clearrose · July 4, 2019, 10:08pm

I have had allot of fun sooo far with my first go around in Zbrush !!! I had just brought the program ether yesterday, I was soooooo excited I couldn’t stop my self from watch the z-classroom videos and learn what z-brush can do and how to do it !!!

The program isn’t quite as hard as I thought it was going to be. The interface is awesome, I love the shelves for the interface and the ploy paint ti just awesome !!!

That brings me tooo say, even thought I’m new to zbrush I’m not new to 3d. I have about 2 years of experience in maya.

Well, Anyways I hope that I at least a decent job on my first Zbrush project. I Think he’s a FROG/FISH LIZARD MAN THING…???

Now, I wanted to try my hand at Zspheres. So I think it’s decent but, I did notice something I did wrong. I don’t smooth down some the zspheres while in sketch mode before converting to the poly mesh to sculpt on. While I have been able to work at it and get some areas that were like that and get them pretty smooth. Well that mistake has made my job harder, lesson learned from it. Also, My x-symmetry is off too when I tried to use it one side was on the neck and the other in thin air. so I;m now force to sculpt everything by hand, another lesson learn. well, enjoy !!!

Thanks !!! Ron Harris !! Anyways I’m sorry guys for not updating my thread for mouths. College work has been keeping very busy and now I have to get ready for the end of the year review and start sculpting to have work to show them. some really good work !!!

Anyways, heres another zbrush project I’ve been working for a while now for the review. I already about the errors it has but I still hope it’s good enough for the review. This project has been such an learn experience for and I’ve learned allot about zbrush because of it. However as a result their are still mistakes within the model. For example I didn’t have the right approach, I had started with the bust of the head and had to use sub-tools to create the rest of the body legs…etc. so there are splits in between the legs pieces and the body. VS using zspheres and creating the whole fluently. Anyways my net one will probably be better then this because I did learn so much. Well enjoy !!!

Here all the wips of the model:

Thanks and your stuff is ok. One thing that could improve it is define the shapes and structures of your bust, making them more crisp and clear.

Great start with ZBrush man! Since your thread said, “critique plz!!” I thought I’d drop in and see what I could offer.

The main thing I’m noticing is that you have some good big forms (perhaps a bit too strong) and you have some finer details (scales, etc) but the thing that is missing imo is the connecting forms and details. Adding some secondary forms and details that would help connect the major forms and also give the characters a bit more appeal.

I’ll look forward to seeing more as you update! Keep up the passion - it’ll pay off. small_orange_diamond

Thanks sooo much for the critique !!! I believe, I know what you mean by finer details. I will certainly keep your advice in mind in my next sculpt hug !!!

clearrose · July 4, 2019, 9:38am

a new wip post yayz !!! I should really update more often !!

Well anyways, heres my new zbrush project !! I started it in scupltris when my power at my house had gone out because of an bad thunder storm. So I paked up my little net book and sketched away in scuptris for about 2 hours before the power came back on.

After the fact when the power to my house finally returned I imported my creation into zbrush and started adding details and going to town with it !!! Anyways, as always critiques are very welcome !!!

OK, heres a practice head, since this will be my first human in zbrush. Allot of it is still rough (Like the hair and the fact there is no textures yet) but, I still would like critique for any foundation. like anatomy and such so it doesn’t bite me in the butt late. anyways enjoy and have a great day all !!!
