[Zbrush] HOT tutorial (with a hottie!)

[Nate Owens]

This tutorial for ZBrush covers the making of a fantastic model by a fantastic master Z-er. Not to mention his lady subject is a real hottie (sorry, she ain't nekkid )

If you are learning Z (as I am trying to) this is one fantastic step-by-step work.

He actually starts building this wonder-lady using Zspheres. It covers everything from sculpting to posing (YEA - no "rigging"), layers, masking, texturing, exporting displacement maps and textures... the works.

There are quite a few little gems that are not easily discovered about general working in Z.... like how to rotate so your model snaps to 90-degree points... views from side, front... etc.

Try it... you'll like it.

Those hotties are rare in Zb's gallery as compared to the monsters and monkeys and mutilated faces. In reality, we don't see everything in close-ups. Yes, we see textures all around us, but we only see them peripherally, if I can use that word. We don't look at them as if we are walking microscopes. Art has to do with illusion. If it looks like wood it IS wood.

BTW, I will try very hard to do something like that when I get my C6. I've been trying to model the girl of my dreams. Don't forget C6 now has hair feature.

Personally the plethora of putrid peppered potholed gooey monsters is boooorrrring.
Subtlety is more of an art.

This tutorial is more about using Z's tools - the subject is not really important.

I'm learning a lot. Just need more time to Z

Great point. I could not have said it any better.

Too many ZMonsters

Digital tutors released new ZBrush tutorial
http://www.digitaltutors.com/store/p...productid=3385
I have already "Introduction to ZBrush 3", "Sculpting Techniques with ZBrush 3" and "ZBrush 2 and XSI Integration" from DT. Maybe they are not complete, but informative enough for quick start.

I was thinking about getting this, but I have already two gnomon DVDs and a lot of very good free download video tutes from Zbrush forum, and despite buying zbrush2 in Oct last year with high hopes and now learning Z3, still havent produced anything worthwhile to show, or not that Im happy to show yet. I dont seem to be in sync with the software.
