In this 3d sculpting time-laps, I create a Xenomorph from the Aliens franchise in zbrush.
If you are a fan of the movies and games, then you will love this tutorial. In this video I show you how to create a detailed model from start to finish, this video takes you through every step of the sculpting process from initial blocking to final sculpt.
I even show you how I prep the model for 3d printing in parts.

[@JoshuaRilliet]

Hi and thanks for sharing the creation of this xenomorph figurine, I'm a fan of the saga and I have to admit that your creature has nothing to envy to some I've seen on stl file sites, you've done a superb job and Gieger would, I think, be pleased to see that creators/computer sculptors continue to produce Aliens over the years under his inspiration.

[@PrintedObsession]

Thank you for the kind words ^_^.

[@321357w]

Awesome sculpt, love to see more Aliens and also Predators.

[@PrintedObsession]

More to come!

[@guspid3d]

Me parece increible!!!!

[@PrintedObsession]

Thank you

[@GregorifElfeNoir]

I likeds it ! Full disclosure : I did skip from around 10:00 to 17:45 as I felt I had seen enough of the sculpting to "get it", but wanted to see the posing and the rest

[@PrintedObsession]

Thank you that's helpful. I was debating cutting a chunk to being it down.

[@GregorifElfeNoir]

@@PrintedObsession If there are details you want to show but showing all of it would be long, you might do a Picture in Picture effect of split the screen in 4 and show multiple parts of the body being done at the same time

[@telematicaciop5627]

EXCELENTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[@PrintedObsession]

thanks my dude. ^_^

[@user-fw5uh5ne3o]

Audio is shifted to left which feels weird

[@PrintedObsession]

humm... i didnt notice that, ill look into it. Thanks

[@dutchie6966]

A true artist at work . Really really good work and a joy to watch and listen.

[@PrintedObsession]

glad you enjoyed it.

[@TheAngelArrow]

i wasn't sure how good this guy was until he said this only took 4-5 hours okay man, no need to flex on me so hard :')

[@PrintedObsession]

Gotta go fast. thanks for the compliment.

[@telefrag.]

What do you think about Transpose Master plugin for posing, does it not fit your workflow well?

[@PrintedObsession]

err its not a tool ive used before ill give it a look.

[@oscarcampbellhobson]

Would have been cool if you’d used the tail to balance the model

[@PrintedObsession]

maybe next time.

[@dinkus7457]

Nice video, I only have one suggestion, maybe have audio stereo? It's currently only on the left channel.

[@PrintedObsession]

ah shoot i thought i had fixed that. ill look into it. thanks

[@desventurado]

You are SO AWESOME! Do you have any course of modeling? I really would like to learn ZBrush with you!

[@PrintedObsession]

Not yet! but i was starting to look into making some one topic ones soon.

[@hamidsalami7022]

Great tutorial. thanks. do you have any courses for creature design in zbrush?!

[@PrintedObsession]

not yet. its on the todo list.

[@carlhdz8201]

4:06 awesome tutorial but can you explain detailed how did you made this array?please

[@PrintedObsession]

hold down crtl in transpose. move it a distance then let go of ctrl and keep moving. it will create an array.

[@sixstringslayaguitarman419]

Awesome Job! The Alien looks so cool! I tried to do the technique where you made that spine, holding shift and drag a straight line out in various parts. I cant get it to work. When I use the gizmo and hold shift and drag, nothing happens other than the part dragging. It doesn't replicate like yours did. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks and just subscribed. :)

[@PrintedObsession]

hold Ctrl to drag out one, then let go of Ctrl to drag out multiple. ill have to go back and correct that if i said shift not Ctrl. I learned it from this video - kzbin.infow9uU-PqSrLo?feature=share

[@felixwichmann8629]

Is there a way to get the material you are using?

[@PrintedObsession]

its just an AO layer, and a few cavity maps to make it look like that. i think i used the plastic dusty smart material to start .

[@carlosgazeta]

Where can I find this human basemesh?

[@PrintedObsession]

cubebrush has a few good ones for sale. cubebrush.co/

[@kutkuknight]

This is incredible work!!! Super motivating and informativ etoo :) Im new to Zbrush, whats that thing called where you can blend out different parts but only by making them translucent? And how come you can mask and work on 2 seperate subtools at times?

[@PrintedObsession]

do you mean using the transpose tool to move multiple subtools? there's a good tutorial on the zbrush gimbal which should show how on zclassroom.

[@joshrose2]

What program is this?

[@PrintedObsession]

zbrush
