Zbrush, 3ds Max, Substance 3d Painter, Bane Creation Course

Explore the full workflow from 3d block out to rendering in this urban design tutorial, guiding you through designing and finalizing a 3d render.

Begin your base mesh by starting with a mannequin, access the mannequin folder, and rotate the joints to establish pose before proceeding to refine and prepare for sculpting.

Block main shapes in ZBrush by building a rough silhouette from a base mesh, using reference imagery and sculpting brushes to add volume to arms, shoulders, torso, and neck.

Continue refining a 3d character model with the move brush, fixing head proportions and defining chest, abs, obliques, traps, shoulders, and arms while matching reference and smoothing jagged edges.

Learn to refine main shapes in Zbrush by using scans as reference, iteratively shaping the abdomen, shoulders, arms, and forearms while comparing from multiple angles and using real references.

Refine the mask by sculpting to match a reference, adjust neck and jaw proportions, build volume with clay build and clip brushes, and apply color to define eyes.

block out belt, chest piece, and straps using the cleave pillar brush to define shapes, refine topology, and mirror components against references.

Block a t-shirt and straps in zbrush, refining shape with masking, extract and polish features, adjust proportions, and sculpt fist details while checking from every angle.

Refine the body by subdividing the model using layers, sculpting muscles with clay brushes and alpha details, and aligning with references to preserve prior details.

Refine the body sculpture by shaping the lower back, chest, and obliques with brushwork, preserving earlier details while seeking defined muscle separations and accurate anatomy.

Refine the arm anatomy in ZBrush by sculpting triceps, forearm muscles, and shoulder definitions, using reference imagery and standard clay build brush to add muscle separations and surface details.

Continue sculpting fists in ZBrush, refining landmarks and finger separations with references, adding volume and tissue detail, and posing with the gizmo using masks and transforms.

Refine a character model using clay and standard brushes, adjust the shirt and body to reveal secondary shapes, muscle fibers, and better proportions with subdivision algorithm.

Refine t-shirt folds in ZBrush by using vertical back folds, alpha brushes, and topology tools, guided by references, with non-destructive duplicates to test proportions and refine shapes.

Sculpt and refine muscle fibers on a 3d character, adjusting topology and layers for detail. Project a t-shirt onto the body and fine-tune textures and smoothing.

Refine the 3d model by adding muscle separations with the standard brush, shaping shoulder muscle fibers and softening surface details for more defined, realistic anatomy.

Refine the character mask and shoulder anatomy by adjusting proportions, exploring shapes, and adding muscle definition with brushes and references.

Refine the mask in Zbrush by rebuilding subdivision levels, fixing topology, and adjusting materials, while using the brush, lasso tool, and dynamic subdivisions to restore detail and clean borders.

Refine a 3d character by sculpting natural muscles from reference and add a t-shirt pattern with noise for surface detail, planning support loops to fix jagged edges.

Apply alpha and wing brushes to add veins, adjusting size and placement to match reference, while masking to prevent unwanted projection and iterating by erasing and redoing when needed.

Continue refining the model's anatomy with sculpting brushes to bulk up the shape, define surfaces, and apply alpha textures to break the skin surface and add pores and subtle imperfections.

Learn to add a pattern to a mask by projecting details, duplicating and merging mask areas, and refining with brushes to create volume and a cleaner pattern on the model.

Add lines to the mask and refine details by masking, inverting, and applying patterns to selected regions, disable symmetry for variation, and adjust the eyes and nasal areas.

Continue refining a mask design by detailing the shoulders and muscle fibers. Use brush techniques to rework features in this bane creation course chapter.

The instructor refines the shoulders and traps, enlarging the traps for a better front view, then projects details onto the t-shirt while managing wrinkle layers.

Learn base creation in Zbrush by extruding, selecting, and centering geometry, refining with subdivision levels, and mirroring details for clean renders.

Apply subdivisions to refine the gloves, tweak stitches and seams with layers, and use move and scale brushes to adjust proportions and design details.

Refine glove details by adjusting lines and knuckles, applying layers and masks to shape borders, control value, and pattern for a realistic material look.

Continue refining a 3d model by reworking symmetry, adding brush-based details to gloves, and using masks to control noise, guided by references.

Continue adding details to gloves using the correct brush, refine the piece with color work, and deliver a Borderlands-inspired look.

Refine props by adding surface details and textures, including wrinkles and scratches, using brushes and subdivision to transform a mask and a t-shirt into a cohesive final model.

Keep the texturing base simple and focus on essential elements like the mask and channel to define texture quality.

Explore body texturing using smart materials, applying red tones and skin colors with a spray brush, and adjusting density and intensity to achieve subtle surface color.

Explore creating glove textures by testing gloss with a dimension material, layering smart materials, and adjusting surface details, color, and roughness across knuckles.

Texture a mask using two smart materials, one cell phone and the other damage to smart materials, and tweak the materials from the mesh.

Layer a texture mask with color first, then dirt, then a mask editor layer, and adjust levels and paint to modulate intensity, ultimately intensifying edges.

Intensify the texturing of a t-shirt and add color to the edges, using the mesh series for enhanced results.
