Digital Tutors - Sculpting Hard Surfaces in ZBrush 3.5 R3project files incl | 1.46 gb In this series of lessons we'll learn how to use some of the hard-surface sculpting tools in ZBrush.ZBrush has always been a great application for sculpting incredibly detailed organic shapes. But did you know that ZBrush has a number of useful tools that will help you to sculpt more hard surface shapes as well? In this course, we'll talk about the Polish brushes, which will allow us to combine smooth curves and sharp edges in a single stroke. The strokes themselves have been enhanced with Backtrack, allowing us to get smoother, straighter lines when sculpting. We'll also cover the Re-mesh functionality which will allow us to combine multiple shapes in Boolean-type operations. We can also take advantage of the ZBrush primitives to give us a great starting point for some of our hard surface shapes.

Digital Tutors - Architectural Detailing in ZBrush Project files incl. | 1.03 Gbdigitaltutors.com/09/training.php?cid=29&pid=215Building and detailing environments can be a time consuming process. To finish your models, you might need to create texture maps, either derived from photos, procedurally generated or hand painted. Adding higher resolution detail, like bricks or stone, to your interior and exterior models can be challenging as well. ZBrush can make this process a little bit easier. We'll start by creating a seamless brick texture that we can apply to our geometry. We'll look at using the Projection Master to quickly add detail to our models. We'll use Noise to interactively dial in some specific patterns, like a knockdown wall texture. We'll also look at building individual elements using primitive geometry that we can then append to our model. Once you're done, you'll have a better understanding of some of the tools you can use to detail your environments in ZBrush and a few ideas to get you going.Lesson Outline (12 lessons)
