ZBrush Advanced Workflows

After 4 months in the making ZBrush Advanced Workflows with over 10hrs of content, covers instruction in both Zbrush and Modo, exploring concepts and methods to enchance and optimize model development and creation. Presented with full hi-res video and audio narration.

Topics include; Model preparation, Sculpting methodology, uses for the Z-projection brush, uses of the Morph brush, UV tricks and tips, Zmapper and arbitrary meshes, Organic sculpting using masks, Hard surface workflows in zbrush, Retopology, Displacement maps and rendering them.

The intention with all the tutorials I make is to provide a lot of information and acquired knowledge. Not just watch me work like there are countless examples of already. The goal is any one of these lecture topics is worth the price of the collection they are a part of. I have seen a lot of instructional material over the years and I am trying to make tutorials how I’ve always wanted them to be; at an advanced level, no filler, time lapse repetitive sections and covering topics and techniques I have not seen else where.

MISGUIDED TUTORIALS

Here is a video preview, the quality is a bit degraded I’m afraid.

Congrats! (looks promising)

Might I suggest you put up a cut-up ‘example’ video
that gives a taste of what is delivered upon plunking down
the ducats for your knowledge? :wink:

Yep, I’m going to add screen shots and synopsis’ of what each of the 9 video’s cover’s shortly. I attempted to do this with the “recent” tutorials area of my webpage but clearly it is not enough.

The price is reasonable, and if I can first see a few shots, and evt. a short movie ( low-quality flv ) to hear the voice and feel the rythm of the tutorial,
I may well be interested.
The subjects look good.

Here is a video preview, the quality is a bit degraded I’m afraid.

TUTORIAL PREVIEW

I’m still working on the synopsis/breakdowns. Hopefully tonight it will appear here and on a new page on my website.

I have now added an additional page to my website with breakdowns of what is covered in this series.

Thanks for the positive Feedback! Definitely makes me very happy to hear. -Ken

Just Noticed the examples are up!

I’m a Modo user and a (future)ZB3 user who is waiting for the mac version to be delivered. I will be very interested after some quick example clips are available.
Good Luck with this project!

How may MB of download are we talking about?
How long is the (I guess) provided link active (= how much time do we have to download) ?

I believe the link is active indefinitely. I bought some tutorial downloads for Messiah a year ago through the lulu website that are still in my account when I login. I believe you can download as many times as you need to also.

Only when the project is retired and it is no longer for sale do you lose access, since it will be removed from the server at that point.

All 9 movies are grouped in 5 zips adding up to a bit under 3 gigs…
Movies #1-3 179MB, #4-6 316MB, #7 676MB, #8 1.58 GB, #9 136 MB.

More feedback.
