The dragging out of repeating objects had a quick shortcut, even faster than sticky mode, introduced in 2018 but it's sort of hidden. If you control drag like you guys were doing to drag out a new copy, but then you let go of control, then keep dragging, it will continue to create new copies at the same interval. Arraymesh is still the best choice obviously if you're going for something super specific or for advanced options, but this way is REALLY fast to drag things out in an array on just one axis.
Thanks guys love the videos!!!! Would love to see a full series on hard surface in zbrush. Been working in Maya for over a decade and I'm currently working to use Zbrush as my main asset tool! Low and High poly work (Also jumping on that blender 2.8 train).
Omg! Thank you guys just please stop reading my mind I was about to look over google about this topic and suddenly the notification pop up. Also I think a premium tut of grooming will be useful ;) not a lot of them out there with the flipped quality seal of approval
Hey Flipped, how do you make a high poly of an already existing model (I mean you have the 3d model and then you want to create hard surface details in it without affecting the base mesh)
You can access the initialize tab and the qsphere and others on any mesh. It doesn’t have to be the star. Don’t believe me test it out. Other than that, love the video guys!!!!
The menu is there - but the primitives arent :) On the star, you can get the cube, while for the others, you can adjust their segments and such. Also, thank you!
Yes, It works on any subtool that's a polymesh, however, they were starting from a fresh scene and then only the star will give you the Qmesh initialize.
The "click to repeat last command" in Zmodeler works on almost every tool, not just the Bevel. For example, the Qmesh poly command. YOu can extrude a face using qmesh, then just click on other polygons to get the exact same level of extrusion. Same for anything in the vertex level operations.
Just a quick suggestion when anyone wants to make an instructional about the Zmodeller modifier window... please take your time showing that menu. It's crazy full of stuff we've never seen much of and sometimes pausing isn't fast enough to see what was selected. I hate having to turn down the speed of playback just to catch some difficult stuff. I think teachers who have taught live in front of students are more aware of this and have a better sense of pace with their lectures. Most of Michael Pavlovich's tutorials he sounds drunk because I have to slow the speed down excessively.
I'd like to know how to have rounded objects boolean together and keep the topology at the edges between them to stay sharp when reducing the polycount.
When reducing? Usually you boolean at your low sub-d. If you boolean higher, you have crease tools and are probably going to retopo later anyways. What's your project?
"The 'Split Unmasked Points' splits whatever point is unmasked" First I thought this is so obvious but then I remembered we are in ZBrush so this is actually pretty surprising
Is it bad if i model something of a lot of seperate tools instead out of one? I have a hard time zmodelling the imagined forms sometimes. What issues can i run into if i do seperate tools?
Could you get more into the ZModeler? I've seen a lot of awesome stuff being done with it and it's a lot easier for me to just do flat surfaces in Zbrush rather than in Maya. Thanks
Yes really need more from flipped normal ! So I like &subscribe 😎😋 flipped normal ... And the request is need more hard surface on zbrush and zmoduler tool ...
My issue with booleans is that they're all fine and so, but I find that the retopo just tends to be a pain once you get a singular object with a lot of complexity.
I believe a modeler program should be the only software you ever need to create anything. Zbrush can create level designs, architecture, a house etc. But it seem stiff with high learning curve unlike Blender or even with 3DS Max. It seem that 90% of modeling artist uses Zbrush for characters and import the tavern from another software. I like your video but I learn better with tutorial in making a house or castle using your tips. I search TH-cam and find only a handful of solid modeling. Amazon doesn't even carry books on architecture with Zbrush but has tons of books designing characters. Thank you for your video. I will try to remember your tips while I go bang my head against the wall.
when I need to learn anything.....why your channel have that all??? Are you guys read people's mind?? Literally I wanted to learn hard surface on brush....and you came with that 😋😋
During the day they work in the VFX industry tirelessly turning out commercial visual work. -During the night, they pummel the faces of criminals and perhaps inadvertently contribute to significant property damage.
this was good content though you guys are terrible at step - by - step. If somebody was new to ZBrush this would really confuse them, the debug shelves alone are confusing and then to not show or point out that "Live Boolean" is a button that must be turned on in order for the shapes to cut into each other. Just something to keep in mind if you're going to show tips and tricks.
Due to the support this channel has shown for the Nazi regime in Ukraine, I am closing my subscription. Please keep politics and propaganda out of the Industry.
Always looking for more ZBrush HS content!
This is great. Thank's for sharing, FlippedNormals! This might be a good alternative to creasing and the pinching effect it can have on edges. Cheers.

I would love to see more videos about hard modelling y Zbrush! I never thought it would be such a powerful tool
Guys, you've just made me excited about dynamic subdiv usage for my insect models! Thanks :)
Awesome :D Happy to help.
these videos are so good! and yeah some hard surface tip videos would be great you guys are the best zbrush youtubers.
I like the sound of the start of many hard surface Zbrush episodes, maybe sculpt a castle tower with bricks/rocks
Thank you gentleman! Thanks for taking the time.
perfect! i saw the use of the Q Cube on a Gnomon workshop so these further use tips are just great
The video was great, learnt a lot of new things! Can you do a video on game asset creation workflow?
Thanks guys love the videos!!!! Would love to see a full series on hard surface in zbrush. Been working in Maya for over a decade and I'm currently working to use Zbrush as my main asset tool! Low and High poly work (Also jumping on that blender 2.8 train).
Flipped Normals is my favorite 3D channel on TH-cam
Thanks a lot! We really appreciate it
The one-click bevel trick (10:10) works with a lot of ZModeler actions, much more than just bevel.
Omg! Thank you guys just please stop reading my mind I was about to look over google about this topic and suddenly the notification pop up.

Amazing :D Thanks Ed

@@JokeZ1337 that's the point, it's important to mention that detail
Hey guys it's wonderfull. But can u tell me please how to combine it and save? I mean Live Boolian holes. Thank u so much.

5:57 . Prompt pls, on what button you copied the last action ?
Yes make more of this
Will do :D

hi, how i can insert edge loop instently in central of the polygon or cube form?
Love these tips! Interested in seeing how to fully switch to Zbrush for hard surface from Modo if possible.

Please do a hard surface tutorial on creating something like an iron man helmet with all the panel grooves
Hey great video, would like to see a workflow for hard surface in VFX, especially dealing with UVs and topology.
Yes really need more from flipped normal ! So I like &subscribe 😎😋 flipped normal ... And the request is need more hard surface on zbrush and zmoduler tool ...
what do you guys think of fusion 360 for hard mesh modeling?
Please more in-depth hard surface tutorial.
What kind of monster makes the q primitives only available under the star tool?!
yes more hardsurface tuts please
You can get qcude under anything not just star. I use it more than anything to start.
As long as you make polymesh 3D first
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

more hardsurface plz
More hurdsurface, more hurdsurface, more more more
Dark grey interface with dark blue buttons is a poor choice for a video tutorial friends - hard ta follow!!!
Good stuff, zbrush crashed multiple times though..
5:08 lol! So true...

You cant teach with a custom interface, please dont do that again ;)
It's enough to know the name of the command to find it. What's the problem? Can't you use help guides?
@@phat80 The problem is you deffend what is wrong man, a good teacher doesnt do that. Maybe you are used to bad teaching. Flipped ...
@@RonnieMirands What exactly was used that you couldn't find in the standard interface?
