Hi all, I've been lurking around for quite some time and thought I'd start up a sketchbook on here as ZBrush is one of the primary weapons in my arsenal. Lately I've been delving into ZBrush's rendering features. Takes a bit of work to get the best results, but the quality is good. Enjoy!

Hello Guys, here's the new project we worked on here at Techno Image. We used Zbrush for Character Modeling, sculpting, texturing, BlendShapes and also for some props. The production took about 1 month and 15 days. Heres the spot: And here's some BreakDown. Here's The Print Version. For more details Check: www.technoimage.com.br

I was going to just practice relief sculpting with this one but, as always, I decided I also needed to practice the next phase of production and so on until I had accidentally spent all week on it. I've got a folder full of interesting portraits sitting on my desktop and this was one of my favorites. I thought it would work really well in relief since everything was in the same plane of perspective and it was already framed and flattened to a photo. I tried to use the same mesh throughout so that I didn't have as many faces on the back as on the front (which happens when you dynamesh) and so I could use divisions but this eventually led me to constantly fight the geometry as I tried to get the most out of each subdivision. In the end, the only place that was really lacking geometry near the final passes was the man's face which turned out fine anyway. The hands and faces were the main focus for me and I had to push and pull for a very long time to get them just right. Even if they look fine from the front, the fact that the top plane of the hand is shallower than it is tall gets complicated with such organic forms. It is probably much easier to completely avoid detailing until later but still use a higher subdivision level so that you can carve clean planes and edges for later. I also found that if I didn't enforce limits to the depth it just wouldn't work at all. When I tried pulling his knees out a smidgen it made his head look turtled down onto his shoulders. I did have to overlay the picture to get the main proportions a few times, looking too closely at details tends to make it hard to see those. It's a challenge just to render reliefs sometimes. You really have to force the materials and balance the physically accurate with the cavity and matcaps to get something that both shows the details and gives a sense of a real object. This one's mostly a depth render so you can see more or less what I've done with it. I kept some of the render passes on to keep it interesting but you get the idea. And because I was messing around with it, here's a more coppery material. Lastly, I was keeping some progress renders so I turned them into a quick gif to show you that it really does look pretty hideous for the first fifty million hours and then it just sort of magically turns out when I make the detail pass if I've done my homework and created a good base to work with. I didn't look up the source of the photo beforehand except to make sure I had the biggest copy of it but it's documented as "A Veteran with his Wife" by an anonymous photographer. They've got more than enough expression in their faces to easily make up your own story for them though. Here is the original.

ZBrushCentral has grown into a thriving community with almost one million posts! As a ZBC member, you already know just how inspiring the forum can be. Between the helpfulness of the community members and the constant sharing of free resources in the form of tutorials, materials, tools, brushes and more, ZBrushCentral has become a place of inspiration for hobbyists and professionals artists from varying industries across the world. The steady stream of ZBrush artwork shown here by artists every single day makes ZBC an incredibly inspiring place! ZBC facilitates a true synergy between Pixologic and all the wonderful artists who have made ZBrush the cornerstone of their artistic toolkit. What makes the great success of ZBC all the more remarkable is that the world of ZBrush is a visual one, filled with pictures and videos. Yet forums by their very nature are focused on text. Over the years we have found ways to work around this disconnect with features like Thread Galleries, Artist Galleries and the Top Row. These were great additions to the forum and have helped you more readily find the great artwork shared by the community, but we weren't satisfied. If ZBrush can push new boundaries for digital art, why can't ZBrushCentral do the same for sharing that art? For these reasons, we are proud to announce the arrival of a new experience here at ZBrushCentral, called ZBSee. A new way to approach forums - one that is truly focused on the art. Uploading images to the Main Forum is done the same way as always. But after the art has been posted, the real magic begins. You will see more and will be able to get to images with fewer mouse clicks. You will also find new ways to keep track of the images that you post as well as exciting methods to interact with the rest of the community - and with the world! The best way to learn ZBSee is to explore it and discover its features for yourself. But for a brief overview, check out the images below. We hope you enjoy this exciting new development in the ZBrush world! Happy ZBrushing. Note: We expect to be rolling out tweaks and feature refinements for ZBSee over the next few weeks. Please bear with us as the forum may occasionally need to be taken offline for brief periods in order to accomplish this. Note: ZBSee only operates in the Main Forum. All other forums continue to use the traditional view. CLICK HERE if you encounter any difficulties or have questions regarding ZBSee CLICK here to explore ZBSee

There are few solid facts about 3D artist Andy Jones. Things we know, traditionally trained as sculptor, turned 3D artist admits a bloody revolution. His mandatory service twisted a once lighthearted sculptor into a brutal engine of poly destruction. He lives in the deep woods where it is rumored that he has developed a computer that runs on fear.
