ZBrush 是一个数字雕刻和绘画软件，它以强大的功能和直观的工作流程彻底改变了整个三维行业。在一个简洁的界面中，ZBrush 为当代数字艺术家提供了世界上最先进的工具。以实用的思路开发出的功能组合，在激发艺术家创作力的同时，ZBrush 产生了一种用户感受，在操作时会感到非常的顺畅。ZBrush 能够雕刻高达 10 亿多边形的模型，所以说限制只取决于的艺术家自身的想象力。

Digital Tutors Creating Game Characters with ZBrush and TopoGun

In this course we're going to use ZBrush and TopoGun to convert a very high resolution female hero character into a lower resolution game-type model. Sculpting applications like ZBrush are great for creating extremely detailed models, complete with surface texture and color. But to be able to rig, animate, or integrate these models into a game engine, we first have to convert the model to a much lower resolution. TopoGun is a great tool for taking our detailed meshes and allowing us to very intuitively redraw this new topology. In addition, it will allow us to project all of the mesh's detail onto maps. In this way we can use a lower resolution version of the model, while it still appears very detailed. We will start by preparing and exporting our dense meshes from ZBrush and then bring those into TopoGun as references. We'll use several tools in TopoGun to literally draw new base geometry right onto the high resolution meshes. We'll look at several of the tools available and how we can manipulate and change topology once it's been created. Once the topology is done, we'll create UVs for the new pieces and then generate maps for the detail and color information. Once we're done you'll have created your own game-type character from a very dense sculpt and you'll have the knowledge you need to repeat the process on your own creations.
