such a long but informative tutorial! heres a leech that i made from what i learnt:
about the 3rd finished model I’ve finished sofar in zbrush. hows it look?
edit by the way, its not meant to look like a real leach, no reference used, lol.
Hi!
That’s a great Zscript! Taught me loads.
Apologies if this is a really simple question, but I’m still new to Zbrush and thought it’d be a quick one for someone to answer, rather than me trawling back through all the learning material I’ve done.
When doing the first stage of sculpting, you seem to be drawing paint strokes, then massaging the harsh lines in to the model, in effect blurring/softening your strokes. I’m not sure if you’re using some keyboard shortcut to do this, as nothing in the interface changes when you start to do it!
I just wondered if someone could quickly tell me how to do this softening effect!
Smooth!!
S’Ok, I found it!
Great tutorial, Thank you. I’ve studied it and learned very much.
Yeh - Great tutorial / zscript. I started watching and realised how good it is. Takes you through a lot of texture and displacement alphas etc.
I found the best way to follow scripts like this is to switch on the &Notes button on the Zscript menu. Yes it does take longer, but you get to follow everything that’s happening (except Projection Master - atm).
Thanks loads for posting this and the faking SSS tut 
Glad people have gotten benefit from it. Make sure you use the ‘directional brush’ rather than the one I used in the tutorial. Makes it much easy to draw on the skin alphas as you can rotate them to more random angles.
sweet mother of pearl this is a long zscript 
had three people walk by and ask why i’m modelling an elephant wang.
thanks though. good to watch.
i was wondering about the displacement seen in the animation. i didn’t notice you store any kind of base or morph target at the start. just wondering what steps you took?
Hey, everybody gets caught modeling an elephant wang every now and then.
Animation?? I haven’t done any animation with it. Somebody else did some animation test with it though and posted it on these boards if that is what you have seen.
ok, my bad. just assumed it was your work.
thanks again anyways.
Great, great tutorial! I have just got one question (nothing to do with the tutorial actually). I have now seen the tutorial once, and I wan’t take a further look on something you did in the middle of the script. Is there a way to jump back, or do I have to see it from the beginning? Thank you very much.

As far as I know you cannot fastforward or rewind zscripts.
I liked your Zscript so much I made a 25 page PDF tutorial which is very loosely based on it… Zsphere modelling, sculpting and texturing basics…
I would really like to hear what anyone thinks of the tutorial. Ideas for improvements and additions as well as criticism is all welcome.
Hope you like it! The tutorial can be found here.
not gone all the way through it but it looks pretty comprehensive, nice work.
Well done, I actually registered just so I could compliment you on this. I’m pretty new to zbrush as well, and that was just what I needed.
The script start well but suddenly it stops asking for Skin_ZSphere Copy1. Where is this guy ?
I always find it better to use a text-based tutorial with screen-shots, because they explain the steps in more detail, so that you understand what is happening.
I really liked this Dinoskin Zscript too - which is why I wrote a text and screen-shot tutorial showing how to model, and texture from scratch in Zbrush.

I made it straight after following this zscript as a beginner, so it’s perfect for a new user. It will help you to solve your problem, Michel.
I also get an errot when it is looking for Skin_ZSphere Copy1
Can someone help please.
a stuuppid question but how can i load the zscript into zbrush to watch it?
this doesnt work in z3 does it? got a few scripts and they dont run. um help
This tutorials is a few versions out of date. The ZScript will not run in ZBrush 3.
