NEW VIDEO - Intro to Sculpting: • Zbrush 2020 - Sculptin...
I always hear about how hard ZBrush is to learn - so lets fix that!
In this video I go over everything you need to know to get a model in ZBrush, including the little quirks that trip new users up. From there I explain all the basic buttons and menus that you need to navigate working with ZBrush, how to import and export models and more!
After this you should be ready to sculpt, which I will cover properly in another video :)
If you have any questions please feel free to leave them below, and be sure to subscribe for more modelling and texturing tutorials :)
My name is Michael Wilde and I'm a professional VFX artist, I have been working in the industry for 6 years and worked on many Hollywood blockbuster films, including a couple of Oscar winners! I'm here to demystify VFX and try and teach what I know to others :)

The second part to this, ACTUAL SCULPTING! is up now on my channel, check it out!
I'm currently in university learning 3D art and learning ZBrush there makes me want to cry. Thank you for laying this out so clearly and competently, and I would love to see tutorials like this for everything you might do in ZBrush 2020 - I will definitely be checking out all of your other ZBrush videos, too.
"try an error" type of guides are the best out there in my opinion. Instantly subscribed when i finished your video
thank god, this helped me a lot to understand what's going on this very weird and un-intuitive interface.
It's the third time I try to pick up Zbrush (used Blender so far). I really enjoyed the way you clearly explained the main UI features and tools. I could actually navigate it properly for the first time. Ready to dive into the sculpting video now. Thanks a lot for these tutorials.
I'll be getting this in a few weeks.
Can you also make in-depth tutorials of zbrush? I know that zbrush now has many methods to make objects (standard sculpting, zspheres, zmodeler, spotlight, etc.) It would be interesting to see which tool is best for which kind of shapes... or how the same end model can be achieved using different methods!
Hi there!
There will be some more in-depth ones coming soon - I already have a few others using the software with other projects which you can check out.
Pretty good video, but when going over the interface, I would recommend going over navigation controls as well. You move all around your object, rotate, zoom, etc. None of this is intuitive in zbrush and should be discussed in a beginner video (hold alt, holding alt-clicking OFF the object to zoom, etc.
agree... you just say 'click off' it etc. but are you right clicking, left, middle mouse? Intuitive to you, not to us!
I'm just finally downloaded zbrush and I've got to relearn everything so hopefully you'll help Rock on.
Funny enough same as me ,I haven't used it in years ...
@@vasili1207 Yeah it is tough but I'm getting through it and things are coming together slowly but it's painful lol. Good luck.
ngl, Michael do be Wildin 😤
This comment needs more likes
@@grimnott dude i published this comment 7 months ago and i started using zbrush only 2 months ago damn
good vedio for new people...subscribed
ty so much that was kind of you to make a video, can you make one on how to convert triangles to quads? i started today with zbrush and this was really helpful and got relaxed that i can bring my MD projects in here .
This was Super helpful thank you!! Coudl you include what hotkeys / buttons you used to actually move your view around (instead of moving the object)?
great video, thanks
Thanks a lot Sir
Thanks
thank you
Great, thanks.
it was awsome
New to Zbrush and love it. Is it ideal to use a Wacom opposed to a mouse?
Yer I can't imagine going back to a mouse myself - it feels much more intuitive using a wacom
New is not an option under document?
tnx !
It's actually impressive how bad Zbrush's UI is for beginners.
nice :)
my canvas is much smaller than yours. And how do I get rid of the little #D face and alpha icons?
If you do a new document inside of Zbrush it should fit to your screen size. Then you can save that as the start up doc so it’s always that size
are you sure its for beginers?
I am, yes
Hey Michael i got a question about the program. I got the ZBrush 2020.1.6 and the layout looks so completely different from every video about ZBrush that it is very confusing with what to do and how to do so. Do you know any kind of advise or video that has this specific version and how it works?
Hmm, I've been using 2020.1.4 and there was no noticeable difference, and now after upgrading to 2021 I also can't see a difference... Any chance you can be more specific about what looks different? This video starts with the default layout so your version should look like that - unless you're using Zbrush Core which I have no idea about
@@MichaelWildeVFX Ah i think that is the problem because mine indeed says ZBrushCoreMini 2020
I don't have document: new document, working in ZBrushCore 2021.1.2
I don't have separate edit and draw modes either...
@@haricapra6886 I've never used core so you would need to have a look on the pixologic website for that I'm afraid. This tutorial is about the full software
How do you delete an object? I've tried Alt and click but doesn't work :/
You have to delete it as a sub tool under the geometry menu!
Hey how do you compare Blender 2.8's sculpting to Zbrush?
Afraid I've never used it! I'm a Maya guy. If I had to put my money on it, Zbrush probably does everything it does and more in terms of Sculpting but can't say that for sure.
Blender sculpting is not in the same league as Zbrush.
will this help with zbrush core 2020?
I haven't used it, but in theory yes! It will potentially be missing some of the features and buttons I mention here though.
Is there somewhere a keyboard sheet cheat? Cuz I can't figure out how to zoom in , as you don't even explain this basic feature, and the scroll wheel, that works in EVERY single other 3D software doesn't do anything...
There’s a list of all the shortcuts here if that’s useful? docs.pixologic.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/ZBrush4R7-Shortcuts.pdf
@@MichaelWildeVFX THanks, but still no key bombo on how to zoom like you do in the video ...
@@TaylorMouse Ctrl + Alt + Right Click & Drag - It's under section 3.1 in that doc, Right Click Navigation. That whole section lists a lot of movement shortcuts. I assume the scroll wheel doesn't work as by default a lot of people use Wacom tablets rather than mice to sculpt, so they perhaps didn't include it for that reason
@@MichaelWildeVFX Ok, thanks man :D
Starting out a sculpting by bringing in an item that the user doesn't have is a bad way to introduce us. Sculpting on a sphere or that cylinder would've been much easier and beginner friendly to follow along with. When introducing new people you should open by creating that degree of separation.
While I get what you're saying, I didn't want to further complicate an already complicated piece of software by going through the whole "make polymesh 3d" that you are required to do with the base primitives in Zbrush. That's a tangent that I will explore in the next one of these. Zbrush has a lot of quirks and this video is aimed mainly at the UI, not sculpting. However I'm aware that people are only learning it for sculpting which is why I do touch on it.
tried to "hold shift" and snap the cylinder. Hold shift and do what? I have tried a bunch of button combinations to no avail. Not very clear. Disappointing.
As explained a few seconds before it’s for snapping when creating a new object, so you are already dragging it into the canvas with the mouse button! :)
unclear tbh
Any bit specifically?
Is it paid?
Is what paid?
Does Zbrush have a free version or do you have to pay?
@@dhruvakikkeri6217 30 day trial then you have to pay.
How much is it?

first 7 minutes in and i cant finish watching. too much fluff.
If you’ve never used Zbrush this video is going through all the buttons on the UI so you know where everything is, that may be quite dull if you have used it before but this is for complete beginners. There’s no ‘fluff’ but this video may appear very boring if you have a working knowledge of the software already. If you’re after actual sculpting, I have now released a very about that and not just the UI
you are to fast. there is no way to do it at the same time while watching it. it's like you are in rush and you want to finish this tutorial very quick. so i have to press every 5 seconds pause and play
Hi there, so this video isn’t really one to follow along with as it’s just me showing new users how to get started and where buttons sit. Since it’s showing off most features of the UI, there’s a lot to go through and the video is already pretty long.
Zbrush is a complicated piece of software and my suggestion would be to watch this so you know how the software works overall then have a go yourself after and experiment. If you still feel it’s going too quickly maybe try the video speed options, or you can just rewatch any sections that you don’t get :)
You can use the pause button. Oy Vey..
I don't have the bag, so couldn't keep following your directions. Bye.
You’re more than able to follow this with any model.
