Wow, amazing work as always. Your drawing and your sculpts are an interminable source of inspiration and just wanted to thank you for sharing those video-tutorials with us. I have been following all your work since I first saw your manimal sculpting session and I have learned a lot since watching your tutorials.

Love the way you sketch the Toxic character sheet almost like painting or sculpting in photoshop to quickly define volumes and shapes and then how you ink it. You are such an amazing artist, Nick!

Thanks a lot and keep up the good work! Eagerly waiting for more.

Wow Nick, I just watch all of these videos for the organic part of this project or character. Really a great tutorial. Thanks so much for taking the time to do these. Very enlightening for someone like myself that has no background or experience in this sort of thing in Zbrush. I really appreciate it. Looking forward to the next stages.

In this series of videos we will take a look at various ways to create UV's that can be used later to bake down our polypaint information or bake shading (lighting and materials) down to our final texture.


This video will show how to quickly create UV's in ZBrush using UV Master. These UV's can quickly give you a way to transfer your polypaint information to a texture map.



This video will cover how to transfer your UV's to Maya using GoZ. We will look at planar mapping and cylindrical mapping in Maya.



We will continue to look at how to create UV's in Maya using the Unfold, Relax & UV Lattice Tools. (Maya)



We will take a look at how to tile our UV borders in different areas of our model. (Maya)



In this video we will take a look at how to set up UV's for hands and feet in Maya.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

I started a new Dyna (Dino) Sketch. This was a lot of fun. I needed to call it quits before I added too much detail.

I found some amazing matcaps I would like to share out as well http://luckilytip.blogspot.com/2012/09/zbrush-custom-matcap-10.html

Hi Nick, I saw some of your videos and I should say they are really a gold mine!
Everyone should take a look at them, even professionals can find some useful trick or technique.

Good job with the T-Rex, he reminds me Storm's style, really nice and clean with a strong character.

Thanks for sharing such good stuff!
