBrushCoreMini: images that store 3D models
The digital revolution in 3D modeling has arrived with a feature that seems like technological magic. ZBrushCoreMini incorporates iMage3D, an innovative tool that transforms your three-dimensional creations into conventional image files 🪄
What makes iMage3D special?
This exclusive technology allows storing complete models in animated GIF formats or static PNGs. At first glance, they are normal two-dimensional images, but they hide a three-dimensional secret that only ZBrush can decipher. The complete geometry, sculpting details, and all model information are preserved intact within the image file.
Main advantages of iMage3D:- Universal compatibility: You can share your models through any platform that accepts images, from social networks to instant messaging apps
- Lightweight files: Avoid sending heavy specialized 3D files that require specific software to view
- Dual functionality: Recipients immediately see the image in any viewer, and if they have ZBrushCoreMini, they access the complete 3D model
Imagine sending your latest 3D sculpture via WhatsApp as a simple meme, but the recipient can explore it in all dimensions as if it were digital magic
How it works and technical requirements
The usage process is surprisingly simple: you export your model by selecting the iMage3D option and choose between animated GIF or static PNG format. The three-dimensional essence is perfectly maintained while creating a universally compatible image file.
Important compatibility aspects:- ZBrush ecosystem: The technology works exclusively within the ZBrush environment, requiring ZBrushCoreMini or compatible versions to recover the 3D model
- Complete recovery: When opening the file in the appropriate software, you get the original three-dimensional model with all its geometry and details preserved
- Simplified distribution: Ideal for showing project progress, sharing work with clients, or collaborating with other artists without technical complications
The future of 3D sharing
This innovative technology redefines how we share three-dimensional content, eliminating technical barriers and making the process accessible to everyone. The creative and practical possibilities are so vast that it truly seems like future technology available today. The ability to embed complete 3D models in standard image formats opens up a world of opportunities for digital artists 🎨
