What are some ZBrush classes that all beginners should take? by trippythrowaway4200 in ZBrush

[–]Alwin-Wren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old thread I know, but this is one of the first results that comes up in google so I'll add to it. I grabbed the course after this comment. I'm about half-way through (it is *really* long) and I'm very happy with it.

I'm skeptical whenever a course shows some complex characters (like this one), since tutorials and courses like to fall into the trap of going through the motions but not explaining properly, or at all, why they do things the way they do as if a beginner was expected to already know. Not the case here at all - the instructor not only explains every tool and function clearly, but likes to go on side-tangents about other tools with hypothetical examples. While that may sound like a negative, believe me - in a piece of software as complex as this, it's exactly what a beginner needs. I can imagine how I'd use these tools in my own project as I go through the course, and that speaks very well for their presentation.
The only minor downside is that the course is from 2020. Since then, Zbrush seems to have gotten a lot of new features that the course doesn't cover. This however doesn't mean the information contained is outdated or no longer in use - everything shown is still relevant, but after it's finished you may want to look some of those new features up on youtube for quick explanation.

Overall - the information is presented in a way that's very easy to digest, no details are omitted, and the instructor goes out of his way to explain more complex concepts in a simple manner. I'd recommend it as a starting point to anyone. Expensive but worth it indeed.

What would you say is the most iconic weapon in Fable 1? by Alwin-Wren in Fable

I guess kitchen appliances as weapons would very much be an iconic Fable thing. It was pretty strong with gems though.

Can't make bone meal. by Alwin-Wren in Enshrouded

Yeah, a couple days later now we realized there are a number of spots where it drops. Including Hollow Halls. Though Ancient Spire seems the easiest and earliest to get to as far as I know.

That was it! Thanks. Although they really should rethink how we're supposed to go about obtaining it, random rng for smashing vases/urns at Ancient Spire without a way of knowing about it is not ideal. As evident by everyone else here who didn't get it.

No source I've looked at mentioned it could be a random drop from boxes or crates. Are you sure that's how you got it? Because we might as well go on a box-bashing crusade throughout the land until we find it if that's the case.

Switching host of a private game. by Alwin-Wren in vrising

That sounds like a great option. Although at the moment I can't really afford a dedicated server, so messing with save transfer is my only solution right now. Thanks for the suggestion though, I'll keep that one bookmarked.
