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 are adding new features to ZBC in order to increase the usability, accessibility and the enjoyment of all the fantastic artwork that is presented here in ZBrushCentral. The new ZBSee view is not yet fully integrated into ZBC and the work is still in progress. In a short while a Navigation bar will be activated and it will allow you to switch from Classic-view to ZBSee view at will, allowing you to enjoy the best of both views! Note: ZBSee only operates in the Main Forum. All other forums continue to use the traditional view.

I found my myself with some free time on my hands, and thought I would start a project that has been on my mind since I first played Battle Chess when I was a kid.. I am concepting designing and modeling 32 unique characters for an epic battle chess set. I am incorporating different Playing Card Motifs into each quadrant of the board (white clubs, diamonds, black hearts, spades), as well as having unique "cultural" aesthetics, in this case The Black Hearts deal in dark magic and voodoo. This is Ruk. The Black Queens of Hearts Rook. Ruk is a Dark Druid, keeper of a vast mangrove swamp. His communing with the darker forces in the swamps has made his body take on the twisted gnarled forms of the Mangroves. He travels on a tangle of roots that always rises to meet his step. Powerful, durable and loyal to the Black Queen, his swamps form an impregnable wall that few armies can challenge. Or something like that. I have concepts and progress shots for this and other characters over on my facebook page.. If your interested in seeing how this evolved. I will eventually be 3D printing these. But I am trying to gauge interest in a kickstarter, I would love to finish this project and that would allow me to do it fulltime. I'd really like to hear any thoughts anyone might have on that.. Thanks for looking.

thank you tm, thank you blueferret. (sorry, i did not notice earlier there are replies..) today, i like to share my version of diana of versailles, the last sculpt of my personal figure challenge to learn anatomy and pose ... i hope you enjoy...

Some recent projects involving ZBrush and 3D Printing. I'm using ZBrush to create my model, but also to prepare it for 3D Printing, by hollowing the models and reduce the cost of material (and printing time), but also doing my custom supports using ZSpheres. And here is the print: I also printed an old model that I never had the opportunity to have for myself, the Venus head I helped to reconstruct few years ago. Funny to see the Real to virtual through scan, then back to real through 3D Printing! I also did some custom supports for this model: Both models printed in 50 microns.

This guy is called Steracorilla because well he is a mix of a styracosaurus, a stegosaurus and a gorilla. He was basically an experiment to see how I could give my box modeled action figures a little bit more texture using Zbrush. Therefore I made the base model in Softimage using traditional modeling tools. I then exported the files to Zbrush and masked off the parts that would have to stay smooth in order to make the joints work. The other parts got a rough surface using Zbrush brushes. The figure was then exported as STL file and finalized in Netfabb. The textures showed up fine after the print even on my Mojo printer that does not have a super high resolution. Especially once I painted the model the skin textures looked quite nice. I will continue to use Zbrush in the future to add fine detail like skin textures or scratches. Here are some pics of the printed figure in action:

Hello Guys, I d like to share my newest work I ve been working on as an promotion piece for my humble CG studio - Thunder CLoud Studio . The main inspiration for this piece is Emerald color and jewelry. I want to portray the elegant, upper class beauty of a woman yet still convey the feeling of relaxing, harmony and peace of mind. The whole modeling process is switch back & forth between my primary 3D software - Maya and Zbrush for sculpting. I use Vray to render the image. Hair was converted from Polygon to Maya Hair using my GMH2 Script. Close up of the jewelry The hair is modeled in Maya and edit in Zbrush to control the overall shape and volume. THen I used my hair script GMH2 to convert these polygon to Maya Hair and render them in Vray using Vray Hair shader. if you are interested in my script you can visit my page : HERE Hope you like it !
