I have to wait for 3 minutes or so just so this reply to thread page loads so I can type this in.

I have no suggestions for you to make interwebs move faster. Youtube Downloader is free. It may take you days to DL but once done you could watch free from interruption.

Or cannedmushrooms has a huge corse available on DVD. It is not expensive if I remember correctly. can search him on youtube as well.

Well I do have a download manager, but hows that going to help any if you can't download it. All there is is an option to "Play" = live stream = no good for me as my internet speed is no good. I Know this is hard for people with fiber optics and all that good stuff to understand, but I live in rural Australia and what people in the cities might take for granted we simply don't have!

Sammy,
I am a newbie to the ZBrush world. I have the advantage of being able to open the tutorial and then put it on my DOCK and recover it quickly. But the best thing I have is the book by Eric Keller "Introducing ZBrush 4". It does not cover all of the upgrades, but in my case I can use it for 90% or more of my "problem situations". You can get it on Amazon. Good luck.

Thanks tballew, Vorador & gbbishop. I will check those out. I have already ordered "ZBrush Creature Design" by Scott Spencer,( not out until a few weeks time), & bought Jason Welsh's Chapters up to 15, which I have learned a lot from. Its just that, you know, there is a lot of helpful stuff in the ZClassroom series too.

Thanks!

Re downloading videos...you can empty your browser cache, watch the videos online, then check your browser cache for the videos you have just watched. In through the back door, so to speak.

Hi sammyd i live in Australia as well and i think i might be able to help you out give me a list of what you need and i will see what i can do for you contact me at edgwynnedesign@gmail.com, i know what it feels like to be on the moon, i use to live on a farm and all we had was dial up , now i live in Adelaide and it is very hard to find anyone that also uses Zbrush, back to topic as i said SammyD lets start some conversation up and i will see what i can do for you if that means printing some tuts out and sending them to you i can do that maybe burning some dvds as well .

Some video tutorials start with scene already having some tools. And I have no idea where these came from.
As a beginner I would really like some tips on where to find it("open lightbox and load X tool located in Y folder") or should I be looking for it at all. Since it seems sometimes author is using custom tools/brushes that I won't find in default zbrush installation.

For example, I'm watching "Curve Insert Mesh Basics" video. Right from the start author grabs CurveStrap3 brush (which I don't have) and draws it on his character (which I can't find either). I feel completely lost here.
So am I just looking in the wrong place or maybe tutorial materials could be downloaded somewhere separately?



Some videos show zoomed regions when author changes parameters crucial to things he is explaining at the moment. It would be nice to see it more often.
This is also comes in handy when you trying to find some GUI controls that was moved in newer version of zbrush.

what version of zbrush are you using, sometimes it pays to search google for the brushes you are missing and also look for the links for the project files that most of the tuts refer to.

Zbrush 4.4
I did google for this brush with no results and as for the tool - I can't form a valid search request because I don't know its name.

The brushes he shows how to create them in the tuts you just need to be paying attention to what he is saying and doing as he does work fast, as for the models i think it is part of the masterclass those tuts are more of a guide to what can be done, with zbrush 4r4, all i can say is let your imagination be free and experiment with the brushes, to see what can be done. next month i will be joining masterclass so i will keep you advised of, how to do the brushes,
hope that helps

This has probably been mentioned, but the Zclassroom videos buffer too slowly for me to watch them.
I'm in the UK and on a Fibre optic 80 mb connection, so I'm assuming it's a problem with where the server is located.
I see that you are mirroring a lot of videos on youtube. If the latest ones could be added as soon as they are on zclassroom that would be great, as it's exciting time, and hard to wait.
Thanks

I would ask SpiritDreamer, he uses CoralPainter all the time.
His thread is here:

Android Jones has used zbrush to assist illustration asset creation with Corel Painter.He has done some for Videos for Massive black.
zapplink should be compatible with Corel painter.
