[DienesOly]

MUSIC?

[PaRiSpAoFoReVeR]

@DienesOly psydance

[SirQuill]

@DienesOly It literally is below the viewcount.

[hydra513]

nice job modelling.. too bad the music is so bad

[tontsa911]

Amazing stuff.

[SubscribeToKiyo655]

can you import that to cinema4D or something like that then animate certain parts of tha face? or do you have to do every part of the face separately?

[SubscribeToKiyo655]

everytime model i end up making a hedgehog xD!

[Theicemonkeyjr]

Thats pretty bad

[zheffner666]

how did you make it disappear at 0:28?

[bhanukaura]

what is the name of the song ?

[batfan1939]

@bhanukaura It's called, "Shining Star - Porno Cult Mix." Bat Get-Far. There's links to buy it in the description.

[b1gbudda]

how do u go in the mode where u color the head? i really want to know i want to color my objects with my new tablet!

[maxmag981]

HOW Long did This Takes??? 6 hours?

[tritonmole]

can you export that model into *.obj or *.dwg with zbrush?

[b1gbudda]

@tritonmole yes, compatible with almost all other 3d editing software too

[aMenstrual]

thumbs up if Emrahgencerbremen is a badass

[joky153]

What you use for 0:24 , the mask or what is it ? and where can i find him in Zbrush 4.0 ? and with what too you do 1:43 ? thx

[joky153]

What you use for 0:24 , the mask or what is it ? and where can i find him in Zbrush 4.0 ?

[TolgaTahirDoganoglu]

bekommst du auch atatürk hin??? ein scherz ;-)

[Scribblenautsguides]

There was once a piece of freeware called Sculptris, developed my a single person. Then it was bought and turned into ZBrush - I believe you can still get Sculptris. I quite like it!

[Serris460]

name of the song? =)

[RangersFCx217x]

@Serris460 Get-Far - Shining Star

[CrowEvem]

Amazing i wanna do something like that

[achigant]

I have a problem man, can you help me ??...

- I can't edit my objects.. it is almost finsh and I don't what I does, but I cannot continu to edit my objects..

so please help me !!

[NextGenAsh]

@achigant did not understand the problem exactly ^ ^

[FFVIITifaFan]

@achigant yah i have the same thing i kind of noticed that if u go back to draw mode and add a new object u couldnt edit the one before ...

[vealen0]

Zbrush is..... awesome! But its too expensive. Without grants it hard to get this in my country.

[Themoonsright]

OMG that was awesome

[Worldif]

HAAAX

[Trampathon]

the guy who made monsters used this program :)

[Numsemis]

Wow, it's nice. Please watch my Zbrush video and leave some constructive criticism! :D

[BrainBlowers]

can you take a model from 3Ds Max and edit it in Zbrush?

[xayaxxo]

Do you use a drawing tablet for this job, don't you?

[Zkrudriverz]

happy its not so motherfucking expensive like those other modeling programs that r like 4000-40000! im happy that im from sweden so 700$ is like 400$ :D

[Killthreath]

do i need a drawing tablet for this ?

[robenghuse]

@Killthreath no you don't but it is quite time consuming to set the drawing pressure by hand. On a tablet you only have to press the pen a little harder to achieve the effect.

[matthew22389]

how do you isolate certain areas so you only affect those spots and not the surrounding objects?

[utapau235]

it looks pretty easy is it?

[matthew22389]

@utapau235 not as easy as it looks but if you're an artist it is a powerful tool

[DaveTheGamer97]

if u get the free trial version of zbrush do u have to pay for the real thing later?

[TheArkayProductions]

@DaveTheGamer97 you have to pay for the program

[DaveTheGamer97]

@TheArkayProductions no i mean when i get thr free trial do i HAVE to pay for the real zbrush later or i dont have to if i dont want to

[TheArkayProductions]

@DaveTheGamer97 well i think this is the right answer for you.

The real thing Zbrush. it cost money. the trail is free..

[DaveTheGamer97]

@TheArkayProductions thnks i am so relieved

[DaveTheGamer97]

if u get the free trial version of zbrush do u have to pay for it later?

[freddyintrouble]

this is way better than maya!!!

[plastichasmemory]

i feel like eating it. looks like chocolate.

[togeux]

@Guilherme2239

and MUDBOX ? lol

[Guilherme2239]

@togeux

I Never Head About It

[Guilherme2239]

@togeux

I Never Heard About It

[TheTLTLHeadquarters]

Very cool, looks like I have to start getting into zBrush. I always try and make my 2D look 3D, this is just so much easier. Keep up the good work.

[DaveTheGamer97]

SICKNESSS

[systemshockers1]

Real talent there :)

[thewaysh]

@Mkayd0 You sux :)

[friedcoke]

That's ok :P, you might want to have a look at my ZBrush vid for some improved techniques :)

thanks and good luck learning the art of ZBrush ;)

[MangoMango123mango]

отлично !

[imtihanahmed]

nice. i guess uve been doin this for a long time. nice models man

[mrmadbrrulez]

Can u explain me how to creat the subtool after u make the selection with the ctrl key??? Thanks in advantage!!!

[ihatenatwolf]

thats fucking badas

[klarggyjk]

how many hours ? If there was always the stars you would have 6/5

[saprissa9]

what the hell is zbrush??? i keep looking for it and i cant find it sorry im frustrated.

[punkerjuliancito]

le falto un moco a tu guajolote

[s3eha]

awesome job ! can u import these models to cinema 4d ?

[jonasquerino]

Name of music ?

Please !

[clubing7rules]

@jonasquerino shining star by get-far

[muggerSNM]

hoq can u manage sumthing like that O_O its great ! xD

[MagnusRulerHardt]

You make it look so easy. Whenever I use it, I end up pressing the power button on the PC in rage.

[arpeggiosmaster]

@MagnusRulerHardt really??? i ask you cause i want to buy a copy and i want to know if it worths the $600

[MagnusRulerHardt]

@arpeggiosmaster

I haven't used it in a good while. You better download the demo first and see if you can master it before you think of buying it.

[MrSebzi]

@MagnusRulerHardt glad I'm not the only one XD

[gandolflitke]

@MagnusRulerHardt Why? I have spent a few days with this program and have sculpted and textured a pretty bad ass character head. This program is insanly easy to catch onto and get the hang of. Much more easy to use then 3d max. About a month with that program and I still had a hard time with doing anything in it. Now I have to figure out how to paint it and finalize it and then I'm done. The view is the main issue with me, it hangs up from time to time or is hard to keep the model on screen even

[iSOBigD]

@gandolflitke Alt + click outside of your model, on the canvas and the model will be scaled to fit and moved in the center of the canvas.

[93Gamerz]

@MagnusRulerHardt its modeling, like in real life, you have to be creative and have a lot of patience ^^

[MagnusRulerHardt]

@93Gamerz

I am creative, but I do not have THAT much patience; I won't sit and watch myself struggle to find the correct button and fail miserably :( And I won't sit and watch myself open some kind of ghost layer that I can't do anything with, and I can't return to the layer I was editing in, where my mouse had an effect on the model.

Of course, I failed because I had no idea how to use the program. But still.

[slewis]

@MagnusRulerHardt I totally empathize bro. 

[PhibeRCoRe]

Fuckin' awesome!

[TheFXGuy]

dang... reminds me of a mix of GoW, Fallout 3: Mothership Zeta's aliens, Davy Jones, and a Japanese emperor.

Except the textures. Colored it looks unique.

[thrak5]

how do yuo smooth out the square pixels?

[KajVO]

@thrak5 you just hold Shift and you'll get a Blue pointer, meaning you are using the Smooth brush. Either that or choose it yourself in the brush paled. Or do you maybe mean how he gets the SubD higher? If so then it's under Geometry to your Right. Just press SubDiv. Hope this helps.

[thrak5]

@KajVO but the square pixels are still there, and yes I use the smooth tool!

[thrak5]

how do yuo smooth out the square pixels?

[Postmortem88]

I like it! :D

U got some nice details :)

[thrak5]

how come both sides are identical?

[halo3power]

@thrak5 he uses symatrical brush that does the exact same thing on the otherside

[matt768]

he has symmetry on

[Bammer958]

Looking for someone to make me a 3D bullet, message me if you can help.

[BeserkRodent]

can you animate with z brush, or take the 3d models into a 3d animation program?

[Hwin10]

No you can't make animation in zbrush.

Zbrush is only for modelling, but you can import your model in any 3d application.

You have to export your model from zbrush in .obj format then import the .obj in your 3d application.

[ACHSEDESBOESENtv]

@Hwin10 with ZBrush4 its now possible :) Yey!

[iSOBigD]

@Hwin10 Now that Z4 is out you can actually animate within Z as well or just pose your models and export them for morph targets in your other 3D app.

[ftb2ufogaming4444]

i need these programs but they r too spendy can anyone send me links to keygens or anything please!

[superflytiedye]

is there a way to get this for free?

[sappiou]

No... But you can always crack it and use it...

[Audacity661]

the song started out cool, but then it failed... ha

[Cynnx7]

That was Just Aweeeesome! :|

[azhad1998]

0:23

how you do that???

[Tomez92]

Press CTRL on your keyboard and then click and drag over your model. It's masking

[TuPP3]

Looks sweet, but where you can actually use those models? Animation only?

I guess those are too high polygon objects for games to run smoothly.

I like the ZBrush texturing though, real time texturing makes everthing way faster and easier.

[u3190]

Its called normal mapping.

[TuPP3]

@u3190

Its clearly visible that those tools are modelling the object too (Try to make model look like that by applying normal map to a ball)

Wouldn't even work with parallax mapping.

Polycount in that head might be somewhere around 10k?

Though making bump/normal maps in real time to a object is extremely useful to make them accurate and do it quick.

But shaping 3D object is quite useless for me.

(I know ZBrush is able to make only textures/mappings)

[deluxedookie]

@TuPP3

easier to make games with ths it makes the normal map for you and when you export you can make it a low ehough poly count

[TuPP3]

Oh okay, thanks for the info deluxedookie.

Then it seems like useful software, though I would always need 3ds max for some objects, like weapons etc. but character, especially scifi character modelling would be very effective with Zbrush.

[kaunas163]

It looks so cool. Ohh, maybe you can say name of the song?

[Chichiri24]

Shining Star - Get-Far

Theres a notice in the beginning. ;-)

[kaunas163]

@Chichiri24 Thanks

[WorldWormStudios]

good job

[amphr0s]

Sweet modeling

[SamaelClayman]

zbrush seems like bubblegum

[DJBassEnergy]

yeah some good music! ofcorse the alien head was awesome! 5/5

[froggerfrank]

wow - nice skills in zbrush - me jealus now :(

[ArmyTank00]

You can never use this in a true game. Way too many faces

[Nemecys]

lol ofc you have to normal map all that cool detail onto a lower poly

[D3luxeX]

These are generally used as normal maps projected over a low-poly object for game usage..So in a sense you're right, but you're also wrong.

[ArmyTank00]

Oh shiit high end technology that rules!

[Theicemonkeyjr]

LOL stfu dont comment if you dont know anything about 3d. because you clearly dont

[Thewayofmusic]

not yet :D but for cg trailers perfect

[dablode]

If you guys "need" zbrush so much why dont you buy it on a student license instead of stealing it?

[Intogeer]

cool

[soulmman]

Amazing.

[daem0nclaw]

the only bit im having trouble with in Zbrush is the very first step!!

in this video the sculptor can freely pull and push the clay to his specified head shape!

how

zshperes are gay and i just wanna know ho he does this

[facefart]

hehe!

Ok so what you need to do is when you fire up ZBrush click on polysphere from the selection instead of a blank document. You should be able to start sculpting. If you are still having problems then message back and I will do a screen cast tutorial to show you how.

[pfcpowell18]

the move brush. very useful. If you dont already have one a tablet is the best way to use zbrush, wacom makes the best ones I know, and I've heard the same from most of the zbrush community

[JakeLake89]

i have some questions :) now i started study graphic design at college and i will take me 2 years to complete it right and i want to join university or something else ... so heres the question : Were i need to go to study zbrush maya 3dmax photoshop ?? and how the course or that thing called :P please reply i'm relly woried. And btw i want to do character creation and animaton :P

[davchandler]

o sweet same here lol. still n high schoo though D: but this is wha im goin to do in future

[facefart]

Graphic design doesn't really encompass 3d. That being said then if you are interested then continue reading. The best place to start if you want to get in this field is probably to start with something like Blender, perhaps 3DSMax. ZBrush on the other hand is nothing like a 'normal' 3d program. You can't animate with it, you can just sculpt, texture or paint. It's great fun and can produce some great results.

Go to the digitatutor website and start following some tutorials!

[JakeLake89]

thank you

[silverblade604]

if you use it in combination with 3d max, it becomes a pretty powerful program

[Roxas99Yami]

zbrush is more for making models for movies ... if u want tdetail model for games use only 3ds max a little zbrush becuz the number of faces will be too big for detail ... that is why u use bumps and light maps :P

[gordon1201]

Now a days people use "normal maps" in games :P Much better than bump maps. You can use different tools to convert the high poly mesh to a lower poly mesh which can be added to the game. The high poly mesh is converted to normal map and applied over the lower poly mesh. Gives the illusion that the model is made of millions of polys but in reality its only a few thousand.

[Roxas99Yami]

well i convert a million poly model in zbrush in max with optimize and with a 5.0 it goest just to a few thousand ... but still making it poly per poly is a good training ...

[gordon1201]

Well maybe a few thousand is a bit over optimistic but you get the idea :P Its better to make a normal map from a very high poly model than from the textures (using the Nvidia normal filter for example), but yea modeling in a conventional software is definitely important training as it teaches you about flow, edge loops etc, which are important for animation amongst other things.

[Paumonsu]

Song name?

[Marvodk]

Get Far - Shining Star

[ZAKK33N]

Hey great vid love them all, just wondering at 27sec how or what tool did you use to select the parts you wanted to raise? it would really help if you could tell me. Thxs in advance :)

[KHFan238]

havent used it much and laugh at me if im wrong but it might be masking or something lol

[ZAKK33N]

thanks i will check now :D

[daem0nclaw]

the mask tool

i dont know where it si

[myARTvideos]

how do you get zbrush, man? -- did you download it, or bought it for $500 ?

[TheOneEcylpse]

I need it to. Gotta make some stuff for my college portfolio. Im applying into Animation. If you find it, give me a shout

[myARTvideos]

[Deadbeam09]

how do you texture

[AnonymousNr666]

Amazing!! Could you please make a tutorial about your technique? would be great!

[DestinaNero]

Cooler Kommentar von meinem Vorgänger

Tja Recht hat er ;)

[tommhustler]

Really amazing, I have always imagined how CG artists sculpt all those high detailed characters. Zbrush is a fantastic tool, and this is how it looks like when its used by a skilled artist!

[Emrahgencerbremen]

thx:)

[Hookah1388]

fucking wow

[poroni77]

Nicht von dieser Welt ;)

[Beextex]

NICE

NICE

[RegisCartoons]

That I just one amazing Zbrush made alien head! I CAN'T BELIEVE MY EYES!

[jweinrub]

Incredible!
