ZBrushCentral has grown into a thriving community with almost one million posts! As a ZBC member, you already know just how inspiring the forum can be. Between the helpfulness of the community members and the constant sharing of free resources in the form of tutorials, materials, tools, brushes and more, ZBrushCentral has become a place of inspiration for hobbyists and professionals artists from varying industries across the world. The steady stream of ZBrush artwork shown here by artists every single day makes ZBC an incredibly inspiring place! ZBC facilitates a true synergy between Pixologic and all the wonderful artists who have made ZBrush the cornerstone of their artistic toolkit. What makes the great success of ZBC all the more remarkable is that the world of ZBrush is a visual one, filled with pictures and videos. Yet forums by their very nature are focused on text. Over the years we have found ways to work around this disconnect with features like Thread Galleries, Artist Galleries and the Top Row. These were great additions to the forum and have helped you more readily find the great artwork shared by the community, but we weren't satisfied. If ZBrush can push new boundaries for digital art, why can't ZBrushCentral do the same for sharing that art? For these reasons, we are proud to announce the arrival of a new experience here at ZBrushCentral, called ZBSee. A new way to approach forums - one that is truly focused on the art. Uploading images to the Main Forum is done the same way as always. But after the art has been posted, the real magic begins. You will see more and will be able to get to images with fewer mouse clicks. You will also find new ways to keep track of the images that you post as well as exciting methods to interact with the rest of the community - and with the world! The best way to learn ZBSee is to explore it and discover its features for yourself. But for a brief overview, check out the images below. We hope you enjoy this exciting new development in the ZBrush world! Happy ZBrushing. Note: We expect to be rolling out tweaks and feature refinements for ZBSee over the next few weeks. Please bear with us as the forum may occasionally need to be taken offline for brief periods in order to accomplish this. Note: ZBSee only operates in the Main Forum. All other forums continue to use the traditional view. CLICK HERE if you encounter any difficulties or have questions regarding ZBSee CLICK here to explore ZBSee

Hello guys, I finally muster up the courage to post here. just a C/C from polycount, since my resolve haven't changed from that : let's go straight into the subject. Back around the end of november, I felt very unhappy with the level i had in anatomy, posing, rhythm and forms. I know i was able to get some result but it took a hell of a time and iterations to get there. I decided to challenge myself, from this day and for a month, i would have to do a sculpt per day, posed and without symmetry. Getting back to the masters, I decided to copy famous sculptures at firt. as I advanced in my quest for anatomy, I started learning how the body move and work. The funny thing is the more i practiced, the harder it became, and the funnier it was. Time for each sculpture range from 3 to 8 hours. It doesn't matter if they're not finished at the end of the day, It wasn't for the details. Due to my schedule, there were days when i couldnt work and the weekends were for the family. Though at first i wanted to do it for a month, I Think i'll be carrying it to the january (while at the same time doing the comicon challenge) and febuary. For now. Sorry for the novel, now onto the pics. As of today, i am making a little less because i am working on my comicon entry and on Katon Callaway's Workshop at the same time.

I was going to just practice relief sculpting with this one but, as always, I decided I also needed to practice the next phase of production and so on until I had accidentally spent all week on it. I've got a folder full of interesting portraits sitting on my desktop and this was one of my favorites. I thought it would work really well in relief since everything was in the same plane of perspective and it was already framed and flattened to a photo. I tried to use the same mesh throughout so that I didn't have as many faces on the back as on the front (which happens when you dynamesh) and so I could use divisions but this eventually led me to constantly fight the geometry as I tried to get the most out of each subdivision. In the end, the only place that was really lacking geometry near the final passes was the man's face which turned out fine anyway. The hands and faces were the main focus for me and I had to push and pull for a very long time to get them just right. Even if they look fine from the front, the fact that the top plane of the hand is shallower than it is tall gets complicated with such organic forms. It is probably much easier to completely avoid detailing until later but still use a higher subdivision level so that you can carve clean planes and edges for later. I also found that if I didn't enforce limits to the depth it just wouldn't work at all. When I tried pulling his knees out a smidgen it made his head look turtled down onto his shoulders. I did have to overlay the picture to get the main proportions a few times, looking too closely at details tends to make it hard to see those. It's a challenge just to render reliefs sometimes. You really have to force the materials and balance the physically accurate with the cavity and matcaps to get something that both shows the details and gives a sense of a real object. This one's mostly a depth render so you can see more or less what I've done with it. I kept some of the render passes on to keep it interesting but you get the idea. And because I was messing around with it, here's a more coppery material. Lastly, I was keeping some progress renders so I turned them into a quick gif to show you that it really does look pretty hideous for the first fifty million hours and then it just sort of magically turns out when I make the detail pass if I've done my homework and created a good base to work with. I didn't look up the source of the photo beforehand except to make sure I had the biggest copy of it but it's documented as "A Veteran with his Wife" by an anonymous photographer. They've got more than enough expression in their faces to easily make up your own story for them though. Here is the original.

Hi, Thought i would finally try and start a sketchbook of my Zbrush adventures This is my most recent sculpt based on a concept by jaemin kim, for this model i really wanted to try out some new techniques and also try out dynamesh as ive not used it much before. I started out creating a Zsphere armature to blockout the location of joints and scale etc.. Then i used the insert sphere brush to block out volume of the limbs, this worked out quite well and was pretty quick. once this was blocked out i used Dynamesh to merge all the seperate spheres into one mesh and using the claybuildup and trim dynamic brushes i refined the main forms before going in and adding the final details. The final render is in Keyshot as i had never used it before so was also trying out different techniques using this renderer, hope you like it comments welcome,

This Hulk was done for Kotobukiya. I had help with the pose from my dear friend Alex Pereira. This was a fun project to work on indeed. The image below of the 5 Avengers depicts the 3D painted models. They were all done in ZB. Enjoy, I think this is enough for now, there's tons more but I have to get back to sculpting

Hi all, a littleoff topic: Just made my epic "comic"moviescript readable online here: http://www.toonsup.com/list/marina_v...n_suedsee_5005 Its more for the germans amongst us, but if you find the time to have a look I would be happy about feedback. Merry christmas and a happy year 2014!

I'm mostly finished with Giacomo Puccini, based on this photo. It's hard to capture it in a render as I found it hard to get all the different forms to show up with any one lighting set up or material. I wasn't very excited about using the portrait with a hat in it since I could neither make it too flat without ruining the depth of the portrait or too deep without making it unworkable in glass. I managed to find a middle ground that doesn't look too strange but it can't shadow the face the way it should. If you can be specific about it I'd be happy for any critiques or suggestions. Even if I don't need to fix it I can take it into consideration for next time.

Hello guys this is my new work that was done during the workshop Bruno melo Modeled with 3d max,ZBrush,topogun,uv 3d max and textures Photoshop,ZBrush I hope you enjoy! based on the artwork of Riiick http://riiick.blog.me/40182265565 http://eduartchne.blogspot.com.br

Hello Guys, here's the new project we worked on here at Techno Image. We used Zbrush for Character Modeling, sculpting, texturing, BlendShapes and also for some props. The production took about 1 month and 15 days. Heres the spot: And here's some BreakDown. Here's The Print Version. For more details Check: www.technoimage.com.br

thanks a bunch, Nolan_R, Santis, Polyhead90, and Ryan! I moved recently, so I haven't had quite as much time to do personal work lately I'm fighting against that now though, so I did another timelapse. It's been a while since I did something in quite this style, so I decided to do a really anime-y Star Skipper This timelapse doesn't really use any special features of zbrush like the last ones, so hopefully it's not too boring for yallz!

Another dude. Polypaint and render in ZB. Props to artists who are really good with Fibermesh, took me a while just to get some simple eyebrows on this guy. Havent added any real skin details like pores and wrinkles, just another wip in a long list of wip sculpts i have floating around.
