Character Modeling in Zbrush - Beginner Tutorial
149New to Zbrush and Character modeling? This is the tutorial for you! I included 14 Tips for Beginners and more Intermediate sculptors alike, showing how I approach Designing and sculpting in Zbrush.
For this video I am creating an Alien Character and I included almost 100% of the Sculpting process.
From Blockout to final Skin Detailing.
I hope you enjoy it!

I start this tutorial with the ‚Headplanes‘ Ztool that can be found in Zbrushs ‚Lightbox‘ Content library.
With the basic Design principles in mind I start modeling my character, using Dynamesh until I am satisfied with the overall Look of the sculpt.
Then I move on to Retopologize the Character with Zremesher (2018 Legacy mode) and continue sculpting while adding the necessary Subdivision levels to refine the shapes.
Once the secondary shapes and few tertiary shapes are in place I create UV‘s using Zbrushs UV Master plugin. Now I can use a seamless texture in Noisemaker to apply Micro skin detail.
From that point I really start to sculpt in all the tertiary shapes, small details and skin wrinkles.
I only use the basic Brushes in this process, Like Dam Standard, Standard and Clay buildup.
The rest of the video is a timelapse of that process and that wraps up this short Beginner Tutorial.
I hope it was useful! Thanks a lot for Watching!
