Just to sum up the differences, the traditional method is more simple, but the new method generally gets cleaner results - Hope that helps :)

[@rosumparat]

Probably the best zbrush tutorials around. Clear, fast and on point.

[@darrennew8211]

I love how for this *and* Blender you always present multiple ways of doing it and discuss the trade-offs.

[@sway71]

Dude, that is slick. I especially like that you showed both methods. I wasn't onboard with the second method until I saw how much kinder it would be on your pipeline. Thanks again!

[@lucasmoreira3237]

These 2 minutes tutorials are incredible. Thank you!

[@MissNixable]

Thank you for these tutorials! I've been trying to get back into zbrush and these have made it less daunting

[@Gatz3D]

Love this 👍 Always appreciate your tutorials. Easy to follow and straight to the point.

[@elmillo10]

Why did I just discover this channel? Thank you so much for everything.

[@josefriecken]

Omfg this was so helpful. I’m getting into doing miniatures and got easily lost in 30-45 min videos when I just needed bits from them. 10/10 Thank you so much.

[@jjjproductionz2834]

Yes I was thinking The same thing💪

[@kenhiguchi2144]

The extraction looks extremely useful

[@milkbread5036]

so helpful and straight to the point! thank you!

[@tsechee]

Clear, fast and on point.

[@ahmetkaanakay7791]

Thanks a lot man! This is definitely a lot of good information in such short video !

[@esteBAM979]

So useful! Thanks for both methods!

[@Osmozis1]

Great stuff, thanks!!

[@RedninjaMultimediaProductions]

Whoa! I didn't know about this method! Thanks!!!

[@gianniroden8155]

Many thanks. Very helpful

[@AS-ym2bp]

If you have Zbrush 2021.7 or more you can also use the mesh project brush to create faster new geometry on your existing mesh. Basically extract feature but with a brush and much faster.

[@ninipop82]

This is so good

[@tlilmiztli]

Another great one :) Watching as ZB user :)

[@szkrukowski]

thx. Fast and to the point

[@jacketvan1156]

2 minutes no bullshit. Awesome! Big thanks!

[@jbiziou]

Great tips ! :)

[@arnulfovazquez]

thank u :D

[@carlhdz8201]

FANTASTIC!!! i give you just 1 like, but thousand of thanks!!!!!!

[@jaimevaldeiglesias829]

no a proooblem! bro you are so helpfull!

[@brandy1999]

Holy shit, an actual concise and useful tutorial thats not 11 mins long with 90% of which is irrelevant filler. I must be dreaming

[@realMysta]

Holy crap - This is the type of tutorial i've always wanted, I hate when someone just shows you how to do it and not explain what the options are, or it takes like 3 hours to get through each part. Do you have something similar for removing a part(so if the armor was part of the arm already and you wanted to separate it into a new part?

[@kriegs8315]

Yes

[@NickEnchev]

Safe to say that if you're extracting and then planning on dynameshing, you can just go with method 1.

[@jorgealejandrodelagarzacam901]

Very interesiting. And then how do we make the polygroup into a new object with the second method?

[@yo-ht5jb]

danm nice men

[@reichreiner9481]

my go to channel when stuck

[@Ikxi]

👍

[@davidtaylor8195]

Going the panel loops workflow, how do i seperate the armor mesh? As soon as i click panel loops it shows the body that was hidden and they are still same subtool.

[@zephirius]

🙏🙏🙏

[@Papy1s2]

hey bro im need help, can this be done in 3d software like maya, and does these workflow need retopology again? thanks for the video tho

[@DariusYoung]

How do I delete the rest of the duplicated mesh. I made the armor plate but now I have a whole other body do deal with lol. Thanks in advance, you sir are fantastic!!!!!!

[@matheusalves6660]

Once you have the polygroup you can mask it and delet it

[@calebj7205]

Great tutorial, thanks! At 1:42, how do you go from the panel-loop mesh (which still contains the masked skin of the character underneath) to isolating the newly constructed mesh (without the masked skin of the character)? 'Split unmasked points' doesnt work. Thanks a lot! 🙂

[@calebj7205]

Found the answer. I had to go to 'Polygroups' then 'Auto Groups'. Thanks again for the very useful tutorials!

[@jjjproductionz2834]

💯❤️💪

[@tsechee]

can you explain how to export texture from substance painter to zbrush?

[@lego1168]

So how do we get rid of everything besides the masked area?

[@junzheng254]

In English, if one wants to find EXTRACT, would one search EDGE LOOP? ZBrush Does not need to duplicate similar function for EXTRACT. Please make the existing commands better and get rid of ALL DUPLICATED COMMAND, make clean and simplified UI.

Also CRTL W (poly group from mask) just does not work.

[@jorgealejandrodelagarzacam901]

Did you figure it out? I'm having the same problem
