Hi everyone I am starting zbrush I have experiance in c4d bp3 maya ps illistrater etc.
I am now encorperating zbrush into my workflow.
It is an intresting program. I chose zbrush ove rmudbox because i dont like 3ds products LOL.
I am working from the book Introducing Zbrush by Eric Keller.
I will post the project files.
it is a good book and the background in 3d modeling doesnt hurt the 2d 3d plane thing is a little confusing but i am confident i will get through it.

I’ve done a lot of searching around the last few weeks on stuff to get me up to speed on texturing and trust me, this video is the very best one you can get, better than any book…
And Meats Meyer’s intro to Zbrush is the best all around source for nailing the Zbrush toolkit I’ve found. Much faster to learn by videos than with books…and following the videos will get you past your confusion between the 3d / 2 and a half d workflow that Zbrush uses.
I hated that at first when I was going by written descriptions and wanted Mudbox. But now I can see Zbrush is far superior to Mudbox. The two and a half d thing makes Zbrush the best present solution to polygon texturing available. If someone knows of a better one please tell me…texturing is hellish when you have to lay out tangled UV maps for PS…
Um ill probally export into c4d untrianglate i dunno if zbrush does and use Body paint UV to unwrap my mesh and BP has an aawsome uv unmapping program I am used to.
I used to think that zbrush was mainly for sculpting and the texturing and coloring was just some kind of toy. I’ve been going around asking in different forums and it looks like Zbrush is now the foremost texture and UV mapping program out there. Deep Paint and Bodypaint3d seem to have just died. Zbrush is where it’s at.
Check out that Rhino texturing video and you’ll see…
Thanks Guys.
I am also new here and with Zbrush.I only have the trial to see how i go. but will get this DVD. and after the 30 days. hope to get the program.
The only program i have used to do 3d is Amapi Pro. and find it great . but always looking to see if i can get anything better… This looks very good.
Cinema 4d you should try ive tried lightwave blender 3d studio max maya milkshape and um bryce.
I love c4d and choose it over all those programs.
cept for some games I gotta do stuff in maya. But if c4d could do it all I would use it.

Thanks alot. i will have a go with C4D, I have now been testing Lightwave, blender 3dmax and zbrush.
I like Zbrush , its fun to use … but the others are much harder than Amapi Pro.
So i will try C4D…I will let you know what i think…
Again thanks.
