I will slowly and fully explain how to start using Zbrush, how to navigate the interface. The variuos things you need to know to model a head, horns, torso, armors, sword and even a cape, all in Zubrush. While we are working on our character, we will learn how to work with the most important Zbrush functions. I will not make this super complicated by going through everything in Zbrush. I will show you only the things you really need to know to make a fully finished high poly character.
We will start by getting familiar with the basic interface and navigation in Zbrush. After that I will show you how to customize your workflow to work much faster again in Zbrush. Then we will start the character from sphere, I will guide you through the process of starting your sculpt and add new elements to it, like horns, arms and body. After that we will create, and adjust the armor. Then we will create the legs and refine the arms. We will go trough the process of making the cape, and also add spikes to the armor. After that i will show you how to make a hard surface object in Zbrush, fast and efficient by making the sword. Then you will learn how to add details on your model so it will look much more appealing. We will also paint the model so it will have better presentation. Following will be a breaf intro to posing the character, until it is time to go trough materials and light in Zbrush. After we apply and are happy with our materials and light setup, we can start rendering the character with Zbrush and then combining the passes in Photoshop, to achieve a professional look.

Instructor Details

NIkolay Naydenov

I have interest in arts since i was a very little kid. I was drawing all the time at school and at home. I was barely going out to play with the other kids, and later to go to night clubs. Drawing and books were my passions. Later i became a Graphic Designer and now i am 3D character artist at Gameloft from 2009 till present days. When i discovered Zbrush it was like a revelation for me. What freedom it gives you to do whatever you want. I love this program. Zbrush for me is like Notepad, i feel super comfortable in it and i love using it professional and freely at home to do some imaginative creatures. I love to teach people and watch them grow their skills.

Not very good resolution of the video though but good explanation

There is a lot of back and forth, we will learn this, no we won't, actually we will. I was struggling to work out what he is doing. Mentioning stuff that will be in another video. Seems pretty disorganised.

Very good tutorial! If you follow it to the end, you are allowed to say you are not a beginner anymore. Still have a lot to learn, but you really have a grasp on the basics.

Can't say anything just yet......

First lesson was good. I made an alien space craft, once i figured out how to use the brushes, and from a basic understanding I will be able to start sculpting in under 25 minutes. Also gives you the basics you need to get started really quickly.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and jokes :D. I hope you create more curses like that.
Cheers and "muito obrigado" from Brazil.

This took me a lot of time to finish the course, because there was so much to learn.
I decided to jump into this course to print out some 3d prints.
It was very hard to learn, but absolutely worth in your 3d life lol.
Thank you, Mr. Nikolay.
I bought another video of yours a few days ago. I like the way you teach.
