do you have a zbrush subdiv model? bake a non tangent vector displacement map (tangents are buggy with cycles) with flip and switch 27 and apply it with a vector displacement node and adaptive subdivision with cycles - can’t get easier than that

FTFY… 
I think he’s talking about Zbrush’s Vector Displacement Mesh…

This reminds me I’ll soon have to make my monthly statement of returning to ZBrush again, only to find out I miss Blender and you guys too much. 
you don’t have to return just use the best parts of both programs

That’s what hurts me . Some of the function that add Pablo to the review are reviewed by 2 reviewer. When 1 is accepted , the second pulls and pulls. For example. https://developer.blender.org/D6705 . Although they write that it is ready to fill.Well, I think that because of 2 reviewer , he does not fill it.
Some patches are meant to die…
But this committ is useful…

Pablo clearly says in his last comment why he hasn’t applied that patch yet.
Clearly. I am Read through.
It just got committed a few minutes ago.

With the introduction of Face Sets i saw an issue in the drawing of wireframes, if you have face sets,wireframes and mask all enabled you get a mixed black & white wireframes, I had to put mask opacity to 0.4 but still you get few dashed dots.
I hope they take a look at this and make masking not affect the wireframes drawing.

Would you be so kind and give me a hint on how to make the face sets visible in the viewport? 
Cant seem to find the right option.
Edit: Nvm, Im blind. 
Its in the Overlay menu.

This is definitely something I’ve been eagerly awaiting since the first time Face Sets were mentioned.
Next step: an easy extrude function for isolated Face Sets.

Don’t get me started… 
Everytime I look at those Face Sets, I’m instantly thinking on Panel Loops, GroupsLoops, Crease, a mini ZModeler brush with at least Extrude/QMesh/Bevel/Inset/and Insert Edge Loops…
I’d also love to have Auto Groups and Group by Normals functionality… and as a bonus: UV unwrap based on Face Sets (UVMaster style)…

I think those might come later on… this task mentions (by loose parts, by UV island, by materials…).
Don’t forget Zbrush has tons of features added over the years while Blender has only Pablo working tirelessly to add the most important ones…if he can get more help that would speed the developement a lot.

It looks like white is due to cavity at same location than wireframe.
It looks like object color used by cavity is not affected by color of face sets.
Easy. Just isolate the set in Sculpt Mode and go to Edit Mode. Then select all the faces and extrude.

I don’t understand what you mean by cavity, is it the overlay option or the form of the mesh? because it’s the same on flat surfaces.
