Part 1 - Intro

In Part 1 is an introduction to the tutorial series, where you learn how to setup your sculpt for a complex zombie head model.

 

Part 2 - Basic Form

In Part 2 we take the simple form of the head and continue to shape it, adding necessary details for any human head.

 

Part 3 - Head Details

In Part 3 you will learn how to continue sculpting the human face by adding more detail to the basic form, including roughing out the main details on the ear.

 

Part 4 - Cutting the Skull

In Part 4 we cut away the top of the head, (as though we are exposing the brain and slicing through the skull,) so that we can be ready to sculpt in all the brain details.

 

Part 5 - Brain Detail

In Part 5 we start working on the brain detail. First I teach you the basics of how to sculpt the intricacies of the brain, then I and then I model the rest of the brain at 10x speed, so you can watch the whole process. Music: "Brainfall" by piano.guitar at Jamendo.com

 

Part 6 - Eye and Ear Detail

In Part 6 I show you how to cut gashes into the right eye socket, and we also finish up the main details on the ears.

 

Part 7 - Gashes and Gore

In Part 7 we add irregularity to the skull, adding ridges and dips. We add gashes in the head, and finally get to the good part: the brains oozing out and falling onto one of the shoulders!

 

Part 8 - Teeth

In Part 8 we create the detail of the mouth, gouging out his left lips and adding in teeth instead. We also add some goo oozing out from his mouth. :)

 

Part 9 - Skin Details

In Part 9 I show you how to add the tiny details to the skin - the stitches across the cuts, the scratches on the surface, and the pits in the skin. After teaching the basics, I then speed ahead at 10x to show you the rest of the skin detail application process.

 

Part 10 - Materials and Lighting

In Part 10 we are finished with the sculpting! Yeah! But to finish things off, I show you how to add some materials and a lighting setup. This video concludes the tutorial series!
