Please keep the tutorials coming! I was near tears in frustration with ZBrush after watching 20-30 “beginner” tutorials, until I found your video - you are the only person to make it truly easy for an absolute beginner to grasp. Thank you!!

[@Gatz3D]

EDawNash Aw Thank you! I’m glad you are finding them helpful! Don’t worry my friend. The tutorials will keep on coming! :)

[@lamarwealthchild6199]

wow you are godsent strait to the point and kept it simple ..thanks bro

[@Gatz3D]

Thank you! Im glad you found it helpful!!

[@CraigNull]

This is an unreasonably competent demonstration and you convey a solid "you're in safe hands" vibe for a program that otherwise looks very daunting to jump into. I've never used zbrush and I'm probably not your target audience but I'd be interested to see how an experienced user sifts through these innumerable features in pursuit of a modeling goal.

[@Gatz3D]

CraigNull Thank you! I want to spread the knowledge of 3D and help other artists use these tools to express their artistic talent. Starting out was very tough for me, so I aim to guide people through some of the difficult steps/hurdles. I’ll be posting more beginner videos and some sculpting tutorials as well. :) 👍

thank you for this! zbrush is difficult to learn coming from blender for me

[@CHEEKY_MONKEY]

Awesome, thanks for doing it quickly. Normally tutorial videos take so long i find it hard to assimilate. Like 5 minutes to each step. I'm sure watching the next ones. Thanks again

Thanks! Since being able to purchase Zbrush 2020, I am trying to keep up to date on all the latest features available from Zbrush 2018 to 2020!

[@sjohncreations4369]

@@Gatz3D Awesome, I was sculpting with Blender, but seeing that everyone uses ZBrush for sculpting I downloaded the free trial to see if I can see a huge difference, your tutorials were a nice introduction to Zbrush. Most that I found skipped some basics that can really frustate a beginner, thanks again

[@Gatz3D]

Hephaestus Excellent! Thanks for that feedback. I’m glad you found the content useful! Hopefully it helped familiarize you with the program in a positive way. If you run into any issues or have questions figuring out Zbrush let me know! I am more than happy to help.

[@11blue8]

Stumbled across this! for anyone looking for an easier way to scale you just hold Ctrl and Right click and drag! way easier than alt'ing

[@coinslot321]

Amazing tutorial, at first I was daunted by the software but now I'm hyped!

[@Gatz3D]

You got this! 👍👍 Zbrush is different from other programs, but it’s great once you commit the controls to memory!

[@koyel4568]

You save me❤️.. please make a series in Zbrush.. You are outstanding teacher ❤️🔥 Far better than my institute 🙏

[@Gatz3D]

Those are very kind words 🤩🤩 I'll consider doing something like that! Thanks so much!

Nice job on this! Many thanks.

@@Gatz3D thanks! I’ve already caught that one as well. I am assuming a “six minute” vs is also in the works? You do a great job on these. I hope you can continue to provide these nice, clean tutorials for folks.

[@Zeldur]

Thank you. I've mostly worked with Blender (along with many other hardscape 3D programs) and wanted to try out zbrush to see if the industry standard was any good. Just loading it up I couldn't do anything so thank you for showing how to even get started.

[@Gatz3D]

Absolutely! Glad it was helpful! 🙏

[@KS-zw3ey]

@@Gatz3D I really appreciate the explanations of the buttons and how you say them out each time u used it. And how you end the video with a recap of what u did :D The Zbrush interface is so intimidating to a noob like me haha. It really helps that you condensed it to a few tools at a time. I get really lost on other videos. I'm going to take down notes from your videos so I dont forget yay! God bless you for sharing!!!

I just crackd zbrush and i realise its not all over since learning it still exsist

[@BaakShowComedy]

Great tutorial! When I try to export using FBX Export Import, I lose the original color. Any trick to keep the original color? Thanks in advance!

[@Gatz3D]

Hey! It’s possible that your object does not have UV’s? UV’s are needed to transfer any color or map data on an object.

[@bawxofchawclets4836]

great important information quickly because I hate watching tutorials

Almost like I downloaded the Zbrush Matrix program! "I know Zbrush"

[@willw4661]

Hi Gatz 3D! I have a couple questions: in your line of work do you use Zbrush on your desktop PC or on a tablet? It's clear you're using a desktop PC in this video, but i'm just curious how it's typically used in the industry. Also- so I'm currently in the engineering/architecture industry working primarily with ACAD and Inventor which is how I've learned to do 3d modeling. However I have a BFA and am considering transitioning into 3D art using tools like Zbrush. What advice would you give someone like me about how to transition into this type of work? I'm currently not located in a town with a school that's listed on Pixelogic's "schools" page...

[@Gatz3D]

Hey! Great questions. For Zbrush I have been using a PC (laptop currently), but it works on some tablets, like the Microsoft Surface Pro 5 and up. If you want to do anything cpu intensive a tablet may struggle to keep up beyond a certain point. But using a tablet on the go for smaller work/practice is totally viable. As far as learning 3D Art goes, if you are more inclined toward using Autocad or similar programs, do what you’re comfortable with to create the work you want. There are plenty of successful artists out there that do the initial sketch/layout using Autocad and switch to Maya/Blender later to do their textures and rendering. Are you interested in learning sculpting? Or are you more curious about what Zbrush has to offer that other programs don’t? :)

[@berner]

Can you import images into Zbrush to sculpt on?

[@Gatz3D]

Heck yes you can. One way is to go to the Texture menu up top, go to import, select your image. Then go back to the texture menu and select the thumbnail of the image you just imported, and below that to the right is a button that says “Add to Spotlight”. Click that and you get a wheel menu and your image appears on screen. Use the wheel menu to move/scale/rotate your image into place. Press Z to toggle the wheel menu on/off, or press Shift+Z to toggle the spotlight on/off altogether. If you want to sculpt while using the spotlight you need to go to the Brush menu, go down to Samples, and turn Spotlight Projection off first. 👍 The second way to import images on all sides of your object is: Go to the Draw menu. Below the camera settings are the mini menus for Snap, Front-Back, Up-down, & Left-Right. Click where it says “Snapshot to grid” and it will allow you to start importing images. Click any of the options (Front-Back, Up-down, & Left-Right) to open that menu, and click Map 1. When the texture menu opens, select Import at the bottom left and choose any image. Adjust the scale of the image in the menu below Map 1. To turn an image off simply click Map 1 and select “Texture Off” at the top left. Hope this helps :)

[@steve00alt70]

How do you delete an entire object?

[@Gatz3D]

Zbrush sees individual mesh objects as Subtools. If you click on the Tool menu, then click Subtool, you can select a Subtool from the list and scroll down in the subtool menu to find buttons for duplicate or delete. If you have many subtools, a quick way to switch from one subtool to another is by holding Alt and left clicking on the desired subtool in your viewport. Deleting is permanent and can’t be undone with ctrl+z, so be sure you want that object gone for good. Hope this helps!

[@alaeddinmsetri4788]

I watched 5mn of a "beginner tutrotial" and i literally hated zbrush after ,5mn in this tuto and it's already much simpler

[@Gatz3D]

Thank you! Glad it's getting the point across 😅 Thanks for watching!

[@imphotodesigner905]

But how to learn this if it's available for free only for 14 days. To earn money on this you need time to be good at, but licese is very expensive... :(

[@GamerNaGringa]

For some reason I cannot click on Edit. =(

[@Gatz3D]

Sometimes Zbrush does this crazy thing before you turn on Edit mode. If you took the Simple brush and drew more than 1 primitive (sphere, cube, etc), try hitting Ctrl+N to clear your canvas, and then draw a new sphere. If you draw more than 1, Zbrush doesn’t let you turn on Edit mode. Hope this helps!!

Why is your face showing throughout the entire tutorial? I can understand at the beginning, but after that--? What is the benefit to the viewer? What about your appearance is Informative? Inspirational? Magical? All you do is cover up part of ZBrush's already dense UI. Please. Stop.
