Tweaking the modular head

The modular head is just a generic human head (male) that allows you to manipulate various parts of the face using PolyGroups, to customise it and get started with your sculpt.

This is a short reference video to show you how to use the Modular Head. The ZTool is a very simple model that was cut up into a few polygroups which allows you to easily manipulate certain regions of the face individually.

What can you use this resource for?

Here is a quick timelpase to give you a rough idea of the different type of things you can do when starting from the Modular Head resource. In this case I just pushed and pull the PolyGropups from the head to morph it into an Orc creature.

You can also download a decimated version of this sketch from the Meshes resources ;)

Modular Head

Click the button below to download the ‘Modular Head’ ZTool. The head mesh has been created in ZBrush 4R8 so you'll need this or a newer version of ZBrush to load it. This resource is great to get started, it has a series of polygroups for different areas of the human head that you can easily adjust before Dynameshing to continue the sculpting process.

Watch Out ZBrush… Blender 4.5 Vulkan is Here

I'm a 3D concept artist and educator, and after sculpting in ZBrush for over a decade, today I’m testing Blender 4.5 with Vulkan enabled. For years, I treated Blender sculpting as a secondary option to ZBrush, but Vulkan sort of changes that. In this recap, I'm sharing what I did, what surprised me, and how Vulkan affects my workflow, viewport navigation, and real-time rendering. This is the honest take from someone used to ZBrush's performance expectations.

For artists who want to sketch or sculpt on the go, having a device that is quick, simple, and lightweight without feeling like overkill is essential. I've been an iPad Pro user for this kind of work, and while it’s an excellent tool, it comes with a hefty price tag and a file system that, frankly, I still struggle to navigate. Enter the XPPen Magic Drawing Pad, a new Android-based tablet that caught my eye when I got the chance to test it out. It surprised me in multiple ways, and I want to share my honest thoughts on whether it deserves a spot in your creative toolkit.
