Now that we have our main guy fleshed out, it's time to create his trusty sidekick, 'Sidekat.' We use the same steps that created our main character, beginning with a ZSphere stick model and converting it using Adaptive Skin. I utilize DynaMesh in order to sculpt a beard and mohawk using Standard, Move and Dam_Standard brushes.Īdding DynaMesh facial hair Step 04: Creating Sidekat To add some simple hair, append another sphere, duplicate it and place the spheres in appropriate locations for editing. Sculpting the base mesh Step 03: Facial hair To create the eyes, append a sphere, being sure that you mirror and weld across the X axis for symmetry (Tool > Geometry > Modify Topology > Mirror and Weld). Take your time developing your base mesh even though our character will be covered in armor, most of his armor will conform to his base mesh and so will inherit any flaws from its foundation base. Every brush is essentially the Move brush, so try to get as much as you can out of it before sculpting on large forms. Use the Clay, Move, and Smooth brushes to edit your model. Undo and increase the resolution until your model has increased in geometry. After we have established some basic forms, navigate to Tool > Geometry > DynaMesh, and click the DynaMesh button.

Subdivide the mesh a few times and we can begin sculpting in some rough anatomy. Now our little guy is available as a new low-res ZTool to begin our journey.

Navigate to Tools > Adaptive Skin > Make Adaptive Skin. Now we want to convert our ZSphere man into geometry that we can sculpt on. Making a stick man with ZSpheres Step 02: Blocking out Under the Transform palette, use the Move tool to manipulate ZSpheres and the Scale tool to size the spheres up or down. Now that we are set up, draw out ZSphere joints. Next turn on symmetry on the X axis, located in the Transform > Activate Symmetry > X. Next we want to make sure we are facing the front of our sphere by locating Front View (Texture > Image Plane > Front). We get things started by selecting a ZSphere from the Tool menu.

We'll cover how to develop and edit hard-surface geometry, making good use of the mesh generation tools and SubTool splitting to manage multiple parts as if our character was real.

We'll use basic ZBrush tools like ZSpheres, DynaMesh, sculpting brushes, and Polypaint. In this tutorial we will cover how to create a stylized character wearing a sci-fi suit of armor, from beginning to end in ZBrush. Character artist Pierre Rogers shares the process behind his stylized sci-fi duo 'Foxer and Sidekat', using beginner-friendly ZBrush tools.
