Pixologic is pleased to bring you the #AskZBrush system -- an exciting way to get answers to your questions about ZBrush features. More than 330 questions answered, and climbing! Using Twitter, simply ask your question with the hashtag #AskZBrush. Our experts @Pixologic will review the question and where practical follow up with a short video containing the answer. The #AskZBrush system is set up to provide answers to questions that would generate 3-10 minute videos. Our specialists won’t answer broad training or tutorial-type questions such as, “How do I sculpt a full character?” Rather they will focus on specific questions like, “How can I sculpt on thin pieces of geometry?” or “How can I display reference images with SpotLight?” Keeping the question simple and specific will increase the odds of your question being answered! We now have four playlists. The top one is for #AskZBrush Vol.4, which will contain all videos created after the release of ZBrush 2019. Below that is Vol.3 with the videos for ZBrush 2018. This is followed by Vol.2 for videos created during the life of ZBrush 4R8. The bottom playlist is the archive of the original videos, with 200 informative answers. Here is the playlist from #AskZBrush Vol.4! PLMjnnUF3eJFc_jsRSLNS-Pker-B7uObEY Here is the playlist from #AskZBrush Vol.3!

Hi All, I would like to share my latest personal work "Arnold Schwarzenegger In the 70's". I have been working on this character from the last 6 months during my practice time at home. Character sculpted in ZBrush and rendered in Maya Arnold. Comments and Critics are welcome. Thank you.

hi Guys. We have an opportunity to work on Okita Alter, a famous character in Fate Grand Order game, for a client in Viet Nam. The model is on its way to be printed and we're really looking forward to final production. Hope you like it. Concept by Fate Grand Order Game.

This is the character I've done for the artstation challenge, in the theme of Feudal Japan. It was sculpted with Zbrush, the clothes were made using marvelous designer, textured Substance Painter, the scene setup was made with maya. For the hair and the fur I used Xgen and for rendering I used Arnold. 2D Concept by Carter adair

I ran out of time to do anything else before my presentation at the ZBrush Summit, so I am considering this one done for now. The whole concept behind this piece was to create a just homage to one of the very finest makeup effects artists to ever live: the living legend, Mr. Rick Baker, who inspired generations of artists, myself included. This was a very intimidating project, because I know how much of a great eye Rick has for detail and I really wanted to do justice to him. At the same time it was risky in a way, because the approach was as artistic as I could had gone, instead of using a more "scientific" approach to assure precision. I decided to go "old school" on this, painting all textures by hand and with no layers, using ZBrush's polypaint and I also hand sculpted all the detail you see. No ready-made textures, brushes, scans or anything else other than ZBrush's own default tools and my own hand made set of brushes were used in this piece. That was both a way to challenge myself and to pay just homage to an incredible, multi-talented artist as Rick, so it HAD to be done this way. The intention was never to create an exact copy of the man, but to rather produce a convincingly realistic double, which carries my style in it and where most of all detail is made up and meant to look believable enough, but it's definitely not a copy of any kind, just an artistic interpretation. Groomed in Maya/XGen. Rendered in Maya/Arnold. Now back to wrapping up my presentation, which happens this Saturday at 10am at Gnomon. This will be the center piece of it, so please don't miss the stream going live at that time! Please follow me at: http://www.instagram.com/theantropus Cheers!

I am still alive... This is a work in progress portrait I've been working on and off for the past two months. Still unfinished, with very rough clothes, no buttons, no thin hair blending brows and hair line, likeness has good room for improvement, grooming needs work etc etc etc. But I am sharing this on other platforms, so it would be unfair not to share with this community that did so much for me over the years. The first image was rendered to test a pretty cool camera lens shader developed for Arnold by @zenopelgrims to emulate various vintage lenses. The preset I picked was the the Zeiss Biotar 1927 58mm. Very interesting result, especially on the edges, where you can see the chromatic aberration and the interesting distortion combined with the DOF. ZBrush for sculpting, Maya/Arnold 5/Randomwalk SSS for rendering. Everything you see is 100% "hand-crafted", meaning no photos, scans or commercial alphas were used, other than reference photos from the web, opened on a second monitor, to avoid any type of tracing as well. All textures were polypainted by hand using HD geometry mode (my favorite ZBrush feature by far... please, develop it further, Pixo!!! ). All detail was done either using ZBrush's default brushes or my own set of custom, hand sculpted brushes (pores, wrinkles etc), also in HD mode, at about 70million polys for head/neck/shoulders. The iris is also hand-sculpted, so what you see is actual forms, not textures. Why? Because I already use a lot of scan data in my professional work and that would be meaningless to do on my personal work, because I am in this world to learn and I like "training my eyes" to be able to see better both the macro and the micro picture. So here is what I have so far. I will be posting other things like wires, video timelapses etc, but only when I come back from my trip starting tomorrow. So, I talk to you guys in about a week or so! I hope you like it so far. Cheers!

On Thursday, September 27 our contestants battled it out, with each spending a grueling three hours creating a Tarot-inspired character from scratch using nothing but a default ZBrush installation. Every artist in the Hard Surface and Organic modeling subdivisions drew a different card from the deck to inspire their work, guaranteeing that the results would be truly unique. Voting ran all weekend, determining who would walk away as the 2018 victors. HARD SURFACE VICTOR: Maartin Verhoeven ORGANIC VICTOR: Donna Urdinov View Winners page

Talk About a never-ending project! Finally finished this Monster Hunter Fan art from a sculpt that i Started 3 years ago! I had to learn a lot of new software and techniques (Substance Painter, texturing creatures, fur grooming, Xgen, Maya, Redshift...) to achieve it and i made every possible mistake along the way while doing it but in the end, it was a pretty valuable experience! https://www.artstation.com/artwork/JoyZm

Hi friends. This is my recent personal work that its name is Wandering. I did this on the basis of persian miniature paintings and i tried to be in 3D Print style. This work is an artistic project and a practice for 3d print, too. Software: Zbrush, keyshot, Photoshop A little bit tutorial of my process work is in below. Hope you like this my work.

Hi Zbrushers. this is my last personal work base on league of angel 2 a game I play in my free time( that I had a lot last winter ), this one is a healer and I love her because I had the problem each time to defeat her.

Hello everyone, this is a work I have done recently, "Linan Sergeant".I have been paying attention to the zbc for a long time. This is my first time post. I saw a lot of talented artists here, and I personally received a lot of encouragement when I appreciated their work. I will continue to send my work afterwards. The concept design of this work comes from Chinese concept artist Zhang Shuai. in this works have many Weaving goods, so i used amazing NanoMesh in zbrush . I have made some breakdowns , I am very glad to help everyone. Hope you enjoy it~~

Hey all, This is my first time posting here...I wanted to share my latest project 17 months into starting the 3D journey. The entire project took me 2.5 months to complete (from modelling to compositing) and was created as part of a university project. The goal with this piece was to explore 3D photorealism and simulate realistic human skin and hair. My aim was to create something believable and cross the infamous 'uncanny valley'. Check out more here: https://www.artstation.com/sefki_i https://www.instagram.com/sefkiibrahim/ I hope you guys like it!

This is a old personal project, that i started in one of my class and stopped because i was full with profissional works. I´m huge fan of this Character. CONCEPT BY by Phroilan Gardner. ( https://phrozac.artstation.com/) All the hair was made by a amazing artist and friend @thalessimonato (https://thalessimonato.artstation.com/) We work closely to find a better way to follow the shape. Follow my instagram for more about the process!! https://www.instagram.com/abraaosegundoart For better quality: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/5yKQz

A small breakdown of the process used. I hope this is helpful for some The whole outfit was modeled this way except a few posing cleanups were done in Maya. Had sculpted the body using Dynamesh and extracted pieces for the outfit. It's actually kinda basic but it does help me a lot in my workflows as I get a clean mesh for sculpting and it is less time consuming than traditional modeling for a clean mesh. I'll try to post more stuff as small breakdowns for the process soon, so stay tuned. -Mad.
