This course builds on our previous course: “Sculpt a 3D printable Skeleton model in Zbrush”, but it is not necessary to have taken that class before this one. This course is completely approachable to a first time beginner using Zbrush.

Join our lead 3D Modeler Josh O’hala as he recreates the exact same Skeleton Warrior models that we sell to customers. You will be guided through our professional production pipeline:

• You will learn how to become comfortable navigating Zbrush.
• You will learn how to add simple geometry to your project which will be used later.
• Learn to create many weapons and Armors
• Learn to create various accessories to bring your Warriors to life
• You will learn how to use many commonly used brushes as well as specialized brushes to create beautiful and accurate sculpts.
• The lessons learned will be reinforced as Josh guides you through creating the entire skeleton model.
• You will learn how to pose your skeleton to create many variations of models.
• You will learn how to optimize your model for 3D printing.
• You will learn the process of making your model 3D printable.
• and much more! visit us on youtube (runeforge studios) for examples of our models and tutorials.
