say you sculpt a brick wall. It looks amazing. It took you 2 hours. A week later it is decided that the bricks need to be 50% larger.

Hi guys (first time posting here :) ), I've been working on improving my sculpting of metal, wood and stone materials for the past 15~ days.

I want to become a digital sculptor for characters, but I really need to practice and learn anatomy. Ideally, I want to be skilled enough to be able to make ecorche sculpts, and to be able to use brush strokes purposefully and with anatomical accuracy. Questions: 1) Do you mainly learn by doing anatomy studies via…

Clip curve > move topo > Trim dynamic on "edges" > the same 2 alphas every time > Orb flatten >…
I was wondering what do you guys think of a monthly challenge just for zbrush/mudbox/sculptris I.e. sculpting. It just going on this forum you see a lot of people post zbrush faces and you still get the lower the subdivision it is lumpy advice.
