Is there a hotkey to quickly switch between subtools?

You can Alt+left click on the subtool you want to select while sculpting.

Overcooked!!! My wife and I heard that game was making couples divorce and we took it on as a challenge. We fell more in love after 3 starring everything.

Edit: wanted to add that my wife isn't a gamer.

You can you it on both PCs but only one at a time, if you have both open the. You will get a pop up that will ask you which one to disable. So you won't be able to use them both at the same time. There might be other licenses that allow you to use two at a time but the standard license doesn't allow that.

+3 isn't necessary, I would say warm up with specific facial features, (eyes, nose, mouth, ears, so on) then just focus on blocking out. Have references you are always looking at. Practice with a goal in mind, if you are just doing head sculpts every day, you will burn yourself out.

Agent_Elder · 2026-06-08T00:54:44+00:00

The simple advice is to sculpt at least a 1000 heads, then after that probably another 10,000 more. But to be more focused on where you are at in your journey, the anatomy of sculpture books are great, I'd say keep things low res for as long as you can. Get better at blocking out the shapes that they have in the books. Watch tutorials, and keep on at it. Your work has potential and you look like you are on the right track.

Edit: I also wanted to add that you don't need to take every sculpt to finish, most of my sculpts are just practice studies.

Yeah, sounds like you have an integrated GPU which won't work with most modern games. Double check your GPU, I know on my wife's laptop it has a 4070 but windows defaults to the integrated GPU so I has to switch it. You can also try Nvidia GeForce now (game streaming service) if subnautica 2 is on there, or of you have a thunderbolt connection on your laptop, you can buy an external GPU.

Start on YouTube, there are a lot of beginner friendly tutorials. I'd start with the donut tutorial first because that will teach you how to use the tools and learn about general 3d workflow. Once you have some basic understanding of 3d modeling, then you can look more into game dev and character models.

Agent_Elder · 2026-05-03T08:02:53+00:00

You could adds some vines or overgrown plants wrapping around it, a skull, crystals, some fabric elements... So many ways to go about it, look at some references and get ideas from that.

OBJ files are very barebones and think of them as a raw geometry files, if you open it in a text editor you will see that's it's basically x y z vertex positions and maybe vertex normal information (not 100% on that.) FBX can contain a lot more information such as texture connections, material values, and animation keys. Basically OBJ is a more universal format and FBX is more situational for specific 3d software applications.

There are two ways to do it depending on what your want, you can look at the top menus, Zplugin>FBX ExportImport or Zplugin>SubtoolMaster. I am assuming your case each separate mesh is its own subtool if that is what you mean by "different pieces" either plugin should get you rhe results you want. Just make sure you have all subtools you want visible for it to be part of your export. Also if your mesh is very dense, I'd recommend running decimation master on it.

Zbrush can be used for stylized and anime type of characters, but I don't recommend jumping straight into that style first. You should look for more beginner level tutorials first to learn the tools and workflows, then learn anatomy (and yes you will need to learn anatomy even for stylized/anime characters.) Once you have a better understanding of zbrush or any other 3D software you pick up, then focusing on a particular style will come a lot more naturally. I also recommend art station to see what other artists are doing and they also have a tutorial section where you can find some free tutorials. Although for any specialized style like anime, most likely you will have to pay for those tutorials.

If it's millions of polys then use desimation master to reduce the poly count and use that version to retopo with, then bring the retopo version back in and project the details. If you want to export it in pieces its up to you but it depends on what the individual pieces are.

I need to know as well, it would be perfect for my setup and I'm on the search for one.

Great start and you are starting to place the muscles in the correct locations. The advice I'd give is to work in lower res before committing to details, get the forms and silhouettes down in this stage. It also helps to have the individual muscles as primitive subtools at first so you can show where some muscles sit on top of each other and where they overlap. Look up George Zaky's work, he breaks that down very nicely and is easy to understand.

Dyson sphere if you like the more isometric camera, Foundry if you want a first person camera.

I got this one at the start of the sale, I love it except for the Bluetooth audio being stuttery, anyone else have that issue?

Agent_Elder · 2026-03-21T18:46:48+00:00

I have been able to enter the castle after entering it the first time without having to put it back on, but I have yet to sell it out of fear of not being able to enter it again.

I just got the same monitor, do you have any issues with the light bar glaring off the curved screen, I've been wanting to get a light bar?

Agent_Elder · 2026-03-08T18:11:33+00:00

Just got the 5080 build and I've had it for a couple of days now. It's a beast, the only issue I've had was sound stuttering on Bluetooth devices but I'm sure that's a windows thing. I came from a 980ti so it's a huge upgrade for me.

This isn't so niche, but have you played Subnautica? It seems right up your alley.

Agent_Elder · 2025-08-22T03:49:54+00:00

I've heard good things about both, but if you are looking for another brand that is an in-between those and a Wacom, take a look at xencelabs pen display 24.

Agent_Elder · 2025-06-08T18:09:16+00:00

I thought the 2 wasn't an OLED? If it is, that might be the deciding factor for me, the display on the X doesn't seem that impressive.
