Obviously, you can also record the sculpting session directly from ZBrush using the Movie options. If you want a free option, you can try Open Broadcaster Software (which is actually very very good) or IceCream recorder, (mmaximumof 5 min per video on the free version) which will be more than enough for this exercise.

There might be other ways to do this, but my favourite is to record a full ZBrush session using the Standard UI. There are many tools to record your screen, I personally use BandiCam for my tutorials, but I’ve also used Camtasia and Screen-O-Matic in the past. The best way is to “track your needs” and pay attention to what you really use all the time. I still think is cool to use other artists layout, but I wanted to share with you a process I found to be very efficient to create your own UIs.Ĭustomising anything is relatively easy, but personalise it will probably take a bit of trial and error. They were awesome and often, just what I wanted, but the more I try to refine my workflows, the more I feel the need to create something that fits me and my way of work. I remember a few years ago I use to look for UIs that other artists were sharing to try them out. I’ll be the first to admit that I get excited when a tool or software gives me the ability to customise it. You can make beautiful UI layouts and harmonious UI colour combinations, but if you are still struggling to find the things you use the most, then the UI has no real purpose and you are better off leaving it as a default. The simple answer is: because it will improve your workflow.

Now that you know HOW to move things around and customise your UI, Let’s talk about WHY you should customise ZBrush. Grab a cup of coffee, tea or a cold beer. I recommend that you read this guide ‘linearly’ but if you are already familiar with some of this stuff, clicking any of the titles below will jump you to the relevant section.

In the second part, I’ll show you a method to customise the UI and how to make it part of your workflow. The first part is an overview and summary of the steps and things you can do with the ZBrush UI. So, I divided this guide into two parts: The HOW and the WHY.

As we move forward in this short guide, you’ll see that the “HOW”, is a very simple process, but making a nice looking UI, doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s useful. I’m more interested in WHY is beneficial for your workflow to customise the UI. There are plenty of tutorials around that show you HOW to do this. Not only that but, you can also create your own palettes with sub-palettes and automate processes with macros. The guys at Pixologic, have made it really easy to move buttons around, change colours and even make your own “tools” within ZBrush. In this guide, I’m going to show you a couple of things you can do, to customise the ZBrush user interface with purpose, so that it truly suits your own workflow.
