I just created a Discord server (which I used to teach 3D courses), but now I'm gonna use to it to share my knowledge, reference videos and pictures regarding general anatomy, ZBrush sculpting, modeling and other 3D-related stuff.
You can also send my questions to ask about 3D characters, game, modeling, sculpting, 3D printing... and I will try to answer everything in my free time.
Lastly, this is where I stream my sculpting/drawing sessions. I hope this will encourage me as a lazy ass sculptor; and encourage you guys to learn and make amazing 3D characters.
I just updated my Realtime Viewport Anti-Aliasing script to version 1.3 to support hi-res monitors with Windows Scaling on.
Anyone who bought the script will receive this update for FREE.
The issue is I used to use a 34" ultrawide monitor, and when I switched to my laptop with an UHD 17" screen, I had to turn on Windows Scaling to effectively see those tiny things. However, v1.2 script didn't work as intended, it would turn on AA 2 times when it supposed to turn it off.
I fixed it in this v1.3 update.
Compare this script to others you find on the internet? You only need ONE button to turn it on/off while preserving model position on the canvas. Voila!
For anyone who had scaling issues with my Facial Hair Tool, here's a good news: I just updated the tool to v2.0, now supports real-world scaling AND 4k texture maps (2k in previous version).
If you purchased the tool, it's a FREE update. You can go to where you purchased (ArtStation, Gumroad, FlippedNormals...) and download it.
Have fun!

Regarding 1-star reviews, I acknowledged it and there are some people who had the issues as stated above. But, it's less than 10 on thousands purchases and you know, people tends to leave bad review when things turned sideway.
So if you purchased my tools and liked it, please leave a review. I'm appreciated.
CHANGELOG: v1.1: Toggling AA will never move or zoom into your mesh, maintaining the original position on the canvas. v1.2: Combine two macros into a single button. Easy On/Off.
Poligone here. Today I want to show you two useful macros that I've made and been using for a while.
Poligone - ZBrush Realtime Viewport Anti-Aliasing
These macros will enable/disable AA for better real-time rendering, especially for quick viewport screenshots. Works best for hair and thin objects. Note that enabling AA will heavily affect ZBrush performance so don't use it when sculpting.
ZBrush default subdivisions will smooth out your mesh (which led to detail loss), and shrink your mesh (especialy at the edge) so your low-res and hi-res mesh won't match.
This macro will let you subdivide your ZBrush mesh the alternative way which will reduce shrinkage and preserve details of your mesh.
It is good for organic meshes such as humanoid and creatures (soft edges), and will produce artifacts if used on hard-surface meshes. Use with caution.
Yeah, finally I decided to create my Twitter account after years of denying it. Give me a follow or leave your Twitter link here so I can follow you guys!
I hope it makes it easier for you to read my tutorials.

So one more thing.
I've been thinking about this for a while and I think it's time to let you know: I will launch my Patreon page, so that you can pay a small amount of monthly fee to access to my cool stuff or promotion codes.
On this Patreon page, I will make 3D Prints models of Pop culture collectibles, Likeness heads of celebrities & Original designs (Statues, Wacom pen holders, Keycaps, Masks, Jewelries...) This is just my plan but it will mostly depend on you, my future supporters. If you have anything that you like & want me to create, or any suggestion to tier price, or tier rewards, let me know. You can contact me via links below, don't hesitate.
I ran a quick poll and this is what some of my followers want:
