I'm pretty sure I can create a sword in Zbrush in about 2 mins or less with reasonably complex topology. It's almost like a hot knife through butter in how quickly you can take simple shapes, combine them and manipulate them in zbrush to create complex objects quickly. A great set of tools for 3D modeling miniatures. And that not even including the deformation suite that Zbrush has where you can actively deform 3D models easily, such as bending, resizing, twisting, tapering, inflating etc. Zbrush comes with a brush called Zmoddler that once a primitive is loaded from the side menu can be extruded and manipulated in less time, with less complexity, with greater speed than Blenders modeling suite, and has staggering additions on top of blender that can be easily accessed by pressing the space bar that put blenders modeling software to shame. If remember correctly it's one click on the side menu primitives then one click on edit mode. The Idea that Zbrush takes three steps to make a basic cube is simply incorrect. If someone is making low poly hard surface assets, like copious counts-as weapons or boxy vehicles.why pay for premium software?

I only recently have been able to get zbrush with their 6month plan (a dollar day, not bad), prior to that I was content using a combination of sculptris and blender. I used a cheapy bamboo and gimp for years to get enough paid gigs to afford regular photoshop and an intuos pro. Granted, not the most user friendly until 2.8, but then zbrush 2021 still takes 3 steps to make a basic cubeįree-ware also lets some form of work be done, and can be a handy stepping stone to build up to being able to afford premium tools. zbrushcoremini was only released a few months ago, I'm not surprised people don't know about it.īlender has been available since the early 00s. Now many of the bigger companies have come around to released free-ish versions of their software, but that's only been the case in the last few years. Not every creator/hobbyist has spare 30-50usd/month to throw at industry-standard software subscriptions, they'll only get to use in their side time. Provided as a downloadable resource with this workshop are the STL of the decimated high poly model, the ZTL of the T-pose with all the Subtools, plus the ZTL of the final posed model with Subtools.I agree if one has the financial resources, zbrush features are worth the money for making complicated quality sculpts, once you get over the initial UX hurdles. The final prototype featured in this workshop was printed by Valkyrx Gaming in the UK. You’ll also discover how to present your work to an art director. He talks about how to work under certain limits including time and resources, and stresses why it’s important to be open to reworking models - and never falling in love with your first attempts.īy completing this workshop, you’ll have a solid understanding of the full pipeline when working from a 2D concept to create a 3D miniature using ZBrush. When resin printing miniatures, consideration needs to be given to the level of detail to be included in the model, which all depends on the scale, proportions, volumes, the interpretation of shapes - and you need to know which liberties you can take while sculpting.Īs well as sharing his workflow, Francesco discusses how to optimize your work to save time when sculpting, and shares his tips for developing good communication with art directors in order to receive feedback early on during the process. The workshop covers the entire process of sculpting for miniatures, from considering the initial scales to using DynaMesh, ZRemesher, Transpose Master, ZModeller, and lastly, KeyShot for rendering. This tutorial is intended for artists who already have some knowledge of digital sculpting in ZBrush and are ready to delve into the world of creating miniatures from concept art. Learn how to translate a 2D concept into a 3D miniature using ZBrush and KeyShot in this 4-hour workshop by Digital Sculptor Francesco Orru.
