#ZBRUSH CUSTOM BRUSHES INSTALL#
I will show you how you can customize this brush just in case you don't want to install it separately.
This brush is based on the clay build-up brush that comes with ZBrush. It basically just builds up the surface, but in a way that I've customized a little bit to just make things a little smoother. There's nothing too fancy about this brush. Let's hit B again to open up the Brush Palette and try the customclay brush. Now, let's zoom in here by clicking-and -dragging on the scale, and let's try that brush one more time. I am going to hit Ctrl+D, and just do that three times. Let's subdivide this surface a few times so that we get a smoother result. To rotate around as a quick reminder, you can just click-and-drag on any open part of the canvas. Okay, so you can see that the brush just creates a nice crease on the surface of the model. Go ahead and click on crease and let's just see how this works. So we've got the crease brush, the customclay brush and the shorthair brush. So you can see there is these last three brushes here which are the custom brushes that we just installed. Double-click on that and let's open up the Brush Palette by clicking on the standard brush over here. Now this brush is kind of chunky, kind of rough, kind of blocky.Īnd just to have a model to work on, let's open up the default DynaWax. Watch video This brush is based on the clay build-up brush that comes with ZBrush. I don't seem to have all my ZBrush brushes loaded by default, particularly Mallet Fast brush, which seems to be a standard in a lot of tutorials I'm watching. The customer brushes are located in the Ch_01, Exercise Files, folder 01_01, and you will just want to select all of these and copy them, and then paste them over in the BrushPresets folder.
On a PC, you will go to the Program Files (x86), and then open up the Pixologic folder, ZBrush 4R2, ZStartup, and BrushPresets folder. On a Mac, you'll navigate to your Applications folder, and then open up the ZBrush folder. Then, you'll want to find your ZBrush program files.
First of all, if ZBrush is open, go ahead and close it down. I'm including these brushes as part of this course to help you get some of the same results that I will be showing you. Over the years, I've used that customizability to create a few special brushes that have really sped up my workflow.
