I can say, with confidence that I am not a total noobie, but I am not a skilled zbrush artist either. I know most of the tools, and roughly how to use them. My main pitfalls are not knowing the best workflow, now having a lot of experience, and not knowing how to work out of problems that I encounter. I have been working in 3d for some time but I see a huge potential to take my work to the next level with zbrush. I have a ton of learning resources, books, tutorials, etc. I am hoping to find something better. I would like to find a seasoned vet that might be able to help me develop my skills. Or perhaps even someone who wants to work together, trading ideas and working to improve our knowledge base and skill levels together. Learning alone leaves a lot of room for error, but to learn and teach with someone in a similar place just seams infinitely more efficient. Please let me know if you are interested in working together. On a side note, if you have a tool that you might want to animate and render I am proficient in C4d and 3DS max. Ultimately, anything I create in zbrush is intended to make it’s way into an animation. I eagerly await your response.
