sculpture? 

Bas Relief is a kind of sculpture in which the figures are raised a few inches from a flat background to give a three-
dimensional effect. However new possibilities open up that we never learn it before.

In this tutorial, we are going to show you how to create bas relief into the 3d model using Zbrush.  You might need to draw on
a coin design or medallion design etc. Let’s come take a look at how it’s done. This tutorial is help you to new idea and a lot
of tips and tricks. Let’s start your design journey.

EXAMPLES OF BAS RELIEF SCULPTURE

FOR THIS PROJECT YOU’LL NEED THE FOLLOWING:

Laptop & Computer
Zbrush Software
Pen Tablet – we are using Wacom for this tutorial

1. CREATE AN ALPHA MAPPING IMAGES USING ADOBE PHOTOSHOP

We are using alpha to create bas relief sculpture.

What is Alpha?
An Alpha is a grayscale intensity map. It can be used to represent intensity, masking, and similar things. For example, bump
maps and displacement maps (both in ZBrush and in other programs) are both alphas; the grey intensity represents the
height or depth of the bump or displacement.

Often times image from Photoshop are used in Zbrush or other programs, such as After Effects, Maya, and Blender that
support alpha channels. This grayscale channel has black areas to indicate transparency and white sections that are opaque.

The alpha channel can be found in Photoshop’s Channels palette and is labelled as channel #4.

2. SAVING THE IMAGE AS A JEPG OR PNG FORMAT FILES, THE ALPHA CHANNEL
IS INCLUDED WITH THE IMAGE

6. SCALE THE COIN MODEL

We can adjust the scale – Thickness of the coin model.

7. USE DYNAMESH
DynaMesh is newest base mesh generation tool. It has been designed to create low and middle resolution sculpting stages,
making it a perfect way to create your base mesh before diving deeper into all the powerful traditional ZBrush sculpting and
editing tools.

Go to right Menu ToolBox > Select Geometry > DynaMesh

9. SELECT MASK PEN TOOL

Las áreas enmascaradas no se activan o desactivan simplemente. En cambio, se pueden desenmascarar, enmascarar
parcialmente hasta cierto punto o enmascarar por completo. El efecto que tienen operaciones como la escultura en las áreas
enmascaradas de un modelo depende de la intensidad de la máscara en cada punto.

Una vez pintada máscara por intensidad. Puede pintar máscaras en su objeto directamente manteniendo presionada la tecla
CTRL mientras pinta en el modelo.

11. PRESIONA ARIX Z (AZUL) + ARRASTRA EL MOUSE

12. BORRAR UNA MÁSCARA

Mantenga presionada la tecla CTRL y arrastre en el lienzo fuera del modelo. Cualquier cantidad visible de arrastre servirá.

13. ESO ES TODO. ACABAMOS DE COMPLETAR LA ESCULTURA BÁSICA DE

MONEDAS EN 3D
