Awesome tutorial! Wish these beginner series were around when I 1st started learning ZBrush.
Henry thank you so much ! This means the world to me coming from a ZBrush master like yourself. I am honored
Well it started perfect for me. Kinda lucky. Getting stuff learned at CG Spectrum classes and learning alot here too. Simple is a must at start and Mike nails it.Love it
Thanks !
In all honesty, this is the greatest UA-cam channel I've found. Some stuff my professors run through really fast or just skip over... You explain it in just digestible pieces.
Thank you !
As always Mike, you are THE man! Simple, straightforward and clear as a bell to follow! Just starting out with ZBrush and it’s amazing so thanks again!! 👍😊👍
thank you !!
I AM SO STOKED that you started this series. I bought the latest version of zBrush last year. A hefty investment $$$. Still learning. So, I'm happy that you posted this so I can learn much faster.
You are very welcome Eddie !
This is one of the few tutorials I found on this subject that is clear and concise. Thanks!
Thanks for your tutorials, Mike! They are definitely helping me learn important skills that let my creativity reach new levels!
Awesome, thanks John !

Thanks for that great tutorial!
You are very welcome
Thanks a lot for that tips you saved my live !
Very welcome
Good video! Few things though:
1. Sculpting in Perspective mode is generally not a good idea
2. I would recommend dynameshing before applying any deformation effects
I'm really glad you covered the focal shift though, that's something that a lot of beginners commonly forget about when working with alphas.
Im a noob still, why is sculpting in perspective not good?
@@1STAPPEARANCEHULKED
Exactly, and a year later still no response
@@vastadmist2258 waiting
THIS IS SO USEFUL! Just what I was looking for. Is there a way to control more accurately where you position the alpha when you apply it to the mesh?
Thanks again Mike!
Thanks
amazing tuto
Thank's a lot about sharing information.
very nice thanks
What is the best way to separate the 3d relief from the square box? I have tried to draw a rectangular mask before but its not accurate enough. Is there a masking feature I am missing or something with layers that makes selection easier?
THANK YOU SO MUCH! LOVE FROM IRAN
Awesome
Great video. Congratulations.

Just got ZBrush 2018 and looking to start from ground zero level in ZBrush... do you have some basic level tutorial available on genera linterface, etc.? For older versions perhaps? Would they be much difference than ZB2018? Thank you ahead!
thank you!

Thank you
Thanks!!!! Very useful!! :D
Very welcome

Great tutorial :). I have a quick Question. I want to take my model and actually be able to raise it and move it on my Sphere where I can dublicate it(trying to make a robotic foot). Im using my MRGBZGrabber but it doesnt seem to work. Is there a tutorial video that you have that can explain this process?? thank again :)
Thanks brother
I Love it > We want more..
Thank you so much ! More coming soon
Brilliant thank you
Very welcome
thanks man nice tutorial for beginnes
Thank you
thank you mike!
Thanks Diego
We like it alot please make some more videos
Hey this is great! When you said pull and stop (5:10), how did you get your brush not to just tap 1 mark down? How did you get it to resize so smoothly? Thanks :)
I enjoy this.
Good :-)
Mike Hermes :
Happy new year sir !
Happy New Year to you too !
Graciasss Thanksssss
Thank you!!!
Welcome
thanks :)
Great video! What photo editor program are you using? Regular Adobe Photoshop or a different version? Thanks!
amzing
Thank you !
Thanks for your tutorials. Im learning sculpting with 3D software and so I searched some brushes but they are outrageously expensive $290 for a collection of a single subject (human skin) $2900 for all the subjects, its just obscene. I get that people have to make money in some way but I hate overzealous artists, Im going to make some skin alphas and then brushes, I will try to make the best alphas and brushes possible even if I have to 3D scan skin and objects with a microscope and laboriously sculpt realistic geometry to bake the mesh and Alphas. Then I will give them away for free or very little money, now I have a -purpose- hobby and it shall be fulfilled.
thanks!
Thank you !
COOL
Thank you
man u are great
Thank you
How you the shortcut or hotkey to make your Alpha image into your Brush Icon?
Nice video Mike. But where can I put the settings the way you use them? I am completely new to ZBrush and cannot find the settings as you use them in this video.
I would like to see your reaction so that I can more easily follow your videos.
Regards, Fred
Can I do alpha masks in 4R4 version? Or do I need a full version?
excellent one but I have doubt, how to drag the alpha when it's not correctly positioning? it means before leaving I want just move that alpha around mesh? how to do it? and one more doubt, how to subtract?
Practice
Thanks sir
Thank you
I am a beginner. If you were going to create a celtic knot row pattern, how would you create that alpha and apply?
Hi. Can you help me? When I create detail on one side, detail automatically appears on opposide side, but one side is Zadd (detail is convex) and second side is Zsub (detail is concave). What's wrong? How to create detail on only one side, or detail was the same on both sides?
first do mirror and wield ,then use symmetry again
Im really having a rough time. trying to put Celtic knot symbol on legs of modeled wooden table. Not coming out at all like urs and doesn't even look like its laying on top of the already textured wood legs. Really could use some help. I went to google images, grab a row of celtic knots, changed the direction. Right off had issues. Yours you hit control I to invert. But mine never did that.
Happy New Year
Happy New Year to you too !
😄😄
Thanks for demonstration... Could you please give a short demo on UI and tools...
I will !
Mike Hermes thanks a lot...
Mike Hermes oh hell yeah!!!!
Can you do this in Zbrushcore?
how do you create the alpha?
When i draw my alpha the area also bulges, how do i fix that ?
Adjust the bush and focal settings at the top
If you are doing high quality alphas, use 16-32bit .psd files, zbrush reads psd files perfectly
Got it, thanks
If i want to retepologize it .. will i use zremesher ?
You can, yes
i dont have enough poly gons and imported obj from maya....how can I increase poly??? PLease reply...plzzzzzzzzzz
Hit D and shift D
@@MHTutorials3D, it's deforming the obj... :( did not increased ply mesh
@@MHTutorials3D, It worked...Thanks a alot
How to get such high resolution, when I do it, it is pixelated
Check out videos about subdivision dynamesh and zremesher
Make us good in Zbrush as you made us in maya 😃.
I will do my very best
Alphas 4k??
