Grab as many images as you need to come up with an idea for your scene. Then try to narrow down how you'd create your scene with only 3 or 4 assets by identifying recurring shapes in the reference images. If you have a difficult time deciding on an initial tone, you can use the free Learn Squared Brief Builder App: www.briefbuilder.app
For extra credit, try challenging yourself by narrowing down assets within more complex scene layouts.

yea I still not getting the same effect, not sure if its Zbrush or if its me? it either sinks in too much or it keeps taking different values when I didn't select them.
and I have the same brush settings as you in the videos so I'm not sure why mine keeps going overboard. not too sure what to do now, cause i've been stuck on this rock for way too long.
might switch over to blender, but than I feel like ill miss a lot of things.

For sure sorry it's giving you trouble :/. One other thing that might be doing it is the calibration of the pen pressure in your tablet. You can also try just the mouse with it and see if you can get a result.

my trim smooth boarder seems to not work the same as yours, is there another brush i could use?
Tyler Smith 1 month ago instructor
The trim dynamic brushes could work for you they are located in the same brush/trim folder. Also the Hpolish brush could work in a pinch that one is set up in the default brush pallet. Let me know if you are still having issues!

Great starter videos, Loved sculpting the rock, ive used the border smooth brush to do wood bark so using it for rock cracks was a cool way to use it!

Yeah that brush does all kinds of amazing things for sharp edged forms :)

It woudl be really good to see command keys called out for each tool :)
Tyler Smith 2 months ago instructor
For sure! Just to be clear you mean what hotkeys are being used instead of doing menu navigation? Were there any tools or commands in particular that were hard to follow?

Curious if we're deleting geo and not using Symmetry why not use the Trim tool?
Tyler Smith 2 months ago instructor
You can use the trim tool no problem. I just prefer selecting the geo I want to delete and then hitting delete geo in the Zbrush geometry tab. But either way works fine :)

double tap "Alt" - I knew it was something

That double tap move keeps eluding me :(

If it's being done with a stylus pen it might be a little more sensitive. A mouse is usually pretty responsive if you want to just use that for the clipping part of the sculpting then go back to the stylus for the rest.
