Making the Glass Vials [Zbrush]


Glass Vials:
Large Vial:
1.       Insert a cylinder
2.       Mask about half of the cylinder (top part) and using the move the move tool, pull the top part up lengthening the shape.
3.       Still only selecting the top half, soften the masked object and scale it down.
4.       After scaling it, lengthen it again, because scaling it down will also shorten it.
5.       Keep scaling and moving parts of the object till you have a tower like top half with a flat top.
6.       Mask the flat top and using the move tool pull it up a bit to create the end of the neck (bottle neck).
7.       In an attempt in trying to get a nice end of the bottleneck, almost like a loop that is at the end. I used a deformation tool with spherize to create the edge.
8.       Mask the top excluding the unchanged bottom half (cylinder) use the move tool and move it back, moving it to a very awkward position.
9.        Masking a patch on the side I smoothed the mask many times and then move that inwards making the bend more interesting.
10.   To finish off the vial I need a cork. I began with inserted another cylinder.
11.   Selected the top with the mask tool and scaled it down making the cork shape.
12.   To make the vial hollow I simply selected the entire vial and extracted it out.


Small Vial:

1.       Insert a sphere.
2.       Position the camera so you are looking down on the sphere. Mask a small circle on top of the sphere. This will be the neck.
3.       Use the move tool and bring pull out the selected area to create the bottle/vial neck.
4.       Mask the entire object and then extrude. Remove the model that isn’t hollow.
5.       I created a different type of top/cork this time to not become repetitive. Insert a sphere.
6.       Using the move tool squish the object to make button like shape or near enough flatten circle shape.
7.       Mask the centre of the circle on both sides.
8.       Use move tool to push both sides inwards to create the indents.
9.       Mask the bottom of the circle.
10.   Use the move tool the pull it outwards to create the part that fits into the vial to act like the cork.
11.   Pulling it out will probably make the end smaller. Use the scale tool the make it thicker again, making sure it seals the top of vial not allowing any space between the cork and vial.
12.   Use the curve tool to cut the pointed tip of the cork bottom.


 The vials were relatively easy to create. To get the weird bend on the larger vial I played around a bit, masking the top have and dragging it around to see if it looked good while bending to one side. he smaller vial was easy to make since it was just a sphere with a neck. With it being pretty easy I wanted to create a more complicated cork/top. So I made a practical top with a grip.


Here are some reference pictures that are closest related to m vial ideas. It mostly concerns the smaller vial.
