Thanks, bro. I felt the same way back in 2003 when I saw a demo of ZBrush that came from a magazine freebie CD. I was blown away by the playback of a head sculpting demo and how it made it seem so easy to create human head, as opposed to the usual way of box and edge modeling.

But it was difficult to get into as I didn't have a graphics tablet yet at the time, and also, it was a skill that was not needed at work.

Years later I also discovered Sculptris around the time it had been snapped up by Pixologic. Still, sculpting was a no-go for me then. Then in 2015 I decided to try sculpting again, but with Blender, and I immediately got hooked.

Sculpting with clay was one of my hobbies when I was younger, and that's why it picking up its digital counterpart seemed so easy for me. And the only thing that really got into the way of my learning ZBrush was its freaky interface.

I really had to force myself to watch the beginner videos at ZClassroom over and over again until the necessary info got hammered into my head. And, yeah, being an experienced 3D artist helped a lot too.

Oh, btw, there is no need to pirate it if you want to try it out. Pixologic has been offering 45-day trial versions since 2016. In the office we have 10 seats that are underutilized, and that's why our boss wants some of us to get up to speed on it.

And if I ever get so good at using it that I become a famous artist working in a big studio somewhere, it's because of Thanos and Blender. I will let Ton Roosendaal know about it. LOL! I guess a proper time lapse sculpting video is in order. 😀

Cheers!
