How to Sculpt Eyes in 3 Minutes - ZBrush Tutorial

[@Follygon]

There are so many ways to make eyes, lips, noses, etc. But eyes in particular can be very difficult because of their expressiveness. I went through many different techniques and attempts to create this tutorial how I would normally create eyes myself. I went through three different ways to sculpt eyes before I created the process in this video. Unfortunately, all of the techniques I would normally use are way too complicated for this format. I want these videos to be easy to understand so that even a beginner could follow along. To test that idea out I actually sculpt all of these with a mouse to make sure that they are easy enough to follow along with. So with a big caveat, I don't normally make eyes this way, but it will give you a great foundational form and understanding for creating eyes. Especially if you are new to sculpting them. Hope you find the video helpful!

I'm literally speechless rn. I don't even know what's more - simplicity of this method or its absolutely absurd efficiency. Thank you very much

[@historiacontaco]

Bro massive respect, this did way more for me than what I was getting in class

[@Evergladez]

Absurdly simple and efficient, wish I knew about this technique when I started lol.

[@Follygon]

me too!

[@SiteMan.]

Exactly what I was looking for today...I'll give it a try. Thanks

[@martinfatnesrenders1767]

I know how I’ll be making eyes from now on😍 Thanks!

[@kevinmendes6958]

I coud'nt use knife rect for some reason was not cutting at all. I endedo using trim lasso but works fine as well, thank you for the tutorial! Love your vids

[@Follygon]

Try using the brush from the other direction and make sure you don’t have anything masked. It could also be a problem with the strength of your brush. The easiest way would be to open ZBrush and try the brush on a primitive object to make sure it’s working.

[@lorenzomanini1017]

Loved it, hoping for other episodes 💪

[@ZigealFaust]

I prefer my personal way but I did learn you can hit alt to toggle waypoints for the knife brush so that's really really useful!

[@Follygon]

you can do this with any of the slice brushes. SIngle tap for curves as well.

[@ZigealFaust]

@@Follygon Game changer for me.

Nossa salvou meu dia

[@bachutiemphim]

Genius!

[@aaa-mt3tz]

lol the hard part is glazed over towards the end in "use brushes like trim..." Getting the eyelid to be sharp and the right shape can be a real battle

[@pedronarciso1527]

vlw!!

[@frantzjoseph3d188]

can you make one for smiling?

[@JennyMoon-j9b]

When I do the lower eyelid with Knife Curve, the bottom gets cut off when I need the bottom part. How do I fix that?

[@tungduong8876]

nice

[@patiparnpiyasing7550]

thankk :)))

[@hamidrezaostovarmehrabani6819]

tnx man:))

[@Follygon]

Happy to help!

[@sivapandianreffreference]

wow

[@IBIS-3D]

This looks like nuclear science but I try it (but I'm noob so everything is like nuclear science for me)

[@pomponi0]

Try it. Even if your results are messy, It'll plant the seeds for creative growth and you'll definitely get better with time

[@spiderversy5920]

Where is knife curve tool😶

[@krzysztofwolski9156]

Hey Ben! Irrelevant comment here. Eyes might come in all shapes but not necesarily sizes ;) There is no significant difference between the eyeball size of different age or gender groups :P Anyway, great tutorial!

[@Follygon]

lol true for realism, but not when it comes to all the different styles out there obviously

[@krzysztofwolski9156]

@@Follygon Yup, I agree totally. I just wanted to add some meaningless comment :)

[@szkrukowski]

whhhhat, wow

[@tave4568]

i love this tutorial but i cant get the mask for the iris to actually be centered and i dont know what i did wrong

[@tave4568]

found a fix, i had dynamic persp turned on

[@The1994Boss]

I guess I just going to stick to generic sculpting technicue

[@kaushalabhyankar6613]

Understand how an eye actually looks. Then you'll be able to sculpt it only using move brush

now do it in a face not that easy huh xD

[@Keji839]

No way amateurs will succeed at this. Just use dam standard and clay buildup. This won’t work when creating likeness. Only Disney characters

[@Follygon]

nah

[@krzysztofwolski9156]

It will work for likeness as well, to build a base that you can work on.
