ZBrush Braid Tutorial

In this tutorial I go through step by step how to make braids that look and act like real braids in ZBrush! Turn it into an IM brush • Braid Brush Tutorial -...
Should be easy to follow even for beginner level, but if you have any questions just ask :)
Follow me on / cobrabird1 for more sculpting and artwork!
Credits to art for games where I originally found the technique (could not find original source, if anyone has links let me know)

[@Sei783]

Since this is essentially a helix, it may be a simpler workflow to construct the base mesh in Maya, Max, or Blender using the helix primitive and then send it over to ZBrush.

[@hyphendash5815]

wow

[@coloneljcd6041]

wow.. looks amazing although I didnt understand most of it, a lil too advanced for me

[@Amphi_28]

Thanks for the tutorial. :) Do you think this could apply to hair that's utilizing hair cards to get a realistic look? The outcome as it is now seems to be more of a sculpted look rather than appearing to be actual hair strands.

[@cobrabird857]

I agree that this is more a sculpted look, but I think it could be used as a base and add planes on top of it. In theory it could be possible to create hair cards that follow the shapes of the single strands, but I do not dare to say how the result would turn out. If you try it please share the result :)

[@Amphi_28]

I fully plan to. I will be sure to let you know how it turns out! :)

[@ricarldoharris6037]

Do you know a way to make the hair pullied by the braids I have no ideas

[@cobrabird857]

I am not sure that I understand what you mean, could you explain a bit more what it is that you want to do?

[@114refresh]

cute

[@hombre0leg]

You definitely came from the planet of professors 🚀 .🔮. . . . . .

[@ashbash.2968]

Hey next time can you explain what you are pressing I know this is the old version but you haven't explain how to press the spheres themselves in the beginning.

[@555Devil555]

Very cool tutorial ;) Is it just me or did your English got a lot better ?

[@cobrabird857]

Haha thank you! My English depends alot on who I am talking to actually :p

[@555Devil555]

you sound more shy on stream :p

[@cobrabird857]

probably because I am being watched haha :p

[@555Devil555]

Yeah the pressure increases :p Nothing that you can´t improve on :)

[@DeSommeil]

Please explain : how can a straight braids become curved braids in the end of the videos ? HELP @@

[@cobrabird857]

I don't remember exactly how I did on this character but I think that I used a very large move brush and carefully moved it in big chunks so that it would not distort the details that I had made.

[@DeSommeil]

Cobrabird thanx u verymuch

[@ilmmall]

If you have R8, theres a deformer on the gizmo that will create a curve and you can edit that curve without having to deform the mesh directly. iI learned that trick from this video (its not a tutorial but you can follow along pretty well... kzbin.info/www/bejne/moXYgmaQj8p5maM

I thought braided hair looked great before now I hate it, what a pain to create in 3d.

[@aacreation9146]

You are so beautiful i love u

[@k0rb3n]

you are so cute :)

[@salmanramezani4784]

Stop using the taper .make your mesh seemless and then use as a curve and in curve function u can make it exactly like a braid hair :) . i made 8 braid hair curve brush and its selling good in artstation
