What you'll learn

In this ZBrush tutorial we will learn how to create a scary creature with ZBrush, starting from the basic blocked-in meshes and finishing with high-res details and textures. Throughout these lessons we will learn the key features to design a memorable and terrifying female monster within ZBrush. We'll start by using a concept painting that we'll use as source of inspiration and then move to ZBrush. In ZBrush, we'll block out a basic mesh using the DynaMesh feature. Eventually, we'll start to add details and paint a very complex texture map. We'll also learn how sometimes design ideas can change even when the design is almost ready. Get ready for some scary stuff! Software required: ZBrush4R5.
