Keep checking the best tutorial how the 3D print can be set in ZBrush, man you explain it well. Thank you for your time to explain all this.

[@UncleJessy]

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing!

[@jaycejadiel7722]

I guess I am quite randomly asking but do anybody know a good website to watch newly released movies online ?

[@leonardharlan8666]

@Jayce Jadiel I use FlixZone. Just google for it :)

[@christianxander7953]

@Jayce Jadiel i watch on flixzone. Just search on google for it =)

[@julioemory8339]

@Jayce Jadiel i would suggest FlixZone. You can find it on google :)

[@simonethomson2871]

just starting to figure out this side of zbrush work, ty so much for breaking this down in such a clear and concise way. Absolutely have saved me hours of frustration.

[@C-M-E]

Definitely going to work this in!

Thank you it's really great!

[@jarabito001]

brilliant... just brilliant, thanks for sharing!

[@h3h3umm]

Very much appreciate this tutorial!

[@moogiibat5845]

After 3d printing few models, I came to a conclusion that the key should be bit smaller than the hole.

[@dragonkings01]

okay... adding you to my list. thank you. I see how you explaining the steps. thank you appreciated

[@ElRealPetChicken]

Awesome tutorial, awesome shirt bro. Thank you!

[@richmo5d]

Love it, thanks!

BRILLIANT!

[@bencoomer2000]

Nice. That'll come in handy.

[@zona_i3d]

Brilliant, thank You so much

[@teabagNBG]

nice tut, boolean is awesome, but shouldnt the key wich goes inside the hole o be a tiny bit smaller?

[@janscott602]

Very clever!

[@Haruyuki_Art]

[@KarelChytilArt]

Thanks man

[@redonsejdiu7721]

Great guy

[@cyborg251]

You are a GREAT teacher...compared to some others on Zbrush...thank you for doing this video! (One thing: why leave a gap in the body/head?)

[@foxxy706]

If it‘s for the purpose of 3D printing, especially for resin printing, you often leave a little room (1mm at most in my experience) because while curing the resin will grow or shrink depending on the resin and printer. For example your key might not fit into it‘s slot because the slot shrank a little during printing, and the key is now too big. I hope this explanation helps a little.

[@hazonku]

You sure do. I've learn from printing other's perfectly keyed models that because the resin or filament will shrink in the curing or printing process you're gonna end up filing & sanding if there isn't at least a little space.

[@tuanang7889]

Not sure if my point can come across but I wanna ask if this type of booleans could help hold the parts together under light shaking situations because we can clearly for example put the arm key into the hole on the shoulder easily and they perfectly fit but will it be tight enough to hold the parts and the arm not fall out.

[@TimV777]

I think you have to glue it

[@teabagNBG]

@@TimV777 depends... there are a ton of different joints/keys.. the one from the video is for using glue.. but if they round u can make them snap fit..

[@bigboomer1013]

How can you make joint cutters? Those things are very complex. Want to make a double ball joint one

[@austinbrown2432]

My cut-ins aren’t showing up.

[@rosumparat]

Not bad, but this works only on T poses. What if I have a more complex mesh with a dynamic pose, that I want to use for a diorama?

[@Glitch-Gremlin]

This will work on any sort of pose. You just need to key it like he showed how. Its all about splitting the model up, is all. Ive literally used this method dozens of times now.

[@8304u]

[@chrissmith461]

dose anyone know the link to get the kays and articulation brushes on gumroad? I can't seem to find it.

[@MaxonZBrush]

You can find them here: aiman3d.gumroad.com/l/keysart

[@mahmoudzaefi2958]

why do you use infalte in 5:25?

[@clay-sculpting]

Dynamesh seems to be no solution, when it comes to high-detail models. Any details will get lost after that. Any advice?

[@littletoysmaker]

jajajaja fantastic tips, especially the last one Thanks for the video. 🙏

[@francivalterlimapereira2943]

showwwww de dica .

[@alfredo9770]

Excellent, watched many tutos about cutters, yours top of them!

[@TimV777]

Those seams though

[@Benjamin-vx2ot]

i am no "expert" at all, but isnt that gap "big"? o.O
