Hey! Thanks for watching! Split Masked Points should be near the bottom of the Subtool menu in a menu called “Split”. It should be right below the Delete button in the Subtool menu. :) Hope this helps!
Do you think it's necessary to have a good understanding of anatomy to make realistic-looking armor ? I started building an armor with a base mesh as my first sculpting project before learning how to sculpt the body, and I was wondering whether I should sculpt a body first to learn the anatomy and then build the armor.
Hey Samuel! That is a good question. I believe that studying anatomy is a really good foundation for character art in general, and if you’re going to be making armor on top of a base mesh, sometimes it is good to have a knowledge of how the body moves and is put together in order to better understand the functionality of the armor you’re making. Many suits of armor were originally designed for a specific function, and those designs were mainly based on the limitations of the human form. You might not need to know any anatomy to create armor from a base mesh, but having that knowledge will definitely help inform your decisions and open your eyes to new possibilities as you create more and more. I’d love to see what you’re working on! :)
Thanks man! Glad you liked the video! And thanks for the suggestion! I’m finally learning Blender, so I’m trying to put together some clean renders of my work. 👍 I’ll have to do a video of that once I get everything polished and rendered out!
Correct! Generally i will do a detailed sculpt, then duplicate it, then Retopo the copy, subdivide the Retopo’d mesh a few times, then project the detailed sculpt onto the Retopo’d subdivided mesh at the highest subdivision level. Then you create your UV’s on your lowest Subdivision level (on the Retopo’d mesh), and create details/textures on the highest subdivision levels. Such a process, but I believe this is the workflow that a lot of artists use.
@@Gatz3D you retopo inside of zbrush? Interesting. I usually retopo by hand inside maya. On complex designs like the one you have sculpted though, it can be a nightmare.
@@AndrewByrnes1 Haha yes! 😂 That project was a bit of a nightmare, especially because I had so little experience at the time. It was a great learning lesson though! Now I like to do retopo in Blender by hand, or if I can get away with Zremesher and paint the curves where I want them with the Zremesher Guide Brush, I’ll do that to save time on smaller parts without having to leave Zbrush. I enjoy talking about these processes with other artists! Soon my Discord will be functional and we can all help educate each other on these dense/difficult topics. :) Thanks again for the support!!
Would Zbrush work for game assets? Seems like the topology is a little too detailed for that. Is there a way to create like a low/high version of each piece? I have no experience in Zbrush and just wanted to have a general idea before I jump into it. As incredible as this tutorial is, if it can't be used for game assets then I'm not sure I'd bother jumping into your beginner Zbrush tutorials. Edit: Nevermind, I answered it my self. Zbrush would work great for doing all the high poly stuff and adding detail, but I'd still need a base low poly that was modeled elsewhere.
Hey! Yes that is correct. A lot of people do a high-res sculpt in Zbrush and do their retopology in Maya/Blender after. Zbrush has Zremesher and the Zremesher Guide brush to get topology in the right flow/direction, but nothing beats the accuracy of manual retopology for sure. That being said, Zbrush is excellent for many things other than sculpting. You can do concepting, painting, and uv’s for quick exporting. I suppose it just depends on whether Zbrush meets your project needs or not! :D
Thankyou so much for the trouble you went!! this was one of the best Armour tutorial I have seen The Berserker Armour looks Amazing I'm so grateful for your time, Help & Information Thankyou very much Sir This was so much Informative, loved it ❤️❤️
Thank you! 🙏 I’m glad you brought up Berserk in the first place! This has been a great project/learning experience so far! I’m glad you found it useful! Happy to help! :)
i have said it before n ill say it again ur turorials are op
Working on a new sculpt and armor. Was creating each piece off body... ao hapoy I stumbled upon this
Awesome! Glad it was helpful!
If you like armor, check out my Zbrush Armor playlist for more videos! :D
@@Gatz3D I've been deep diving!! Thank you for the series.
how awesome strategy!! u created this complex armor in 8 minuets!!!
Haha thanks!! It was a doozy, but I got it done eventually. :)
Oh man I'd love to make that armor !
You can do it!! 😄😄
I like you. I like your tutorial approach. Already subscribed after 5 seconds of watching.
Thanks for the support! More to come soon! :)
this is fantastic, but i cant find "split masked points" in the polygroups section. have they changed what it is called now, almost later?
Hey! Thanks for watching! Split Masked Points should be near the bottom of the Subtool menu in a menu called “Split”. It should be right below the Delete button in the Subtool menu. :)
Hope this helps!
@@Gatz3D thanks!! Cant wait to use this technique on some Orc Direwolf armor. You rock
@@stargana7585 Awesome!! Can’t wait to see it! :D
Feel free to share it on my Discord or find me on Instagram!
I swear to God I wanted to sculpt guts in zbrush and accidentally found this video. I feel very lucky.
Just found your Channel and i love your tuts, keep going man.
Thiagão de Castro Thanks man! I appreciate that very much! More to come soon!

would love to see your porfolio! maybe do a video of stuff you are working on or things you've done in the past. Great Video.

Great tut man, everything was explained concisely and clearly. Great work on the armor too. Sub’d
Nathan Laidler Thank you! Hope you found it useful! More to come soon!!
Awesome video.I'd love to see an updated video with your panel loops instead of extract workflow.
Thank you! More videos coming soon! :-)
So.. you had to retopo and then uv thst? Would be curious to see that
Correct!

Very informative. Could you show us making Armor using zmodeler?
Thanks! Glad you found the video useful! I will definitely be using the Zmodeler when I get around to the helmet. 👍👍
Awesome!
Thank you! 🙏

@@Gatz3D Thanks so much! I think Zbrush would be worth learning. Nothing wrong with adding new tools and skills to the repository!
@@jeremyowen1 Absolutely! Just another reason for people to hire you! :D
Thanks for the tutorial! Gut's armor came out great.
Knight Fish Thank you! I’m excited to keep polishing and refining this set. 👍 Next week will be part 2 with the helmet and/or gauntlets!
Thankyou so much for the trouble you went!! this was one of the best Armour tutorial I have seen
The Berserker Armour looks Amazing
I'm so grateful for your time, Help & Information
Thankyou very much Sir

Pewdiepie is that you?
IJK bro, the first time I saw you, you looks like Pewds :D
Pewdiepie needs to be told this.
😂😂 Maybe he and I can have a “Family Reunion”.
