Creating Disney-like Toon Girl Using Character Creator and ZBrush
magazine.reallusion.com/2023/... Shane Olson, a ZBrush guru for his invaluable years at Disney has transitioned into a full-time online instructor, specializing in teaching the creation of stylized characters through his dedicated courses. Shane has sculpted a myriad of characters during his livestreams, often focusing on detailed busts due to time constraints.
Despite the challenge of rigging characters or adding bodies and clothes, a recent discovery of Character Creator integrated with ZBrush captivated Shane. With Character Creator’s latest Toon Base and ZBrush Pose Link Plugin, ZBrush artists can give their sculpted stylized characters a fully animatable body and facial rig, and effortlessly translate them to game engines and 3D printing.

Finally there's a TOON base coming in CC! Been waiting this for such a long time.
Thank you for explaing the UDIM in CC, and showing us how to bake the meshes from ZBrush to Character Creator. I've been struggling it for a while👍👍
Awesome work Shane! Great to see you using the CC4 pipeline, and the info is very well presented, as usual. Looking forward to seeing much more of this in the future.
This is so awesome! I love that you went the extra mile and got us a great new starting base mesh for stylized! Buying into CC is a no brainer now.
Appreciate your support! That makes all our efforts paid off
Yes! Chatting with Shane for some years now. He taught me so much! So I bought the whole package and want to try it on my characters, too. The Reallusion KZhead channel could use some cleaning with playlists. I have a really hard time finding the fitting tutorials with headshot 2. Just can find the one with the green orc. Is that the newest one?
Seeing her blink the first time is just crazy how perfectly the eyelids match. Wow! :D
Now I can turn my ZBrush sculpted head into a fully rigged model! 🎉 Thanks CC!
you actually need a headshot plugin right?
I like how easy and intuitive it is to paint the skin weight of the character. Just gives a lot more realism to my project 😇
I love this tutorial is explaining everything from concepting to the final work. Thank you Shane!
Quick question: Are there male and female stylized basemeshes available now? I would love to have some special Shane-O-Basemeshs in CC! I love his unique style so much.
Very inspiring - brilliant character design ❤
Love it! There are so many new paths for artists to follow-
Have you checked Shane's blog story yet, here's the full tips for you! rebrand.ly/gueln8z
I loved these tutorials and the new cartoon avatars! Thank you so much Shane and Reallusion! ❤❤
glad you like it!
the new toon base is awesome. now if reallusion could make an anime mesh with cel shading like in blue eye samura, it would be selling like crazy
I love they are many contents in Reallusion marketplace or content stores. Just buy with the needed license will do.
Thank you so much for this content. Definitely more than ever, CC is becoming a must have software for 3D Characters to push further ur portfolio presentations. Definitely going to test that out with my own characters
Thank you! Take a look at our CC BASE info rebrand.ly/7xexxjs
Couldn’t find the ruler on your website
Awesome content. Congrats!
Thanks so much!
3D prints were the only thing that I do in ZBrush. But now I wanted to also try animation and make moving pitches for my clients.
Yes, you should try our CC Toon base! It's just give you so more possibilities! rebrand.ly/7xexxjs
Hey, is there any similar workflow for stylized characters using headshot 2.0.? Because it is very difficult to project in zbrush.
We suggest you work on the body and proportions first, then tap into Headshot 2 and Face Tools for facial refinement. Please check the related pages: (Headshot 2) rebrand.ly/41fed3 (Face Tools) rebrand.ly/332ba4
this is a great video, shane olson strikes again :D, i've been trying to figure out if i need iclone 8 or not for weeks, if you can animate in character creator, why do i need iclone ?
In Character Creator you can drag the motion on the character and PREVIEW the animated result. But when it comes to basic animation editing and blending, you will definitely need iClone for animation, and we have tons of ways to help you animate your characters. Check this out 👉www.reallusion.com/iclone/
You cannot edit your animation in CC4, only view it from the library or external import. In Iclone you have CONTROL, you can mix several different animations, use your iPhone for facial capture, etc. CC4's focus is only on creating characters and Iclone's focus is on creating animations.
