Hey everyone! First time poster here so forgive me if this is in the wrong section. I am currently working on a Zbrush head sculpt and i was wondering if yall think im going in the right direction. Right now im having a hard time pushing it farther and i had just a few questions for yall. What is a good way to go about…
I'm using a Wacom tablet to sculpt and picked the free hand stroke and a hard circular alpha for the brush. I seem to be having trouble with drawing speed. The top stroke was made fast and bottom one was made slowly. Not sure why, but making fast strokes produces this dotted/stamp effect. It's even more noticeable with a…
Hey, This is my first ZBrush project. I made it right after watching most of Lynda.com's essential tutorials. I've sculpted in Mudbox and sculptis before, but I saw the price of Zbrush Core, so I downloaded ZBrush Trial to see if I want to buy it. I tried to use basic brushes and kept my poly count low to simulate how I…
Trim Dynamic can get that effect. Keep in mind that most of the planar and trim brushes in Zbrush work off of the initial normal you start drawing from so you want to find a good angle that already exists in the slope and use that as the starting point. Try Trim Smooth border. It's not loaded by default so you have to…
Hello! Had a quick question! So Been doing 3D modeling(in Maya) lately and wanted to take the next step(creating hi-res models). I took a look at Zbrush and found it a tad expensive and was thinking of purchasing Zbrush Core. I know some features are missing, but I am OK with the limitations(no UV, no Textures, etc). My…
I'm trying to sculpt a plane head in Zbrush and I'm making pretty good progress for the most part with the trim and polish brushes, but an issue I tend to keep running into is getting nice clean junctions where the adjoining planes are concave - my brushes just dig into the facing plane and the best result i can get right…
Hello everybody, I'm experiencing an issue when I export displacement maps from zbrush. It seems that the software can't catch deepest details. Let me show you some images to be more clear: This is a close-up of the high poly in zbrush, but when I link the map in maya and try to render with arnold, what I get is this: As…
Hey all, so I picked up recently a Ugee M708 tablet for sculpting, but Zbrush refuses to recognize the pen pressure. The drivers seem to be fine - the installed driver actually comes with a little test square, and that confirms the pen pressure is recognized. Weirdly, Blender also recognizes the tablet - but Zbrush (and…
So I have dabbled with Zbrush a few time over the years, but finally decided to make the jump from Mudbox to Zbrush. Got a bunch of stuff to learn yet. Anyway so at the moment I am trying to customize Zbrush to my personal preference. I have done changes to the UI so they make more sense to my Maya/Mudbox experience. Now…
This is an annoying problem with zbrush - especially for the many who use hotkeys. I also switch brushes using hotkeys and no doubt I hit the D key for some brushes. The fact that dynamic subdiv is D... just D.. well it's problem. Shift D and Ctrl D are pretty common use hotkeys and yet D can be hit by accident (especially…
