In this ZBrush tutorial we will explore different techniques to build a character from scratch. Throughout the lessons we will model, pose, texture and shade a 3D character. We will use lot of different techniques within ZBrush and Softimage to bring to life a bio-mechanical concept. Along the way we will learn creative ways to use a wide set of tools to build details in a quick and effective way. All the techniques shown can be translated in different kinds of pipelines and can bring up a huge speed up to your usual modeling and texturing workflow.

Language: English | 6h:08 | 782x646 | .Flv | Mp3 - 96Kbps | 2.39 GB Genre: eLearning
In this course, we will learn how to create a realistic human bust using ZBrush.
We will be creating this character entirely within ZBrush, so we will begin by using ZSpheres to create the base mesh for the head and upper torso. From there, we will be going through the process of reshaping and detailing facial features, and in doing so, we will be placing special emphasis on important topics such as proper facial proportions, understanding the importance and function of key facial muscles, understanding the effects of aging on the human face, and making sure we incorporate all of these critical concepts into our final character. We will also use a variety of tools and techniques within ZBrush to create several articles of clothing for our character.

An Overview of Topology in ZBrush
Sculpting in ZBrush, artists work with highly advanced digital clay that consists of millions and millions of polygons. However, when artists need to transport those milions of polygons to other 3D applications it is necessary to engage in the polygon economy and start redistributing the wealth. This tutorial will show the artist how to retopologize a model in ZBrush as well as how to reproject the sculpting details from one model to another.
So we're finally done with the anatomy series and I thought it'd be fun to hop over into polypainting with ZBrush 4R2.
This video is just to help you all understand how polypainting works and how to get going with it using different alphas, colors, brushes, etc.
Not much has changed with polypainting basics but at least you can put paint on different layers. You could actually do that before in ZB4.....There's just not blend modes like Mudbox that'll behave like Photoshop.
