Hi all, I'm Cesar Dacol Jr. The Voodoo Monkey and Zbrush 3 is Art!

Hi All.
My name is Cesar Dacol Jr. Aka, The Voodoo Monkey.
Until recently I was the modeling supervisor at Meteor Studios in Montreal Canada, where we worked on features films like 300 and Journey 3d.

A small move to the sunny south and I'm now transplanted to Santa Monica California where I am a Facial animation consultant and in house Demo Artist at Image Metrics.

I've been using Zbrush for the last 4 years and have had the pleasure of being on the beta testing team from the very beginning.

I can safely say that Zbrush 3 has surpassed all of our wildest expectations.

There's so many amazing new features... from transpose to sculpting using HD with almost limitless polygons, which will definitely change the face of digital sculpting for ever.

Zbrush 2 started the revolution and Zbrush 3 picks up the ball. Production lines must be evaluated again, you will never work the same way.

I can't wait for you all to experience the force that Zbrush 3 is on may 15th.

Zbrush 3 is ART.

So here are some samples of some fun I had with Zbrush 3.
Cheers

Voodoomonkey- Your work speaks for itself. You among the rest of the testers really out did yourself. Thanks for sharing you insights on zb3 and can't imagine the limitless polygon aspect. Also would like to take the time to say thanks for your zclassroom material like all the rest in the zclassroom it has really helped me a ton and is great material! Will be watching for more of your works !

Nice renders!!!

Are these brown people rendered using the same red shaders I saw on other people's works? What is that shader? Somekind of SSS?

[SolidSnakexxx]

The old man head (first one) is by far the best....in terms of details...the rest however, are extremely nice as well!

[brettSinclair]

Awesome. Thats as far as i go before i sound like a fan boy. haha

[Tatu]

Hi Cesar,
more one brazilian good,
congratulations, are very nice works

[gpepper]

Amazing true good work ! The old man is my favourite ! Should be cool to see an animated version of him !

[Slosh]

I'm assuming, since these are beta images from ZB3, that they were all created in ZBrush 3 only...no imported base meshes? The reason I ask is that the woman has the tear ducts in, and so far I've not seen much of this in ZBrush models. If this was ZB3 only, then I am excited. Getting a tiny detail like that to look so smooth has not been easy for me.

[Dalton_Muniz]

Hi Cesar! I will count the days!
Man, only now I became to know that you are brazilian, amazing surprise!
No suprise is that your work rocks!!
Abraços!

Standing ovation!
