Handcraft Better Skin Details in Zbrush

Catch the full 4-hour version of this class including a detailed step-by-step demonstration @ outgang.studio/learn/
This video demonstrates a layered-approach to different types of tertiary (skin) details in Zbrush. We start from a head that has been sketched in Dynamesh and afterward converted to subdivisions using Zwrap. From there we explain how the layer system of Zbrush can be used to organize and blend a wide range of skin details.

[@dreamzdziner8484]

Started learning Zbrush only 3days back so I know this tutorial is way over my league. But the way you were explaining everything was so fascinating that I didn't even skip a sec. You are an excellent artist and an awesome teacher. Subbed you 🙂

[@Outgang]

Thank you Dreamz.

[@XsK5]

There are so many 3D and art channels on KZbin, but it is so rare to find a really good one. Thank you very much for this. You have a new subscriber :)

[@Outgang]

Thanks a lot for the kind words :)

[@pshoplover]

You have beautiful bone structure. You should model or model yourself in 3D. A lot of people envy such strong structures. BTW you are very talented too

[@Outgang]

You're making me blush haha. Thanks for the comment!

[@jack-hale]

really helpful. Just curious as to how you make these skin patterns in the first place. noise maker?

[@emrahozcicek2875]

Thats great, thank you very much

[@CekTopGaZa1988]

I sculpt in Blender. But learned a lot. Thanks!

[@mattzart]

Im new to zBrush. I have some questions: I use dynamesh a lot, but I've noticed it does not retain tertiary details like pores and such. Does this mean I need to work with subdivision instead at that point? Also, what can I do to the model to make it better to paint in Armor Paint? Sometimes I export the OBJs and import into armor paint and they look cracked or wet.

[@riccardomorvillo8752]

love it

[@pawanbangera2050]

3D model looks greatt

[@alifstarfath]

[@AdesGamingHere]

[@Noob12369]

wow!!!

[@Outgang]

Let's party like its 1999

[@eruuzy]

Hi , i wasnt able to find the dam standard tube brush can you share a link maybe? tia

[@Outgang]

It's the DAM standard "2" brush. Sounds like tube I know! Google that and you'll find it easily.

[@bmann78]

Great tutorial. But how are you using clay tubes to polish or rather what settings are you applying to the brush in order to use it the way you're using it?

[@Outgang]

My settings for Claytubes are: Alpha->Blur set to 15, Stroke->Roll Dist to 6 and Brush->Depth->Imbed to 0. The effect is similar (if not exacly the same as) some of the Trim brushes such as TrimDynamic, so for some it's easier to use the Trim brushes to polish as opposed to the modified clay tubes brush I use. Fun fact, the trim brushes are actually modified Clay brushes with an imbed set to 0.

[@bmann78]

@@Outgang thank you for taking the time to reply👍

[@ZephrusPrime]

Whenever I use layers for tertiary details, it's zaps my ram so fast even though I have 32g.

[@rizalsuhaimi3282]

Where can I get a set of high quality close up shots of skin details?

[@Outgang]

Both 3dScanStore and TexturingXYZ has some really high-res data if you're looking for 3d references. 3dsk has some interesting stuff too. For my part, I just use Google and randomly grab pictures off the web.

[@KountKasper]

Is there a video where she shows her set up, i want to see how her tablet is set up for standing.

[@Outgang]

Hey Kasper! Laura here. There isn't one but it's a great idea for a future video :)

[@KountKasper]

@@Outgang Thanks Laura

[@Xdarkness83x]

Hey, awesome work! You were saying you made thzt character in 2 hours, whole structure or just details ? Also, do you have an artstation ?

[@Xdarkness83x]

My bad, looked at the description ^^'

[@Ramanantitus]

Ok it's Dam standard 2 brush right? Cause the caption says toothbrush which confused me😐

[@Outgang]

Yeah, captions are auto-generated and I suspect they haven't been trained to recognize 3d art jargon haha.

[@MrMarcowally]

did anyone find dam standard tubes? can't find it anywhere

[@Outgang]

It's the DAM standard "2" brush. Sounds like "tube" I know! Google that and you'll find it easily.

[@NOF4C3]

Does giving detailed pores very taxing for a game? Does it affect game performance?

[@Outgang]

No we typically can afford big textures for main character faces.

[@flexcg675]

how u aded more details in subdiv mode? with HD Details?

[@Outgang]

No just subdividing the mesh to be really high res. I think the head is around 40 mil triangles or so.

[@birnur7]

Damn gurl you are beautiful

[@turtle_express8385]

im confused u a man or woman? not being rude
