We pumped out 158 videos in just under 3 months - I did my best to grind through it as fast as I could, but thank you to everyone for being patient and joining me through the journey - Now that we're done with with this series, I've got some real fun things I'd like to share with you guys next, but we'll talk more about that in the next few videos. In the meanwhile, thanks again for all the support and I'll see ya in the next vid :) Also, If you like any of those Anime-Shaded Monsters demonstrated in the video, you can check them out on my ArtStation store here - www.artstation.com/royalskies/store

I have a question, I bought myself a course to learn zbrush and because I wanted to learn how to make my self some vrchat modules.I did not take blender because the courses for blender look really cartoony and not at all awesome like the beginners course with sci fi characters that i buy. So my question is can I rig zbrush characters with blender or another program?

@blancostudio3d Год назад

Waiting for UE5👿👿👿👿 also, you made a great job in terms of NPR character models I am waiting to see the NPR environments saga 😼😸

@Poi-ul4lr Год назад

Just use both. Most professionals use Maya/Zbrush, but I think Blender/Zbrush workflow is just as powerful. Blender is more of a replacement for Maya than Zbrush imho. But sculpting in Zbrush is simply unmatched and you will never want to go back to Blender sculpting after using it.

It’s so impressive how much you’ve done nonstop for so long with this series! And I can tell it has dealt a huge blow to your viewership, but still you persist because no one else makes this kind of content the way you make it, and it’s all to help people learn on their own while you also learn for your own craft. Thanks, man. You rock!

@sway71 Год назад

Totally agree. I'll admit that I tuned out the notifications at first since I don't have ZBrush, but I think people shouldn't be so obsessive about their loyalty to a technology. It shouldn't surprise people that the specialized software is better at its specialty than the well rounded free one. I do feel like sculpting is my specialty, and one day I'd like to learn ZBrush, but I will always use Blender in some capacity because of its amazing features and versatility. I think it's safe to say that both are phenomenal products, but any professional worth their salt should know when to use what tools.

@christopherking541 Год назад

Good comparison. Better than mine. I've told others. I compared the two as Blender being an all terrain jeep, and ZBrush being a Formula 1 car. You can do a lot more with a jeep. But if all you are expecting to do is win a race on a flat track, you want the Formula 1 car. For that's what it's made to do. So if you want to make an indie 3D short film, you want Blender. If you are making models for a toy company, or making models for a pro made movie, you want ZBrush.

It's been 2 months with waking up and going to sleep with ZBrush already? Damn, time sure flies. It's been a short, clean and easily understandable tutorial series sir, thanks for all your effort. I don't think I'll make a living out of sculpting, but it was fun to stick by. When I have the courage to start modeling (and game developing), I'll go back to your older series at some point too. But until then, I hope you'll have a faaaantastic day, and I'll see you around!

@lastbaiken1177 Год назад

Been debating for a long while if I should do the jump to Zbrush or not. I started learning character sculpting and like you said, I can do some cool stuff in Blender but sometimes it takes so long to do basic things. Guess this video is what I needed to push me.

@ZigealFaust Год назад

I use both and it really does save time. I can bust a character out in a single afternoon, then take it to blender for rigging and everything else. I can't imagine only using one prog now.

@Glitch-Gremlin Год назад

@wehibebelachew3527 Год назад

Exactly the same here, debating should I get Zbrush or stay...This Video said it all, and helped to decide to go with Zbrush and better to learn industries standard software...

@TheTyroofToriyama Год назад

All I needed was to realize that Zbrush users don’t have the same problems and have to feel dumb for trynna sculpt properly in blender Imagine demanding that we learn really tricky geometry and don’t even get the same possibilities anyway When sculpting, it’s flat-out inferior, not an alternative. I’m kinda mad that I wasted all this time cos I promised people some good results a while ago but I went straight for hyper realism cos that’s what I was aiming for in drawing at the time. All I did was I work myself into a corner for daring to use traditional and obvious methods. If I can import my blender model and see the same things done easily then I’ll see a direct comparison while saving my model. If this works like I expect then such a massive weight will be lifted off my shoulders. Will legit change my life if I can finally get around the roadblocks of 3d sculpting and move forwards towards good portfolio. So mad that they got me jumping through hoops just to transfer skills I already had

@ronentai5950 Год назад

as an automotive technician and game design enthusiast the comparisons is rather accurate, when you're doing it as a hobby to start you really don't have the luxury of time. so learning the standard is what I wanted to know. and this really narrowed down what and where I want/needed to focus my time on character model creation. much appreciated!

@mahdibenane Год назад

I'm 100% with you on this. I started sculpting in Zbrush moved to blender because I needed to do a lot more than just sculpting... I don't like to spend weeks on a project because time is important to me. Blender helped with that... I could sculpt model texture rig and animate in a single software. Fast jobs and fast results. but If I only want to sculpt Zbrush was really fun and intuitive for when I started. So yeah Zbrush is a sculpting software easy to pick up, hard to master. Blender is a everything 2D/3D software easy to pick up hard to master with a more ease in-ease out learning curve. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what tools you use. What matters is, are you using the right tool for the job? Today I use Substance for texturing and blender for everything else since blender has got cool tools for sculpting since the days of 2.6 but till today I think blender is still lacking in texturing tools.

This is a great summary though on when you should choose one over the other. So I'll admire the Z brush features from afar but at least I know what's possible now.

@matbrady123456 Год назад

I agree with the conclusion of the video, but I'll say that it's true today and may not necessarily be true at some point in the future. Blender has an unparalleled rate of change. I believe it has something like 18 full-time coders at the Blender Foundation. Things improve rapidly, far more than any other program I know. But today, in 2022, I agree with this video.

@SamAsMe Год назад

Thanks for the video. This is exactly what I was confused about wanting to get in back into 3d sculpting after 10 plus years out of it. Blender wasn't really this big back then and I was wandering if it offers the same organic sculpting feel, this video confirmed to mee that it doesn't.

@christuusgnosis Год назад

The best comparison ever. Zbrush is quirky, strange, and blistering fast There is so much power and customizability. As a zbrush hobbyist I do find blender essential because zbrush doesn't rig, and checking and adjusting uv's made in zbrush is easier in blender. That super screwdriver paired with the swiss army knife is a great combination You can build the whole thing game ready with 2 tools and it is so much better than if you only use one. I wish more blender users would try zbrush mini and consider adding zbrush core to their workflow. They can do so much more when used together. Even if you have things like maya/max, oddly enough blender comes in handy all the time, and there is no other sculpt tool like ZB Its nice that both will run on kind of lame hardware too. Great vid.

@pauliusmscichauskas558 Год назад

I jumped to sculpting from Zbrush to Blender like 10'ish years ago. Back then, Zbrush couldn't do all that it can do now, obviously. But after all those years, now Blender can definitely do all that Zbrush could do 10 years ago and more. That lack of features back then, in Zbrush, never stopped people from creating amazing stuff for games and movies. If all you do is sculpt, then you are right, Zbrush is a better choice, Blender is behind. But the benefit of not jumping programs for a task, if you are doing more than just sculpting, is HUGE. It saves so much time.

@user-hf3ul8rf7n 5 месяцев назад

You're talking a lot of nonsense. I worked with Blender for 5 years, blender sculpting still sucks, blender can't compete with the version of zbrush from 10 years ago. Zbrush is a sculpting program on its own, while blender does many things. That's why it's always missing

@pauliusmscichauskas558 5 месяцев назад

@@user-hf3ul8rf7n I have been using blender since blender 2.4, Blender 4.1 does many things, and that is why it is better than Zbrush 10 years ago. Zbrush couldn't pose models, edit the polygons, do dynamic topology, re-mesh models, do real-time shaders, or anything remotely like that, back then. The only downside of blender, compared to that old Zbrush version that I used last, that i can think of, is high polycount performance. Maybe the default brushes felt better, but that's subjective... Otherwise, Blender now is better than Zbrush was back then. Oh, and btw, Blender default brushes will get an update soon.

@pyton9553 Месяц назад

High polycount performance can be fixed in blender easily with some optimisation tricks and modifiers. For most cases 10-15m poly is enough for a high-detailed model which Blender can handle without optimisation. I know that ZBrush users often go over, but it's unnecessary.

@filnisius2153 Месяц назад

@@pyton9553 Complete nonsense. You can't apply micro details such as skin wrinkles and skin pores on a full naked character with only 10-15m polys. It's impossible, regardless of the software. The 10-15m poly mark you are referring to do only applies to head busts, and even then, not all of them. Try sculpting, a professional AAA standard dragon for film or even videogames with only 10m polys and see how far you go. All of the micro detailing will either be blurred or just not there at all. Blender sculpting is good for stylized sculpting or if you rely exclusively on texturing xyz workflow, which only really works for humans or very human looking humanoids.

@-Rook- Год назад

Sounds like a fair conclusion. I must admit this is not a series I have followed because I have no intention of picking up Z-Brush. I am a hobbyist artist that does a bit of everything in blender and its nice having a single tool with a lot of common methods, mechanisms and interfaces across it many features. I don't have to buy a stack of tools and plug-ins, don't have to keep up with the intricacies of each package and their revisions for me with my low volume of varied work I feel it saves time and lots of money (especially as these companies move to monthly subscriptions and mandatory online logins).

Thanks for this comparison video, it really highlights the differences between the two software. I still think Zbrush is still way too expensive for anyone who is still learning and/or not making money off of their models. Something I would love to see is a 3DCoat vs Zbrush comparison video, as they are both sculpting specialized software. 3DCoat also has extensive 3D texture painting, texture map baking, and a 1-time purchase price model; it seems like a great package.

@BobbyJ529 Год назад

Proper comparison. Going to piss off the younger blender fans. Been using zbrush for over 10 years. Started using blender for non work sculpting for the last 2-3 years. Blender sculpt is capable but it isn't even on the level of mudbox which is itself almost half as good as zbrush. Very useable though. I've found that i prefer Blender's camera so when I'm doing certain type of character work I'll sometimes start in blender for the first couple hours then bring it over to zbrush when the camera matters less and performance and zbrush wizardry and polish is needed. So basically, blender has replaced mudbox for me for certain task but zbrush brings everything home.

Thanks for the comparison! I’m not sure if I’d ever buy it, but I tried Core Mini and the trial and… sculpting in Zbrush is not compared. When you start pulling and pushing around it was surprised how smooth it feels. Disappointing that the free versions don’t allow subtools so you can only go so far, but I guess that’s how they reel you in. I love Blender because it’s free and plenty HAVE made wonderful sculpts of varying styles, but sometimes I wish I could afford and justify paying for Zbrush. Like you say some of the clunky setup and settings and remeshing isn’t as smooth as Zbrush. Thanks for your videos!
