Course Info 

In this course, we will learn how to create a female barbarian warrior character in ZBrush using only the tools that ZBrush itself provides. We will start by remodeling the female basemesh that comes with the program. Then you will learn how to invent and prototype your design, how to develop it from scratch and adjust it easily until we reach the silhouette and forms we like.  We will understand how the Zmodeler brush works by making a simple knife.  We will go through the process of making realistic eyes, make every piece of armor from scratch and detail them. You will learn how to make basic hair from Fibermesh and also make the character weapon. Then we will learn how to make fine skin detail as well as armor detail. Lastly we will go through the process of posing the character to get the most out of it. At the end we will have a professional looking high polygonal character in Zbrush.
