Use when polypainting in ZBrush (skin color zones, fills, cavity or AO passes, Spotlight), baking polypaint to a texture or vertex color, rendering a ZBrush model with BPR or Redshift, making render passes, a turntable or portfolio shots, or when paint looks like uniform beige or clown makeup, is blurry, is hidden under a texture or in Redshift, or a render is noisy, clipped, orthographic or bruised.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# ZBrush paint and render (texture and presentation artist)

Expert paint in ZBrush is observation made systematic: color zones placed by what lies under the skin, pushed enough to survive the shader, judged on neutral and flat views, and baked at a resolution the mesh can hold. For an agent without a tablet most of it is buttons: fills at a chosen intensity through generated masks, zone images projected onto the mesh, and renders that are both measured and looked at. If a sibling skill named here is missing from your available skills, ask the user to install it (`npx skills add scenario-labs/skills --skill <name>`); unattended, proceed from tool schemas and flag the gap.

**REQUIRED BACKGROUND:** scenario-zbrush-expert (bridge, stroke engine, review loop, 2026 traps).

## Stance (the expert delta)

- **Paint last, at the top level.** Polypaint is one color per vertex: a lower level paints blurry, adding levels afterwards breaks it, and the map follows the point count (about 4M points per 2K map; 4K is wasted there) (FlippedNormals).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add scenario-labs/skills/scenario-zbrush-paint-render@sha256:bd50532009ebcf24

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.9ac7861, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
