help with sculpting tableware

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I’m trying to figure out how to sculpt out pottery/tea ware. Basically, I can’t find many tutorials on making a teapot/cup/glass/other ware you would find from antique silver tea sets.

I’m trying to figure out how to sculpt out the basic shape, and then the handle, and the legs (if I designed it that way).

I’m hoping someone can help me find tutorials on making these types of objects!

Thanks for your time!

Looks like Pixologic removed some of their old tutorials. Sadly new users will have to find some of their information elsewhere. I hunted some things down for you.

Understand that some things have changed with zbrush4, so old tutorials will be similarly useful, but maybe not 100% precise.

Here’s a link you may find useful:

There are lots of ways to generate geometry in zbrush, not just what the above tutorial shows.

I recomend usign zspheres for handles.

And finally, here are two places you can go for other information:
