As an avid Blender user and sculptor, I must say Zbrush has some of the worst ui and shortcut configuration I have ever seen. I hope Blender manages to reach the same sculpting performance one day xD. But your tutorial was great all the same, thank you!
@@user-dingydee Agreed, the price tag is quite obsurd imo. As a note from a Blender user if you're keen to dive more into sculpting, I'd highly recommend picking up the Quad Remesher add on from Exoside. It's essentially a Z-remesher, but completely makes sculpting in Blender so much better. It's a little pricey as an add on, but very cheap when compared to a Zbrush subscription.

This video is perfect! I have never sculpt in any software before and have zero knowledge in sculpting. Very helpful for my first time and it definitely kickstart my knowledge to use Zbrush
I can't even describe how much your content has helped me! You are wizard! You taught me more in 35 minutes than my teacher tried in a MONTH! So it's really important to have a right teacher, you have the spark, the talent to teach! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I will definately purchase your courses
Thanks a lot for this beginner's tutorial. It's been super fast but rigorous, I love that you pointed out what all the shortcuts are. Super fun too, congrats
this is one of the best tutorials I‘ve ever seen. So simple, uncut, good explanation and straight to the point. The ui of zbrush alone stole my motivation on working with this program but you made it look so easy and cool that I don‘t have this high barrier anymore. thanks!
You should definitely have more love for your channel. I am studying 3D (jack of all trades kind of study) at present, and ZBrush has eluded me so far. Mostly because the lessons I have learned are chopped up, I think. Your intro was quicker and more intuitive, so perhaps this is how I learn the best. Thanks!
Dude you're the best. I'm originally a 2D artist / digital painter, but sculpting came so naturally to me I didn't expect it. Your tutorial helped heaps. It's still annoying whenever zbrush draws multiple objects, and pressing T doesn't work, and I have to ctrl+N and place a new object. Very unintuitive, and disrupts the workflow. But thanks to you, I've gotten a pretty good grasp. Thank you bro!!!
I want to try Zbursh even i don't know how to draw digital since i'm traditional artist but your tutorial made it easy to learn. Thank you so much! ✨ I will still go back to your channel and learn.
I am making your course of Oni on udemy. Im loving it so much. I just miss the 1st blockage using geometrics what i think you could improve. I them stopped and am doing the Rafa souza's videos (on youtube) to learn more them i will be back to finish the ONI. Thank you and congratulations🎉
You spent, I assume, multiple hours making this video. It's always worth the additional time it takes to add timestamps. Always. Even on sub-10 minute tutorials, timestamps are a godsend.
I really enjoyed this tutorial, thank you. You explained everything very well and i'm definitely watching more videos to get better at Z brush. My only little comment would be to move the shortcuts that pop up on your screen a little higher up, so that we can see them. Other than that, I'm now a officially a fan!
actually, i thought it would be boring and you will explain useless shortkey stuff for whole video (as i already worked alot in blender), but i was suprizingly amazed with your manner of tutorial going through stuff by practicing. thanks!
I bought a Udemy course on Sculpting in Zbrush and it took like ten hours to go over the interface before it started showing how to sculpt. I wish I had started here
Man, I LOVE YOU!!! Best tutorial I've see so far. I'm still learning ZBrush and sometimes this hell of software gives me so much rage to almost explode my computer... but I know the amazing things that can be done, so I'm trying continue until I really learn... in just one video you helped me with a lot of issues that I tried resolve many times before and never had could... thanks for this video, it's gold to Zbrush beginners!!!! S2
Could I get a llist of the brushes used in this video? I only remembered move and clay build up. I was so focus and mesmerize by how you condense this video. Thank you
This is just beyond incredible. Thank you for posting this. I've relied on user uploaded tutorials for, gosh, 20 years now? From early POV-Ray to Photoshop and beyond, tutorials like this are what make hobby creating possible. Thanks again!
Big thanks for an additional video for entering Zbrush, I find this torso a bit more interesting shape than the skull you recorded previously ;) So maybe there is a point of making for beginners with some different shapes skull, demon, hammer, bitten fruit and so on.
I love your quick tutorial! I had a question. I have been doing the famous donut blender tutorial and I had a question here for zbrush. I sculpted an iced donut. but then I wanted the inner diameter of the donut to be larger, but keeping the thickness of the donut the same. Is there a way I can copy the details I sculpted on the original and apply it to the new sized base model?
Yeah... I learnt 3D Max about 10 years ago, quite enough but I can't remember anything as I just was engaged a year doing stuff every single hour of the day; I liked a lot working with spilines and it's like something I would like to learn but not with that entusiasm as I had 10 years ago @@Nexttut , so I'm loking what's new after so many years. I think it should be easier nowadays with all the technological advances and found browsing that ZBrush is like an easier program to start with than Maya or 3D MAX. Yet, I know ZBrush from its beginning; Rinhozeros, Blender and that kind of stuff, like this old prgram to make landscapes... how was the name... Bryce xD I started with that one.
Great tutorial! I have a quick question. I appended a sphere in the subtool menu and sculpted it to a shape, then I duplicated it using the same steps in your video. I press 'Auto Groups' and the original and duplicated object both become purple (although a slight different hue). When I then use the mirror command it only mirrrors the duplicated object? I followed the exact steps as in your video so I am not sure what could be wrong. Thanks!
When you use the ctrl+alt duplicate command it applies a mask to the first one, which you have to remove (you can see he does this at 29:20). Simply remove the mask and do the steps again :)
Heya, absolutely loved this video! It really breaks down the basics in aa fun, digestible way. Now, I'm off to destroy Zbrush. May you all be well! Thanks a ton, mate!
bro could you pls tell me how you did the mirror till starting by using brush if you explain this in any vdo pls share with me it's very helpful for me

That's exactly what I thought XD
Or, and this might be crazy hold on, Zbrush just gets its UI in order for a near $1000 price tag. Make it easier to access and all that.

i love when this guy just casually drops the proper anatomical terminology for the particular muscle that he’s trying to sculpt like ok michelangelo
Art school can be brutal. Depending where you go you also get a free latin course!
Every normal person knows those terms. Did you drop out of 3rd grade?
