ZBrush

What works

Everything I've tried worked:

• Including default plugins like decimation master and multimap exporter.
• Pressure sensitivity works too.

What does not

• Lightbox does not show some files. 
• Installing 3rd party plugins like ZWrap does not work. It won't locate Zbrush.

Workarounds

You need to install these winetricks verbs:

winetricks corefonts mfc42 vcrun6 vcrun2008 vcrun2010 vcrun2013 comctl3

Set your WINEPREFIX to Windows 10 compatibility:

winetricks win10

You also need to have these DLL overrides set :

wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v atl120 /t REG_SZ /d 'native,builtin' /f
wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v comctl32 /t REG_SZ /d 'native,builtin' /f
wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v comdlg32 /t REG_SZ /d 'native,builtin' /f
wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v mfc42 /t REG_SZ /d 'native' /f
wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v mfc42u /t REG_SZ /d 'native' /f
wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v msvcp120 /t REG_SZ /d 'native,builtin' /f
wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v msvcr100 /t REG_SZ /d 'native,builtin' /f
wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v msvcr120 /t REG_SZ /d 'native,builtin' /f
wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v msvcr90 /t REG_SZ /d 'native,builtin' /f
wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v vcomp120 /t REG_SZ /d 'native,builtin' /f
wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v api-ms-win-downlevel-normaliz-l1-1-0 /t REG_SZ /d 'native,builtin' /f
wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v api-ms-win-downlevel-shlwapi-l1-1-0 /t REG_SZ /d 'native,builtin' /f
wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v api-ms-win-downlevel-user32-l1-1-0 /t REG_SZ /d 'native,builtin' /f
wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v gdiplus /t REG_SZ /d 'native,builtin' /f
wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v msvcrt /t REG_SZ /d 'native,builtin' /f
wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v normaliz /t REG_SZ /d 'native,builtin' /f
wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v ole32 /t REG_SZ /d 'native,builtin' /f
wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v rpcrt4 /t REG_SZ /d 'native,builtin' /f
wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v shlwapi /t REG_SZ /d 'native,builtin' /f
wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v vcomp90 /t REG_SZ /d 'native,builtin' /f

Now, you can run ZBrush setup executable. It may complain about the vcruntime version which you have already installed. Just ignore this warning.

ZBrush should start without issue.

What was not tested

Additional Comments

Since version 4R8 of ZBrush, Pixologic stop supporting 32 bit version so there is no 32 bit version of ZBrush 2018. You need 64-bit SysWow64 Wine and a 64-bit WINEPREFIX.

You should configure your WINEPREFIX before installing ZBrush.
