10-Minute Inspirational Read: 3D and 3D Print Designs Modeled in ZBrush

At the core of your creative process there are few main steps that are almost impossible to skip.

1. It all starts with a genius idea and you're so excited... - "this is awesome!".

2. When the excitement buzz subsides and there's real stuff to deal with (goodbye, lighthearted hours of brainstorming!), you shift nervously in your chair and mumble - "oh, this is a bit tricky".

3. Soon you're ready to throw yourself off a bridge. You lean back in your chair and close your eyes - "this is shit".

4. It all tumbles down to a bottomless pit instantaneously... - "I am shit".

5. So you take a break - an hour, a day, maybe even a week - and when you come back to pick up what's left of your awesome idea, you're suddenly flooded with the warmest of all feelings - hope. "This might actually work".

6. You start again to eventually reach the peak when you hold your breath for a second and whisper - "this is awesome!".

There's no running away from this - beautiful things don't come easy. So whatever stage you're at, keep on going and share your work with others - that much effort should never ever go unapplauded. We collected some of the most interesting 3D and 3D print models created in ZBrush to help you keep the creating vibes flowing as well as to show you once again that you can be making money off your cool talent. Make sure you cover both categories - 3D and 3D print - because it's so easy and so worth it!
