Brendon Isaiah Bengtson's TWITCH STREAM Goodie Goodness Thread

Hello ZBC, it’s been an honor to be a part of this amazing community for many years and I’m all about giving back when and where I can. I started with ZB about 4 years ago and it has become such a vital part of my 3D Character and Prop pipeline. The support from the community and Pixologic themselves has been far beyond happy expectations. So this is one of the ways I want to give back.

I have been doing art based Twitch Streams (www.twitch.tv/BrendonIsaiahBengtson) a few times a week. Encased in each stream are little nuggets of ZB tips and tricks I frequently use in my own pipeline, and ones I figure out along the way. It’s a very dynamic process, who knows what you’ll get with each stream :). So, to make things more freely available I’ll be filling this thread with helpful tips and trick as well as info and peeks into what have been covered during Special Guest episodes. Stay tuned, this may get long.

If you have questions, comments, etc please feel free to ask away. I’ll be keeping an eye out for you :slight_smile:

Awesome concept! I love the helmet with the hoses draping over its shoulders and flowing down around it.

Got a chance to do a private workshop for my Twitch subscribers today. The vote was to sculpt hands. So, here is the result of the sculpting lesson.
Don’t forget to check out the free streams at www.twitch.tv/BrendonIsaiahBengtson
If you’re interested in becoming a Twitch subscriber these types of workshops and their replays are available.

This is where the sculpt ended up in the time allotted. I’d go back and polish some things up if it was going to be a full portfolio piece but here is where the workshop stopped.

I’ve been a part of this community for a while, and it’s awesome to see members like you giving back! Your Twitch streams sound like a goldmine for ZBrush enthusiasts like me. I’ve checked out some of the replay links you provided, and they’re informative. I also suggest you guys check out the opportunity to buy the cheapest twitch followers. Thanks for sharing your expertise in such a cool and interactive way.
