Quote - Mari is not from zbrush.Mari is only a texturing painting program.

did Pixologic realesed any info about texturing in Z4?

Yes, I know that, as I was only referring to how ZB 4 will be re-doing their texturing process. No "official" details yet, but I am working with someone that is a master ZB artist and they work with Pixologic very closely. He was even offered a job of writing a detailed ZB learning book, such as the "Missing Manual" guides, which is BADLY needed for all 3D artists starting out. All I know is from the way the programmers have talked with some of their instructors is it will be one of, if not the best methods of texturing, including "layered texturing" processes.ZB knows full well about Mari and is going to come out with something truly great from what I am hearing, with their 10th anniversary.

In short, I can not say much, only that ZB 4 is going to be quite impressive. If you think Mari will be good wait until then and see how they stack up. I will be working with him learning this process in ZB 4 when it is finished.
