Even beginners who are new to working in 3D space can easily understand how to use ZBrush's core functions and become familiar with the process of freely creating desired shapes in 3D space.

The most difficult part for beginners is getting used to a new environment and new tools. ZBrush can be even more unfamiliar in that regard. The biggest challenge isn't the lack of information, but rather the inability to pinpoint exactly what you need. Identifying what you absolutely need from the vast amount of information and finding the information appropriate to your learning stage is incredibly difficult and time-consuming.

This course offers the most reasonable learning method, based on extensive experience using ZBrush. The curriculum incorporates efficient work processes and essential learning content, allowing beginners to follow along step by step and adapt naturally.

For those who want to accurately understand ZBrush's workflow and solidify their understanding of its essential features, we've prepared a short and concise guide that covers the essentials in a sequential manner, allowing you to familiarize yourself with it through repeated study. By taking your time and learning step by step every day, you'll soon find yourself using ZBrush to create a wide variety of characters and shapes.


Only in this lecture
Four Key Advantages! 📌

One. Vivid 3D graphics practical know-how

I share the effective work process and know-how I have gained from using ZBrush in the 3D graphics field for a long time.

2. Easier with video + text + pictures

We provide videos that break down the essential functions required for the work process. In some cases, we provide learning content in text and pictures, along with the videos, to facilitate easy learning based on the situation.

Understand why increasing density is necessary to add fine details to an object, and learn the functions for increasing density. Change the brush style and create various shapes on the object's surface.

Learning Essential Features for Using Zbrush 02

Let's understand and apply the Dynamesh function, one of the most important functions for controlling the density of an object's surface, and the symmetry function, which is essential for symmetry work, to create a simple symmetrical character.

Learning Essential Functions for Using Zbrush 03

Learn how to utilize the Mask function and practice transforming specific parts of an object using Mask. Explore the process of adding various shapes to transform the shape and adjusting the object's density for efficient work.

Learning features to improve work efficiency

Learn features and how to utilize them to improve workflow efficiency. Understand the Polygroup feature and learn how to designate specific parts of an object as Polygroups to improve workflow efficiency.

Adding and Transforming Objects 1

You will learn how to add one or more objects and transform them by moving/rotating/resizing them, and how to register and manage various objects in subtools.

If you've learned the basics, you're ready to practice.

This is a time to learn by creating the shapes presented based on the basic content. Pause the screen, focus on creating the shapes presented, and try creating various shapes yourself.

Add and transform objects

Learn how to add mirrored versions of the same object, or modify asymmetrical objects to make them symmetrical.

Add and transform objects

It's time to check out the process of adding objects to a character and try working on it yourself.

Optimizing Zremesher for Objects

Understand why object mesh structures are optimized and learn the process of optimizing complex-shaped objects using Zremesher.

Optimizing Zremesher for Objects

After running Zremesher, use Project to get the details of the original.

Learning Object Transformation Using the Edge Loop Feature

Edge loops are one of ZBrush's most useful features. Learn the features included in Edge loops, explore the various features we've already explored, and master the process of adding various objects.

Adjusting the sharpness of object edges_ Crease

Apply Crease to sharpen the corners and then apply Bevel to adjust the slope and sharpness of the corners to which Crease has been applied.

Practice adding new objects along the surface of an object (character).

We will practice adding and optimizing various objects to the surface of an object or character by applying what we have learned in various ways.

Various ways to add new objects along the surface of a created object

Frequently Asked Questions 💬

Q. Is this a course that non-majors can also take?

The learning stages are structured so that even beginners with no experience with 3D, let alone non-majors, can easily follow along.

Q. Why should I learn ZBrush?

Digital sculpting is no longer an option, but a necessity. It allows for intuitive sculptural transformations, much like sculpting clay or carving stone. It also allows for three-dimensional virtual work, allowing artists to grasp form and develop a sense of form. Its wide-ranging applications are also valuable.

Among them, ZBrush is the most widely used and utilized by countless artists worldwide. It has become an essential tool for creating characters and backgrounds for games, animations, and movies, and it's also widely used for creating figures using 3D printing, making it a global standard. Whether you're aspiring to become a professional, a hobbyist pursuing 3D graphics, or aspiring to become an animator and want to delve deeper into the art of form, we highly recommend trying ZBrush to achieve your goals.

Q. Are there many fields where ZBrush is utilized?

It's used in nearly every field, including game development, film, various videos, and animation. It's also an essential tool for character development, figure production, and other areas where 3D printers are used to produce actual products.

Q. Are there any notes regarding the course (environment requirements, other precautions, etc.)?

Although it doesn't require a high-spec computer, here are the recommended specifications for a computer with a graphics card:

  • OS: 64-bit editions of Windows Vista or newer.
  • cpu: Intel i5/Xeon technology and newer or AMD Ryzen/Threadripper and newer

Q. What can I do if I learn ZBrush?

You can witness the process of creating various characters from your imagination, as if you were gluing or sculpting clay. You can 3D print your designs or save them as a single image for final completion. Using ZBrush, you can add surface details like skin and fabric, apply intricate patterns, and then apply them to characters or backgrounds in games and videos, creating high-quality works.

Q. What preparations should I make before attending the lecture?

You can download a free trial version from pixologic.com , or purchase a monthly or permanent subscription. Install ZBrush on your computer, connect your tablet, and ensure smooth operation.

Q. What level of content is covered in the class?

Beginners who are new to ZBrush will learn the features of ZBrush and its essential functions, and by utilizing the functions learned, they will be able to follow along with efficient processes and various forms through work processes similar to real-life situations, thereby understanding the core functions and overall work process of ZBrush.
