Hello polycounters. I am wondering if anyone may still have these matcaps. The reason I ask is because I was browsing through the 3D Total forums when I came across the "MATCAP LunchBox" thread which is 4 year old thread (yeah I know I'm 4 years late) and found some good zbrush matcaps. I wanted to download the matcap collection made by kazmamurat but the links are dead.
If anybody downloaded these matcaps in the past and would be willing to share them that would be great. Here is the link to the thread over at 3D Total that I was talking about: http://forums.3dtotal.com/showthread.php?t=59477. I've also attached some images that I saved as an image from that link so you guys can see what the matcaps look like. Thanks.

Some of these look great! Curious about them as well.

They should be in the Matcaps repository on Pixo's site, under downloads if I'm not mistaken. I could have sworn I saw these same exact Mat's.

I could have sworn I saw these same exact Mat's.Ace-Angel I have tried to look through some of the matcaps at the download center at Pixologic's website and I haven't found them. It's also hard to track down these specific matcaps collection on the Pixologic matcap download center when you can't make a search on the specific artist that made the matcaps and all you have is just a thumbnail. You would have to go through every single matcap library in the Pixologic website just to find the whole collection.
I think sathe aka Grant Warrick might have these since I think he started the whole thread back in 08'-09'.

Grant's pack is still on pixologic's site I think - or at least it looked like it was a couple of days ago when the work firewall blocked me from downloading it.
The last I heard Grant is training to become ironman and never wants to see a computer again (may or may not be a mild distortion of the truth)

I agree almighty gir. These matcaps really look good don't they. Sadly no one has come forward to share these matcaps. Someone must have them.
FYI I think these matcaps were made in Zbrush 3.1. Do you guys think it will hold up in Zbrush 4 or even 5 maybe? I mean they're at least 4 years old although I do have some matcaps that I have transferred over from Zbrush 3.1 to 4 and they seem to work but some have failed for some reason.

It also could be they don't work in the latest version of ZB, I had a nice SSS mat cap saved out recently which needed some adjustments with the latest version of ZB, and it still wouldn't look exactly the same.
Not to mention, back in the days of yore (or 3.1) I had made a small 'shiny' mat to fake specular painting on my mesh, and it looked pretty decent, but now, it looks pitch black, not matter how hard I push the shine values.
So yeah, there is that :/

Thanks Marine. I'll look through these to see if kazmamurat's matcaps are in there.
