0:25 "In my experience it's better to start with a sphere than a star" haha legend

I've felt lost and out of my depth, unable to bridge my knowledge of anatomy to 3d sculpting. Until I found these videos you created. They tied together everything I've learned about anatomy and creating things in zbrush, bridging the gap that I was missing. You sir are a legend and these videos are worth their weight in gold. Thank you for putting the time in to create all your tutorials :) I'm now binge watching your speed sculpts!

i've been struggling with zbrush for character modeling and your tutorials are by far the best out there. Thanks a lot

Danny you are a LEGEND! Currently learning head base meshes and this is perfect. You're gonna save me so much in my learning process ❤️❤️❤️

Fantastic efficient workflow Sir Danny! Thank you for this tutorial, I cannot wait for the next one!

thank you for the video i really appreciate how it doesn't take 10 years for you to explain this its quick and precise very professional

I dont have wax sphere..OH its called PolySphere. Great video! Really excited to get into modeling again

@@minirlz That is an incredibly inconsiderate comment to make, everyone learns differently. I find the reminders extremely helpful myself. You could be typing this out to someone who has 10+ years of experience in a different tool who has to learn a new workflow. 'Basic Initiative' is exactly what this person is doing by asking for something that'll help them accomplish learning something easier.

I just found your channel after looking for some tips on head sculpting - Really loving the tutorials, nicely explained and a nice pace, subbed and liked, cheers!

Very Well Made ZBrush Tutorial,and easy to follow along-new fan here just Subscribed!

Best head sculpting lesson I've ever seen!

I've always been impressed by the beauty and purity of your sculpts and I'm so glad to see that you began publishing something else than just speed sculpts ;) Thanks a lot for sharing.

Thank you for your time for makin´ these tuts. Amazed that you had answered in the comm section to some Qs that are pretty much "how to use a pencil". Got the base going on part2 but first some Gnomon Zbrush stuff so I can get along. Anyways, thx!

Thank you so much for this man.I am a modeling student and this helps so much :)

alright, this took me slightly longer than 13 min, but I def connected with the tutorial (once i was able to decode the accent) and have already learned a few new tricks from you, danny mac. now on to the eyes!

Man I was confused how you show the Draw menu right under your cursor, then I saw fleetingly in your custom menus video: Menu shortcut! Beginners often lost on something so basic. Great tutorial series, thank you!

I'm a Game Artist student, and you are just so amazing ! I love your work so much. I hope I can have your skills one day !

This is ace, Danny :) I have two weeks spare to get into Z Brush properly and this is SOOO helpful!

I learned how to use the traditional transpose tool thanks to this (I always used the gimbal). I couldn't figure out how to redraw my transpose line until I tapped on the alt/option key.

@yoericktv9610

And then I found out that wasn't it. You just have to draw from the object. Zbrush is quite a lot of fun after the initial road blocks.

So strange your way of doing this, but I love it! What made you start doing it this way? It seems so much better than the way I've been doing it, which was guessing where all of these proportions and things go. Also, thanks a ton for doing this in real time

@DannyMac3d

If u go to transform, you will find a solo button click on it and make sure the head is selected

thanks danny for your tutorials, I'm new on zbrush, I would like to know, what is the purpose of the polygroups in the face when you are sculpting in other videos, please let us know thanks

Hello and thank you for this video! I was wondering, did you use Dynamesh or Zremesh at some point for the head geometry? I just couldn't find where you did it and how but the head seems to have less subdivisions at some point after the neck is made. Thanks!

I want to use zbrush so badly right now.. But I'm still learning Photoshop. I'm so jealous! If I could commission a 3D model of a character in my book, I totally would!!

Hello! Thank you for your amazing tutorials, I'm new en zbrush sculpting and I have a doubt, is it better to sculpt in perspective or in ortographic? I have looked in google and opinions differ a lot from one another, as a professional what do you recommend? Thanks a lot!

Hi! thanks for the tutorial, how do you bring up the green line that is used to bring up the head at @1:52 ? thanks!!

I just felt in love.

Hi, Can you please tell me what key you pressed to have that point of view ? at 1:19 thank you ( btw nice tutorial, very helpful )

Are cylinders, spheres picked from the Quick Pick menu appended as sub tool or anything else?

Did you use a lot of Ryan Kingsliens content when learning zBrush? Who were some of your favorite teachers when you were getting deep into this software?

@DannyMac3d

7 жыл бұрын

Hey, actually this is the most influence from Ryan Kingslien you will see from me but his stuff is great. It's hard to say really, I didn't focus too much on learning the software more on how to make a good image and that has come from so many different tutorials, many not even related to 3d. Some notable guys who influenced how I use Zbrush though are: Michael Defeo, Danny Williams, Dylan Ekren, Shane Olsen, Matt Thorup, Chris Whitaker & Steve James.

Thank YOU !

The closest solution that i did find was to move it up holding the alt key. After that i released the alt key and move it down a little to align with the grid, used some smooth and the result is quite similar. But i still want to know how you do it Danny.

How do you get up the Quick Pick when you're making the cylinder (4:31 - 4:33)?

Dont know if its because im in a new version, or I messed something up somewhere, but my ZBrush files dont have any "Default" Spheres? I see DynaWaxSpheres, but they all seem too high res to start with. Their polygroups and edgeloops look different from the one used in the vid. Thanks for any help!
