Description : In this course you will learn how to fully work in ZBrush 2022. Madeleine Scott-Spencer will show you all the capabilities of this program – from simple basics to the complete process of creating a model. Starting with an introductory chapter that shows you how to create a detailed bust of a creature, we’ll dive deeper into the key features of ZBrush. Let’s demystify the ZBrush interface, understand the menus and windows, everything is very simple and intuitive. You will understand the program’s user interface logic as well as what the tools do. Particular attention will be paid to fast and efficient work in the ZBrush environment – we will deal with interface customization and hotkeys.
This course will give you a complete understanding of the ZBrush brush system, learn how 3D alphas, VDM brushes, IMM brushes, and custom user brushes work. A complete overview of the DynaMesh functionality will be given, and we will understand the levels of separation to create accurate anatomical shapes.
The author will talk about how to take your work beyond the program, you will learn ZBrush tools for retopology and UV mapping, learn how to export color, normal and displacement maps for rendering in Maya, 3ds Max, Unreal Engine and any other rendering tool you prefer. For those interested in 3D printing, this course includes an introduction to Decimation Master and 3D Print Exporter.
The goal of this comprehensive course is to help you become a confident intermediate ZBrush artist who can create 3D creatures, characters, props, and more. Topics covered include creating complex models using the tools learned, managing polygroups for precise modeling, painting in layers, modeling with ZSpheres, posing, and more.
