Oh zbrush, your UI is either a riot or a means to be sent into an asylum, that rotary phone style Egyptian hieroglyph just to control a reference image is just so damn funny, which is great because most time the UI and UX make me want to throw my graphic tablet out the window, I wish the people behind blender gave pixellogic the help they so desperately need.
I remember the first time I heard someone pronounce the letter "Z" as "zed." I went into the comments to see if anyone asked what the guy meant every time he said "zed" and found someone had already commented about it, explaining it. I thanked them for the explanation. Then some prick came along and gave me hell for not knowing what "zed" was.
@@tarz1109 Why, though? It's ridiculous to expect people who speak completely different dialects of a language to understand all the nuances of another dialect. That's so closed-minded and backwards.
@@Ar7ific1al Because it's just such a typical American thing to not know common things of other countries like this when the reverse is the opposite lol, but if you're not predominantly an english speaker then it's a different story
@@tarz1109 Why would you expect anyone to know everything about other countries? That's ridiculous; schools don't even teach other dialects. They don't even do this in England, Australia, or any other English speaking country. You can't convince me that English speakers outside the US know everything about English speakers in the US. I don't understand this egocentric way of thinking, expecting other people to possess the same knowledge, especially knowledge they have absolutely no way of knowing given their cultural background. It's something humans are supposed to grow out of at a very early age, and yet the brains of so many people seem to be stuck around age 7 or 8.
Yes, but the only issue with this I'm getting that when I want to zoom in for smaller details the reference image does not zoom along with the model... Then you have to scale image and match it again causes some slight inaccuracy
Hey danny! Could you make a few on alpha/brush/Material creation/edition, i'm sure it would intrest many people. Not sur it would fit in 60 sec though. Just a thought. Tnaks for these tutorials, they are awsome
Damn, at the end of the video when I saw your avatar, and I just realized that I saw your comment under the video, which made me search how to place reference
I liked it was fast, but I got so lost trying to manipulate the ref image and going back to the 3D sculpt, back and forth, I'm now so I stuck I keep closing and opening Zbrush to get rid of the image on background because I couldn't find how to get into manipulating spotlights again. XD
Danny I had a quick question, this method has become my go to when positioning my subtool for references images, but every now and then the keyframe will record the material i'm using at the moment. So when i switch materials, and I switch between keyframes, the frame will not only switch the subtool position, but also the material i'm using. Do you know why this could be, or how I can avoid this from happening again? Thanks!
You did not explain how did you set your three sphere shapes like that. Can you explain how set up your spheres like that or make video tutorial of how you did it ?
I've always used Spotlight to paint skin, but never as a reference tool. Is there any way to use the sculpting brushes outside the texture area with the spotlight turned on or it just work inside?

The Z-Brush UI makes me want to punch the entire field of 3D modeling right in the face.

The best part was how the model was instantly done all of the sudden. So you just play with the opacity for that step?
lol
God damn it, this method still works after 6 years. Thanks, danny
And it just turns into a near perfect model of the image? Great! Saves me a lot of time!
other people on youtube would stretch this video to 8 minutes with all the talking, thanks for the short & straight forward info
Awesome stuff! You managed to get across everything I wanted to do in less than a minute, cheers Danny! More of this type of stuff, please! :D
maybe the most useful 60 seconds of my learning career XD
These 60 second tuts are dope. Keep up the awesome work Danny.

@@Ar7ific1al I didn't say everything, I said common things, like the english alphabet.
Short, incredibly helpful, just what I needed. Subscribed!
how do i save this so whenever i open zbrush i dont have to do the entire process again
yes ! I didn't know the trick with the timeline ! really helpfull ! You deserve more views for these tuts
You always explain everything so nicely. Thanks a lot!
Keep up with the tuts, they are amazing.
DaMonki thanks! I will 😃
Yay, I know how to add references in a minute. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Yes, but the only issue with this I'm getting that when I want to zoom in for smaller details the reference image does not zoom along with the model... Then you have to scale image and match it again causes some slight inaccuracy
i cant move my mesh unless spotlight is off. it just moves the spotlight around when i try to move my sculpt.
Timeline trick is very handy! Thanks!

Awsome! Thanks!!! :D

How do you "close" or get rid of the image ... when you don't want it anymore ... ?
Awesome tip!!! I love this series

Damn, at the end of the video when I saw your avatar, and I just realized that I saw your comment under the video, which made me search how to place reference
But how do i get to sculpting again, now im stuck in the Spotlight Tool.
for once someone who go straight to the point. Thank you ^^
Why is my spotlight image showing over the top of my object??! Can I not move it behind my object somehow?!
Thx.
Top Channel Thank You Danny Mac
Abdelhak Fannichi thank you Abdelhak Fannichi 😊

Everything i needed in 60 seconds, genius!
you are genius! thanks for the timeline tip!!
Hello Danny , may I know what template you use and how to make it and can I ask for the template?
Very good advice ,thank you man

how u delete the spotlight?
Like it mate!!!
I clicked 'Z went back to sculpting but nothing happens. This Zbrush sucks, everything is so stupidly done
brilliant
thanks but it's too fast and normal people can't follow up in time. even I replay multiple time still don't know where did you click.
so how to delete the key frame if we put the mesh at wrong place.
awesome, turns out spotlight is berry ez
Thanks Danny!
Ruyanisme yeaa it's great 😊
Ikr mate
hi der mate
Thanks 👍
thanks!
Everyone keeps saying, that keeping perspective mode ON is better////? IDK what to do? lol
I have a question, why is my model not being converted? Or it should be done, I just did everything as shown in the video.
I've always used Spotlight to paint skin, but never as a reference tool. Is there any way to use the sculpting brushes outside the texture area with the spotlight turned on or it just work inside?
Thanks!
My reference photo ends up in front of the model for some reason
after doing this i couldnt sculpt anymore... anyway how to fix this?
Would the model you just made be printable or would there be more steps just curious.
OMG Thanks a lot !
Very good :)
how do you add reference into Zbrush core mini, i cant find any tutoriols and im so stuck. PLEASE HELP!
I'm not sure you can unfortunately, at least not how I do it
why is my timeline feature doesnt work? its frustrating
But how to scale with that gizmo thing?
how do you have more than one mesh to edit in one project?
"Why is he setting a keyframe to..............OMFG"!
When I use dynamesh and spotlight is ON, my sculp is crushed.
Is it possible to scale while zooming?
well this is nice but them movie trick isnt working for me also i have som fucked up symetry going on
It still baffles me zbrush doesn't have a built in feature for this lol
Is there a way to sculpt from multiple camera angles, like in maya?
Daniel Norton no it's just one view
I Can't see my image jpg .wich type of file should ı use ?
Texture-> Import and you can select the jpg
do a Zapplink 60 sec tutorial plzzzz!!
this doesnt work . just reverts to the same spot it was originally.
What the tool did you use?
I like your voice :p
*!(= Pretty Cool Ha =)!* Danny, Thank You!
Thcnx
wtf is add to spotlight
Not really useful. Without infos how to use that wheel properly it drives me insane.
zbrush is so unintuitive lol
you talk too fast and your pronunciation is weird
no he doesn't wtf
u appreciate this is quick and wastes no time but i am too slow to follow even with slowed video🥲 please a detailed video
