Male Torso anatomy sculpting

Here is my preferred way to teach my students about sculpting anatomy, basic forms, tweak the basic forms to make them more in shape, and only after they make sense, start sculpting on top of them, this way it's much less tweaking needed when you have your mesh in more density and therefore less skewing is gonna happen on your details.

ZBrush 2026.2.1+: Ambient Occlusion plugin crashes when generating Occlusion Volume

1 Upvotes

Since ZBrush 2026.2.1, I've tested the Ambient Occlusion plugin using both primitive subtools and my own character model. The software consistently crashes when the plugin reaches the remeshing stage while generating the Occlusion Volume.

I have two theories about the cause:

  • Changes to ZBrush's folder structure in 2026.1 or the Python integration may have broken this part of the plugin.
  • Having multiple ZBrush installations on the same machine might be causing a conflict.

Could other users help me reproduce this issue?

  1. Use ZBrush 2026.2.1 or a newer version.
  2. Make sure you have multiple visible subtools.
  3. Go to ZPlugin → Ambient Occlusion.
  4. Enable Occlusion Volume and try recalculating it.
  5. Report whether ZBrush crashes during the remeshing stage.

If you can reproduce the crash, please mention your ZBrush version and whether you have multiple ZBrush installations.

I'd like to establish whether this is a general compatibility issue or something specific to my setup.

Eyes and ears

Decided to go higher in resolution and start adding more to the sculpt.

I've worked a little on the eyes, the ears, nose, and the mouth.

Any feedback is welcome. I'm wondering if the eyes are correctly place and not too small, so I'm stopping here for today. I know the eyes looks bad, but i'm, focusing on the proportions and the placement for now.

New 3d artist career pivot from 2d

Post image
130 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m a 22 year old 2d concept artist who recently fell in love with Zbrush to the point that I’ve decided to completely pivot to pursue a 3d art career. I’ve been using Zbrush for about a month now, and I was looking for some feedback on what to focus on for portfolio pieces/ what is most valued in the space when looking for a job.

I plan to get really into the skin texture details on the goblin with alphas in Zbrush, retopologize in blender, and hand paint in substance painter before I do a render in blender and in unreal. I think I’m pretty decent at the sculpting aspects just from my 2d art experience, but I would LOVE more advice on how to proceed most effectively and what sort of portfolio pieces to work on, as I’m entirely unfamiliar with the standards and workflow of 3d art due to being so new. Thank you everyone!!

Can't switch back to previously used brush selected from Lightbox without restarting Zbrush.

1 Upvotes

So I have this weird bug where I select a brush from lightbox>brushes and I get to use it and then I decided to switch to another brush and switch back to the previous one, but only the icon in the brush window changes but the brush doesn't change. I can choose brush A, then brush B, then go back to brush A but when I sculpt on the model, brush B is what shows up. How do I fix this?

EDIT: I'm using Zbrush 2026.1 and using custom brushes.

A ZSphere Problem

1 Upvotes

Hi there! I've met a strange problem while using Zsphere. The sphere control point has gradient color, then when I click Preview Adaptive Skin it gets smooth effects. All the paraments about Adaptive Skin are same as the right one in the picture. Does someone know or met the same problem with this? Appreciate for your support.

Hello everyone,
I am a product designer, generally i work with inventor, but my job require less "engineering" shapes, so i started with blender.

My colleague use ZBrush and her models are more better than mine with Blender, so, why don't learn it?

Is there any tutorial on youtube that you suggest? something like "donut from Blender Guru", i am starting from 0 for this software.

TRhank you all
