Learning Zbrush - Begginer

Mr Significant

Hi guys! Some time ago, i started to learn ZBrush. Could you say something about my work? any help is appreciated



PS. Sorry for my english

PS 2. If it's wrong forum, please move it to the right forum.

low odor

Good start. I think the overall large noise is making it a bit mushy..and yeah..weathered rock can be mushy, but adding some variation(and by variation, I mean getting rid of the lumpiness and concentrating on the planes of the shape) to the overall noise frequency would help it lose the straight out of the microwave look

Some cool ref:

Mr Significant

You mean i have to increase of intensity of the noise of my stone stairs?

You have what appears to be a general noise treatment run on the entire mesh making it look soft and blobby. Removing that and focusing on the shapes of the stones and putting in some more larger cuts would give it a better shape.

Think less about micro detail and more about macro shapes ... get the large details and shapes down first before worrying about small noise.

Mr Significant

So I made something like this, and I'm not happy with the result:



I don't have any idea on how to do that more rough.

Let me say to you, how I made this sculpt. You can say, what I'm doing wrong:

1. Base mesh in 3D Max.
2. Adding geometry in Zbrush ( ~2 mln poly/verts )
3. Trim dynamic brush on edges.
4. Clay Tubes brush, big intensity, big size, for biggest damage: rough sculpt ( I don't know how to say that )
5. Clay Tubes brush, low intensity, small size, for making rough noise.
6. Clay Tubes brush, mid intensity, mid size, changing from ZSub to ZAdd, and now I'm making basic shape on flat surface,
7. Trim Dynamic brush, high intensity, mid size, for "smoothen" sqare forms, created from Clay Tubes brush.
8. Clay Tubes brush, low intensity, small size, for making noise on surface.

I know, it's hard to read

I'm based on this tut:

Hi guys. Small update. I think it's better than before. I'm very happy with the result:

When looking at the stairs head on in the image you linked it looks really 'wavey', I'd use the hPolish brush a tad to level it a bit.

Mr Significant

Ok, done. Thanks Optinium.

I think, I'll leave it at that. I'm very, very happy with end result.

Mr Significant

Hi guys again. I've done some sculpts, isnpirated by one of the work on polycount:

3 crystals. It's look like a stone/rock but I can't catch any good material in Zbrush. It make me some time, to find a good shape's. I'm happy with the result of 3rd crystal:

Mr Significant

I'm working on wooden planks. I need some advice. That's what I want to create:

And this what I've got:

What do you guys think? I know, it isn't PRO, but I don't find any wooden sculpt tuts in Zbrush or Modo on YT. If you can, please tell me some technique about sculpt that kind of stuff. Thanks.

PS. Sorry for english.
