[@jyp1340]

Thank you for this video, your every explanation is easy to understand

[@SergeWorks]

Jy thanks very much for your feedback, glad that you found my explanation easy to understand 😊. Have you tried any other tuts from the series or the ear was something you were after ?

[@jyp1340]

SergeWorks SergeWorks I searched for some tuts on KZbin for realistic ear and finally found yours. As I wrote, It was really helpful! So I watched another series(mouth and nose) after this, and it helped me understand a lot.👍👍 I'll watch the rest soon😊

[@jyp1340]

So... when are you going to make a tutorial about the eyes?🥺😂

[@SergeWorks]

Jy, thanks for all the kind words. The eyes is the ongoing request hehe. I am not giving any timeframes unfortunatelly but it will be out one way or the other 😄.

[@SeriouslyNotSalty]

thanks, it was useful

[@SergeWorks]

Glad it helped 😊, thanks.

[@EAP-gt3ic]

can you do one on the eyes next? You're the only one who seems to have a solid grasp on what their trying to do AND the patience to instruct other people on it

[@SergeWorks]

Ahoy there, you are too kind and I really appreciate your feedback. I wish to do one for the eyes at some point 🙂 but not sure when so no false promises here 😔

[@Wenedi]

If you do the eyes I will love you forever! :D

[@SergeWorks]

Thank you K1TT3N, too kind :). I have a few things in mind before I get to the eyes first but it is planned that is for sure ;).

[@jakubjaniak9977]

Will you create other tutorials? Your movies are really great.

[@SergeWorks]

Hi Jakub Janiak, thanks for your kind words and I most definitely will be creating new content but currently on holidays hence things have slowed down :). What tutorials would you be interested in ?

[@jakubjaniak9977]

Hey. Thank you for reply. New tutorials about anatomy :D eyes, whole head, torso, arms, hands, legs, feets :) Enjoy your holidays :) Cheers

[@SergeWorks]

Thanks Jakub Janiak, noted :).

[@SPSdrawing]

Please make tutorials on how to sculpt eyes on 3d head model

[@SergeWorks]

Thanks for stopping by SPS. Yup eyes are a big request :).

[@ardakekulluoglu]

First of all, thank you very much for this video tutorial. How did you record the time-lapse in the top right at the beginning of the video? I am very curious...

[@SergeWorks]

Hey there Arda Kekulluoglu, glad you liked the tutorial. The timelapse is just a standard zbrush function (instead of saving the tool you would need to save the File, this way it stores all the undos hence the history to be able to create the timelapse if one chooses to (it is under movie menu - "forward history"). Then after I was done and exported the video I have comped it over my tutorial. Hope this helps :).

[@ardakekulluoglu]

@@SergeWorks I just tried it and it's a great feature ^_^ Thanks a loott

[@SergeWorks]

Nice one, glad it has worked 👍🏻

[@arthvaja601]

Which software do you use for putting your reference? like it showing in video!?

[@SergeWorks]

PureRef

[@user-vp1gw2zh7f]

Hey. Can you please tell me why, when I try at the very beginning of the scale a small circle at 0:43, but my circle is growing all the way and I can’t achieve the same result as you at 0:47? Does my scale work differently than yours?

[@SergeWorks]

Ahoy Владислав, it is a bit hard to understand the question without the image. So you are saying that you made the same small mask (for a little circle) and when you scale, it would not scale at the same pace ? Are you using the same transform gizmo (that was implemented into Zbrush since 2018, I think) previous transform gizmo would work in a different way. Did you make sure you made a mask and not just scaling the whole subtool ? Maybe if you could have attached an image somewhere and post a link, I'd be able to help out better. Let me know how it goes.

[@tobiasdeja]

What is the program do you use for references I mean for example at 21:55 ?

[@SergeWorks]

Ahoy Tobiasz Deja, it is PureRef, it is really good for this kind of thing, invisible borders, stays always on top and many more features.

[@tobiasdeja]

@@SergeWorks Thanks! :)

[@ilovesatla]

In 1:47 you used sculptris pro plus what?

[@SergeWorks]

If you jump at 1:37 you will see me activating Sculptris Pro mode that subdivides mesh based on the size of your brush. Look at the top/middle, on the left hand side from the buttons Mrgb Rgb there is a Sculpturis Pro Mode icon/button (looking like a circle with a black wavy line going through the middle). It is a new addition I believe since Zbrush 2018 version.

[@SergeWorks]

Hehe I hear you I hear you loud and clear. It is planned at some stage. Thank you for suggestions.

[@rareksaa3126]

(im beginner here, day 1 learning zbrush. wanna ask how you scale the masked object without affecting entire box ?) solved lol (invert first)

[@SergeWorks]

Hi Rareksaa, if I understand your question correctly, what I did there at the very beginning was masked everything in one go by clicking Ctrl and clicking on canvas (empty area). It has masked the whole object then I unmasked a portion by holding Alt and painting the mask away. When masking means that part won't move or be affected when sculpting. From then on I used transpose tool to move rotate and scale. I hope this helps :).

[@rareksaa3126]

@@SergeWorks yes, i just realized that part. Btw Nice video. Definitely will practice more about ear part from your video. Keep ur good work, man 👌👌

[@piast_kolodziej]

Hi, real time is perfectly fine IMO. No need to speed up.

[@SergeWorks]

Hi Mikon, thanks for your feedback noone responded to this particular query before hehe so great to hear some feedback. Do you tend to follow along the tutorials or just watch and then sculpt ?

[@piast_kolodziej]

SergeWorks I tend to watch and then sculpt.

Hehe it happens, there is always someone to dislike something, that is fine, can't cater to 100% :)

[@TranqulDingbat]

Please don't do timelapses! These are so informative.

[@SergeWorks]

Hey there, thanks for your feedback, glad you like the tuts and in regards to timelapses some people enjoy them too 😊.

[@alfredclausen2593]

You are so right, I often feel that time-lapses are not for learning but for the artist to show how good he is. Like look at me I can sculpt the titanic in 13 minutes but no one can follow even on quarter speed. Thanks
