50 Ornament Brush and 3D Models — VOL 10

Ornament takes the longest to model and shows the most when it is missing. Volume 10 of the ornament series covers fifty designs and delivers each one two ways — as a 4K alpha you can drag or stamp onto a surface, and as highpoly geometry you can place, scale and bake from.

What you get

• ✓50 ornament alpha brushes
• ✓Every alpha at 4K, 4096 x 4096, and 16 bit
• ✓Highpoly 3D models as OBJ, MAX and Blender files
• ✓An SBSAR, for driving the set from inside Substance
• ✓ZBrush brush, PSD, PNG and TIF versions of the whole set
• ✓JPEG previews of every design

The alphas work anywhere a program reads a height map. ZBrush loads them as brushes and cuts real depth into a surface; Substance Painter takes them in the height channel of a fill layer or in the stencil slot for hand placement; Photoshop, Quixel DDO and NDO read the same files. Anything else that accepts alphas — 3D-Coat, Cinema 4D, Blender — will take them as they are.

The models are there for the cases an alpha cannot cover. An alpha is flat by definition: it can only push a surface along its normal, so a design with an undercut, a raised boss or a piece standing proud of its background loses its silhouette the moment you stamp it. Dropping the highpoly mesh in instead keeps that profile, and because it is highpoly it bakes down cleanly to a game-resolution plane.

The series shares one file layout from the early Brush Tools volumes onward, so a library built up across several volumes stays a single library rather than a folder of exceptions.
