A while back, I tried to play around with Sculptris to see if I could actually sculpt things in that system. I was never terribly successful, as something just didn’t connect.
Last weekend, I was talking to an artist friend at a small get-together, and she suggested if I really wanted to learn to do 3D sculpting, I needed to bite the bullet and get ZBrush. I finally gave in to the temptation, and did so today.
What you see above is the result of around 3 hours with the program. This particular snake took around 1 1/2 hours to sculpt, give or take (I wasn’t timing myself). This was entirely sculpted from scratch; there wasn’t some base figure it started with; it started with a plain sphere.
The fact that I could pull that off, having never touched the program before today, in an hour and a half rather amazes me. Yes, the UI is… strange. Beyond strange… The thing is, it seems to work. I can work this like I’d work clay, only this is, in all reality, so much easier. No fingerprints, easy to smooth, etc…
And this is just the “basic functionality” of the program. Oh, this could be fun…

Yeah. I've got someone local who's used it professionally as an artist, and has offerred to give me some "lessons" in the finer details of what it can do.
I admit, I keep looking at this, amazed that that was only 1 1/2 hours of work, for someone who's not experienced in this program (but has done a fair bit of clay sculpting).
As you said in the stream, yeah, it's UI is... special. That being said, I pretty quickly found that the key things I needed I could get to pretty quickly. There's certainly a ton of stuff I have to learn about it, though. I'm maybe using 0.1% of what it can do. :)
