I have been trying to learn Zbrush and this tutorial was such a fantastic resource. I appreciate it acknowledges that the UI is not necessarily well-designed but breaks the program down and teaches a simple way to build a 3D character and helped make it clearer to use that has me excited to dabble more in Zbrush.

This is by far the best ZBrush tutorial I have ever seen. You are a God send

[glormond]

Man, this is such a cool tutorial to understand the new program in minutes! It's so rare that people on youtube explain so much crucial stuff just in a few minutes and in a way that makes you actually understand it! This is exactly that type of tutorial. Zbrush really seems "strange" as you said when first opened but after 5 minutes of your video I'm starting to understand basic stuff.

Wow everything is here to learn about 3D modelling

[optimisticzd]

Love this! The textures are on point and really enhance the overall look of your model.

[MJ-lifo]

Thank you!! Super helpful video and easy to follow! It went into a lot of detail but also gave a broad view of the overall workflow to get a finished model.

[garrett]

great video very well made, exactly what i needed!

UVs and Maps are a great candidate for AI as it is not easily understood when you are a new beginner. I would like the anatomy video as well as video on UVs.

[rgerber]

amazing- obviously i see you have good knowledge about basic anatomy but it's impressive how easy it looks.

[alkoi]

Bro it's very good tutorial, thank you so much

[calebj]

Great Video! Thanks!!
Looking forward to the texturing breakdown video in Substance Painter. Thanks :-)

[luminousa]

thanks :), but can't wait for tutorial UV mapping in maya,

[UzTreyler]

It could be great if you show how to work multiple softwares to create a character or model, like blender, zbrush and maya

at 13:00 when i move the "arms" it pulls the shoulder joint? anyone know where i messed up?

[thanatosor]

meanwhile, Blender require to waste you another hour to re-topology everything after sculpted something nice.

[ashifp]

When i click "A" 14:13 mine is not like yours mine is low polygons and can't increase my subdivision.

Nice Tutorial. I have always wanted to learn Zbrush but i don't have a Graphic Tablet yet. Do you suggest I could start with a mouse?

[ZephrusPrime]

Have you tried using the new crease UV function in Zbrush 2023 that allows you to cut those UV seams?

[christophe_li]

Thanks for the video. Would you recommend creating the displacement maps in substance as well or is zbrush fine?
