ZBrush for iPad: General Sketching Workflow

[@alanhuang8165]

@Pablo Muñoz Gómez The most detailed and helpful ZBrush for iPad tutorial video I've seen so far!Thanks!

cheers! glad you find it useful

[@DafSpi]

I just got ZBrush for iPad and I love it! I come from Nomad Sculpt but I must say I love ZBrush’s intuitive interface and advanced features. I think I will use both Nomad and ZBrush in my projects. By the way, your tutorial was very helpful to get me started 👍

[@kooliez123]

this video was so eye opening - thankyou. would love more like this, taking something from a sketch to a finished product

thanks! yeah I'm planning something to show a proper concept not the 'rubbish sketch' I did here ahaha

[@daividzur1146]

Thank you so much for those tips and tuts! They really helped do my first steps with the Zbrush for iPad ;)

[@darkcult99]

This was fantastic! More please.

[@tarobug2560]

This is wonderful! Will you ever do a series on the free version?

Cheers, yeah 👍

[@hen_ryk]

Nice! Thx for sharing.

No problem!

[@nmlyons24]

incredible tut. thanks so much

no worries!

[@curiyas]

This video is quite helpful and you show a ton of different things. However, it would be easier to follow along if you didn't jump back and forth between the thing you are showing and other neat features at the same time. It's hard to keep up.. I thought I accidently set the video speed too high but I guess you are just keeping a high pace. Maybe slowing down and splitting the video into shorter digestible videos would make it easier. Anyway, I didn't come here to complain, I appreciate that you are doing these videos and show us how to do it. Thank you!

Hi Pablo, great video series. Love the way you’ve organised your quick menus. Any chance you can post some images so we can replicate for ourselves. Cheers.

cheers! sure I'll share some images. to be honest is very similar to what I have in my custom UI in the PC version so you can use this video as reference for the features I put in the custom palette: kzbin.info/www/bejne/habOhZyIn8qsitk

[@cfriedalek]

Thanks for reminding me of your earlier UI video. I’d forgotten about that. Will check it out. Cheers

[@cfriedalek]

Watched your desktop Custom UI but a lot of detail so mapping to iPad would be tough. So I went through the iPad custom UI part at 0.25x speed. Could figure out the UI from there and replicate in the iPad. Thanks again. Nice and simple. Cheers

[@abebarrera]

thanks for the video really helpful how do we install custom brushes you have created that i've purchase from you?

just import them into the ipad in a folder and then click on the import > brushes from the ZBrush app and select them (you might have to do one by one)

[@darkowoolf8673]

Hope there will be more iPad tutorials (Nomad user here).

I'm planning a quick workshop to help people get started

[@anilo1]

I want to bring a character from ZBrush to Unity for animation. Can you provide guidance on how to reduce polycount and import into Unity. I've heard that Zremesher would help and some work would be needed on Retopology. But, Im not sure how it all works.

[@RobNickel001]

Hi there - Kind of new to 3D design here and have limited knowledge of Zbrush. I’m just trying to follow along with what you’re doing. Right off the top, when I add the cylinder, it seems to attach itself to the sphere ie: I can’t resize or move the Cyl. separate of the sphere, both objects resize and move together. Any thoughts? Thanks!!

[@kourtne9]

Amazing that it doesn’t crash and close for you like it does for me on a brand new iPad Pro.

[@CharacterDev77]

How did you get the iPad to show the touch?

[@levraichris3321]

Look at his previous video, it's in the settings

[@danteburritar2822]

Which ipad pro generation are you using?

I think is gen 3. I got it new in 2020

[@ezequi889]

Is it possible to add thickness to a mesh since there is no longer the zmodeller in the ipad version?

use the thickness from the Dynamic subdivision feaure ;)

[@ezequi889]

thanks!

[@animaldenminies]

Nice video, thank you! I just wanted to ask, since no one is responding to this issue on zbrush discord, did try using transpose master? Every time I go to tpose mesh and then want to go back to sub t it doesn't work.. I just the error saying ''zscript note: Interface item could not be found''. I'm not the only one with the same problem. Seems to work just fine with the demo soldier though, weird..

[@animaldenminies]

edit: they said to first open the default sphere then import my ztool from there and it works fine 😅

[@cok3y]

Hi is it possible to show a performance difference breakdown between zbrush on the latest ipad mini, ipad air, the entry level ipad pro, and the maxed out ipad pro? I'm curious as to if there is any real difference especially with an ipad pro with 8gb ram and 16gb ram

I would if I had all those devices to test it haha

[@bianomib]

Hello good afternoon Mr. Munoz, could you tell me which tool I use to specify the size of the part when exporting it for 3D printing?

[@gideonaggrey27]

Hi, does it heat up after extended use?

[@levraichris3321]

my Ipad was a bit warm after trying it yesterday (IPad M4) but it's totally fine tbh.

I have a thin cover and I don't feel any heat... it might get warm but is not an issue

[@arseny4709]

How to change document size? because after export image is too small, please help

[@stowlo]

I was going to say you need to get your synergy rolling with the new Alien movie and bust out those brushes here and then you wiped out the Giger lol. I would love to see how you are using reference while on the pad. Lack of spotlight and saved camera spots is driving me a little nuts.

[@crow976100]

zbrush ipad is free ? or how much is cost

[@RenneAswell]

Professor Paul McDonald said Hi!!

[@sixstringslayaguitarman419]

If you still use Zbrush 2022 how do you import your ipad sculpt into 2022? I heard the goz wont work.

[@JewishImpactFilmz]

That’s B.S it does

[@JewishImpactFilmz]

The GOZ file type. You just airdrop it to yourself or send it to your PC (all sorts of ways to do that)

[@sixstringslayaguitarman419]

@@JewishImpactFilmz Great to hear. I watched another video where it was said the GoZ transfer will only work for the latest edition of Zbrush. I could airdrop to my mac then transfer to my PC with Zbrush.

[@CGYI-zb3ho]

I can't understand this hype. For years, there has been Nomad, which works better than this one. I don't know if it's all just marketing or simply because it's ZBrush, but according to many sculpting enthusiasts, Nomad is the better choice

[@gideonaggrey27]

I think it's very appealing to people who already use zbrush, familiarity with a software is always great. Plus look on the bright side, Nomad has some competition now. That's always good.

[@sahilbert]

I think you're right that it's partially marketing, BUT, as a zbrush user and a Nomad user I will say that it's really nice to just know where everything is and how the program works. When you use one program all day for work, and then at night while relaxing you have to use a different program to do that same job, it isn't as easy, and that is what I want when relaxing.

[@levraichris3321]

you said it, nomad is for sculpting enthusiasts. If you're a pro and money is not a factor, I can tell you Zbrush is the better choice

[@Iamjmiley2024]

The interface on nomad just sucks honestly. Feels outdated for 2024 so it’s also unappealing for a lot of people.

[@jnyf7263]

I learned everything in Nomad and I’m also using Z brush however I do find Nomad easier to do things. All you need to do is watch some tutorials and Zbrush starts to make sense

[@gregpolutanovich1774]

Yaa, way to fast and confusing
