There are two basic ways to pick color in Zbrush: either by picking one from the color picker or by using the “eyedropper” to select one from the image.
This is where we go to more traditional style painting in Zbrush.įirst, let’s pick a color to paint. Not bad, but it looks a tad flat and pasted together, not to mention the fact that large parts are still not textured. Go back to Draw (hotkey Q) and Zproject away!Īfter a while, this is what I came up with. Go to Move (hotkey W) and then draw the handle from where you want the texture to the part of the texture you wish to transfer (think of Photoshop’s Clone brush). You can also use the transpose handle to more precisely place textures. Rotate and scale the skull as needed to cover the key parts of the skull with bone textures. The texture underneath will transfer to the skull. Select the Zproject brush and set RgbIntensity to 100 Position the skull over the image, and run the Zproject brush over it. Make sure Rgb is on, and Zadd/Zsubtract/Zcut are all off. If you look at the upper right, you will see that you have about a million active points. Open up the geometry palette, and click it five times. Next, select “texture off” on the texture palette, White Matcap on material palette, and select our skull. It doesn’t have to be human, just look for some nice bone textures and cracks.

I used some copyright free images of skulls that I bought online, but I believe Wikipedia Commons has some nice common domain images of various skulls. Go to the texture palette and import a nice texture you want to put on the skull, select Flat Color for the material, then crop and fill the texture to the background. Now, make a new document (Cntrl-N, or go to “document” at the top). Just as we did when we changed the material of the sphere before sculpting, make sure “M” is on, select White Matcap from the materials palette, go up to “color” and “Fill Object”. Long explanation short, red wax makes the texture look red, so we want something nice and white such as White Matcap. In other words, while the final texture colour is independent of the material colour, whilst we are working on it, the material will change how the texture looks to use. The material really won’t do anything to the actual texture we create, but it affects what we see in Zbrush. First we need to change the material of the skull. Just to recap, however, I will review the use of the Zproject brush here.

We save this as a Ztool (not an object just yet), then watch Vlad Bjornson’s tutorial on how to use Zproject to polypaint :D If you recall, we had just sculpted a nice red wax skull. *How to export that texture and the object for use in Second Life. *How to change said color to a texture, and use said texture for final sculpting.
*How to use alphas to create realistic painting effects.
*How to polypaint, using the different brush strokes and settings. *How to use the color picker to select colors for polypainting. *How to use the Zproject brush to transfer premade textures to the object. This time around, hopefully you will learn: The following objectives may seem like an awful lot, but really, it's all very simple. Welcome back! I’m now going to continue where I left off.
