Texturing a Photorealistic Human Using ZBrush

Learn how ZBrush can be used to effortlessly texture a human character using photographic references

Over the tutorial, we will learn how to easily create seamless, distortion-free textures for complex characters using ZBrush

Traditionally, using a series of photographic references to create seamless textures for our 3D characters has been a difficult, time-consuming process

However, ZBrush has several features that will allow us to create complex, UV-based textures with just a few mouse clicks

We will use the ZBrush Projection Master to quickly warp our photographic reference images to perfectly fit our 3D character and project the reference images onto the mesh

Once our textures have been generated, we will fix any texture seams, resulting in a single texture created from multiple photographic reference images

Through the tutorial, we will see how ZBrush can be used for much more than just 3D sculpting

By using ZBrush as a texturing application, we will be able to create complex, UV-based textures with very little effort
