041 Beginner Exercise - Creature Video Lecture | Zbrush: Create Realistic Modelling - Professional Skills

I could just keep doing this and doing
this now if you want to get into the
alien stuff or creature stuff it's same
basic principle I'm gonna go ahead and
drop the resolution down on this one a
little bit and basically it's just a
matter of going in here and going okay
so what kind of creature do I want do I
want something that's like gonna be like
insect Isle and I'm gonna turn lazy
Mouse off while I'm just kind of feeling
it out so we can have like an insect
I'll mouth here and then maybe the
jawline comes out and up and maybe
there's a to so many snake hook to kind
of do you know drastic drastic changes
to my silhouette here and maybe I want
these like pincers like come out around
maybe and then I can inflate those up
and then we're going with the eyes to go
the humanoid is it gonna be like six
eyes here or it's gonna be like spider
eyes here and here so it's kind of up to
you depending on what you want to do and
of course it's creature so you're gonna
want to get in here and play around with
your big shapes and feel it out and
maybe get rid of the bosoms depending on
know what kind of look you're going for
and it's gonna be robotic is it gonna be
and like I said insect I'll or you can
just spin it upside down and start from
the top here and maybe it's got quite an
under hang under jaw here let's go ahead
and dig these in here
claybuildup
and of course since you have dynamesh on
you can you can use that snake hook
pretty liberally and not have to worry
too much
let's go ahead and flake this out here
and if you're doing crazier creatures
you can try doings a little bit of Zee
sketching maybe if you're doing a lot of
tentacle type things or maybe adding sub
tools to kind of make sure you know you
can keep things separate so you can kind
of focus on a face with tentacles coming
out but you know while you're staying
you know loose
something's coming out of here and I can
go turn X cemetry off and I can have
this like swing around and come back
around and kind of maybe you know that
one snakes over here this is all stuff I
could flush out later if I want it to be
like turning lazy mouse off and maybe I
can go in here I'm just lazy Mouse off
and then go in here and add little
suckers on there maybe even know what
these things are turned X symmetry back
on I can flip these up
like I said I could do this all day so
it's not just like sketching you know
you sit down for a lunch period and you
just go in here and yeah you sketch for
a little while and you can sketch a
ninja turtle or you can sketch an animal
or you can sketch an alien creature you
can sketch caricatures or do somebody in
the office or you can do anatomy studies
literally with everything you know right
now all of that is well within your
grasp all of it I mean all I'm doing is
move brush standard brush nothing fancy
dynamesh you know if you can do it with
clay you can do it with what you've been
shown so far you know is the idea I'm
trying to get across here but again I
don't know I don't even know what this
thing is you know what let's put some
veins on the side of his head here and
let's call it a day old John Carpenter a
little uh little Cronenberg here let's
go ahead and make him a little alien
insectile pod body and stern lazy mouse
on just give him some plates here
give them a
little sphincter shoots his little webs
out maybe and of course he's gonna need
legs so you can do these fears for that
or you can just be real quick and dirty
with some snake hook and inflate that
snake hook and inflate and you can
inflate these joints here smooth them
down maybe give these things a little
bit of plate work little articulation
maybe give some more balm well
crustacean bumps here and if I want to
let's do something a little bit fancier
so I'm gonna hold down control shift
actually control I'll do mask lasso and
it's the best way to do this so first
I'm gonna actually position these I'm
actually gonna mask these out invert
that rotate these just a tad
oops now you know what have the accident
that wasn't too bad
so rotate that up and now I want to UM
make some copies of these like so I'm
gonna do is duplicate this character
select it go to solo mode and then
control shift and isolates we're gonna
grab this isolate these legs just in
case he gets crashing do a quick save
here and then you're rid of that control
shift and alt and now I'm gonna do a
close holds mirror and weld actually
let's do a delete hidden close holzmeir
and well then a quick save so now I'm
gonna go out of solo mode here so now
I've got copies of these legs I can go
ahead and just go ahead and drag those
back rotate these around now and maybe I
want to make these a little bit longer
or a little bit bigger so I can scale
them up rotate them down and around and
if I want to make a copy I'll have to do
is hold down control shift and drag a
copy out or a control drag actually and
then I can rotate these back around
rotate there we go
if I want these legs it's got a top for
you and rotate these around cool weird
captain gross creature and we'll go
ahead and merge these down it's like the
top one and then do a merge down control
swipe to dynamesh that and I can go
ahead and instantly to round here to
kind of stick these together a little
bit better here there we go and then
I'll inflate around either these things
give it like a little bit of a little
fat wrinkle around the joints here it
kind of looks kind of like flop around
and kind of gush around while he's
walking a little fat build up and maybe
give him a little fat belly or a little
shell belly here do the little lines
across here I don't know crustacean
insect creature captain and I'll go
ahead and delineate this so he's got
like a little crab shell up here too
there we go he's got something gross
going on back here a little
Oh creature thing and then maybe he's
got some bumps up here and then this is
his you know what I don't want to face
in there I want just something just
nasty so I'm gonna just smooth that out
dig this in and I'm just gonna do like a
serrated tongue mouth or something let's
go ahead and get in here and just kind
of give him some ridges
oh you know what let's go ahead and dig
this in and then maybe inside of that
let's do a brush insert sphere and we'll
drag this out rotate it around it will
snake hook this thing
and actually it's gonna isolate that
into its on subtool the split hidden and
then we'll smooth this and that split
hidden for you would be under split
split hidden if you have something
hiding and I'm gonna go out of x-mode
here and we'll have insert brushes for
this eventually but we'll go ahead and
just give this a nasty little thing
Flake this up and if you want to make
this a tentacle instead of a tongue you
can go ahead and just put some ridges
down the side and then turn off lazy
mouse and then make sure it's turn off
lazy Mouse sorry and actually it's a
clay brush maybe kind of build these up
there we go there's something gross to
put in there or whatever so here's your
weirdo a little creature that doesn't
look like his neck articulates very well
so we'll go ahead and give him some
plates so we can kind of grossly move
his neck around and maybe build these up
give him a little bit of a armour
backing to like maybe a soft shell
underbelly this is where if you catch
him and you crack him open his little
underbelly's gonna be softer and you can
have a little crab legs or whatever but
anyways weirdo creature sculpt from I
don't remember where those originated
but from one of our heads
