Continuing the roadmap to ZBrush 2.5, Pixologic have announced the release of a new plug-in, ZApp Link.
ZApp Link is a free plug-in that extends and enhances ZBrushs texturing and illustration capabilities by automating the connection with programs such as Photoshop, Painter and Illustrator.
Kris Kosta, CG artist at Café FX, said, ZApp Link is a no limits texturing experience. It is an easy-to-use tool that gives you access to the best of both worlds and allows you to take full advantage of all of Photoshops image editing tools.
Jaime Labelle, gm of Pixologic Inc., added, By building a bridge from ZBrush to other programs that artists are already familiar with we are extending ZBrushs functionality while at the same time building an environment for the artist that is both familiar and exciting.
ZBrush retails for $489 and can be purchased online at ZBrush.com.
