Hey guys, here is today’s ZBrush session. One of the sphere challenge animals that didn’t make it to the animals time-lapse video series, so I thought I could give this guy some colour in ZBrush to show you the use of Polypaint with Sculptris Pro. Hope you guys like it:

Fantastic Work. All of it.

Love your latest update. Tons of character in that goat. You make excellent choices design wise. Inspirational.

Hey guys! I’ve received a few emails from people asking about the new Project Primitive deformer, so I’ve put together a new quick guide about it and it is now live in the ZBGs website:

I hope you find it useful!

Hey Pablander,

Love your work, any chance you could upload your dreadlocks tutorial image again. The link is broke. Thanks

@PolySlave is this the one you are after?: https://pablander.selz.com/item/551f7b77b7987203a81bb891

Hey Pablander,

Yep that’s it!

Many Thanks for all your help.

Hey guys, here is some progress on a small project I’m working on. I’ll be doing some more work on this guy in the next coming weeks so I’ll be posting some more images soon.

hope you like it

Hey guys, just a quick update to let you know that the ZBrush Clothes and Drapery course is available at the ZBGs now. This is a fast-paced course focusing on the creation and detailing of clothes 100% within ZBrush and it is the first course from the #OSOZ project.
You can read more info about the course and get it from here: Clothes & Drapery Course
and if you wanna know more about the project, here is the #OSOZ page: Odd Spirits Of Z

This course is just fantastic, really is! Not only the quality of the movies, but also the information, the tips and tricks…everything.
I paid much more for courses that weren’t half this good!

Thanks!

What ZBrush features and workflows would you like to see in this series?

hardsurface

Million and one character tutorials/streams for zbrush, but very few on hardsurface

@Erik Heyninck - Thanks so much for the feedback mate! I truly appreciate it and I’m glad you’ve found the information useful.
@jaran - Absolutely, I’m not a ‘hard surface’ modeler myself, but the idea of the Odd Spirits Of Z project is to fill in gaps in different areas so I might bring in an expert, that can show us some good workflows :wink:

I put a bit of extra work on the final character from the Clothes & Drapery course and place him into a scene. hope you guys like it:

That’s it for now. If you want to see a particular skill, subject matter or ZBrush feature in the next course from the Odd Spirits Of Z Project, you can cast your vote here.

Cheers!

PS: I’m going to do a live stream (probably twitch) to show the tips and tricks for grooming I didn’t get a chance to show during my ZBrush Summit presentation. I’ll post the time here and in social media later on.

Hey handsome, love the beard and your eyes.
Wonderful presentation at the Summit Mister:+1:
Has the species got a name?

@boozy floozie - haha thanks mate! glad you liked the presentation. Yes I just put two scientific names together (a goat and a spider) and this came out: Capra-audax but someone in facebook called it the Spider-Ram which I think is more catchy haha

Amazing work you do always man! I´m a huge fan of Zbrushguides too! :slight_smile:

Cheers!
