Fibermesh and Finishing in ZBRUSH!

We're back with the final part of this smiling girl project!
💪 BECOME A PATRON - / artofjhill
In this video I finish up the sculpt and add the Fibermesh hair as well as assemble a simple render in Photoshop to create the final image. I go over my method for making hairstyles in Zbrush as well as continuing work on the face. I also briefly go over getting a render out of Zbrush and into Photoshop to assemble a final image. Thanks for joining along and I hope you enjoy the video!

Squad! Thank you guys for the warm welcome and the interest in these videos. Whew, this one ended up being a long one. Gonna try and work on shorter projects and faster turnarounds! Hope you enjoy the vid

[@juliankenning]

Excellent stuff. One quick tip in case you don't know: to save your camera, you can also use the movie/animation timeline. Just place a key for each cam angle you want and there you have it. Apart from having more "saving slots" it sometimes us also interesting to move the slider between 2 camera keys and maybe find that the best view is somewhere in-between. Timeline can also be saved and reimported out along with the keys .

[@artofjhill]

@@juliankenning nice tip!

[@b1na276]

if you use move brush, doesn't it distort the hair? like it makes some of them fatter, etc.

[@b1na276]

may i ask how do you export textures out of zbrush? i was able to export but when i import the textures and mesh.obj into blender, the texture is flipped and it has somer black seams.

[@artofjhill]

@@b1na276 I think it does a little bit, smooth brush seemed to fix some of that but overall I like using the move brush

[@Tsukasa009]

I've been putting off updating my hair workflow from stylized dynamesh sculpts so this was PERFECT. Thank you!

[@KaustavMajumder]

Laughed my ass off when you said - This to This! Actually laughed out loud in the middle of the night - oh wait - it's 5:05 AM. I was up all night studying and practicing likeness sculpting. Dang!

[@MyPokebros]

This is awesome, love the way the renders turn out. i'm relatively new to Z-brush, watching you get the forms and details down so quickly just makes me laugh.Can't wait to see the next vid!

[@doajuggalo]

Man, I am so happy you have returned to making these videos and look forward to more in the future! You are right rendering could use a whole video on it's own. The quality of your teaching and videos is really fantastic and I am learning quite a bit from you. Thanks so much for sharing man.

[@BharathidasanNatarajan]

Seriously man, thank you! I must have discovered your channel when you were on the outs. So glad I did. I had been looking for a hair (eyelash, and eyebrow) fiber mesh work flow, and man did you deliver. Great content, great delivery, well done. Exactly what I needed. Thank again. Looking forward to more videos. Keep it real! -Farreal

[@artofjhill]

[@TheNaiveJohn]

Brilliant. Thanks for all the excellent tips.

[@sanzay.]

Man!!! I don't know how to say it but your work is really inspirational to me!! I just started out learning Zbrush and the other day I came across your creations on Instagram and then today I found your YT channel. Really thankful for your tutorials and explanations. Thank you for sharing your workflow and knowledge! 🔥💙

[@artofjhill]

Thanks man. For sure, glad you're getting into it and like my work. Keep it up!

[@pxlyy]

Now THIS, is a solid process video! Thank you so much for sharing it!

[@artofjhill]

thank YOU

[@drq594]

This is just astonishing. Beautiful piece. I would like to say congrats like I am some kind of zBrush expert, bit since I am not all I can say is that I like it a lot. It looks so natural, I thought at first you have applied fiber mesh on top of 3D scan. It is also amazing to see how much fiber mesh hair an polypainted lips have added to realism. She looks alive and that is I think greatest compliment someone can give to a sculptor.

[@artofjhill]

Appreciate it! Glad you like it

[@dominikroth7823]

I'm glad you're back

[@artsyguy8057]

I like the ''whoop'' sound you make sometimes

[@eberriera1]

Amazing tutorial, man! BTW, which material did you use for the teeth and gum? The render looks really good! I wish I could learn more about it in details. But this was really clear and helpful. Keep it coming.

[@PoseidonArts]

Great video once again J! :D

[@artofjhill]

Thanks man! :)

[@pradeep_boy]

so professional

[@arifnbd]

Thank you so much for creating this tutorial.... was looking for how to make realistic hair for previsualization inside ZBrush.... then Bingo!!!!!... Thank you!!!!!!

[@artofjhill]

cool, glad it helped

[@traianboitan943]

I love the way you explain it, but I also love the sound efects you do "bewwu, buuup" :))) great videos you make, we know is a lot o work on editing, have a nice day man!

[@artofjhill]

Ha thanks man, appreciate it

[@rachkaification]

The guy must wear a t-shirt with "I am awesome" on it.

[@blakeXYZ]

Great work J! Happy to see you back making videos. Your relaxed conversational approach to video content is something special. I believe you're trying to get a feel for content that we'd like to see? Could try setting up a poll, Q&A or some sort of voting to get a feel for what your audience wants. I'd love to see that game character get finished up from 3 years ago :P Haha. But that is a huge time investment and like you said you'd rather focus on shorter term projects. However, seeing your approach to the full game character pipeline would be amazing. Cheers

[@artofjhill]

thanks for this! Yea that project would be a big time and energy investment but I'm planning something to satisfy the people curious about game art and pipelines out there. Q&A might be a good idea and how would I go about making a poll??

[@gianniroden8155]

Thank you for this nice tutorial.

[@artofjhill]

you're welcome. Hope it helped

[@maiskorrel]

Thanks a lot! very helpful tutorial.

[@seothis640]

Hey man, it's really nice to have you back! Yours was one of the first sculpting channels I found when I was starting off a couple of years ago. Coming back to your stuff now, it feels nice that I actually understand what you're doing! If you're looking for future topics to cover, I'll say that the most difficult stuff for me, when I was starting off, was understanding why and especially 'when' you should dynamesh, zremesh, project the details, decimate, create sculpt layers, pose, create UV:s, polypaint, etc. I had a model with millions of points and no subdivision levels and I just didn't get that I had to project the details to stop my computer from committing suicide. I think the basic workflow stuff is the hardest shit to figure out at the beginning! Still not a pro though :). Anyways! Cheers and good job on the sculpt

[@artofjhill]

thanks man! and for the topic ideas. I did do a video long ago about that basic workflow but have thought about maybe an updated one but it's pretty much the same as I do now though I do project kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGnXXoaMbdeIbtE

[@seothis640]

Ohh, yeah! I totally forgot about that one. I need to rewatch all of your old videos with fresh eyes. Keep up the good work!
