Decimation, Poly reduction for Zbrush



o Install Decimation Master

  1. Quit ZBrush
  2. Extract the zip file to a temporary folder.
  3. Copy the DecimationMaster.zsc to your ZPlugs folder. With a default installation, it will be found at C:\Program Files\Pixologic\ZBrush3\ZStartup\ZPlugs.
  4. Also copy the DecimationMasterData folder and its contents to the ZPlugs folder.
  5. If needed, launch the vcredist_x86.exe (or vcredist_x64.exe for 64-bit versions of Windows). Both are included in the Troubleshoot Help folder of the plugin’s extracted archive.
  6. Launch ZBrush.
  7. Open the Zplugin palette. There you will find a Decimation menu, containing the new plugin’s features.
To Use Decimation Master
  1. Set your options if needed.
  2. If you have one ZTool, press the “Preprocess current” button to launch the optimization computing. If you want to optimize several SubTools at once, press the “Preprocess all” button.
  3. When it’s done, choose a quality and press “Decimate” or “Decimate all”, depending of the previous step.
