A very cool trick to pose characters in & outside ZBrush 

When i import the mesh i loose the layer and all subdivid :( my mesh are exactly the same Any idea? thank you so much

Hi Pablo, you lost your details in the last part when importing the scaled object and rescaling it in ZBrush. You can see the details disappearing when you apply the layer 45:40. I think the import/export options can fix it, or you can invert the scaling before export in Blender. I like to warn people to be cautious when messing around with scale in ZBrush because the only way to avoid traps is to be meticulous.

thank you sir

Hi Pablo. How to do a quick Dynamesh to subdivision without using the project history option?

You should do a tutorial just like this but using AccuRIG instead of Mixamo. From the few videos I've seen AccuRIG does a better job. Also maybe pose a more complex character with multiple Subtools just my .02

thank you man!!!!

did you try using Blender to make poses with rigify? I fount it much easier to make the pose you want but for some unknown reason, you cant import the model back into Zbrush with out losing your subdivisions, do you know what the problem could be?

13:21 you're showing the tedious way, why? The easiest way is with the gizmo activated for multiple subtools You must make a Ctrl+Shift Lasso selection for the subtools you wanna move and Ctrl+Shift+Alt for those you don't wanna move. Easy.

Easy way to deal with multiple subtools, is mask, group mask, merge. If you want after posing then you can split to groups.

Thank you very much.

Hi Pablo, thanks for your video.But I had problem with import into layers. I lost the subdivision. In fact, the problem came from the polygroups. It works when i export the Tpose without polygroup.After import/export from Blender, I find the subdivisions after import into layers. Is there maybe an option in blender to manage multi groups for export ?

You are a life saver... I never thought about masking then rotating. I was being dumb and trying to select and then rotate

Great one. Thx a lot.

Dude I love you.

This trick is amazing! Best workflow for posing and maintaining multires sculpting! I am, however, having a lot of difficulty trying to figure out how to effectively use this trick with multiple subtools. You suggested using Transpose Master, but it isn't really working for me... It would be amazing if you could do a follow-up video with a step-by-step tutorial for using Mixamo and layers to pose a mesh with multiple subtools?? Please 🙏😁

It's amazing dude You're a perfect teacher I needed this tutorial so much!! Never don't stop please!!! ur work... ❤🔝

Superb tutorial. Very well explained and presented!

Ojalá algun dia pueda tomar un workshop tuyo :')

great stuff! thank you so much ☺️

Un capo!!! gracias amigo!

Scaling level 0 is not something I'd recommend since it warps/blurs your upper level details. You can change the size after you import the new level 0, preferably on a separate layer too.

What if you have to make your own pose, not found in mixamo?

Hey Pablo, thanks for the tutorial, fantastic as always! Anyway the posing outside of ZBrush method could be applied to a model that has multiple subtools?

Excellent tutorial Pablo, thanks! How would you go about a clothed character or a character with subtools such as eyes and teeth for instance?

Pablo, Thank you so much for this lesson! Liked, subscribed and sharing the link in discord servers I'm currently in. If you were starting a new sculpt would you do all the attachments (extras) for the character before doing the mixamo pose method or after? it almost seems like it could be done either way with this method you came up with. I had no idea layers could be so powerful.

For some reason when I import the posed model, all subdivitions are lost. Does anyone has Any tips? thx!

Thanks Pablo to share your tricks & knowledges in Zbrush! Me gustaría también ver tus contenidos en lengua hispana para los que se limitan a aprender ,por la barrera del idioma.Gracias de nuevo🖖🤓

Thank You so much for that tutorial, it helped me a lot with my work! Thank You very much!

Can i also export all my subtools together and pose it in mixamo and import it back in zbrush and still have all the subtools details?

Hola Pablo, excelente video, me ayudó bastante. Solamente tuve un problema al implementarlo a mi modelo con múltiples subtools. Cree un layer así como mencionas y luego utilicé transpose master, posé a mi personaje y todo el proceso, el problema es que el layer tuvo efecto solo en el cuerpo, las demás subtools no se vieron afectadas. Quiero pensar que tenía que activar el layer en cada subtool, pero ¿cómo hacerlo de tal manera que no tenga que ir una por una? ya que sería un proceso bastante engorroso. De antemano, muchas gracias!

Woah! Excellent thanks

Mam you are genus 👍

Very handy, thank you!

This is Gold, thanks Pablo.

Hola Pablo, hice todos los pasos, todo tal como se explica, no funciona, al importar la maya posada, queda sin niveles y sin detalles

Wonder if the same can be done with a character that is separated into many subtools.

Awesome tut

I tried to find a solution to this problem for years! I Thought it was not possible in ZB, Thanks, you rocks

If only there was a way to give you two thumbs up! Fantastic content - thank you!

Thank you, man! The last one method (with layers) is new for me and very helpful!

great content as always, currently getting through your extra mile series

Pablo, would you please add subtitles for this old one?

Grandísimo truco. Usaba mixamo para posar mis modelos de zbrush pero claro, perdía los a detalles y no sabía cómo recuperarlos. Ya que si subes a mixamo modelos con más detalles, suele dar error por eso hay que subirlos con las subdivisiones al mínimo. Supongo que el programa intermedio a usar da igual no?? Yo uso cinema 4d y espero poder sacar el modelo posado al igual que tú haces con blender.... sino pues me instalaré blender. En cuanto pueda pruebo este truco. Mil gracias 👌😉

man this kind of content its out of this world so much quality in here thank you!!!

What an awesome tutorial! Thank you!

This video is so extremely useful! thank you!!

Been looking for a video like this, thank you.

Would like to see more of posing with layers.

thanks a lot, very nice trick!! can save a lot of time!

I've followed this video exactly and tried cinem4d as well as blender but the import back into Zbrush does not work. I always encounter an error window

Thanks Pablo, really usefull stuff.

The select lasso trick alone makes this video worth it. Thanks alot.

gracias por su tiempo en compartir con nosotros

you are expressing your thoughts so quickly. I watched your tutorial at 0.5 speed just to have time to read the subtitles :D thank you))

Great one. Thx a lot.

thank you pablo

Thank you,Love that layer trick!

This is incredibly helpful. I had a question about another topic. How do you go about establishing proportions in Zbrush while blocking out a character ?

Thanks for always giving awesome, useful, Excellence Knowledge... Big fan of your work... ❤️👍

Can we use tpose master along with the layers method to sculpt with symmetry after posing? Or does it only work with a single subtool 🤔

Great as always, thank you Pablo

Thank u so much!

@Pablo Muñoz Gómez Every time i take my model to a low sub.D level my layers stop recording and mess up my model.
