ZBRUSH-SUBSTANCE PAINTER-MARMOSET TOOLBAG

No prior knowledge of Substance needed!

We will start in Zbrush, doing Hard Surface modeling by mastering Zmodeler! We will model a SF Grenade based on 2d design by Ben Mauro!

I will show you my workflow for doing retopology in Zbrush, we will leverage the power of booleans and polygorups, all to create an exceptional model that we will bring into Substance Painter! If you never used Substance Painter, i got you covered- with an Introduction to Substance Painter section!

We will make complex textures and materials in Substance Painter and in the end render it all within Substance Painter, export it to Photoshop to create our final hero shot with just minor CC!

BUT we will not stop there! Once that is done we will go back into Zbrush to take our sculpt to the lowest poly count possible! Once we make the low poly model, we will bring it back into Substance Painter, transfer our surface and texture material from our previous sculpt! We now how a game ready low poly model!

We will take this into Marmoset Toolbag! If you never used it before, no worries, i make an introduction to Marmoset and take you step by step as we recreate our Substance materials and create an awesome scene that is now real time rendered in Marmoset! We use the Artstation export withing Marmoset to publish our model on Artstation so you can show the world your creation in full 3d glory!

I really enjoy how the steps are explained on how to approach the project. When working on complex shapes, it's easy to get overwhelmed when trying to figure out where to start first.

Great course for everyone that wants to learn more about hardsurface in zbrush. I searched at a lot of websites for hardsurface tutorials, and this one was the best by far. Easy to learn, fast lessons, you don't feel lost and makes zmodeler pretty easy to understand

Note: I was given this course for free in an offer from the instructor. Overall this is a great course. I really like it. The focus is on Zmodeler not on Zbrush for concept art or chararacters. This is not really for beginners but he gives a basic explanation of the tools used at the beginning. I decided on this course as it seemed like a good addition to my understanding of how a concept to game ready asset works, and because I like his previous course I took. Great course but not for beginners.

Estuvo bueno el curso, ya tenía un conocimiento previo de Z y me sirvió para aprender puntos nuevos. Si eres novato te recomiendo tener un poco de base ya que hay conceptos que no se ven. Respecto a punto a mejorar uno sería la cámara no es necesario ya que tapa una parte de la grabación de la pantalla, y el otro punto sería la parte de mapas UV, muy superficial lo abordado siendo importante en el resultado final de la cocción, podría brindar soluciones o tipos para el despliegue de los mapas y demás cosas para tener un buen corte de mapas. En líneas generales bien, conforme con el precio que pagué (lo compré con descuento) por la información que me proporcionó.

Ich wollte einiges über den Z-Modeller von ZBrush erfahren und hier wurden mir sehr wertvolle Informationen gezeigt die ich für eigene Projekte sehr gut umsetzen kann. Der Tutor ist sehr cool und ist sich auch nicht zu schade zu zeigen dass er Fehler macht. Das gibt einem ein gutes Gefühl für sich selbst. Wenn man selbst Fehler macht, denkt man das man schlecht in einer Sache ist. Aber wenn selbst Profis so etwas passiert normalisiert sich die eigene Schwäche sehr stark. Das Tutorial hat mich auf jeden Fall sehr viel weiter gebracht.

Very Easy to understand but you have to hold down Ctrl with Alt to move palette options into new palettes. In the video you say just hold down Alt and click.

This is a good, enjoyable course. Milivoj is a good teacher, and a funny guy! I felt like I knew him from years and was just listening how he explains things to me, as my friend. Even when I know it's a pre-recorded course, I imagine that I was talking with the teacher, face to face. I agree in that some videos could be shorter, just a little edition could make it. I'll keep this course handy, in my favorites list.

Great tutorial, if you are new to ZBrush I recommend Milivoj's other Udemy course called 'Learn Zbrush-Ultimate course 4 beginners/intermediate' before doing this one. Both are well worth the time and money.

Like this instructors previous course, its engaging its fun and the lecturer has a wacky sense of humour and always puts a smile on your face. He is very knowledgable about these programs and as a Game Art University student these were vital to my understanding of these programs. Its a no brainer! You won't regret it!

I got so many courses from so many different people but he is my favorite about givin really usefull tips for not making mistakes, if u learn from beginning like this (mean not making mistakes when ur modelling or learning to modelling 3d.) and mixing ur knowledge, its going to be very easy to understand main logic.

5 stars will not be enough to rate this amazing course by Milivoj Popovic. The course deals with basics of Zmodeler to create hard surface, retopology in Zbrush and Substance Painter, Marmoset Toolbag. Milivoj's teaching is always unique and this course also reflects the same. He helps us understand the philosophy behind using a method or tool and how it can contribute to improve the artwork, rather than teaching only the software and techniques. This course was extremely helpful for me and will definitely help others. Highly recommended. Thanks again Sir!!
