If you are ever going to try a 45-day trial, think your model through in advance. Importing an STL file into ZBrush was quite straightforward, unlike moving and scaling the imported model. The pot is actually taken from my earlier Tinkercad model “Cactus in a Pot”.
#EXTEND ZBRUSH TRIAL HOW TO#
While designing a pot I cheated a little bit, due to the lack of experience of how to start from scratch with this particular shape, with the flat bottom and even thin walls. I had to work out how to increase and reduce triangle count which is complicated in my opinion. Most of it was 3D sculpted using 2-3 brushes only. 3D Designing in ZBrush – Pot Before After Imported and Remixed PotĮaster Bunny model started off as a sphere. If you already know two or three, the next language comes much easier, the same as with coding, I guess. It is very similar to learning different languages. Just don’t forget to add “3d printing” as a keyword, if you want to learn design for 3D printing. There is a wide range of courses available to master different software.
#EXTEND ZBRUSH TRIAL SOFTWARE#
If you are sure that this is the software you want to master, I would recommend buying a course from the trusted designers for 3d printing. I kept coming back to these tutorials as I progressed and found particular pointers that previously were hard to digest. Some videos are very helpful that teach how to use the software at different stages. Examples: “ZBrush zoom out on scroll”, “ZBrush thin surface”, “ZBrush reduce file size”, etc. It’s important to type in the right phrases in search, every time starting with “ZBrush …”.
There is a lot of tips to be found in Google. (Tip: Go to Navigation tab, then press Ctrl+Alt while clicking on “IN” button, then scroll the wheel – this will create a shortcut. As I got comfortable to easy Tinkercad navigation, the first thing to do in ZBrush was to bind Zoom In/Zoom Out to a mouse scroll. Sadly, every CAD software has its own navigation system. (Photo: 3DWithUs) Getting Used to ZBrush Software That’s when designers-to-be receive a new wave of inspiration and a will to continue learning and perfecting the model. It may have no detail, expressions or have abnormal parts that look unimpressive in CAD, but bring joy when printed out. One of the bonuses of 3D printing is to be able to touch and feel the model at an early stage. There is something satisfactory in 3D sculpting and I was happy to work with the “king” of all 3D sculpting software. I started learning 3D designing with Tinkercad, moving on to Meshmixer and later dipping a bit into Fusion 360. Well, at least that’s what happened in my case. Ability to 3D print an unfinished model and to materialise work in progress is a great incentive for new designers to carry on. Others, usually self-learners, discovered 3D designing as they went along. Some were designing prior they got into 3D printing. It seems like there are two types of 3D designers.
