This course deals with the full hard surface sculpting workflow in Blender, starting with drawing thumbnails all the way to a finished 3D sculpt. Along the way, we’ll learn basic and advanced sculpting tools and brushes. Then we also dive deep into making awesome assets, like alpha textures, tiling displacement maps, and hard surface VDM brushes.
Alpha textures
Alpha textures are height maps that quickly add intricate details to your model in Sculpt Mode. In this course, we dive into the theory of what makes a nice Alpha texture, how best to model them and then bake them. The course comes with 100+ Alpha textures, so you don’t need to buy anything extra.
Explore creating alphas employing diverse techniques, including booleans and non-destructive modifier-based workflows, enabling swift generation of numerous variations.
Delve into the foundational theory behind effective alphas and master the art of flawless baking techniques.
Leverage nodes to establish a baking system that incorporates refined bevels along edges. This method simplifies part modeling while ensuring exceptional final outcomes.

Can you put up more ZBrush tutorials? It seems you’re only uploading mainly Blender stuff now, it sucks.
dude, it’s already enough zbruh tuts
Are you joking? Look through the last 10 pages, it’s all Blender tutorials, and most of them are shit.
To many Blender tutorials, this website used to be amazing. But it’s all Blender and Groupbuy links now. I’m tempted to email the original owners to let them know this is going on.
Envious of anything they look at,
They’re always barking.
But you go your own way:
They’ll bark and leave you alone
