Final Words

What You Will Learn?

  • This class assumes no prior knowledge in zBrush and starts from the beginning, aiming to give you a basic foundation to build upon..
  • Most zBrush courses are not aimed at 3D printing tabletop miniatures as the end product. And because of that they may cover things that may not be of use to you, and may skip teaching things that are good to know when exporting models for 3D printing..
  • My goal is to create a simple and easy to follow beginner level class that helps you to experience an early victory of holding your own 3D printed miniature in your hand to feel more motivated about continuing your journey of sculpting minis with zBrush..
  • In the first section I will launch zBrush with you for the first time together, and show you how to quickly get into edit mode to start playing with digital clay. Then I will show you how to customize your UI to better follow the rest of the course. In the next section I go through the various tools and functions we will be using most. And finally I will show you the entire process start to finish of creating a simple target dummy miniature for 3D printing. .
  • And as an added bonus to students of this course, I have created a Discord group you can join to share progress and ask for feedback or for help. (see project resources for the link).
