Here is a tip for sculpting in zbrush that a lot of beginners dont know. this goes for 3D Coat, Blender and the like too... ALWAYS sculpt in low resolution and move upwards in resolution as you need more detail. If you start out with high rez, be it in dynamesh or subdiv, its VERY VERY VERY HARD to get your shapes correct early on. And shapes are literally the backbone, the DNA, THE LITERAL FOUNDATION of your work. That goes for 2D as well. Very few artists can draw without doing guidelines first, but NO sculptors can sculpt without the shapes and foundation for the details to sit on. Just my little tip i learned early on many, many years ago.

Also i forgot to add, when you start out in 3D programs sculpting in high rez at first, imagine it sorta like working with warm clay to build the face or whatever up, then putting it in the icebox to cool it off for detail? Same thing. If you try to sculpt big shapes with ice cold, ultra hard clay you'll have a bad time. Same goes for ultra warm clay for handling or details. VERY annoying to deal with. Constant smudges and ruined work.

I am a beginner jeweler cannot begin to describe you how much this video has helped me man.... Thanks for taking the time and walking us through this.

Straight to the point video with no bs. Thanks for that!

That was extremely valuable, thank you. I'm trying to create a 3D PVC patch and wanted to give the main visual a bit more depth and texture. Also, I wanted to make a terrain relief with distance marks and details for my windowsill for a while and was stuck with how to achieve that. This will help.

Just started yesterday with fusion and your tutorial was completely understandable. Didn't knew I could do that!

This is one of my favorite videos, I keep watching it and I've gone as far as modeling something I want to carve in the CNC, but still have not. Just wanted to pass by and say thank you, while I watch it again to get motivated to carve what I modeled.

Thanks. Great video, but that music is kind of annoying.

Great intro to the concepts! Love the fixture/tape method for two sided machining. I'll be using that trick for sure :).

Thank you so much! It's like a lightbulb moment for me-so clear and easy to grasp!

This is a fantastic video! I just got a CNC, and I've been watching a lot of tutorial videos to work on expanding my capabilities. This was really helpful.

Probably one of the most useful videos I've ever seen on youtube. Great job!

I have been trying to figure out how to do a 3d image of my dog that passed a couple weeks ago. Very concise explanation of where I need to start! Excellent video!

Excellent demonstration of workflow, exactly what I was looking for. I love the integration of the softwares. Thank you, I have some research to do now, hah. You do beautiful work

Excellent video, I was looking for something as straight forward as this.

In one video you've solved most of my issues and got a new subscriber

Thanks so much for sharing this process. Woke up with an idea and now I have a bit more direction on how to do it.

this is really neatly done and makes the sculpting step really easy and understandable.

Excellent video! Exactly what I needed to see. THANKS!

That was an exceptional piece of work! Thank You for sharing!

Great video, the use of a jig and tape to hold a piece you repeat took me off guard, very clever.

You are magic. So short and so clear. Really thank you.

If you ever need any paid tutorials or chracks for Zbrush, let me know. Ive been helping people get those for a while now, to help people learn the program. I was a SUPERFAN of the program, until they sold out to Maxon, i still love the program, but now i help people get it for free cause to hell with maxon "the greedy company that bought the program"

Thank you Chemical, been struggling with ways to do this, tried box modeling first but ahhhh just not great and takes for ever. This should work great.

WOW! Amazing. Excellent tutorial. It will be a while before I can catch up to you, but very inspirational. Thanks for sharing.

Hey thanks for this. That's a very cool workflow!

Thank you. Excellent intro

This is amazing thank you so much this is going to change my whole process.

ooo god uh r such a saviour man 🥺 thanks for the tutorial , everything single thing is so clear , love uh🥺

So good! Thanks for sharing

Perfect. Exactly what I needed.

Wow this is amazing. I’ve attempt to sculpt multiple times now with different programs and I never get the shape I want. I’m going to seriously try this technique with blender or some other free program.

El MAGNIFICO)). no Words more! Thank you !

I loved this!! Thank you man!!

Fantastic video! Thanks for sharing!!!!

This is a great video. Nice job..I haven't used Zbrush but now I am going to have to check it out.

I have been playing around with Fusion 360 for a couple years. Every now and then I'll get frustrated with the whole mess and play a guitar instead, only to find out I can't remember how to play more than a few songs. I have a cnc router and it has been quite an experience by itself. My main goal is to take a photo and create a 3D model from it. Every time I come back to try again I find videos I haven't seen yet demonstrating software I've never heard of. If we didn't have the internet and I had to do this old school with the local library resources I doubt I would get very far. The technology advances faster than they can get the books on the shelves. The books they do have are always checked out. The internet changed everything didn't it? Thank you for taking the time to show the rest of us what probably took you a good while to sort out.

Nicely done, thanks. Cheers, JAYTEE

Great stuff. Thanks a lot. I was wanting to do some medallions and this could come in handy. Are the functions you used available in the free versions of those softwares?

Great tutorial!

Also when smoothing if sculptures pro is enabled you can do finer smoothing keeping detail!

Great tutorial, thanks.

The Fusion 360 Image2Surface Addin may help in this process. You would be able to quickly convert the heart image to a mesh and to a T-Spline surface.

amazing tuto thks bro !!

most brushes can add more vertices if you enable sculptures pro. Quick tip!!!!! Its the round button to the left of MRGB at the top the button looks kind of like yin and yang.

thanks for the idea :D

So beautiful

As a fast base for organic objects like this you can always shove any image into a program like materialize which is small and FREE where you can generate a heightmap and then use that as a good starting point or even find that good enough without going through most of this process. You can either displace geo in Blender or in zbrush with the heightmap or drag the alpha onto a plane.

thank you so much !!!!

hi, have you tried using a texture brush? i just discovered this in blender - you use a 2d black and white image to deform surface texture. you wont get the complete depth and your image might need some photoshopping, but after that its basically just ONE click to get you 90% of the work done.

wow. thank you

this beat fire

Thanks for the tutorial, just what i was looking for... Which tablet are you using? I've been looking at getting one with a screen for design work...

Exactly!

@Chemical 14 Awesome Man, great Method!!!

If you want a nice basemesh from a depth / height map to begin the sculpt process 3d Coat or inflate bitmap in Curvy 3D is useful

thx for share, u a refference !

Pretty cool. I was hoping for something simpler though like using a pic in greyscale.

Is this possible with the "ZBrushCore" license for ~15€? Or do I need the very expensive license?

When I first got started I just watched whatever tutorials for Fusion I could find on KZread. After that I just started trying things. Just being persistent and not being scared to screw up is what will get you where you want to go.

this is great - well done. really terrific tutorial on a lot of levels. now, PLEASE find a rubber heart replica, painted as realistically as possible and place it in that box and perhaps fill it with a clear epoxy. Let nosey people just 'discover' the contents of the heart box.

You can also bring the image file into zbrush for your reference!!!

Awesome work! Are you able to use the G-code generated from Fusion 360 for a proprietary program like the Shark HD4 ( Nextwave CNC)? I know that there is an export option for Shark CNC but I have also heard that generic G-code will not work and you have to use Vectric V-Carve Pro.

@Chemical14

When you export your gcode from fusion you get a lot of options for post processing for different systems. If your system is in the list just select that and it’ll work. Lots of hobbyist cncs are grbl based (like shapeoko) so in that case you just select the grbl post processor. You can also find other post processor add-ons that people have made if you don’t see your system in the list.
