I have been trying to learn Zbrush and this tutorial was such a fantastic resource. I appreciate it acknowledges that the UI is not necessarily well-designed but breaks the program down and teaches a simple way to build a 3D character and helped make it clearer to use that has me excited to dabble more in Zbrush.

[@PhilGates]

This is by far the best ZBrush tutorial I have ever seen. You are a God send

Bro it's very good tutorial, thank you so much

[@glormond]

Man, this is such a cool tutorial to understand the new program in minutes! It's so rare that people on youtube explain so much crucial stuff just in a few minutes and in a way that makes you actually understand it! This is exactly that type of tutorial. Zbrush really seems "strange" as you said when first opened but after 5 minutes of your video I'm starting to understand basic stuff.

[@garrett4775]

great video very well made, exactly what i needed!

[@MJ-li7fo]

Thank you!! Super helpful video and easy to follow! It went into a lot of detail but also gave a broad view of the overall workflow to get a finished model.

[@rgerber]

amazing- obviously i see you have good knowledge about basic anatomy but it's impressive how easy it looks.

[@calebj7205]

Great Video! Thanks!!
Looking forward to the texturing breakdown video in Substance Painter. Thanks :-)

[@user-yo1kt7ky7o]

i love you bro thnks

[@LeesTexan]

UVs and Maps are a great candidate for AI as it is not easily understood when you are a new beginner. I would like the anatomy video as well as video on UVs.

[@abdulmalikmaroof4548]

Nice Tutorial. I have always wanted to learn Zbrush but i don't have a Graphic Tablet yet. Do you suggest I could start with a mouse?

[@MikeSmith3D]

Pressure sensitivity is pretty important in zbrush. But you can always get started with a mouse. No need to wait!

[@christophe_li]

Thanks for the video. Would you recommend creating the displacement maps in substance as well or is zbrush fine?

[@MikeSmith3D]

I actually really like the displacement maps that come out of zbrush because of the 32bit ext option. And they look really accurate. I’ve never tried the substance ones. But maybe I should!

[@christophe_li]

​@@MikeSmith3D thanks for your reply. do you use both normal and displacement maps or just one or the other?

[@MikeSmith3D]

@@christophe_li For games and other realtime uses, just normal maps. But for film and VFX, I used both.

[@christophe_li]

@@MikeSmith3D awesome. Thank you sir.

[@ZephrusPrime]

Have you tried using the new crease UV function in Zbrush 2023 that allows you to cut those UV seams?

[@MikeSmith3D]

I'll try that out!

[@niklastsalkos]

at 13:00 when i move the "arms" it pulls the shoulder joint? anyone know where i messed up?

[@MikeSmith3D]

Try making your brush size smaller. It will grab and move all of the joints that are within the radius of the brush

[@exityt6758]

HOW TO COLOR THIS GUY PLZ DO THAT VIDEO

[@brokeboy8869]

Im strugling to pull the hands here 12:58 why is the elbow following when I pull the hands out?? Im currently using 2023 version

[@MikeSmith3D]

Oh try a smaller brush size! It will move any joints inside the radius of the brush.

[@brokeboy8869]
