Tile Forge - Zbrush plugin for creating tiling textures

Tile Forge is a ZBrush plugin that gives you the power to create, preview, and export tiling textures, all within ZBrush!

This plugin has everything you'll need to make tiles quickly and easily. Whether you are sculpting characters, texturing environments, or designing patterns, tiles can help you speed up your workflow and produce stunning art. I made Tile Forge to help speed up my own workflow and get more done in ZBrush. I hope it can help you too!

The ArrayMesh buttons allow you to sculpt freely without worrying about seams. The "Preview" and "Export" buttons allow you to test and export your textures without worrying about all the technical stuff like document settings, cameras, or materials. All rendering uses BPR, giving you full control over settings like shadows and ambient occlusion.

The general workflow using Tile Forge:

1. Create a mesh that tiles using either ArrayMesh or WrapMode
2. Preview your textures within ZBrush on a set of primitives
3. Export your textures from ZBrush to use however you want
