ZBrush

Introduction to ZBrush: 1

Designed for the artist new to ZBrush, this 2-disc set features six hours of lecture which will teach you everything from the interface to all available tools. Meats Meier teaches you about Pixologics 2.5D pixol technology, and the interface that controls a unique hybrid of painting and 3D, blurring the line between pixels and polygons. Meats goes into detail explaining tools to create, manipulate and sculpt multiple-resolution 3D objects. You'll also learn various methods of creating and applying textures and materials to your geometry as well as ZBrush's efficient, integrated multi-limbed polygon modeler, Zspheres. Meats will then show you how to use the ultra-fast renderer to create final images and scenes.

ZBrush Production Pipeline 1

This DVD focuses on the relationship between Maya (or any 3D package), and the wonderful sculpting, texturing and displacement creation tool that is ZBrush. Meats discusses the basics of ZBrush, focusing on working efficiently, moving your work between applications and rendering the results within your favorite renderer. Various methods of texture map creation and application are covered, including view port painting and using the many 2.5D painting tools inside the Projection Master for real time, detailed texture application. Materials, color, geometry sculpting and displacements are explained, along with the methods of using ZBrush as an animated blend shape (morph target) creator.
