GN ZBrush/Maya Import/Export Tool
Description
The GN ZBrush/Maya Import/Export Tool is a script package to quickly import and export files in ZBrush and Maya.
This tool will give you the ability to quickly switch between Maya and ZBrush, importing and exporting multiple objects at once and doing so at a much faster speed than ZBrush plugin GoZ which tends to be slow and unreliable, especially when working with a large number of objects. This tool also offers a couple of different options and allows to import/export in both MayaAscii and OBJ file format which support different features such as creases, polygroups and vertex color.
Showcase
For an overview of this tool, check out my video demonstration on Vimeo:
https://vimeo.com/442181931
Compatibility
Originally created with Maya 2019. From release 2.70 and onwards, I've decided that I will no longer support version of Maya older than 2022. You can still download any release prior to this one if you want to use it with a version older than that.
As for ZBrush, this tool should be compatible with any version from 2021 and up.
Also note that this tool will only work on a PC with Windows OS.

Interior Models VOL1,VOL3+(Curtains) +4000 Models
A huge collection of 3D interior models.
In total there are 4023 Models.
The models are organized into categories (it took me time to do so because they come originally uncategorized)
Very important:
In order to use the library you need Kitops addon (free or paid versions)
I will try to use the True Assets addon to make a library that is compatible with the Asset Browser.
I am aiming to purchase more volumes in future, so this library will be updated constantly (I hope so 🙂)
The categorization is a personal effort so if you notice any inconsistencies please let me know so I can correct it
or you can just do it by yourself as it requires just transfering the blend file and the correspondant thumbnail to the proper category.
Enjoy
