[@rishavanand1939]

Thank you so much for making such a detailed tutorial. This helped me a lot to understand the workflow and how stylized props are made. Would love more such in-depth tutorials from you.

[@RobotArmy3D]

Thanks for the kind comment, I'm glad this was of use. I would love to make more but it's hard to find the time around my day job, 3d tutorials only generate pennys😶

[@turtlelearns3d]

This was really great to watch. I never thought to use masking for the things you've done here!

[@RobotArmy3D]

great job man

[@RobotArmy3D]

Thanks!

[@bbffilm2514]

It was amazing! Please consider producing a course on stylized modeling.

[@RobotArmy3D]

I will continue to add more videos on here, but maybe I will produce an extended course on gumroad or similar, thanks!

[@lemcgpeersaldea8048]

GREAT Tutorial as always! one question tho how do you fix your UI with your brush on the left side?

[@furthergr884]

Nice tutorial! Can you tell me what did you do after mask-invert? I guess you did for isolating regions 15:21

[@pavelseer]

Thanx for good tutorial! But can u use soft what show your mouse clicks and keys. Its help us to understand what we can miss. Thanx again!

[@pryan520]

could you possible to demonstrate how to efficiently do the low poly after this sculpting, many thanks

[@RobotArmy3D]

Yes, I'll try to add the process to one of my next tutorials.

[@Dexxter_slav]

Great tutorial! How do you preserve the polys when you extrude from a mask? Mine just stretch out and when applying dynamesh, it just looks terrible. Alle edges get "destroyed".

[@RobotArmy3D]

Hmm, do you mean you get jagged edges around the extrude? you could use the Zmodeler brush to extrude poly selections, this is like an extrude in maya or such - or if you just want to drag an masked/unmasked selection (what I do normally) out then make sure there is enough resolution and soften the mask a little so that its not a 100% sharp line, this should give an extra few polys to stretch out so it's not too jagged, then you can stick a clay polish on there or use the hpolish to sharpen up those edges. Hope this helps.

[@Dexxter_slav]

@@RobotArmy3D thanks for your help ✌️

[@mitchellkaplansky8837]

Hi, great tutorial, is this mt_sculpey a custom material that you've done or did you get somewhere? thanks

[@RobotArmy3D]

Hi, most of the Matcaps I use can be found on the Pixologic website, I use a few from the "Matte" tab - pixologic.com/zbrush/downloadcenter/library/

[@Beliolas]

[@andasong9565]

I'm getting very jagged, stair-like edges when I make cracks at 3:45, will they be fixed if I do re-dynamesh? Or are there other ways to fix it? Thank you for the tutorial btw :D

[@RobotArmy3D]

You most likely just need a bit more resolution in the mesh, try subdividing it or dynameshing it a little higher before doing the cuts, they should then be cleaner. Cheers 👍

[@pilotgfx]

if you wonder why your clip curve locks to 60 degree cults, you need to press ALT ALT, to unlock the out-angle. many youtubers forget to mention the shortcuts they press, also they produce some stair-like, very jagged results, even at high divisions. but all in all nice tutorial

[@pilotgfx]

but i dont get why everything you make looks so smooth, despite level of polygons my creeks are extremly jaggy, especially at particular angles

[@RobotArmy3D]

I definitely get jagged edges and need to re-dynamesh, it's mostly planning, i try not to do clip curve after a certain stage or else i will have to re-dynamesh and that will reduce quality on any details i've made so far. often the cut i want to make doesn't work out so i'll have to make a shallow one or do something else entirely.

[@dalton3d363]

What's material do you use in this tutorial?

[@shittypodcast2309]

do you have an artstation ? :o

[@RobotArmy3D]

I do, but nothing on it right now!

[@mockimgiaotruong166]

I need help! I can't make the stroke look randomly thin and thick, its just equal from tip to toe :(

[@thanhthuytran2876]

i can not find the Orb - cracks brush, is there someone help me, thanks a bunch!

[@RobotArmy3D]

It doesn't come with zbrush, just google search Orb brush pack, i'm pretty sure he gives them away for free.

[@aureliocamarena5375]

when i try to clip my object like you did at 3:18 it just makes my object do something really weird and i cant figure out why its doing that

[@RobotArmy3D]

I'd need a little more info to problem solve that, or a screenshot. From what you said, it could possibly be that parts of your mesh are still very low poly, this will cause odd shapes to be made.

[@aureliocamarena5375]

@@RobotArmy3D ok, it was just low on resolution, I had to set my dynamesh really high to get good results. Thank you 😁

[@Turtleinthehole]

wth- zbrush is just press button = achieve

[@user-gz4tr6fu6l]

May I ask if you could share your shader?

[@RobotArmy3D]

All my materials and other zbrush bits can be found here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2XGpXmseb5obNU

[@91Haldo]

Hello, hope that some kind of good star will let u see this message :) Could you please tell how did you achieve that material? Wuold that possible for you to share it? Thank you :)

[@RobotArmy3D]

Do you mean the MatCap used in Zbrush? If so, most of the ones I use are available on the Pixologic site. The ones used here are either SCULPY or CHAV - find them under "Matte" section - pixologic.com/zbrush/downloadcenter/library/

[@91Haldo]

Yes the MatCap! It seems so shiny on the sculpted borders! Thank you so much for your attention!

[@dariusclawwolfenstein2807]

en donde puedo obtener esas brochas?

[@RobotArmy3D]

orb brush pack" its gumroad, they are free - gumroad.com/l/nokhw Aj brush pack - polycount.com/discussion/108970/stylized-zbrush-costom-brushes

[@dariusclawwolfenstein2807]

@@RobotArmy3D oh muchísimas gracias.

[@lightfgd]

My clip behavior is just too strange o-o

[@RobotArmy3D]

Hi, what's happening? Sometimes it's best to mask everything but the part you wish to clip. Or else you can often get errors. Also angles that are too sharp sometimes don't really do anything.
