There are ways to sculpt at higher resolution, but you will need to bake the sculpt as a displacement map for the base resolution figure. I even got a small drawing tablet for use with sculpting in Blender, a pressure sensitive "pen" and tablet is a must for sculpting IMHO.One thing to keep in mind though, if you aren't a vendor here, you will only be able to "sculpt" at base resolution. I started using the sculpting tools in Blender 2.8 after watching a short tutorial on YouTube, it's pretty intuitive. There should be some tutorials on YouTube for using Blender to sculpt DAZ figures. In fact, it would probably be easier to learn than zBrush (It has a bit of a reputation for being quite hard to learn). It has changed dramatically, so it should be fairly easy for you to learn now. The interface in Blender 2.8 is much easier to learn than previous versions. I just don't know how long it will take me to get used to its interface. So it is a case that they just say, "I Zbrushed it", when in fact they used something else? It certainly is that way with Photoshop, and I even say "Photoshop it", when I really am using Gimp.Īll in all it would seem most logical.to.go with Blender since it is.like Maya and does.everything.

Yes I have noticed that when someone uses a sculpting program they always mention Zbrush and there is pretty much no mention of "was created in Blender", or mention of "created in 3d Coat". Mudbox is another tool with sculpting and painting. I'm not sure who uses it but it probably doesn't get mentioned in product pages as it doesn't have the same name-recognition (people who Google may well say they Googled something, but people using other engines probably don't say they "Binggedit" or "DuckDuckGoed it" since the reply would be "?"). I know there is Zbrush Core which is cheaper to buy, but I heard it doesn't UV map. But if it doesn't work with Daz, then I am not sure if I should bother. Since I never used a sculpting program before, naturally, I would lean to something like Sculptris to start with since is of little monetary risk to me as it is free. So I am curious now as if you CAN use these programs or can you only use Zbrush with Da z to create a custom character?

Once again, I have not seen artists mention using this program. Can Sculptris be used? Further I have come across another program called 3s Coat, and many have stated this is an easier program to learn, but it is not as endowed as Zbrush, as such it is a cheaper purchase. So I figured I could start with this first, however, I have not come across an artist that mentions using this program to create thier character. So while poking around on te Pixlogic page, I had come across Sculptris, which is and older variant of Zbrush.
#ZBRUSH 3D COAT WORKFLOW FULL VERSION#
The full version of Zbrush costs over $800. While I have looked into this program, I have never used a sculpting program before. I have noticed that when I would purchase a custom character that the artist often mentions that he/she used Zbrush.
