ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

hey guys i am new to zbrush and the sculpting world

i always wanted to sculpt busts and statues of my comic heroes ect but could never get the time or the materials together and someone suggested digital sculpting so i got zbrush about a week ago and have spent my time learning most of the buttons ect its quite a steep learning curve

anyway i wanted to point out a problem and a question i had

the problem is muscles for me i a using zspheres for my armature and muscles (im not very good at them right now) but when i convert they always look lumpy and out of place…whats the best way to practice getting good muscles onto a zsphere armature

and my question is…if i sculpt individual parts lets say…the torso and a head…is there a way for me to bolt these two together?

for practice in poseing and how muscles work in those poses i was looking to make a sculpt with muscles that i could move and define and pose for learning

thanks for any help guys :slight_smile:

when you convert from zsphere or zsketch you need to go to the adaptive skin pallet, increase resolution, then hit shift A to see what the results will be. keep adding resolution until you have the degree of information you need.
