Default ZBrush - Any use in the 3d arch-viz field?

Hey guys,

I'm seriously looking at buying a copy of ZBrush 3. Work has kind of gone to a stand-still a bit, so I'm looking for ways to keep engaged and interested in CG art. I've long been a pen-and-ink artist...much better at that than CAD stuff. CAD is where I ended up though...just by chance of my gf's (at the time) brother having a CAD training company and needing a job after graduation.

I'll be using if basically for sculpting characters in my free time, but outside of say....modelling rocks and MAYBE things like rivers/rapids...I cant think of any arch-viz uses for the program.

Does anyone use Zbrush in any way for arch-viz here?

I wonder if maybe there's a market for custom organic models in arch-viz...

its very useful for painting disp and norm maps for complex furniture - think folds in leather etc - or something like this (http://www.cgarchitect.com/vb/30684-...panel-max.html)

Hmn...rock ledges. That would have been GENIUS for the AVC competition.

Not only would it work to paint the disp maps for that furniture...but building the furniture itself too.

Thanks guys.

I just used it last night to do a bunch of rocks around a pool. No other way to do it in less than an hour.
