CREATING A HIGH RES ZBRUSH MESH

Here's a little of my work flow in ZBrush 1.55b. I do use Normal mapping in Lightwave and this method can be used to create high res meshes to be taken out of ZB and used for normal mapping in LW (but thats not why I do it, I just like the ZB output)

Creature Project published in 3D World - part 1 of 3

This lesson is a part 1 of ZBrush Creature project originally published in 3D World Magazine. In this project we will show you the workflow of taking a poly cube and converting it into a Monster's head, which will be rendered inside ZBrush. We will not be getting into the texturing process, just modeling. Once your model is finished, you will be able to export it into any 3D program of your choice.

Sculpt with Zbrush

In this tutorial, I’ll explore the process I use for creating a digital maquette from a design sketch. I’ll use both ZBrush and Maya, but you can use your preferred 3D application. The interplay between ZBrush and a poly modelling package is crucial to my workflow. Although this tutorial will present the process as a linear one, in practice, it’s often iterative – starting with a sketch, moving on to a 3D sculpt and back to a sketch.
