Pixologic is pleased to bring you the #AskZBrush system -- an exciting new way to get answers to your feature questions. More than 170 questions answered, and climbing! Using Twitter, simply ask the question through the hashtag #AskZBrush. Our experts @Pixologic will review the question and where practical follow up with a short video containing the answer. The #AskZBrush system is set up to provide answers to questions that would generate 3-10 minute videos. Our specialists won’t answer broad training or tutorial-type questions such as, “How do I sculpt a full character?” Rather they will focus on specific questions like, “How can I sculpt on thin pieces of geometry?” or “How can I display reference images with SpotLight?” Keeping the question simple and specific will increase the chance of your question being answered! We now have two playlists. The top one is for #AskZBrush Vol.2, which will be all videos created after the release of ZBrush 4R8. The lower playlist is the archive of the original videos, with 200 informative videos. Here is the playlist from #AskZBrush Vol.2!

This is my most recent piece that I created using ZBrush as my primary modeling utensil. Maya was also used for some of the base models before bringing them into ZBrush for detailing. I also used a lot of Michael Dunnam's XMD brushes along the way to bring him together. The concept was created by a former instructor of mine, Nicoas VIllarreal.

Hello! I'm currently a student enrolled in the DAVE School of Animation and Visual Effects. We just started Digital Sculpting and I'm struggling to incorporate this into my workflow. This model is incomplete and I understand the amateur quality but I would love to hear any and all suggestions to improve in the future. Tutorials or topic suggestions are welcomed and I appreciate the feedback. Currently, I'm trying to really study anatomy and being new to the software, any workflow tips would be fantastic. (Note: I've only been sculpting for about 4 days and this is my absolute first encounter with anything of this nature)

Character based on the concept of Dean Holdeen, most of the time I use zbrush and maya to model, but the challenge I made myself was to model this character without migrating from zbrush to other modeling software, I knew I would have enough tools to model it only in zbrush.

Hi Spyndel, Thanks so much for the detailed info, I am exploring a zbrush workflow, purely from a speed to artwork pipeline. I am from a 2d/matte/concept background so always felt a little restricted by assets, so why not create my own. Having never been very technical (or had the time to be so patient as to box model) I looked to zbrush as a tool to get ideas out of my head into 3d as quick as poss. I would probably go for a high poly HS approach, as I have already started down that road. I love the zmodeler tools, but slightly different thinking for me, but again will use that for more machined areas. I realised that I always go for something stupidly complex so have pulled back and followed a tutorial on a knife for example that gave me huge insight into the zmodeler worflow and how useful it is for clean edges etc. My meshes at this stage in my development can be a little lumpy, however using the clay polish and polish I was amazed at how clean a result I could get. Here was my result after that, just using the sculpting, dynamesh and polish tools: I was really happy with how clean it came out, as whenever i'd render it would appear clean but still have imperfections. This was the knife btw: I am going to start a new post with the bunny as I feel that has taught me quite a lot, I may very well just try and get smaller wins here and there to build ot my larger project. Thanks again for the advice!!

Hello ZbrushCentral! I started this project a long time ago, decided to dust it off and finish it finally. It originally started as an anatomy practice, and was used to keep up to date with new techniques and practice, it got rebuilt multiple times. Original concept design is by https://www.artstation.com/sungryunpark This project was created in Zbrush for sculpting, Maya for lowpoly, Marvelous for some cloth and substance painter for the textures and materials and rendered in Marmoset. If u guys have any questions im happy to answer. Cheers!
