it can be installed as a plugin in ZBrush, click the button to jump to the Sculptok website, upload the image you want to create, and download the desired depth map or STL model based on the 3D preview effect.
Now, let’s do it.
Step1: Download the file we uploaded in Google Drive
You can click here to enter our Google Drive and download the plugin file we shared:ZBrush plugin address
eg:Remember to download both files! A folder and a file with the zsc suffix
Step2: Put it in the ZBrush plugin path
Step3: Click on the sculptok logo
Clicking on the logo will take you to the official website of Sculptok, where you can register and log in. Users can use the website to make depthmap images of any picture and at the same time get the STL file of Bas-Relief
Step4: Take a picture
It's currently the Christmas holiday season, so let's find a colorful picture of Santa Claus on the internet and upload it to have a try.
Step5: Turn to Depth Map
Depth maps are the foundation of 3D models, as they show the depth of the image, thus converting a 2D image into a 3D relief image. A professional AI site SculptOK can do this quickly.
Let’s go to SculptOK and login. Once we get to the generation page, we need to do the following three steps：
Upload image
choose Type of image you uploaded. In this case, we choose color image
click draw
Step6: 3D Performance
Once the depth map has been drawn, we can preview its 3D performance by clicking on the 3D Preview button. If we feel satisfied, we can also click on the no watermark preview button to consume some credits and view the no watermark HD 3d model!
At the end, I will show you the depth map and 3D model image drawing in SculptOK. Other than refrigerator magnets, all kinds of Artistic products can be created by similar method. I hope SculptOK can help make your work more efficient!
Step7: Download stl file in 3D preview
For users who need to use 3D model files in stl format, you can click download in the upper right corner
Step8: Click to upload Image
Download the satisfactory depthmap obtained in STEP6, click on the box selected in the image below, and select the depthmap you just downloaded. The relief model can be automatically generated
Step9: Click Grab Color
Click on Grab Color, select the original color image you used to create the DepthMap, and you'll be pleasantly surprised to find that your bas-relief model has been pasted with a color map.
Step10: Click Smooth
For users who need to use CNC machines or laser engraving, adding some smoothness to the model can be very effective in reducing the noise of the item after it is produced.
