Sculpting for hard surfaces has its place, and that's post design from CAD like software. I use Plasticity for hard surface modelling and then for the more organic elements I post process it with Z-brush, Blender and even ShapeWorks 👍😎
I love Zbrush, but I'm struggling to find a workflow that doesn't end with a retopology phase that leaves me spending days in the technical mess I was trying to avoid by using ZBrush in the first place. Does your course end with an object that can be properly implemented in a game engine like Unity with Game Ready Topology, or is this strictly a high poly sculpt?
Poly model the base of your mesh. Then clone it such that you will have a low-poly mesh for the game engine and a mid-poly version for ZBrush. Then you can subdivide the mid-poly version to have bevels + organic deformations(edge wear) in ZBrush. The low poly's surface curvature doesn't have to fully follow that of mid poly because you will be baking textures eventually. Also, make sure you rename your low and mid poly meshes accordingly. It makes things way faster. This workflow doesn't require you to retopologize anything and it's even cleaner than initiating your model in ZBrush, but you have to construct your base carefully so that you will have enough flexibility to generate different versions of your model for an easier workflow. Good luck!
You've probably found a workflow by now, but I use Decimation Master and ZRemesher. Also, project my details back onto a low poly version after UV-ing in Rizom.
does your tutorial also cover the export and usage of a low poly model? I've seen a ton of good tutorials modeling hard-surface geo. But when it comes to exporting low-poly geometry and using the mesh inside Substance Painter or Marmoset Toolbag. That's usually not covered. Would be great to know. Thanks a lot, appreciate it and keep rocking, cheers
You might be able to do retopo, but sometimes it's better to just bite the bullet and model with polygons that way when you're done you'll likely already have a complete mesh.
@@kendarr yeah, I wish there would be an easier way. One thing so. Since UE5 can swallow high poly meshes, I wonder if we could find a better way to just use polypaint or vertex color information for texturing so we can skip low poly and unwrapping.

As a professional 3D artist and a ZBrush lover who hasn't touched the hard surface stuff that much yet, I gotta ask: Yeah, but... What about retopo-ing the meshes and using them for production? Do you want to manually build the topology of a cylinder blending to the body of the mesh? Don't you think that would be a waste of time? Also, how perfect do you think are the smooth operations you're doing via smooth brush? If you were to use ZBrush and another 3D software simultaneously, ZBrush would give you not-so-accurate results.
@@Oakbeast re-read my questions before posting a random answer. Because ZModeler is not a solution to non-uniform smoothing. Plus, if you're aiming to go for low-poly modeling, Maya has some tools that ZModeler doesn't.
It's not about perfection or accuracy. The big problem I'm addressing is one of design. I personally wouldn't retopo this kind of mesh. I'd remake the whole thing from scratch and use it as 3D reference. It might sound annoying, but separating design and production into two catagories makes both so much easier.
@@CinemaZiggy Yeah. The sliders under the deformation tab and gizmo deformations don't really work uniformly if you have a mesh that doesn't already have a proper topology. And that's why I addressed the video with a follow-up question, asking why it would be a better choice to build your model by going over several stages of the production pipeline :)
I am in junction. I love Zbrush but I always thought blenders is better for hardsurface and render. Clearly no competition in between for animation. But artistical research you called how Zbrush give that space I totally agree. Blender does not have it
I love using ZBrush, but I have trouble doing interiors of things, even if other subtools are not still visible. The camera wont let me in like other 3D packages. like there is a limit to how close the camera is allowed to be. But for exterior visualization of objects it's great.
the video u showed at 1:09 from blender is wrong method. u would use box cutter and mesh ops to create non-destructive modeling. not sure how long it would take tho
To be fair both of those are paid add-ons and don't come with blender out of the box. That being said there isn't anything you can do using those add-ons that you can't do without them though it will take a bit more time.

PLEASE PIXOLOGIC, watch these tutorials and and give new credit to this modeling style..Introduce new tools for ''free hard surface modeling'', or improve existing ones, because, anyway, there is still a lot of work to be done (ex. tools for bevel, clip brushes with more precise and editable curves, SNAPS...and so on)
Hi I'm a beginner to Zbrush, I am coming from Blender/Maya and have 2yrs of experience roughly in those software. I'm am very interested to learn Hard surface in Zbrush so is this course beginner friendly?
With painting in polygroups and doing z remeshing, you can get way cleaner generated topology. You can also bake in normal maps onto lower subdivision levels to optimize the model further, like baking in that grip texture onto the surface of that gun grip.
it seems this course is more aimed at designing and finding appealing forms in hardsurface than creating models from concept to be ready in production. I was confused too, the stuff he is doing you can basically just kitbash and boolean together, I dont know why he is making his life harder then it has to be
Really like the tutorial it is very good. But it's not for beginners as I couldn't get past or done an action because you got your own set of hotkeys that we couldn't see. Now I am stuck in one of the sections.
can somebody tell me whether u need a pen tablet for hard surface in z brush ? its absolutely necessary if one is sculpting proper organic shapes but is it needed for hard surface ( like this one here) too?
ZBrush user since 2005. The entire workflow is based on using a tablet/stylus. Without one, you're going to have a bad time, so consider it essential. I've just seen that Wacom is running half-price on several refurbished tablet models at the moment, so may be worth considering if budget is a concern.
Ok! I got your video now can you share your hot keys or short cuts in Zbrush? I try Zbrush in 2015 and Scenes then I got scare of using it and everytime I try to use it it will give me pain in my head. Now I see this tutorial of yours and I see it can be easy and fun to use. Excellent work.
Depends. Sculpt with million poly is not always usable everywhere. You always need retopology it to acceptable amount of polygon. Blender with boxcutter and Mesh machine are really good. Zbrush is great for proof of concept, concepting or 3D printing.
a lot of this hard surface sculpting seems hostile to pen sculpting, as the variation in size/strength could unintentionally create asymmetry, would you recommend using mouse for this kind of sculpting?
The way I use ZBrush isn't really precise. as a concept artist, im just trying to get it to look aesthetically appealing. consideration for everything being absolutely perfect is what im trying to get away from when it comes to design in 3D.
If you are going for measurements, then use cad software. Zbrush as well as poly modeling software for games and film aren't geared for measurements like CAD software is.
Zbrush is cool as you said,for concept,but isn't fo r great final result of topology, when you can use minimum of faces for getting surface which is needed. Some time even texture and uv dictate what topology we have to make for getting final correct result. And more over there is no way for subdiv and good low poly.

great intro but I think you are confusing production with concept. I agree that for concept models sculpts can be faster, but in that case I won't even spend time on polishing.
Within 20 seconds of the video I clearly say this is for concept design. It's your choice how polished you want to go with your models, I simply show people that it is possible to get clean results, and from their they can determine for themselves weather it is worth tightening the design up or not.
its good for concpet sure, but not production ready models. you still to retopo most of the models etc. It really depends what you do, some stuff would be better of be done in subd modeling fast and ready for prod. Tho with zbrush you can get a concept out faster
sure it´s always about priorities, no 3D software can be the best at everything, sometimes zbrush is better, sometimes "classic" polygonal modeling is better and sometimes it´s better to use CAD
@@TheMULTIcanal well today, i had to use houdini to make a model and import i maya, even tho maya is better for polymodeling. As you said each software have their use case

You’re spending way too long on just one bevel. In any other program, like polygon modeling or CAD, it takes just 2 seconds. But with solid surfaces, the bevels are everywhere, and the accuracy of the parts is off.
yeah topology is important though ... you cant put your dense model in a video game also clean topology is healthier in general what would be great is if Zbrush had tools that do a retopo for high dense models and automatically clean topology without messing up or changing the shapes or bevels

You’re spending way too long on just one bevel. In any other program, like polygon modeling or CAD, it takes just 2 seconds. But with solid surfaces, the bevels are everywhere, and the accuracy of the parts is off.
Very non-precise though. It's honestly sloppy. "Yeah, kinda like that" isn't how I do things. An AI can do "yeah, kinda like that"
