I'm a newbie - asking few questions

Hi ZBrush members,

My name is Kelly. I’m from Toronto, Canada. I’m very new, I mean brand new to this ZBrush. I have not yet bought ZBrush as of yet. Next month, I’m thinking of buying ZBrush.

But I didn’t know where to post to ask few questions. I hope I placed this thread in the correct forum section. I apologize, if it’s not in the correct forum.

First of all, I’m deaf… so I think in ASL (American Sign Language) and English alternatively… so sometimes, it’s hard to read so many words when I depend alot on visuality.

I wanted to ask if there’s a book where I can buy that has alot of visual, less talk as I cannot hear, I tried to use some of the tutorials, but I think the person uses alot of talking which I cannot hear… as I need to follow step by step visually.

Also, I wonder if ZBrush can use with Vue Infinite and Poser 8? I tried to search in this ZBrush website to see if ZBrush can work with Vue Infinite and Poser 8 in which I am seriously thinking of buying all 3 next month.

I deeply appreciate any of your help in guiding me to the correct books which may help me who is “new” to this but willing to learn as I have alot in my mind that I would love to attempt to make them come real onto ZBrush, Vue and Poser, but don’t know where to start or how to go about it.

Forgive me, if these questions seem dumb as I’m new and I’m in awe of other artists who’ve made so many images that I’ve seen in these forums.

Appreciate your help. Thank you.

Blessings,
kelly

Regarding books, go here and click the “books” tab: http://www.pixologic.com/zclassroom/training/

Regarding ZBrush and other apps, ZBrush can be used with any application that supports the OBJ or DXF format. I know that Poser supports OBJ. I’m not sure about Vue.

Hi.
You should try to look at Amazon.com for example. Some time ago I’ve bought “Zbrush Character Creation: Advanced Digital Sculpting” there, and I am very satisfied with it. I know they have another book with introduction to zbrush, you could find it useful.
If it’s going about useing ZB with Vue… Well I’m useing them both almost every day and this combination works very fine. I don’t know to much about poser but I know hat zBrush has a plugin caled PoserScaler so it definitely works with Poser.
I hope that helped a bit.
