How to use Zbrush 4 - Tutorial 1

[LastGladius]

Hey, great work on the tutorial, I was wondering if this type of work is your job or not. I am only 15 and I think this stuff is pretty cool, and I got the trial, but I was wondering if you knew any programs that are free/cheap (less than 500$ lol) and they don't have to be this professional.

Thanks

[Wutzthedeal]

This tut killed me right from the start. I couldn't even "drag and drop" the zsphere. Nothing showed up in the work space. Hope it's easier on others. Will check back when I study some more rudimentary tuts :))

[xXL1VE4IDE4LSXx]

:s when I start mking the Zsphere and then add another the first zsphere turns black and happens the same with all other zsphere that where added previous the one Im controlling...how can I fix this? :s its annoying......

your fucking awesome!

[originalmusic401]

how do i edit after i load it, it just keeps making the figure when i click the mouse

[Bubbbla97]

do you have to pay for zbrush???

[Santiago199431]

@Bubbbla97 It's supposed you have to. But who buys software on the Internet nowadays? LoL...

Although the official zBrush site offers a Trial of the program... if you want to fully try it, you should better download a full version and patch it.

You'll not have the zBrush free assistance service... but you'll have the full version for free LoL.

I hope not go to to jail just for saying this. -__-

HOW TO START A NEW PROJECT??? LOLOLOLOL I CANT FIND IT

[raquazalmj]

okay when i import a modle it wont let me edit it?

[dennipettersson]

The model dosen't show when in 3ds max when I press GoZ, anyone know whats wrong?

[namyoyolawl]

I dont get how to rotate after making a zsphere

After doing my zsphere , when i try to rotate i end up making another zsphere.

Am i doing something wrong? o.o

Im very new to this

[ShapeshifterAT]

@namyoyolawl You have to press "T" after you created the zsphere.

[namyoyolawl]

@ShapeshifterAT okay thanks

[ScreamsForSilence]

Can you use your creations from ZBrush in other software(s) for further editing?

[jazzer1960]

all this does is show how good you are. you do not tell people what buttons to use.

[MrJacc94]

how much does this program cost?

[Foxxgoat]

how are you able make a duplicate limb like at the head pulling on one,mirrors another,

[Foxxgoat]

look back at tutorial one after holding alt how do you get back to working with the original object creating the arms / limbs, please and thank you.

[Foxxgoat]

please , explain by showing which buttons you are pushing before each "and every function , thank you very much, quite helpful, no need to show hot keys but to inform the people watching which icon on the screen for each "and every function....

You can sculpt right away. If you need animatable mesh or even low poly, then retopo. Lots of progs for this - inside zbrush, topogun, nex, etc. Zbrush rrally helps in allowing art first/technicals later.

[MICKTAM12]

god the Zbrush programmers need to know how to make a actual interface.

[TheLaysandpepsi]

poor software ..

[TheBeasty11]

Is it really important to go to 3ds max or can i right go to sculpting ?

[YrUlUKkiNAtM34]

@TheBeasty11 you can sculpt right away, problem is that you can't animate them thats all. if you wanted to animate a model you would have to make a model in 3d max then import it to zbrush

[JamesMorrow07]

How are you panning around the scene/object?

[nathann112233]

can you animate in Zbrush 4?

[Screenwriter805]

@nathann112233 not in the way you can in MAX or Maya, but it does have a limited animation workflow, yes.

[Gadeseterno]

How can i hide the bottom menu?? the menu with the samples of meshes, dog, sphere, man, ... I need more space for work but i can't hide that menu!!

[Screenwriter805]

@Gadeseterno Greetings friend! To hide that you must click on the Lightbox icon on the top... should be next to the projection master button.

[WildAndLoveD]

Hey man can you help me ?

My problem is that when i press GoZ from ZBrush it opens the 3ds max and when it loads it's all empty and the actual model isn't there to see.

Please help me :)

[Screenwriter805]

@WildAndLoveD Ooooh, that IS a headache. It actually can be from a few things. I have notied that GOz is a tad buddy still, but some easy ways to work around this do exist.. firstly be aware of naming conventions, that has a lot to do with it, also, it depends on how many times you have loaded the model back and forth, that can sometimes lead to an empty scene... another issue could be the mesh itself... but the main culprit is probably naming conventions.

[ExtremeGimp]

@Screenwriter805 so how do we sort out the naming conventions?

[Tkwk33]

how can i make create equal partts on the other side of the sphere?

[Screenwriter805]

@Tkwk33 hit X on the keyboard.

[Tkwk33]

@Screenwriter805 Thanks

[jtmcmahon586]

do we have to bye both zbrush 4 and 3ds max to be able to do this?

[Screenwriter805]

@jtmcmahon586 You have to buy ZB4 at the very least. 3ds MAX is more for modeling and animation, etc.. but if you are working for a 3d company, chances are you will either need MAX or Maya in addition to ZB4, unless you are only required to do static work, in which case, ZB4 only is doable, but still not very likely.

[Darklarik]

@Screenwriter805 Hello, id like to be a video game designer in the future, will i be using these 2 programs? and is their others (programs) that i should look into for preparation?

[DVMO897]

@Darklarik 3ds max, maya, Autodesk Programs!!

[Screenwriter805]

@jtmcmahon586 oh and i don't suggest that you follow that other guys suggestion. I don't condone piracy. He's now blocked, lol.

[naruto3zo]

to hide a part is it ctrl + shift ? I push ctrl + shift than click of the mouse on the part to hide but doesn't happend nothing !

[omogas]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I think the way you explain is very clear!

[Millearl]

what can I do to back up something ctrl N doesnt work..:?

[AtrumMixer]

When I load a model from zbrush 3.5 I can't get it into edit mode. The Zbrush 4 controls annoys me.

[finni2000]

@AtrumMixer I had the same problem. Just update to 4, it will sort out the problem.

[AtrumMixer]

mm not sure how you mean. I still cant load tools as I'd like to. I have to draw the tools out myself, and then they get unbalanced. I think Im just gonna stick with 3.5.

Easier controls on that one.

[raksmey00]

Great tutorial and tips, thank you =)

[the12221]

helpfull :)

[Screenwriter805]

Yes there are ways, but this tutorial set is designed for MAX/Zbrush users, but i will likely add a video on this in the future.

[mobyfreerunner]

@Screenwriter805 hey man great tutorial help me ALOT :D, btw i heard the terms and conditions on YT for partners, is tht ur not allowed to tell viewers to click the AD... maybe wanna look into tht?

[Screenwriter805]

@mobyfreerunner thanks for letting me know!!

[chimera15]

Pretty interesting. There's no way to add vertices in zbrush?

[WCIPchampl00]

Thanks for the tutorial, I mainly use Max to model but I hear zbrush is probably better to model with. I'm not sure if I'm going to make the transition but I might, I cant wait to see more.
