For anyone who didn't catch the name of the curve brushes I use most: "CurveStrapSnap" (Belts), "CurveTube"(Edges), "IMM ArmyCurve" (Bullets), "IMM Curve" (Miscellaneous) - Those all come out of the box by default in ZBrush, and I HIGHLY recommend using them in your project as fast as possible! Literally takes seconds to make things that take hours in other software :)

[@glacierfox5237]

what about the brush you use for onimental details?

[@TheRoyalSkies]

@@glacierfox5237 Those are custom brushes I created specifically for ornamental armor, I'll talk about those in the next few videos -

[@MysteryFinery]

what about when you frame border and get 2 curves on your edgeloop, how do I delete one of those curves? alt seems to delete both simultaneously.

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

Interesting nice to see everything is going to plan

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

Yeah it's quite unfourtunate

[@StarrCreations]

Dude you rule. Straight to the point, lots of info, fast paced, bip, bop, boom, bap, pow. Make these for everything. Thank you.

[@fortitudetrainingsystems8823]

I think I've just found myself my new favourite KZbin page! Finally straight to the point Zbrush tutorials that doesn't start off with the presenter boring you to death talking about his life story. Thank you sir 😃👏

[@ethan-gk6py]

i dont even have zbrush i just love listening to your voiceovers and watching the funny seatbelt move

[@MartinSorensen3d]

now we are getting to the videoes even us zbrush oldtimers can use, alot of refreshers, or even new additions that weve missed from the tons of presentations theyve had, adding stuff over the years. These are going to be great resources in years to come. Thank you man! Quality content!

[@lucas-correa]

I can't say it enough. Your videos are the most direct to the point, enjoyable videos ever. Thank you for this

[@joywritr]

Great tutorial. Curves are what first interested me in Zbrush too. Some of the ones on Artstation are amazing; snakes, chains, even fully detailed creature tails that are a million+ polys.

[@jinchoung]

nice. i loooooooove these kinds of iain hubertish like "get to the point in a hurry" kind of stuff. keep it up!

[@Nexxorcist]

going from blender to zbrush, these have been so helpful. thank you!

[@mithun0984]

So awesome..very useful info put crisp and concise in under 5 minutes.Genius!

[@glacierfox5237]

I knew most of the stuff you could do with Curves as I just started to play with them because of anime hair but I 100% wished I knew about the curve wrap around an object months ago when trying to make a dang belt from my character's pants. it was a paint cause of the inside faces.

[@mposssible7726]

One of best ways to make anime hair is by traditional modeling with reference in orthographic at first. Then you Dynomesh in ZB, shape the strands how you want to just make sure backface masking is turned on and retopo it. It gives the most interesting results as you can blend strands with each other in some parts of the head, while other parts can have separate smaller strands PDD Dzung and Ucupumar are just couple of artists who I believe don't use curve meshes for hair these days And Dzung was character desighner for Subverse game, he also has a tutorial of rigging hair like that

[@florian9833]

Great video! Compact and features everything important. Thanks!

[@andriimargita715]

Officially the best tutorial EVER!

[@darkmagicwolf]

Keep up these ZBrush tutorials! They are by far the best, most concise and most well explained ZBrush features tutorials. Thank you for making these!

[@slamm600]

Its amazing how dense you can pack 5 min. Nice work

[@hanibalporte88]

You, sir, are a god-sent! I was about to karate chop my PC - IMM brushes weren't behaving. Now, thanks to you, I'm mastering them!

[@facultativeworks1908]

very useful tutorial, and I like that it's short:) thank you so much

[@mikart3d]

Cool and fast tips, thanks bro! Keep 'em coming...

[@mhumienny]

Whata speed tutorial, the info is soooo condensed but great! I love it! :)

[@3dtrip870]

Dude, This was great! Thanks so much!

[@AttakuStudio]

This dude is the GOAT!!! I wish I could make such great tutorials for our animation plugins

[@adampaviacorp.6780]

WOW. Thankyou so much

[@zackrobat]

Wow, some very sweet and impressive features! Your speed of knowledge acquisition is also pretty extreme. I'd love to see a video on your approach to learning at some point.

[@XtrimUniverse]

Damm you are life saver once again !! Dude you are freakin awesome !!

[@mlv617]

Thank You!

[@jafaime]

great video a lot of good info

[@Ahoy123]

bro you are really amazing guy

[@vozesnaminhacabeca810]

It would be interesting to add the Picker palette, as it has options that affect curves. In addition to the repel options in the stroke palette.

[@Limbo_Design]

tysm

[@gustavodelance1826]

Amazing video

[@spacecaptainspace]

Bless you. Bless you sir

[@turbo_kats]

I have learned so much in such a short time my head hurts. Before this ,all I knew was that the curve brush existed lol

[@junzheng254]

Why put CURVE MODIFIER function in separate places, one in STROKE, one in BRUSH. Does this organization to confuse people?

[@farzadrabei]

wow thank you

[@thenamelessone123]

so so so so so VALUABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@christuusgnosis]

I hope you keep making zbrush tuts

[@NHATUAN-yq5cn]

WOW. hank you

[@therealKrak]

*Curve Wrap TIPS & QUESTIONS* : Tips: - Make sure the mesh you project the curve onto doesn't have too many polygons and isn't dynameshed _else zBrush will start lagging_ - Turn *_Lazy Mouse_* off _else it will bug around like crazy and most probably won't work at all_ (I am using zBrush 2022 hopefully they fixed this issue in later versions) Questions: - How do I snap the curve on an axis? - Why doesn't it work properly with *_Lazy Mouse_* turned on?

[@rushikeshmunde763]

thanks

[@pelakalion]

Amazing tut bro, it seems like it lasts ten minutes instead of five :)

[@cutescarydolls]

PARA CurveMultiTube imitando soportes chitubox: 0:36 cambiar tamaño, usar barra espaciadora dobleclick en dynamic para minimizar tamaño respecto al canvas 1:01 ALT para borrar 1:15 mover entremedio, aumentar brocha para abarcar mas 1:27 agarrar DEL PRINCIPIO para moverlo entero, agarrar DEL FINAL se mueve como serpiente 1:43 Stroke/Curve/ELASTIC para estirar en recto 1:54 Stroke/Curve/LIQUID para encoger 2:06 Stroke/Curve Funcions/SMOOTH para suavizar la curva 2:50 ajustar tamaño

[@ollicron7397]

To rotate the curve you need to click first then hold control, it took me a bit to figure that out.

[@Shelly_W]

omg THANK YOU. that part was driving me nuts lol

[@kriegs8315]

yes

[@_s_s_world_]

the only tutorial channel that i watch on 0,25 speed )

[@cnu73]

Bro, any way to make an IMM curve brush to make a 90-degree sharp angle while drawing on the canvas? (without using polygroups etc.)

[@cyrusramsey4741]

Can you modify a previously generated curve, say for instance you've already drawn several curves but want to adust one or more of the earlier curves.

[@genlee2354]

Thanks for this video.But one more problem：When you use “Frame Mesh” to create multiple curve onetime，how to set all curve start point in same direction？

[@andrewkong2748]

for that last part with the ninja star looking thing, can you have them stack horizontally?

[@SherKhanShani]

Using Curve pinch how to shape it before apply stroke? Like after i draw Curve pinch it doesn't look do so i want to use move brush and move around to make it nice shape and then apply a stroke. Hope that make since

[@hazmodanCola]

If I could like this video more than once I would.

[@ingameswetrust9812]

hello sir ! pls help, I have a problem with the imm curve of the brush. In the stroke tab, the "as line" menu is not activated, but when I try to draw, it still gives me a straight line, where do I have to change the parameters

[@afrinaut3094]

Does anybody know how to control how many objects there are or their spacing in one's custom imm curve brush? I love the tool, but it clumps them together wayh to much.

[@maxungar516]

1:00 for deleting the curve, it only worked when i dragged downward, not upward. not sure if anyone else might be having this issue

[@antarasengupta9000]

when I am making a hair curve, it is created from the bottom end first then the starting point of the hair strand. what to do to reverse it?

[@RDD87z]

its sad that after 20 years the curves still dont have controllers like bezier curves... such a powerful program and is lacking a very useful tool

[@j_shelby_damnwird]

It's sad that after 20 years ZBrush's UI is the basically the same convoluted mess --but Maxon charges subscriptions as if it's "state of the art software"

[@zshawn676]

what happen to me really strange is under Stroke_curve_bend start doesnt do anything, do you know why?

[@clepzarellano1926]

the twister does not work for me :(

[@gautamsoni27]

hello@royal skies i want to learn z brush from u u are amazing pls reply

[@Lyco0n]

Only thing missing is start,middle and end object for curves and while creating curve brush

[@user-fl1ql3zi4i]

How to adjust the spacing/number of segments of IMM brushes?

[@ilidanhunter9726]

The video is good but doesnt cover my issue that i cant seem to find a solution to. For me , deleting a curve doesnt delete the mesh. Also i cant find any way to select a previous drawn curve to edit it later. I am trying to make some sort of wolf hair using the curve for stylized hair but i cannot seem to make anything work. I made the model in Maya and i want to add the hair using Zbrush as it seems is way more capable for what i want yet nothing works. How do i select previous curves ? How do i delete one and delete its mesh too ?

[@rodroeq7956]

The best tutorial for making straps is freaking hidden inside this video 😱😱

[@redcossack3943]

When trying to put the strap around leg, if I click Split to Masked Points, everything but the strap disappears. I spent 20 minutes replaying and trying to figure out my mistake. Any ideas?

[@tehprimelime1063]

I will never forgive you for saying "Naught a problem!" ...........Fucking stuck in my head after all these years!

[@yuezhang5551]

The twist won't work, anybody knows why? I remembered it worked before

[@Creepiestofcryptids]

When I click on IMM curve, all it draws is a line, even when i select the type of object I want.

[@XtrimUniverse]

MAYYNN where the hell have you been this long??? Why I didn't find you before today?????????????????????

[@irkendragon]

@2:14 I find smoothing the Curve by holding down Shift and left mouse button doesn't smooth the curve, it smooths the geometry. Similarly at 1:36 Twisting the curve doesn't work, Ctrl+Left click drag while the mouse is blue just makes me draw a mask on the Curve mesh.

[@hugozaaijer3922]

did you ever find a fix to this?

[@ezrasavage]

Did you find a fix to this? I'm having this issue as well

[@GaDawg84]

Can all this work with hair brushes as well?

[@TheRoyalSkies]

Absolutely, A lot of people make their own custom hair brushes with this type of tool -

[@runsbuns3675]

how to make the custom curve brush but like a poly face with welded ends? not segmented

[@runsbuns3675]

need a quick 30 second vid lol

[@runsbuns3675]

or a short

[@yo-ht5jb]

omg

[@darrennew8211]

I bet you can make a blender add-on for much of that. :-)

[@tlilmiztli]

That is Blender fan at its best - even if nothing like this is in Blender - "but it COULD be!" XD

[@darrennew8211]

@@tlilmiztli Given we have things like CAD Sketcher that uses geometry nodes to add FreeCAD-like sketches that you can later go back and edit, I think making brushes like this would be pretty easy in comparison. (Check out Maker Tales for some really amazing plug-ins that you wouldn't think are possible.)

[@artmosphereID]

curve in zbrush is sooo hard to controll :((

[@wolfmask8606]

The more I know about this program, the more I get the feeling that it is made by a psychopath with schizophrenia
