Zbrush Hard Surface Sculpting Tips -- with Marco Plouffe

[@tomoyaogawa4485]

I always struggle with doing organic hard surface modelling and this video helped me to understand the workflow better. Thank you!!

[@feenux09]

the "like" counter is off the roof x)

[@Annatar0]

The relax smooth brush tip is very useful in cases where you want to keep the shape but just smooth the surface out. This tends to happen a lot in the shaping process of the sculpt. Also using DamStandard to define hard surface shapes is very useful.

«What’s your favorite cookie recipe?” So random 🤣 Great video, as always 👍🏻

[@walken4prez]

It can't be said enough: this is by far the highest quality channel of its kind. Every video is bursting at the seams with applicable, insightful, concise information wrapped in a clean presentation. Absolutely incredible. Thank you for creating this content.

[@Outgang]

Thank you LaughingMan! It's a pleasure to make content like this when I see that people appreciate it as much as you.

[@TOPP3R1993]

I gave up counting the word "like" after half the video, but nonetheless nice tips

[@jcarlosdesenhos]

FANTÁSTICO!!!!! Obrigado por compartilhar sua incrível arte!

[@bryanharrison3889]

Best intro ever recorded.

[@juanito_design]

holy sh*t the relax smooth brush I had no idea about. game changer

[@pixbstudios]

Just like a magician says Abra ka Dabra before performing his magic, the same way Marco says Pro Tip!

[@ajlbeer]

Thanks for this one, really nice demo.

[@luisenriquedavila1391]

Outgang are you woman or men??

[@Outgang]

I'm a trans woman

[@koko-nl5tp]

8 or 10 millions per subtool. Amazing. I don't expect that.. I hope my computer can handle that. hahaha.

[@sun_beams]

The airhorns fucking killed me hahaha "PRO-TIP"

[@Outgang]

Thanks a lot Biz! Happy Diwali to you as well.

[@top1hit]

Honestly, I can't always find enough time to watch many hours of streams, so your channel is a salvation for me. Thanks for your work and a special thank you for the timecodes. By the way, Laura is cute

[@frellinghazmot4443]

Finally KZbin recommends me something that I actually like.

[@TheGreatArlei]

Thank you so much for this episode and for all your work by the way! I was wondering, what's the music you used on the outro? It's lovely! Keep up the great work and take care.

[@Outgang]

All of Outgang's music is an original composition by our resident musician (Frederick Genereux). We're planning to release Outgang, volume 1 soon.

[@caseyforster4613]

Quick question, if you block out the whole silhouette from the same sphere, how do we break the silhouette down into subtools after all is said and done in the block out phase?

[@Outgang]

Look for Split Masked Points under Tool->Subtool->Split

[@caseyforster4613]

@@Outgang Thank you so much for the response! much love guys!

[@bunnyfreakz]

Every subtool 10 million? He have beast PC.

[@CryptoFeeders]

Tried but in my aftre releasing shift key and drag with smooth brush , there is difference as u told about smoothrelax. Is there another way to use relax .??

[@michaelnowaczewski7288]

I use zbrush for 6 years and didn't know about smooth relax ^^ Thx great content!

[@madmodder]

soo once you have a nice dynamesh block in, how do you go about splitting it up into various parts for refinement?

[@pav3d1]

Great video full of interesting tips! Keos Masons are some of the best artists in the industry

[@i.sebastian.c6563]

Zbrush need a better hard surface workflow. To many steps to get a nice an clean edge

[@SkemeKOS]

Whats with the make up and hair??

[@TheGreatArlei]

You get a dollar for every time Marco says like!

[@Outgang]

Haha! I'd be rich :)

[@MovingDungeons]

Smooth relax! 9.00, top tip, thanks :)

[@ZephrusPrime]

Looks like I'm gonna need a little more RAM...

[@joelsukkau7470]

Yay! Found another killer 3D KZbin channel

[@DeejayGrafixx]

don't let marco's low res camera fool you,this dude is a 3d god

[@Outgang]

I see his low-res camera as a reminder that it is better to block out with a low-resolution dynamesh.

[@MatheusLB2009]

14:10 Drink water every time he says "like"

[@LovePrj]

just realised he says "like" a lot

[@slothsarecool]

I just wish the zbrush UI wasn’t so overwhelming haha, it hasn’t changed in like 15 years

[@Outgang]

There's enough functions and buttons to launch a rocket in space.

[@sekker2k446]

So good, the BEST part were the pro tips😂

[@ModifyChanelLive]

This is amazing ! Very useful video ! Thank you

[@laughingbear8615]

i have been struggling with hard surface in zbrush for a while this video is really helpful.

[@jaze_ph]

Outgang is super awesome! Any good recommendations guys that is kinda similar to outgang channel (even if paid) that is focused on 3d environments? Thanks!

[@macgruber4689]

Idk, feels like "Plouffe" is like "Porsche", the e at the end isn't silent."Plouff" sounds like french kid shooting a toygun :D

[@6132-k1n]

it's a french name though, so the 'e' is silent

[@macgruber4689]

@@6132-k1n i'll give that "e" a voice no matter what but thanks bro.

[@SebastianDecilia]

Laura trans? 😮😮😮😮😮

[@sepehrrajabi1112]

Fantastic tips and tricks 👌. 😍🤩😍

[@adrient104]

It was really interesting to see Marco shaping a full blocking and cut inside as he went, for such had-surface models.

[@RDD87z]

i would love to seee how do people retopo these kind of super hard surface detailed models... with lot of pieces. specially for games.. omg.. thats crazy :D

[@Outgang]

One approach I've seen that works consistently for games is just shrink-wrapping a low-res on top of all the details.

[@RDD87z]

@@Outgang true makes sense because most of the micro detail can be achieved with normal maps and some deep shadows on the albedo. Thank you

[@eugeozuberg2092]

Will i watch your channel 24/7 just to look at that beautiful face of yours? *yes*.

[@hammad0]

Early on, You ntion a tutorial You've made, concerning the content setup. I can't seem to see it in Your description though?

[@undo8k296]

May i know, what computer spec Marco Plouffe using on Zbrush ?

[@caffeinatedteddy2110]

10:27 every project has those moments that just doesn't make sense but it would feel weird if they didn't happen

I was using backface automask modifier for my masks but the depth method for the mask brush feels better and easier. Thanks for the protip!

This is my first watching one of your videos and you voice bamboozled me! Great video btw

[@pablopenza1170]

how can i get this matt 9:59 render mat2. It's not grayed out like basic material

[@Outgang]

Marco's material really looks like the basic material to me. I you mean the fact that the inactive subtools aren't turning dark like usual, there's a setting for that under Preferences -> Edit -> Inactive Subtool Dimming. Is that what you're looking for?

[@pablopenza1170]

@@Outgang IDK, I mean, I did some changes with the light, like changing ambient from 3 to 8 and I got something more similar to this. it's like my basic material is grayer than his. I feel that his has a more white tone, even if i let the same RGB. Maybe are my windows colors settings... BTW, TKY for the tip.

[@lauragallagher3187]

@@pablopenza1170 I do some post production on the videos and often boost the midtones a bit, I think that's what you're seeing.
