Hair Sculpting for 3D Printing

Hey everyone, I would like to share my own custom Zbrush brush for sculpting hair for 3D printing and show you the process how to do it. It's bit different detailing technique compared to other hair brush I've found online, and it's really fast to create and edit for feedback. I hope you like it :)

Applying noise to the strands is such a genius way to break up the hair and add variations within seconds!! Thank you for sharing the free brush and making this tutorial!

[@AshishKumar-ry3lu]

I believe this is best use of curve brush for creating hair. Just doing the UVs before creating the brush makes the workflow superfast. Awesome !

[@Gustmazz]

Hey, just wanted to say: Thank you so much for making the brush and alpha texture available for free. This is a really awesome choice, and I want you to know that I appreciate it.

[@leliel2112]

The reason why the brush doesn't work properly without uv : You have to draw a brush on the unwraped mesh to maintain the uv of the brush. If you apply a brush to NOT UV mesh (Dynameshed mesh or anything), that hair Brush's UV disappears. so you going to ZRemesher -> Roughly Unwrap -> Stroke brush on unwraped mesh. Thank you so much for sharing these good tips. ^0^/

[@ecotech2624]

I can't find the roughly unwrap option.

[@tokimatsu]

I'm confused, how to add UVs a alpha inside a custom IMM brush file? @_@ im really curious... If i wanted to make my own hair brush for example, I'm clueless how i would be able to make it, and have same results like Tioxic brush.

[@osige]

@@tokimatsu ​ @Ecotech I was also having trouble with no UVs, but I solved the problem. I first set the UVs on the base model, inserted them into IMM, and the UVs were created.

[@zedabyu]

Thank you, this helped a lot! For those still having trouble, you can insert a sphere, block out the hair shape, create a UV map>UVs, then apply Tioxic's brushes on that separate mesh instead of the head. That way your hair brush's UV will stay and you can apply the noise accordingly.

[@Duranvolt]

Wow just read this comment after spending a couple hours putting down strands only to find the noise wasn't working. Good practice I guess lol. Thanks for the heads up!

[@dinoroar4071]

Never thought i can fell in love over a video, but you literally saved me! 🥺❤

[@user-lr5yt9pr1j]

I'm Korean. She doesn't speak English well, so she's using a translator. thank you so much for the video I am currently studying 3D and this is a really good video. I look forward to your wonderful work in the future.

[@yihoc2782]

Adding the hairline detail by noise maker is genius, thanks for sharing your way! Your sculpture is amazing too!

[@Remirem78]

Thank you very much for your generosity and your time in explaining the brush!

[@user-xq1rs3me2j]

What's the name of the brush???

[@CammyCosplay0]

This is the BEST hair tutorial i've ever seen, thank you so much for doing it! :'D

[@kyhiax5950]

Quick fix for people having troubles with surface because of uvs : Block out with the brush, GoZ or export to blender, mark your seams on every strands, Unwrap your uvs in blender then finally go back to Zbrush with the unwraped mesh and try. Worked for me I hope it will help some of you guys.

TI AMO you are THE LIGHT IN THE DARK

[@PhiBuuNguyen]

I've always been scrared of the transpose tool, this inspires me to learn it

[@emrelee]

great tip! I was sculpting each tiny hair by hand.. this will save me tons of suffering, that I can later on use it for giving the natural look to the strands. thanks!

[@monou]

your work is AMAZING. I'm in love with your statues for Prime1. Cheers from Brazil.

[@HenriqueTM337]

Thank you wanda for sharing this stuff

[@gutorpg]

God tier tuto! and free, insane!

[@oro1212]

For some reason, the texture on the surface is just straight lines and not repeating the curve of the hair. Any suggestion?

[@lazyng6631]

Very useful brushes, thank you for sharing

[@arielmarco8693]

It doesn't work for me, I don't know if it will be my version of zbrush. When loading the brush only one appears, it is not divided into 3 like an IMM curve :( I wish I could make it work thank you very much for your generous contribution

[@dexter5491]

THIS IS ABSOLUTE AMAZING

[@TheIcemanModdeler]

Thanks for sharing, there is also the other method of using same as u did with large clumps and them adding several hairs on the edge loops of the clump using a insert curve mesh. Having small hairs resting on a large surface will reinforce it for 3d printing, i don't think hair like this works for molding and casting tough.

[@Hurtone]

This was a very useful brush! Thanks!

[@GA-br8wj]

Very clever way of making nice hair

[@shayandutta2295]

The noise thing isn't working. When I open the alpha in noisemaker, it's showing in a distorted way.

[@billymaggot]

Thank you so much, this will help me a lot!

[@alexgabriel2591]

That's awesome, thank you!

[@shuaiqiwang7131]

[@tomoyaogawa4485]

Hello Wandah ! Thank you so much for the hair brush you used in this work! I watched your stream on the Pixologic and the Raiden breakdown video taught me so many things! so thank you! I have one question about matcap you use. In the Raiden breakdown video, you were using a " shader" matcap which is also located at the top of your UI in the video. Do you remember what is the name of the matcap and where you got that from?? that matcap looks really nice and I want to use it too. thank you in advance! and love your work so much!

How to do you avoid the vertical segment lines that noise maker puts on the mesh making the hair strands look like they are in segments rather than a continuous flow?

Hello i have a question, when you have already put the insermesh on un subtool without UV Is it possible to have alpha or is it too late? Thank you

[@Kennnyboy888]

awesome! thanks for sharing this dude

[@UnwantedSpirits]

Hi, I've been struggling with trying to use your brush. In your sample tool provided (hair on head) it has UVs on the brush being used, but when using the brush on another scene there are no UVs, so adding surface noise is very weird. Do you have a fix for this?

[@user-xq1rs3me2j]

What's the name of the brush??????

[@ourcettes]

The link is in the description

[@leesetiawan9540]

[@orpheus81k]

Very helpful ! thank you so much ! I really want to know more and how do you rendering your 3D model !

[@user-ol4js8hg3r]
