Can someone recommend some ZBrush sculpting technique training.

I know my way around the interface (basically) and I'd like to do some hard surface work.



Something like this.

I want the edges well-defined and the altitudes of all the levels even. I'm assuming lazymouse to keep the curves smooth, symmetry, and masking, and then -- what, exactly, if I want an even, smooth surface to puff out or depress.

Rapidly played back sculpting videos don't teach me that much.

Any suggestions?

Planar and Trim brushes would allow you to carve in a similar way to how that was made in reality -- there are some decent free videos here: http://www.pixologic.com/zclassroom/hom ... son=planer

Best,
Jason.

I'll check them out; thanks.

ZBrush has been something I've not at all been using to its potential.

I'd rather suggest this tool for pain-free scultping: http://www.sculptris.com

Indeed Sculptris is great, I never made a head before in my live, and this is what I made as first model in Sculptris some time ago:



I wish there would be an update soon, bacause development looks a bit dead at this moment.
But still, in this state it's already a great tool!!

I'll have to try that

wow Curt... you made it from scratch..? super... I could never do that...

... with real clay, I am good.. but in CG sculpt, I suck... hahahha

Sculptris is seamlessly equal, you should try it Hervé! Even Atlas can sculpt

Thanks Hervé! yes I did, and no tutorial or example images used, it's that intuitive, like Tom says, just like real clay!
You can even use a pressure sensitive tablet
