Ok Here goes,
I’m new to the whole zbrush thing and indeed pretty much to modelling itself. To give a breif overview of my overall skill level I spent much of my time growing up modelling with real life figures in clay and other materials. I used to also do a lot of conversion work for warhammer 40k models when i was much younger which is really how i got my start. Most recently I have worked with photoshop and maya but I have mainly concentrated on textures for in game mods and personal photography (i.e. basically i used maya for rendering and basic static mesh creation).
Zbrush really appeals to me but i have a few questions…
- I have read it is worth picking up a graphics tablet for this program, as mine just broke i was thinking of just picking up a cheap wacom bamboo for about $79 will this see me through in zbrush?
2)I’m keen to learn but i really only want to do this as a hobby. I’ve picked up introducing zbrush by Eric Keller and zbrush character creation by Scott spencer are there any other books that you would recommend reading?
3)Point 2 aside (in that i take my hobbies very seriously) I wouldn’t mind taking courses on zbrush if at all possible does anyone know of any online courses i could take or if possible colleges or night schools in south virginia that offer such classes?
I’m sure i’ll have plenty more questions but i thank you in advance for your replies this community seems to be very supportive and I can’t wait to see what I can do with this program.
