We’re really excited about this month’s free tutorial because it’s taken from our new soon-to-be launched ZBrush Course. This tutorial is great if you’re looking to up your ZBrush skills to an advanced level. It’s an in-depth tutorial that demonstrates how to use tools to create fine details, specifically ‘Wear and Tear’ on a pre-made Gas Mask model. Plus, it’s only 12 minutes long so you’ll be able to squeeze it into your lunch break.
During the tutorial you’ll learn what kind of photograph makes a good alpha and you will be shown how to create an alpha in both ZBrush and Photoshop. You'll then be introduced to a number of different tools and techniques for applying these alphas in ZBrush to add realistic wear and tear to a model.

Hi Ruby,
Thanks for the feedback. Really pleased that you enjoyed the tutorial. The complete course is not released yet - this was just a taster. We hope to be able to make it available on our website for purchase in the next few weeks.
