This guy sculpts, rigs, textures, and animates? FFS, Is there anything he CAN'T do!?!?

What if I want to do symmetry on zsphere (means my symmetry was on but i did some work by doing isolation and now the one side is different and other side little bit different in zsphere so how can i do the symmetry on the zsphere after doing a little bit of work)

wtf, were the developers smoking crack when they designed this program? "why make it simple and straightforward when we can make it convoluted and counterituitive?"

very nice, thx a lot Michael. One thing I can't figure out. When you created a Circle Mask, and let's say you want to re-use the same Circle Size, over and over again for the next mask. Is there a way to keep the first circle size mask, and then re-apply the same size for the next mask? I hope it kinda makes sense. thx a bunch and keep rocking!

Also careful: nowdays the LOcal symmetry has a "dynamic" on top, if you followed all the steps and it aint working, it's probably cuz "dynamic" is turned on

you cant use an alpha with transpose smart anymore, at least for me it was greyed out

For people stopping by, check out the Knife brush for shapes like these: czcams.com/video/8LNjAkqr_lI/video.html

during the first part where you started dragging with the gizmo, i first tried to drag it without holding down Ctrl, and the edges seemed very jaggy, Holding down Ctrl while dragging maintains the smoothness of the slice.

my brain is fuming but im trying to keep up...2 more videos and im hitting 50%!

After more than 13 years this Contact feature is still garbage

Someone can please tell me why when I import the model in Maya or Blender, there is no mesh? Please help! Thanks!

I'm so grateful for all this shared knowledge you give out for free. Thank you so much Michael 🙏

1:30 strange. When I do the same and only select Detect Edges. All my Polygroups are gone. I am using the latest version.

Thank you Michael. Even if this seems a simple task, I can't find a way or option to straighten an entire edge loop when using the Zmodeler brush! For example, select an existing edge loop, and then straighten or align the edges all at once, horizontally or vertically? When using Blender it's super simple. I can select my edge loop and scale them, for example, until I have a perfect aligned horizontal edge loop from all the edges. But I am not able to find a simple operation like this when using the ZModeler brush. Hmmm, I am sure there are multiple ways, but wonder what you would recommend to get this job done. And how you would approach that. Thx a bunch!

Learning Zbrush and found your tutorial series. It's so nice to follow along and comprehend everything you say, i'm learning a lot. So thanks very much for sharing your knowledge. However i noticed something strange at about 10:00. After clicking dynamesh if i try scultping with standard brush nothing happens, but the other brushes (like move, clay, etc.) work perfectly fine. Is it a bug or is it maybe something changed in 2024 compared to 3 years ago? EDIT: ok, i honestly didn't understand if i accidentally hit some shortcut combo but going to the Brush tab and clicking reset current brush did the work ^_^

Currently working on a project using cc4 to pose a none cc4 character, posing goes fine but when I send back to zbrush some subtools stay in original position, some get duplicated, some lose subdiv levels. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

In case anyone struggled like me: if Zbrush keeps giving you tips about pop up instead of letting you assign the hotkey, it's possible that you went into the Brush MENU instead of the Brush PALETTE

It is Genious man. Thanks a lot

Awesome, great tips. Thanks Mickael!

I really enjoy your videos!

Hi , I want to use the spotlight above the existing texture but it doesn’t work. Can you tell me what’s the problem?

"Document" and "Tool" don't really refer to what I thought they'd refer to😅 At some point i will get used to it

I love ZBrush. But it feels like I have to unlearn a lot of software tools to use this bad boy.

Thx Michael. If you want to conform a low-poly mesh to a high-res mesh (conform zremesh to dynamesh) what features and options do you have? Any recommendations or videos to this subject? Thx a lot and keep rocking! 🙏🏻

If an object was already designed as hollow, I'm guessing blockers don't work?

Watched few tutorials from other channels here on youtube i can say that this series is the way! beginners might find zbrush little complex especially with the switching to edit mode part however this channel made it very easy to follow and understand the concepts, thanks a lot

How do you prevent the mesh deformation? Arms start to look wavy when I move them

you pro bro

thank you for making this zbrush series. I learn a lot

Turning L.Sym on works fine for one hand, but the other still scales away from center.

THIS is the tutorial to follow for learning ZBrush to those coming from Maya (at least from what I've gathered as a Maya user myself), the thing to note with ZBrush- outside of how clearly unintuitive it is- is how you can't truly be precise with this program. i absolutely love how clean Maya gets down to a single vertex (probably because things like mirroring demands us to be precise from the start), but Zbrush demands us to be loose and uncommitted to our geometry. it's like you have to let go and discover the final result (i guess like real physical painting/sculpting in a way). that's been a hard thing to process throughout watching this entire tutorial watch all the videos; this playlist will definitely help you in the long run

Amazing!

Is there any process by which you could change the vertex order of one of these base meshes into a more complex character and still use this pipeline?

perfectly explained thank you man I am starting zbrush this week and your channel is gold you are a great teacher

really awesome. thank you.

some reason my dirt seems to seep outside of the targetet anchor am i doing something wrong

This is EXACTLY what I wanted. Here I was being dumb and UV Master-ing 1mln poly model and getting frustrated over inability to retain detail... assuming it didn't crash the software.

thats the quality of a fallout game that we want

Can you replace the models of feral ghouls in fallout 4 with your model? So that every feral is him?

as always amazing work! can you calculate how long it took you?

fuck333rrr ( y ). thx for video.

Hello, thank you for these very interesting tutorials. But if I've understood correctly, all the work done on Face Tools with 6 levels of subdivision is lost when we export the complete mesh with CC4 and we had to use a subterfuge with a projection to recover all the details? It's a bit of a shame, isn't it? I'm interested in this software and it looks great, but I tried your process on 2 simple spheres with the morph target and it doesn't work like it did for @Mr_Dee (I think it's the version of Zbrush that's at fault). And if you use a classic projection, you'll have to make repairs and you won't necessarily have exactly the same number of polygons, which can be a problem later on. Are there any plans to develop CC4 in this respect? Thanks in advance

Love the video, Mike. Maybe it's the way I sculpted my figure (in A pose), but when I rig and rotate an arm it brings a lot of the upper leg in the influence and when that happens it looks like the low poly model is chunky if that makes sense

My friend, I can't thank you enough! You just saved me hours and hours of work. Thank you ever so much for giving us top-notch and concise instruction! You are amazing. God bless!

VERY difficult….

Clearly a pro, on which games have you worked?

You're my hero!!!

Mike P just making it all look so easy-peezy.

Would be no surprise if Pavlovich knows Zbrush better than ZBrush by itself.
