In this 4 Chapter series, we look at NoiseMaker. We explore many of its functions and ways that it can be used effectively, as well as developing a deeper understanding of the available options and settings within ZBrush 4R4 and R5.

In Chapter 1, we start by creating the base mesh of our concrete slab so we can use it to demonstrate some of the functions that NoiseMaker has to offer. We use a Sphere as our base before applying DynaMesh and ClipCurve Brush.

In Chapter 2, we explore NoiseMaker and its basic functionality. We look at the NoiseMaker Plug-in. We learn how to apply the noise to our mesh as well as taking a closer look at ‘Magnify By Mask’ and ‘Strength By Mask’, ‘ColorBlend’ and the ‘Alpha’ button.

In Chapter 3, we expand on what we learned in the previous tutorial and focus on UV’s within NoiseMaker. We learn how to recreate Subdivision levels on a DynaMesh model as well as explore some of the features that UV Master has to offer in conjunction with NoiseMaker.

In Chapter 4, we look at some of the problems you may encounter when using NoiseMaker, such as inflating or a ballooning effect when applying noise to a model as well as overlapping edges. We look at ‘Layers’ and ‘Morph Target’ as potential solutions before exploring the Morph Brush.
