I don't use ZBrush much nowadays, and I still have its working pre-Maxon WinePrefix installed with Lutris, so I don't have the incentive to do what you're asking for. In fact, since the acquisition, I'm moving away from ZBrush in favor of other software. However, as I'm in the process of s-l-o-w-l-y migrating from Lutris to Bottles, I don't exclude the possibility of creating a ZBrush Bottles installer sometime in the future, but if it ever happens, it would be only for the most recent Pixologic version.

But to be frank, I don't see the point of doing it. The working Wine version along with its dependencies are already listed in the YAML file. Anyone can read it and manually install the required Wine version with Bottles, along with dependencies, and enjoy ZBrush forever. Or until Maxon shuts down license servers, forcing us to file a class action lawsuit...

oh im curious what u have gone with been dealing with sculpting performance issues in blender

ajz3d commented 5 days ago

I'm not a triple-A sculpting master, so Blender or 3D Coat for sculpting, and Houdini for procedural or repetitive parts of the asset, usually satisfy my needs. I leave micro-detailing to procedural textures.
