Hello! This is my first blog post so let’s just jump right in! Today I will be showing you a staple tool in ZBrush. That tool is called the ZRemesher.

When first looking upon the ZRemesher tool it may seem pointless, but it is more useful than you think. Here I will walk you through one of the ways you can ZRemesh your own models.

Starting off we want to begin with selecting a piece of geometry that you wish to lower the polygon count on.

Below I have my geometry sculpted which has about 157,737 polygons.

Now we will navigate to the Geometry tab that is located on the rights side of the interface second from the top under the Subtool tab.

Once the Geometry tab is open you will want to navigate to the ZRemesher tab with the Geometry tab. The Zremesher tab is located under the Tessimate tab.

After this you will want to turn off the adapt button and turn the half button so that it is highlighted.

After this you may click the large ZRemesher button at the top of the ZRemesher tab.

After you have clicked the ZRemesher button your geometry will half its polygon count. You have click the ZRemesher button several time to achieve the polygon count you are looking for.

Below is my model after ZRemeshing it around 4 times. This simplifies the geometry and can make other processes easier with ZBrush.

In this tutorial I showed you how to half your polygon count within ZBrush using the ZRemesher tool. Halving your polygon count is only one way to use the ZRemesher tool there are also several different ways to use it. Below I will link the other ways you can use the ZRemesher tool for anyone that is interested!

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
