I was looking at this model made by Vitaly Burgalov and was wondering that are textures like that possible to do just by using Zbrush and Photoshop or what else would you need to create that?

Im going to push my luck here a bit and guess that this is possible. I know that I could not do it or anything even close, but I suspect that it could indeed be done completely in ZBrush.
Here is why I think this could be done:

Yea the renders in that thread are pretty amazing and from what I’ve seen I think that renders like that are possible through Zbrush.
