Intro to ZBrush: Detail an Ax - Wood and Leather (2/5)

[@Domzdream]

As always, a brilliant tutorial!

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Glad you think so! Thank you for watching!

[@morningdrums]

I have a question. Saw you added a cool symbol on the ax. I'm making a wooden viking table in maya, texture in zbrush. How do I add a celtic knot row symbol on each of wooden legs?

[@Dogmen58]

That is so great! Thank you very much =D

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

You're very welcome! 💖

[@wnbowen]

Where did or where do you get your alpha brushes from? Any recommendations? Where did the KD_natural_09 alpha come from and where can I get my hands on it?

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Good question, Will. You can make your own but Pixologic has a few of them to download for free. Hope this helps! pixologic.com/zbrush/downloadcenter/alpha/#prettyPhoto

Monica I’ve been watching your tutorials for the last year since I decided to go to school for animation, you are beyond the best tutorials on KZbin and I’m in love with your work, you are so helpful and talented. Thank you so much for doing this! I’ve never left a comment on KZbin before but after watching your videos for so long I felt like I needed to tell you how much I appreciate them! Thank you so much!!

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Wow, thank you! I'm so happy to hear my videos help artists like you. Thank you for watching and good luck with your studies, Mary! 😄

[@SahilBhagat2711]

Can anybody tell Autodesk maya or Zbrush which is suitable for in Animation industry or as professional which have more Recognition please

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Good question, both are industry standards. Zbrush for modeling/sculpt. Maya for modeling, animating, rendering, so on. Hope that helps!

[@antarasengupta9000]

hi, I made a sword in Maya and imported it in ZBrush and now I want to detail it and I need to use dynamesh cause of some cloth wrapped around the sword. so, then do I have to do retopology in Maya again?

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

That's a great question. You do not need to retopo unless the geometry has been altered dramatically. For example, if I took my blade and made it thicker and larger, I would have to retopo, because baking won't add those changes. Baking only does details. I hope that helps!

[@morningdrums]

I wanted to ask, will you be offering my courses with tutorials for people to follow and build there own models? Like you have, the tower of pizza

[@alex_dc800]

Hey, when should I sculpt details in Z brush and when should I paint details in substance painter!? any tips? guidelines? I've recently been introduced to the concept of baking and normal maps, optimization, etc

[@antarasengupta9000]

after texturing it in substance, where do we need to render it?

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Good question! Once you export all of your textures, it's up to you where to render it. Maya, Unreal, 3DS Max, whatever you like!

[@kannan7223]

Hi i use same process my maya model i send in obj zbrush i work bike model to send zbrush but model is shown in some part hide visible

[@ankitshigwan699]

My Subtool group split is not working.please help.

[@antarasengupta9000]

hi, so uv mapping the model before importing in zbrush is necessary? if yes, then why?

[@OreoHentai]

baking normal need to have uv on the low poly mesh

[@kingalew3805]

Never stop making videos :D these tutorials are really the best I've found!

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Glad you like them! Thank you for your support, Kinga :)

[@pawanbangera2050]

Hello, you exported that low poly to zbrush and subdivided them so thoes uvs are gonna get streched right? how do i preserve uv i mean stop them from streching?

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

You don't have to worry about UVs in the high poly model. As long as the low poly model has the UVs, you are set. :)

[@pawanbangera2050]

@@AcademicPhoenixPlus but there will explain stretches while texturing right?

[@JasiUnique7]

It doesn't matter how many toturials I've seen cuz eventually its you who learns me something😃You know exactly where and how I might get stuck😅Thanks a lot❤You are great👌🏻❤

[@damocles5047]

is it better to make a model in maya, put fine details on zbrush and then paint it in substance? Cuz it seems if we increase the polygons and add details on zbrush we can export normal maps and it can have more complex and detailed quality which you can never achieven in substance just by painting.

[@ptnoman]

I want more maya and tutorials, especially interior / exterior and product modeling tutorials. It is better to give 3d max tutorial and Exhibition Stall Design modeling

[@prajwalkhantwal395]

Hello maam, can you please make a tutorial on toon shading/rendering in Vray or Arnold... Thank you💐

[@TheNileshrocks]

hi Monica, this video help me a lot and i want to ask " how to import maya obj in separate parts and combine in zbrush? "

[@yagiz89]

Is there any other way to make those details (like metal cracks and cloth bumbs) only using maya ? I know its super easy to use zbrush for details but i dont have the software plus its super expensive in my country and i dont want to download from torrent.

[@delrichex1316]

The cracks can be made in maya using the sculpting workspace, you will have to get a crack alpha or sculpt it by hand if you could. For the cloths, ncloth is great. But ill recommend Marvelous designer for clothes or fabric stuffs

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

It is possible, but it will be very heavy mesh. You can add the details through texture, or if you want to sculpt, then Mudbox might be a better option. I hope that helps!

[@javadasadi3267]

I recommend blender sculpt tool my friend that's free and you will be satisfied😀

[@yagiz89]

@@javadasadi3267 Can i export Maya file to Blender for sculpt ?

[@javadasadi3267]

@@yagiz89 sure thing , export it as .obj or .fbx and simply import it to blender، There is competition between Blender and Zbrush also 😁

[@snap-n-shoot]

Maya has GoZ to export to ZBrush. Is that a good or bad option?
