3DCreative Magazine - May 2009 Issue - Available Now! See www.3dcreativemag.com for further information and to download the free ‘Lite’ version of this month’s magazine:
Welcome to Issue 45, where aliens and monsters rule the roost this month! So what’s this all about? Well, we bring to you in this issue the concluding chapter of our ZBrush Character Creation tutorial series, in which the super talented Rafael Grassetti shows us how to tackle the sculpting and texturing of a beautifully freakish monster of Frankenstein. Check out p.55 for Rafael’s tutorial, and stay tuned for next month’s issue where we’ll be beginning a tutorial series on sculpting and texturing “Manimals” (a cross breed of a man with an animal – get it?), with Bruno Melo kicking off the first chapter. So what about aliens, I hear you ask? We welcome Federico Scarbini to 3DCreative this month with a fantastic making of detailing the creation of his recent character piece, Zenoth, the alien from Jupiter (p.63), and as a double-alien-whammy, we also asked Dzmitry Surynovich to bring us a project overview article on his alien scene, Morass /i. And just because we love all things rather weird and wonderful here at 3DCreative, you’ll also find some fantastic ZBrush cyclops characters in the Speed Sculpting tutorial section of the magazine this month, in which Gavin Goulden and Jesse Sandifer bring us their interpretations on this classic topic (p.43).
Our interviews this month feature the winner of the recent Steampunk Myths and Legends CGChallenge, Fabricio Moraes. We’ve been working with Fabricio recently on our latest Digital Art Masters volume, and we’re constantly blown away by the quality of his work, so we just couldn’t help ourselves wanting to get to know him a little better in one of our artist interviews (p.7). Our second interview this month is with an old friend of 3DCreative, Gavin Goulden, who will be back with us as a regular artist in our upcoming Next Gen Character Creation tutorial series (starting in July!), so we thought we’d catch up with him, find out what he’s been up to, and force him to spend just a few reluctant moments away from devotion to his Dominance War IV entry. Check out p.17 and then join us again in July for the start of our Next Gen series where Gavin will … be … back! (We’re very excited about the Next Gen series – can you tell? It’s going to be grrrreat!)
