PERSONALIZE YOUR ZBRUSH IMMs

[@ArmoredColony]

I forgot but you can also Append a subtool to an existing IMM: Brush>Create>Create IMM>Append

Just purchased and didn't know about these shortcuts in Zbrush. Thank you =D

[@ArmoredColony]

Thanks a lot for your support and I'm glad I could help. I'm currently trying to record a quick concept in ZBrush using this pack as a demo. Hopefully I don't get distracted so I can upload it to youtube.

@@ArmoredColony you’re welcome :) And if I remember to, I’ll reply and let you know when I’ve uploaded a video of the completed model with the muscles :)

[@ArmoredColony]

That would be wonderful, even though I already subscribed to you the other day.

Nice folders :3

I hate to ask such a newb Q Armored, BUT, any chance I could get an explanation on how you set up your muscles for texturing in zbrush? like a walk-through on this mate? Thanks so much!

[@ArmoredColony]

Its all cool. Personally, I would never texture with ZBrush. Maybe some basic polypaint to identify different parts of a character (undersuit vs armor plating for example), but that's it. If I need textures I will use Triplanar Projection in Blender. If you look at my ZBrush UI I actually removed the texture slot :p Some people export to Substance Painter but I'm too lazy to do that.

[@DaCapitalist1]

@@ArmoredColony Ahhh Okay! Well in that case.. If I may pry a bit.. I love how you textured and rendered out your final images on these muscles mate. Any chance for a process video that shows us your workflow on these? Love it!

[@ArmoredColony]

@DaCapitalist oh, it's super simple. I didn't even texture anything. Just basic blender materials. I could make a video but in the meantime, if you follow the Cyber Muscle link in the description and click the Preview button on the product page, it should download a sample Blender file that might shed a bit of light. It won't tell the whole story (I do color correction in a different program called Exposure X by Alien Skin) but it should help a bit.

@@ArmoredColony I already purchased the whole shaBang haha! love your work mate! really do! im trying to learn how to best texture these pieces after manipulation in zBrush.

[@ArmoredColony]

Thanks for the support. I will make a video then.

[@EduardoFlores-uk4ys]

where can I buy them friend? the page does not appear

[@ArmoredColony]

@EduardoFlores-uk4ys - hi friend, you can get them from a few places: armoredcolony.com/b/cybermuscles Or ArtStation: artstn.co/m/mjx5V

Hi, out of curiosity, what monitor size and resolution do you use? Judging by the blender script video I guess it's a QHD 34inch ultrawide, and for some videos you record 16:9 right? Thanks

[@ArmoredColony]

Good eye. I primarily use a 3440x1440 Ultrawide (which I usually crop to 2550x1440 for youtube). And I have a secondary Pen Display that I use for sculpting (only 1920x1080). Depending on what I'm doing, I will sometimes record one or the other.

[@ArmoredColony]

Oh, and ZBrush let's you reduce the UI size (which I did), plus it's it's on the ultrawide for this video, so all the buttons look microscopic XD

@@ArmoredColony Acabo de recordar que eres de México, me siento tonta por hablar en inglés siendo yo de españa jajajsj Tiene sentido lo de los botones minúsculos, yo tengo una tableta y no soporto los elementos muy grandes, por eso estaba viendo de comprarme un monitor 2K, casi lo prefiero por el dolor de cuello de usar la tableta

[@ArmoredColony]

Haha, sip. A veces es suficiente disminuir la escala de la interfaz, para simular que tienes una pantalla más grande (cuando no tiene uno mucho dinero).

[@ArmoredColony]

La verdad, a veces quiero comprar un monitor más grande todavía, pero no hay muchas opciones buenas.

noice and thank u
