from Pixologic

"The ZPipeline guides written by industry artists guide the novice to advanced user in getting all their ZBrush-rich detail into their 3D animation package of choice."

Pixologic has released the first two in a series of pipeline guides detailing workflows between ZBrush and major 3D applications. The first two in this series are ZBrush to XSI by Greg Punchatz and ZBrush to Maya by Scott Spencer. The guides come in a over 30 pages a piece and cover in detail techniques and common pitfalls associated with moving meshes and maps between applications. The Maya guide covers the new 32bit floating point displacement option as well as using ZBrush to generate bump and diffuse maps based on your sculpted geometry. The XSI guide covers displacement workflow, shader setup, UV regions, render troubleshooting and more! Hopefully these will be a help to anyone integrating ZBrush into their exsisting workflow.

Nice ! I still can't bleive what this program has turned into. I recall the first time we all saw this at Siggraph and it just seemed like a goofy idea. Now its becoming a serious industy tool.
I love how the companys run and the people involved with it. Its such a fresh change from the way the bigger players have become over the last few years. Anyone remember when Alias felt like a company run by artists and people who felt like us? Yeah, I remeber that too. These new companys have that feel. The fact that this guide is downloadable for anyone is a sure sign that these guys give a damn about the community as a whole. Not just lip service.

Man I am in total agreement on that. The first version I overlooked thinking it was like Amorphium...Then I saw what Dave Cardwell was doing with 2.0 beta... woah
You are right. Pixologic is the most accessable company I have had the pleasure to work with. The whole team is down to earth and so passionate about their product. Even the main forum mod is seen posting answers on zbrushcentral at odd hours on the weekend! They truly are an artist's company : )

Now that I've begun to get the workflow of Zbrush, and that I'm involved with the community, Zbrush went from "meh" to Awesome!
