ZBrush
Our new 52 page tutorial series eBook – “The beginners guide to ZBrush” should give you an excellent starting point to get you into the world of ZBrushing. In this series we will be working our way through the basic process of creating a creature bust, then taking it to completion by the last chapter. We will be starting with a basic Zsphere base mesh that we will create ourselves and we’ll use this as our starting point for sculpturing and finally adding texture to. The tutorial series is split into 7 chapters so that we can take it at a beginner’s pace and cover as much ground as possible for people totally new to ZBrush. (Plus you’ll end up with a finished digital sculpt that will give you the confidence to approach you own projects in a similar manner.)
