💪 BECOME A PATRON - / artofjhill
In this video I finish up the sculpt and add the Fibermesh hair as well as assemble a simple render in Photoshop to create the final image. I go over my method for making hairstyles in Zbrush as well as continuing work on the face. I also briefly go over getting a render out of Zbrush and into Photoshop to assemble a final image. Thanks for joining along and I hope you enjoy the video!

Squad! Thank you guys for the warm welcome and the interest in these videos. Whew, this one ended up being a long one. Gonna try and work on shorter projects and faster turnarounds! Hope you enjoy the vid
Excellent stuff. One quick tip in case you don't know: to save your camera, you can also use the movie/animation timeline. Just place a key for each cam angle you want and there you have it. Apart from having more "saving slots" it sometimes us also interesting to move the slider between 2 camera keys and maybe find that the best view is somewhere in-between. Timeline can also be saved and reimported out along with the keys .
@@juliankenning nice tip!
if you use move brush, doesn't it distort the hair? like it makes some of them fatter, etc.
may i ask how do you export textures out of zbrush? i was able to export but when i import the textures and mesh.obj into blender, the texture is flipped and it has somer black seams.
@@b1na276 I think it does a little bit, smooth brush seemed to fix some of that but overall I like using the move brush
dude, your video is actually on my zbrush playlist at the most top tutorial. Thanks a ton!
glad you like it!
Wonderful to watch, dont worry my friend, you are a natural teacher and have a great attitude, you will go far
I love this tutorial, it's really helpful, easy to follow, and shows a great workflow for creating hair. Also nice to see how you work with post-processing in Photoshop. Thank you!
Laughed my ass off when you said - This to This!
Actually laughed out loud in the middle of the night - oh wait - it's 5:05 AM.
I was up all night studying and practicing likeness sculpting.
Dang!
an honest smile is the most difficult expression to nail. great sculpt
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO ON FIBERMESH I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!
her feelings is so real! Great work!
Thank you!
Thanks for coming back 😊 jay
Great tutorial! I struggled with fibermesh and gave up. Now I think I will give it another go. Thanks for posting!
good luck! You can download my fibermesh presets to get started from my gumroad too if you wanted to.
J Hill Sure, thank you! 🙏🏽😊
I've been putting off updating my hair workflow from stylized dynamesh sculpts so this was PERFECT. Thank you!
For free?? You are awesome!!! Its so hard to get great videos without paying. Thank you, so exited to try this!!!! You explain everything so simple! New Sub!!
This is just astonishing. Beautiful piece.
I would like to say congrats like I am some kind of zBrush expert, bit since I am not all I can say is that I like it a lot. It looks so natural, I thought at first you have applied fiber mesh on top of 3D scan. It is also amazing to see how much fiber mesh hair an polypainted lips have added to realism. She looks alive and that is I think greatest compliment someone can give to a sculptor.
Appreciate it! Glad you like it
Thank you a lot! This video improved my skill by A LOT !
glad to hear it!
Them eyebrows are really cool, it's really made me rethink how to make hair for characters. Keep up the good work man, this new format is great.
Thanks man, glad you’re liking it
An incredible job dude, thank you very much for showing how to do it
Wow! Thank you so much for an awesome video.
for sure. Glad you liked it
Great Video. I´m happy that you are back with some awesome stuff. You videos pushed me into getting better as i started with 3D sculpting . Keep up the good work!
Wow awesome man, thank you. Glad you’ve found some videos helpful and nice work!
Thank you so much for your content, you're helping artists level up one step at a time. Great stuff!
Man!!! I don't know how to say it but your work is really inspirational to me!!
I just started out learning Zbrush and the other day I came across your creations on Instagram and then today I found your YT channel. Really thankful for your tutorials and explanations. Thank you for sharing your workflow and knowledge! 🔥💙
Thanks man. For sure, glad you're getting into it and like my work. Keep it up!
Thank you brother....Iv been using Zb for like 18 years and i know we kind of in new territory i never knew about the length slider...mega now i can finish a few models that have been waiting for hair...mega tutorial m8 keep on rolling. great sculpt to. lot of feeling in that face. especially once u get the pores in and marks and you know...get some MD clothes on her and your will be top rankin..props man..thanks for sharing,, thumbs up.. peace..
thanks man, glad you liked the video and learned something. peace dude
This is awesome, love the way the renders turn out. i'm relatively new to Z-brush, watching you get the forms and details down so quickly just makes me laugh.Can't wait to see the next vid!
great video and the final result is absolutely amazing! youve captured her emotion perfectly!
thank you! glad you liked it :)
this is an incredible work. it was so live to see her while in process and at the completion state too. thanks!
Don't worry about length J. That one tip in the beginning about preserve fiber length kept me glued for all 42 minutes.
sweet, thanks man
for me, it was Hey, am J :)
This is the best use of fibermesh that I have seen! Thanks for this amazing example!
Thank you very much! 3D + 2D conceptual design knowledge points😀
Man, I am so happy you have returned to making these videos and look forward to more in the future! You are right rendering could use a whole video on it's own. The quality of your teaching and videos is really fantastic and I am learning quite a bit from you. Thanks so much for sharing man.
OMG never knew about preserve length. Seriously thank you for this video. We missed you.
Thanks man, glad you got something out of it
amazing! smile is so natural
I really enjoyed it I didn't even skipped a second, instead watched few parts again and again, some really nice tips keep doing these please, may god keep you happy always 💗
Thanks man!
Seriously man, thank you! I must have discovered your channel when you were on the outs. So glad I did. I had been looking for a hair (eyelash, and eyebrow) fiber mesh work flow, and man did you deliver. Great content, great delivery, well done. Exactly what I needed. Thank again. Looking forward to more videos. Keep it real!
-Farreal
awesome man, glad you dug the video
She looks like V for Vendetta. Awesome work~
Some really great tricks here! Nice job!
This was a wonderful presentation. It answered many of my questions. I appreciate your time and expertise. Beautiful work.
I'm glad you liked it
this is out of this world. so freaking good. wish i even could follow just a bit. but im lost haha
haha that's okay. Just keep practicing making things
MY DUDE! Welcome back, i can remember chatting to you on the podcast years back you've done so much! YOU SHOULD COME BACK ON!!!
hey dude! for sure man, I'm up to doing that sometime :)
@@artofjhill Yas!! Just hit me up on FB when you're free :)
She looks great J! Thanks again for the great instruction. I loved the work you recently did and look forward to more of your content.
I would really like to understand the gap between sculpting 3D character in Zbrush and then rendering it. I dont know where to start when I finish my sculpt or what program to use. Like I have an idea that after making a model in Zbrush you have to retopologize it and then make UV... something something... and then Render. I am stuck at just making a model in Zbrush and then not knowing what to do with it after. Anyway I hope you understand what I mean - much love
hey man, this depends on what you're gonna use to render. Like in this video I just used Zbrush and Photoshop to make images. The other 2 major options would be a raytrace renderer or a real time renderer. I might end up making a video just on rendering for people curious. The final result is the most important aspect, then choosing a rendering workflow that gets to that gets you that final result you're looking for
@@artofjhill That would be great. Thanks for reply.
Man !!! You're a genius !!!!!
Its insane how much more detail you have then I even have with high res photogrammetry data, teach me your ways senpai.
Hey man, it's really nice to have you back! Yours was one of the first sculpting channels I found when I was starting off a couple of years ago. Coming back to your stuff now, it feels nice that I actually understand what you're doing!
If you're looking for future topics to cover, I'll say that the most difficult stuff for me, when I was starting off, was understanding why and especially 'when' you should dynamesh, zremesh, project the details, decimate, create sculpt layers, pose, create UV:s, polypaint, etc. I had a model with millions of points and no subdivision levels and I just didn't get that I had to project the details to stop my computer from committing suicide. I think the basic workflow stuff is the hardest shit to figure out at the beginning! Still not a pro though :).
Anyways! Cheers and good job on the sculpt
thanks man! and for the topic ideas. I did do a video long ago about that basic workflow but have thought about maybe an updated one but it's pretty much the same as I do now though I do project th-cam.com/video/n8t-SV8rU8o/w-d-xo.html
Ohh, yeah! I totally forgot about that one. I need to rewatch all of your old videos with fresh eyes. Keep up the good work!
The guy must wear a t-shirt with "I am awesome" on it.
It's great to see someone new (I mean after the break) coming up with with quality tutorials. Keep up with your work! The editing is excelent.
Thank you!
Now THIS, is a solid process video! Thank you so much for sharing it!
thank YOU
gooood to see you back man!
Man your zbrush skills is everything i wish i can be! amazing work. I learned a lot just by watching this video
thanks man, glad you found the video helpful. I've never really felt satisfied with my work so just keep making stuff and remember its about the journey
@@artofjhill Seeing this was definitely a big motivational boost to try harder. :D
Thank you so much for creating this tutorial.... was looking for how to make realistic hair for previsualization inside ZBrush.... then Bingo!!!!!... Thank you!!!!!!
cool, glad it helped
Thank you for this video. I know it's over a year at this point, but I was questioning if I could do this; if the process was worth the results.
After seeing this I know it is. Thanks again.
Glad you liked the video and making something for yourself is always worth it
Thank your for such detail tutorial! I finally can make proper hair now. no one ever talks about the frontal collision tolerance in fibermesh.
Love all your stuff man, you've been a big help to me
I had no idea you could comb fibermesh with standard brushes, Thank you!!
np!
I'm glad you're back
This is exactly the type of video I was hoping for! Incredible work man!
Great work J! Happy to see you back making videos. Your relaxed conversational approach to video content is something special.
I believe you're trying to get a feel for content that we'd like to see? Could try setting up a poll, Q&A or some sort of voting to get a feel for what your audience wants. I'd love to see that game character get finished up from 3 years ago :P Haha. But that is a huge time investment and like you said you'd rather focus on shorter term projects. However, seeing your approach to the full game character pipeline would be amazing.
Cheers
thanks for this! Yea that project would be a big time and energy investment but I'm planning something to satisfy the people curious about game art and pipelines out there. Q&A might be a good idea and how would I go about making a poll??
Really cool, well edited video. Awesome model and final render too. Nice work!
Thank you!
Thanks you so much for this video! really clear and well explained xoxo
I've been really struggling with hair! This is perfect, you're also very easy to listen to! Thank you :)
New Subscriber coming your way!

Very impressive sculpt, I learned a lot just by watching this. Great job.
This video helped me a lot. Thank you very much, you are gorgeous teatcher and I could listen your tuts during hours
thank you for the comment, glad to hear it
thanks for the tutorial ,masking is the key to hair
you got it
Super nice ! One thing thou, I could be wrong but the face looks super symmetrical, was that the plan? Or did u i fact sculpt on asymmetry? Cheers
You can use move topology brush instead of auto grouping to move individual hairs, so you can keep you poly groups
yes you could, good tip!
I like the ''whoop'' sound you make sometimes
nice to see u back on youtube!
Awesome vid! Thanks!
awesomneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Dope work and great workflow
This is how much hair add to the feeling of naturalnes.
this looks dope
