Just saw it, came out very nicely! One question if I may since I tried to sculpt using your technique. Do you know some other techniques to make the eyelids? I always had struggled with the eyes so I tried to sculpt them as you did but after dynameshing / subdividing, I lost most of the shapes of the tarsal plates. Thank you and keep up the good work!
You could try to use two half spheres in a seperate subtool to represent the upper and lower eyelids and when you're happy with it you can merge it with the rest of the head with dynamesh
@@FynnGB Most welcome. It was easy and honest words. I am just starting out in ZBrush, after spending years as a graphic designer, so watching this helps a lot. I have always drawn freehand, so I understand the process better now that I have taken some classes as well.
When you watch it , it looks soo easy, but when you try (result: it took me 3 days to do it, and the worst part it doesn't even look like this character 😭
I'm currently stuck in this loop of working on models for too long but the one word of advice I could give is finish as many models as you can. They don't need to be complex just whatever you get done in an hour to a day is a big step in improving, same for drawing. Also good luck and keep up the hustle!
Fantastic tutorial! I have learnt so much about your workflow: I was using Dynamesh only for basic forms/base and then the Subdivision build up for all detail, but I find your aproach more sculptor-like working all with Dynamesh and only use Zremesher near the end, not worrying about topology during the process, really my style, thanks!
I'm glad you found it helpful! I like to use the subdivision workflow once I start with the finer details like skinpores/wrinkles and always when I start using layers since the topology can't be changed anymore without loosing the layers All the best!
Great Sculpt, wish I could work as good as that too. I love that he start to model with the skull so you'll end up with proportionate anatomy with the head
thank you for your comment! :) I'm on it! There is not that much time right now since I'm pretty busy with work and university but I'm working on some stuff :)
fynn your sculpting is the best, you're so adept at using zbrush features, im using other sculping software that I have licenses for but I think zbrush has some great features and you are really good at using those. cant afford zbrush at the moment .anyway your sculpts are an inspiration, keep it up man :D
Thanks, I like to translate construction methods that I learn from drawing tutorials into the 3D space Thinking about how I would draw something helps me a lot when i sculpt
@@FynnGB I'm absolutely new to zBrush... i hv a question.. should i make hair, nose, neck, body as different element?? or after making it differently it becomes one mesh?
@@Maitraya3D Hey, sry for the late reply, I didn't get a message somehow I think it it somewhat easier to have some things separate in the beginning like the ears from the head, head from the torso, hands/feet from the limbs to have smaller chunks you have to tackle. But once you're satisfied with the primary forms maybe with the secondary forms as well I would recommend to merge the meshes and clean up the intersection areas. Having things separate helps the most when you're constantly working over proportions and placements of certain parts
another thing I would recommend is to have things separate that are somewhat separate in the real world as well. For example different materials like skin, hair, eyeballs, nails, teeth, and all kinds of accessories (cloth and stuff)
Did you visulised that tipe of head in your mind ? ... Also very, very big bravo sir, you did not only bring a perfect anatomical and proporcionow nuances but a charachtrer . You give'd him life !
Thanks a lot! :) I used to render my models in zbrush (sometimes with BPR and sometimes with Best Renderer) but for some time now I render with arnold in maya. A great resource for arnold is Arvid Schneider's UA-cam channel.
can you please explain your skin shade material properties my skin shade is soo bright it hurts my eyes ive tried everything if you can explain abit that will be great
@@chummykitsune I bought myself a laptop last year because my other one got stolen but if I would buy myself a pc again I would choose a desktop pc since it's much cheaper I would recommend to not go lower than 16gb of ram, an SSD as the primary hard drive, and since the graphics card is not that important for zbrush I would look for a decent cpu as well
Thank you! Yes I upload the WIP images on zbrushcentral: www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?168341-Fynn-s-Sketchbook/page17 and the finished and polished pieces on my artstation page: www.artstation.com/fynngb
I've been wondering for a while, after watching some of your other videos, what do you do to your SkinShade4 that makes it look like that? It seems like it has some pinkish rim lighting or something. It looks awesome.
Thanks George! I use the wax modifier for that material together with a very pale and subtle orange tone you can check out the default dynawax 128 sphere project in the lightbox and just dial down the wax modifier to 20-30 and you have the exact same material
I missed how you made the skin details, could you explain me how you give it that texture? Is it CB? Anyway I really really love the way you sculpt the skull before you do everything else. Superb, for real!
Ive been following this timelapse to teach myself how to use zbrush but im super confused about what's going on at 0:48? ua-cam.com/video/hlThsUR6TQ8/v-deo.html , what's that? Covering the eyes in? skin? Or is it just merging the eyes?
I just sculpted some volume out with the claybrush or you could move some geometry out with the move brush the goal is to cover the eyes so I can follow the curve of the eyeball
I haven't used the undo history record function in zbrush for this video. I use OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) for all my recordings. Can highly recommend it
Quick question, i just install IMM brush from Shane Olson, in Zbrush when i opened the brush not there just blank with the question mark on it. it say "error has been encountered while trying to load brush preset loading has been aborted" so can you tell me something wrong with that?
Hey, I'm not familiar with these brushes but make sure that your Zbrush Version is not older than the one with that the brushes were created. If that's not the reason than I would recommend to contact Shane
@@Screamus you're very welcome! Yes it evolved in some way but hard to point to what exactly. I think over time I make more conscious decisions on what shape I want to create. In the approach of this video I used the skull as a foundation to have something as a reference to build from. Nowadays I tend to jump more directly into what the surface will look like while still keeping all these anatomical aspects in mind. I will try to get some more timelapse videos out soon where you can see how I'm doing it today All the best!
Thanks! It's something that I do for myself. It gives me a good framework to build upon and it's more objective than the fleshed out face so it's easier for me to establish the large forms and correct mistakes in the proportions in the beginning. Clients don't really care about the process, only on the results so you can do what works for you
Hey man. First off, great work. Question: *How do I get the geometry to stop tucking into the sculpt when I Dynamesh? For example, I'll tuck in some arms that I made using ZSpheres into a Torso I made using a sphere and dynamesh, but when I open it in Maya to Retop or rig really fast, there's geometry from when the models clipped within each other in the other programs that cause problems. Not sure how to fix* 😦
Hey, I'm not sure if I understood your problem correctly but if you want just one continuous mesh then you should merge the two objects in Zbrush make sure that the 'Groups' option in dynamesh is turned off and then dynamesh the whole object. This way it only maintains the outer geometry and deletes everything inside. Then I would suggest to either retopologize by hand to have an efficient topology or at least make a lower resolution model with Zremesher while symmetry is turned on.
I think its the same as with other characters Study the anatomy, get the main shapes correct before moving on to the details and do it over and over again Don't expect your first animal to be great but maybe the 5th or 10th
Hey Flynn! Love your way of sculpting! May i ask you how you build up the eye? I mean they are generated out of nowhere? @0:50 :D Those the Brush know that there is a second subtool in that place and build it abve that??
Hey, I inserted a primitive Sphere that you can find in the subtool menu under 'insert' then I scaled it down to it's proper size and hit the mirror and weld button in the geometry -> modify topology tab.
@@FynnGB Fynn GB thanks! i was not quite clear about my question, i meant: how do you do that after you inserted and mirrored the eyeballs, you modify the headsculpt in the eye area so that its like that you are sculpting over the eyeball but the ball is not visible, does zbrush know that the ball is here but not visible so it automatically forms a ball-like" shape?
@@crimsonBen I'm sorry for the really late reply! Somehow youtube doesn't notify me when there is an answer on a comment.. I used a combination of the move brush and the claybuildup brush to add the volume of the eyeball
Interesting ways to sculpt nose and ears, especially ears.
thank you! Glad you like it
More of a Traditional method.
dude's anatomy game is spot on.
Thank you!
@Trantor The Troll well, life is indeed a game, so anatomy can be called a game XD
Even after 2 years, i really like the way you apply your anatomical knowledge into your sculpting method. Amazing work man❤️
Thanks a lot! Glad you like it
One of the best head speed sculpt I have ever seen, wonderful video.

There is so much to learn here, just toggling through the frames. Thank you for the lessons! =)
Hello you are polish I knew that from your name, modeling with max or rhino, hard surface modeling, is much more merciful...don't you agree?
Loved the game universe you picked a model from, but most of all your skills. 4 years now, and still lovely to see.
Thanks for the kind words!

I had never seen anyone sculpting a face from a skull. Really impressive =)
Sculpting from a skull shape makes so much sense when you think about it
absolutely brilliant, still relevant after 4 years
When you watch it , it looks soo easy, but when you try (result: it took me 3 days to do it, and the worst part it doesn't even look like this character 😭
Mine ended up being a goat, I think...
lol - I've supposed the same 3 days for me, but didn't try yet - ty, Fynn for detailed video.
Dont worry try hard anything is possible in modeling u just need to practice

They don't need to be complex just whatever you get done in an hour to a day is a big step in improving, same for drawing.

I find it interesting how you basically build the face up based on what's basically a skull.
I'm gonna try this.

Wish I could afford Zbrush. Stuck with blender for now but some of this still applies. Thanks.
Awesome lo fi beats
It's interesting you build the nose and ears with different mesh. Quite a different approach.
How are you people so talented I can't even smooth a transition between two faces
Great technique for a large nose. Never thought of simplifying it into 3 spheres. Thanks!
Thanks, I like to translate construction methods that I learn from drawing tutorials into the 3D space

Yay, I'm glad to see your videos again. I love these! ^_^
Thanks Aquiel! :)

Study the anatomy, get the main shapes correct before moving on to the details and do it over and over again
Don't expect your first animal to be great but maybe the 5th or 10th
