In this video, I’ll show you a simple and practical introduction to ZModeler in ZBrush for iPad. We’ll create a small pouch with a buckle entirely from scratch using only the ZModeler tools.
You’ll learn how to extrude, extract, move, bridge, and use Dynamic Subdivision to control thickness, smooth out forms, and keep a clean, low-resolution mesh that’s easy to edit. It’s a great starting point if you’re new to ZBrush for iPad or want to explore efficient box-modeling techniques on the go.
If you’d like to grab the buckle object used in the video, you can find it in the resources section of the tutorial at Pablander Academy
or in the “Meshes” category on the website.
