Has anyone created skins on zbrush?

[AmyRose Starfall]

I just got zbrush reccently, but i'm having some trouble using the Zproject tool, Ik there are tutorials out there but it just won't work. Can  you polypaint and use reference images as well? and how would you be able to export your textures to photoshop?

I used the zapplink plugin or lightbox, better control over where you are placing the texture than zproject

ok where do you download it from?

[Siddean Munro]

Zapplink is available on the pixologic plugins page, and lightbox is built into the Zbrush 4 toolset, you need to search google and youtube for tutorials on how to use them, it's not something that can really be taught in a few sentences in a forum post.
