[@Marienkarpfen]

A very great tutorial, i am happy to run into. (Even if i can do this in 3dsmax with ffds)

[@ARTofESCAPE]

I think Weld Points followed by Fix Mesh will fuse your cylinder and remove the little artifact you get otherwise.

[@Glenn3D1993]

+ARTofESCAPE I'll have to try that

[@hothmobile100]

You are a great teacher. Thank you.

After you get your cylinder it's fun to Bend Arc on another axis and turn it into a "donut" also

[@Glenn3D1993]

+ARTofESCAPE Those Deformers are Fun to play with

[@CharlesStevens3Dmachine]

WOW! Glen, absolutely brilliant! Do you ever have workshops?

[@Glenn3D1993]

+Charles Stevens Thanks! No I don't have any workshops, thought about live stream someday, but don't have the bandwidth to do it at this time.

[@zomakblah7804]

This is good stuff Glenn

[@Glenn3D1993]

+Zomak blah Thanks. Glad ya like

[@TheGreatArlei]

When I extract the masked area I get rounded corners. You get straight corners. How can I fix that? Thank you a lot great tutorial!

[@TheGreatArlei]

nvm I got it. Forgot to edit the surface smoothness on the extract menu

[@Glenn3D1993]

@@TheGreatArlei You Beat me to it, just gonna tell you lol.

[@retrohouse9782]

Dear Glenn thanks for this great tutorial, ideal for a beginner like me. I'm still doing something wrong it seems. The moment I use the arc bender tool it doesn't make a nice circle like in your video .. moment i pass 20° all openings in the object stretch out and fold together in an ugly mess until it reaches 180° and it looks like a round circle filled with needles and artifacts (without any openings). I use zbrush 4R8 P2, I heard the arc bend tool was changed .. does this have anything to do with it ? Or is there another or new way to achieve the same result ? Thanks in advance !

[@Glenn3D1993]

I suspect you still have some masking applied to the Extracted Mesh. Clear the Mask and Try again. Just tried the process in 2018.1 and it worked good, but noticed mask was applied to extracted mesh. Hopefully thats the Problem

[@retrohouse9782]

Glenn Patterson Ok thanks a million for your quick response, I'll give it another shot !

[@retrohouse9782]

Glenn Patterson Yep that was the problem ! It works, love it !!

[@Glenn3D1993]

Awesome! Glad it worked out for you

[@bboyhafan]

thanks for that magic tutorial

[@Glenn3D1993]

You're Welcome. Glad you enjoyed it

[@ZephrusPrime]

Thanks Glenn! Is this the most resent UI that you sent out just a while ago?

[@Glenn3D1993]

+ZephrusPrime You're Welcome. This is my most recent UI. Updated on 7-11-17, the new version is on my Gumroad page.

[@ZephrusPrime]

Thanks-I just reinstalled ZBrush this morning from switching pc's and checked it out. I like the tool layout, I need to play with the scale as I'm on a 27" monitor and I think you said your on a 23".

[@Glenn3D1993]

+ZephrusPrime My HD monitor is 23", so you'll need to mess with button size a bit

[@Marienkarpfen]

Since you pointed out some would know how to do it in Photoshop, and i mainly learn texturing right now, can you cover some photoshop pattern creation? Since your tuts are zbrush oriented you could combine this

[@Glenn3D1993]

+Marienkarpfen I'll see if I can knock something for you. What specifically are you trying to do in Photoshop

[@Marienkarpfen]

Nothing specific, currently learning substance designer and need to know how to make more complex patterns in photoshop as base for textures support.solidangle.com/display/A5AF3DSUG/Coating someone made that golden pattern under the pill picture for me but by god i wouldnt know how to do something like this in substance designer itself (I specifically will need that knowledge to make armor patterns or skin marks)

[@Glenn3D1993]

+Marienkarpfen You might want to take a look at my Tutorial Zbrush 4R8 SVG import, I go into Photoshop and make a Quick gear vector Design and bring it back into Zbrush. I'd go the same route in Photoshop with that circular pattern in the image.

[@Marienkarpfen]

Was informative. There are probably easier ways to right away add these outer grips to the circular shade. Not sure why it beveled that image and extruded it upon importing, gotta admit thats when i turned off :P Your videos are nice, keep running :p

[@alexscript9338]

WOW! Its realy easy greeble!!!
