- This video shows how I create a geometric mesh ring in ZBrush. It is a full tutorial that's appropriate for beginners but also people with some knowledge of ZBrush, and a preview for my upcoming ZBrush Course as I work out the animated graphics, keyboard shortcuts, and sound...subscribe at www.zbrushjewel... to be notified when it's released.
Here is the link to my custom interface and detailed instructions about how to install it on your system. drive.google.c...
If you are interested in trying out Keyshot, you'll want to go through the Pixologic store to download both the ZBrush to Keyshot Bridge and the Keyshot software demo, otherwise the prices you'll find are in the thousands of dollars. As of July 2020, the bundle from Pixologic's store is $349 to get photorealistic rendering, but I found Keyshot to be much easier than Blender. Also, the ZBrush to Keyshot bridge will work on two machines, but Keyshot's license only covers one...I own a copy on my laptop, but on the computer I record videos I don't have a separate license yet, and did this tutorial on the demo version. The Keyshot demo is only 14 days, and the ZBrush to Keyshot bridge should be the usual 45-day Pixologic trial. Here's the link: store.pixologi...
Also, a note about 3D printing this one...your slicing software should be able to handle the single Subtool mesh, but if it can't make it "watertight," I would recommend using the "Boolean Folder" technique of merging the rings with the anticlastic mesh. Select the mesh ring and click "New Folder" in the Subtool palette. Drag the double rings into the same folder. Make sure that transparency is turned OFF, then use the gear next to the folder to "Boolean Folder." Select the new "UMesh" version of your ring, and close the folder by clicking on it. This ring should be fine when exported.
Anyway, enjoy, and stay safe, everyone!
I miss your tutorials !!!! :):):)
Hello thank you for explaining so clearly and showing it so clearly. I am glad found your Channel
Looking forward to your full course. Great job on the introductory lesson, it was clear and very easy to follow for a beginner.
lts8709 Thank you so much! I just finished a little tutorial yesterday that’s a “caged bird.” Feeling a little confined due to the pandemic...art therapy, I guess. Take care!
wow! it is incredible the fluidity that you teach this program challenge that for me is very difficult but with you everything becomes simple.
You are a born Teacher.......excellent tutorial.
OMG!👍 you created absolutely the perfect video for beginners. thanks for sharing life saving videos with us🙏
I just woke up and saw this message. Thank you so much for making my day!
It was really helpful and clear. Thank you so much Kat 😍❤
Thanks, @BEBE!
How can anyone give this a thumbs down is beyond me to be honest... (shrugs)
Spencer Jarvis Seriously.
Maybe that I showed it as bimetal, but that would be more difficult to cast? 😃 I’m not fazed, seeing that 50 people had viewed it within the first half-hour was mindblowing and gave me a positive push to work on the course today. Thanks for your kind words, Spencer! Hey, if you’d like, PM me through my contact page on my website...I’ve got some questions for you.
@@KatAdair You should be proud of the help you offer.
Excellent and simple to understand. Thanks Kat!
Y hace 3 años dominé Rhinoceros pero a hay proyectos de joyería que uno necesita agregar detalles orgánicos al modelo anillo y solo zbrush puede hacerlo pero yo apenas estoy conociendo el programa pero con sus tutoriales inspira, mil gracias.
great lessons! thank you very much!
Hola Kat,gracias por compartir tus conocimientos me enamora tu forma de enseñar que bueno seria un tutorial para esculpir un anillo de calavera❤❤👍👍👍
hey kat adair
your tutorials are really helpful
thanks for upload
now we need some more videos with gemstones jewelry
like rings, pendants,
I am doing jewelry designing in matrix and trying to do on zbrush too but I am beginner on zbrush
I am actually working on them as we speak! How would you like to use ZBrush...will you use it to design from scratch, or would you design in matrix and just add embellishments? Do you have a feel for it?
Can you send me a message through my website? I have some questions. katadair.com
This was really helpful understanding zbrush curve tool 👍
There are so many cool things you can do with Curve brushes! Are use them for making chains and scrolls and all sorts of things.
Thanks for detailed explanations sister kat❤️
Thank you very much!
Very nice 👍
Extremely useful, thank you
Very nice tutorial
Thanks 🙏🏻
Thank you sı much 🙏🌹🙏
If it's possible for you to please tutorial about champleve' enamel. I am so interested. 😘💖Thank you a lot
@BEBE, that’s a great idea for the next video...that technique has some good basics in it, too.
hello Kat,
i just stumbled upon your videos as i'm new to z brush as a jewelry student could you show how to do pendants for names, zodiac signs, monograms?
thank you
Hi Kat, why did you stop making these great videos?
Hello Kat I am a big fan of all your work. I can not wait to have the full course. You are the best teacher one can ask for. I am soooo exiceted!!!
Since I am here, quick question if you can answer; Is there a reason for my models fail to print, because of maybe a not good stl file? I don't understand why some of my pieces print and others don't at all. Idk if I am exporting correctly. I appreciate if you could help me with that. Thank you so much anyway. You are the best. :)
angela tottoli, thank you so much!
Hola Kat un gran saludo desde Colombia, una pregunta¿ en que va lo del curso de Zbrush aplicado a la joyería? estoy ansioso por realizarlo😊😊!! Un abrazo.
woohoo youre back! any news on the course Kat?
Spencer Jarvis Hey Spencer! Working on it actively now. We pulled my dad from his assisted living because of COVID and he’s staying with us and living in my art studio casita. So I’ve moved into the master closet...the good news is that the acoustics are much better in there. 😁 I don’t have a date yet, but I’ve narrowed down the exercises, and I like them better than the originals. How are you doing? Hopefully you’re keeping safe and not too bored!
Oh, and I got kinda fancy on that pink tourmaline ZBrush logo animation. That was a 3 a.m. procrastination move. 😆
@@KatAdair Must be lovely to have your dad around despite the terrible circumstances. My family and I are all well thank you, Just quit my job of 23 years to pursue the Jewellery. We are in London and its a lovely day here ( it doesn't always rain!). I'm looking forward to the course very much, I've tried other courses but I don't seem to be able to absorb any information, your teaching style and soothing voice make it a joy, thank you so much for the tutorials and Ill eagerly look forward to the release of what will undoubtedly be an amazing course. Stay safe guys!
@@KatAdair #bling right? :)
Spencer Jarvis Congratulations on your new adventure! Will you send your pieces out, or will you cast them? What style is your favorite? Are you coming into CAD jewelry by way of traditional methods? (I’ve got so many questions!). London is lovely...so you’ll be able to hang out in cafés and design.
I don’t know if you ever heard me mention it in a video, but I work on much smaller files (lower ActivePoint counts) than other ZBrush jewelry folks...because I like to work remotely on my laptop. I don’t use a Cintiq because I want to have my “studio” portable, so I’m using a small Wacom Intuous with a MacBook Pro. I have also been using my iPad Pro with Sidecar as a graphic input tablet, which is kinda cool, but I actually prefer the Intuous.
Also, back in 2014, my better half decided he was quitting his programming job to become a writer...I never told him that I was REALLY nervous about that, and my dad wished him a very skeptical “good luck.” But with a little dedication, it happened, and he’s so much happier now doing what he loves. Ironically, writing post-apocalyptic books and books about pandemics. We haven’t worked regular jobs now in about six years, and it’s kind of nice. Being in Texas, that means we can ponder the end of the world while hanging out in BBQ joints and plot Bobby’s books and work on ZBrush. Although I’d really love to be on an island designing jewelry with a pina colada...ahhhhh.
as always a freaking good tutorial. you finally solved alot of my problems :D one question is left : i tried to make sth aloike to a watertight model , the problem is , everywhere where the tubes of the ring cross each other , there are coplanar faces ,zbrush tells me that when it comes to check watertightness. how can i solve that , didi it happen to you as well or am i doing sth wrong withe the tubebrush? much respect a love for your workflows
Is there a video on how to download your interface? I'm not seeing instructions on how to do it on the link? Thanks Kat, I really appreciate you making these videos and providing the interface!
Mark Anderson, yes! Let me put up the link. I have a slightly new version, but it shouldn’t make that much of a difference.
drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kHPGqGPaWqL-T0dJsCyr4EoWoWBrh-4f?usp=sharing
There you go! I just realized that the link is in the description above, but your message prompted me to look for the handout, and it’s not there. This is a handout that my not be updated yet for the new interface, but still useful.
Download the files from the link and save them to your hard drive. You’ll use the Preferences menu item in ZBrush, and from the Config section, choose “Load UI.” Locate the .cfg file and open it. The next step is important...go back to the Config section and click “Store Config” so it will load every time ZBrush is launched. Do the same with the Hotkeys section and file. After loading the Hotkeys, you’ll click the “Store” button in the Hotkeys section. Please let me know if you have any issues with it.
@@KatAdair I was finally able to get it to appear in my files. I followed your directions and it didn't show up. So I closed ZBrush and reopened it and it's still not there?
@@KatAdair I just started a new project in it and everything appeared. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me, I really appreciate it!
really like it great ^_^
Your custom ui does not load.. Screen ratio is 1366*768. Help please.. Alter method???
Nice:)
I’m adding the links to the interface and the Keyshot links right now. Up late...1:45 a.m. Texas time. 😃
@@KatAdair Super, thank You😊 I study ZBrush and You are my inspiration😇❤️
@@zbigniew-nastalek you just made my night! Thank you for your kind words. Anything in particular you'd like to learn?
@@KatAdair Yes, i create jewellery and you lessons are very helpful. My business in Poland: goo.gl/maps/Y39tU5rHC9MLXePT6
@@KatAdair Of course I would like to learn how make elegant and clear geometry with ZBrush because I need this skills for create jewellery. 🙂
Can i use your interface setting with my zbrush 2021?
Yes, the version that is up on Google Drive is updated to the latest version of ZBrush. It may be slightly different than what is shown in this video, but it is very similar. Also, I have some free preview videos on www.zbrushjewelry.com at the bottom of the page that show how to install it and customize the interface. This link should also work. www.zbrushjewelry.com/courses/zbrush-for-jewelry-artists/lectures/24744607
