In this chapter we will see some of the basics that I use for ZBrush. This is not

an introductory course for ZBrush so you should have some basics of the software

for now. But what I would take you through is a bit of which brushes I

use and we will do some quick exercise to get our hands loose so we will be

ready with a bit of practice before we start in the phase. So what I do always

when I open the file is I go to new document to scale the window here and

what I will do now is I will start with I will go here to the spotlight and I

will take maybe for example this dog. I like this dog to start sometimes to

play and what we'll take you through is a bit of which are the brushes that I

use in general

So I like to use, I have some shortcuts for, for the brushes, but what I try to

do, what I use the most is in general, like when you press B, the keyboard, you

will have this quick peek of the brushes.

So what I do is, for example, I press B, M, T, sorry, let's go back.

B, M, T, and then we'll have the topological brush, for example.

So these are really nice brush that I like to use, where what you do here is you are

different with a normal move brush.

You can move without affecting the rest of the topology.

Let's say if you have, for example, two, for example, for the eyes is really good in

general.

So for example, if you would have the eyes together like this, if you use the normal

brush, so for example, if you press B.

M and then you go to B, so B and B that one I have a shortcut so that's why sorry I didn't

got in my head so fast. With that one if you want to move the eye you will move the entire thing

but if you do BMT to do the move topological like when you move you will move only the side

that you want to move without affecting the other one so basically what does is it has a falloff

that it goes through the topology and not for the entire surface so I think again like the

move topological is a brush that I use quite a lot so let's go let's fix the eye of this guy

back I will turn on symmetry here and another brush that I use a lot is a clay build up so if you do

B

clay build and then you go to where I said

so it's B C B if I'm not wrong again so let's say B C B and I have clay build up and this is

the brush that I think I use the most with the move brush so for example let's subdivide this

mesh a bit and what I love about this brush let's go a bit subdivide it a bit more what I love about

this brush is that it gives a bit of texture so when you are sculpting you will have especially

for example if you sculpt up skin and stuff like that the face you will have already some texture

to it so then for example you can smooth and let's go back here

so what this is one of the brushes i use the most so if you go in a lower subdivision it's increase

without going too hard and what i do in general is i reduce the intensity so i work for example in

like 10 or 8 or something like that and if i want to for example i work like this and i try to go

opposite to the direction like perpendicular to the direction where i'm going with this

and and i think i don't know it's you shouldn't take this as like oh you need to use this brush

i think it's a matter of getting used to one and in general for example i use like only a few brushes

i use like maybe four or five and not more than that and and i think that's that's not a big deal

in general like you should you should try to see which brush do you feel comfortable and

and do it like that like honestly

there are some artists that for the same thing that I'm doing here they will use

a standard brush or play tubes so it's it's a matter of preferences like

honestly I'm just telling you which brushes I use but then it's it's your

pick what you will do so another of the brushes is the standard brush that is

more when I need to for example do something a bit sharper in this case or

when when I let me subdivide here a bit more so for example if I work if I work

in wrinkles I do a mix between the standard brush and the dumb standard so

this I think is it's a really nice brush also so for example if we do like this

and then you do with this with the standard brush you can define

you can define shapes like this for example to do a scar or something like that

i think dumb standard and

dumb standard and the standard brush i think are a nice combination together and for example if i

would need to do some wrinkles also as i mentioned before i will go to the dumb standard that i have

as a shortcut in the in the five so let's say that we go here it's not subdivided enough

let me go a bit more so let's say that i have here this a bit too strong so i will go i will

reduce intensity a bit and what i will do is i will do it smaller so let's say that i do this

wrinkle here then i will go a bit more detail of how to the wrinkles and here i'm doing it quite

quick just to introduce the brushes but for example i do like that then i use the standard brush

to this again is too strong i'll go a bit lower

standard brush to

to make this a bit more defined and then what i will do also is to do to use the pinch brush

and to get this a bit more pinched let's say again this i'm doing it quite fast

it's not really doing a wrinkle but just to show you some of the brushes that i use

um so honestly summarizing i use more start brushes so would be the move topological

let me go a bit in lower subdivision so i use the move topological

the normal move brush depending of what i'm what i'm trying to do

then if you press shift

you do a smooth on the surface so that I use it also quite a lot I try to not

smooth a lot but at the end especially for faces like you will end using it so

you have like more a smooth feeling but try to use it without removing details

so while we create the face then we will go a bit more in detail of like how how

I use each of these brushes and and why they are so important each of them so

then summarizing again move topological

normal move brush clay buildup standard brush let me that was a bit low

intensity standard brush

down standard

let me go a couple of solutions more down standard and

and the pinch brush let's say that's some of the most then there are other brushes and if you

press b here you will find a lot of different options so you will see in our way that i might

use some of the other ones but in general they are the ones that i just showed you
