First ZBrush body sculpt

Pixel_Arbiter · Sep 2016

I just got ZBrush a couple days ago and I'm really enjoying it. Other than the free trial and a tiny bit of Sculptris a few years ago, I haven't really touched a modelling program since 3DS Max in the late 90s. I got a few skull and noggin test sculpts out of the way and then started my first ever full body sculpt yesterday.

This is about 10 hrs of work with ~700k total points. I've got an anatomical encyclopedia on hand, but I've been staring at my work just long enough to start getting blinds spots. The posture probably isn't perfect, and the arms' scale might need a bit of tweaking, but other than that I'm not sure what to improve. Looking for any criticism that will come my way, though I'm mostly concerned about the overall form before I start detailing the hands and feet and insert a head.

Lol, it reminds me of my first sculpture.

I think it looks good, as someone who only really makes inorganic sculpts, you're already better than me

Here's an update. I fixed the pose, smoothed out the leg muscles, made some tiny arm proportion tweaks here and there, and made the shoulder blades less unnecessarily "active."

I'm currently trying to figure out how I want to separate the fingers and toes. It feels like I'm overlooking something obvious to make it easy, but there's a lot of slice and brush tools I haven't gotten into yet.

Your best bet at this point is probably to remove the webbed fingers, make yourself some individual ones and then use dynamesh to weld them onto the hand.

I'd suggest your first step should be switching to a better shader - Red Wax isn't great for general sculpting.
