Well now, this looks to be a cracking book. Incredibly detailed work on anatomy. Looking forward to doing something with it.
I’m going to buy it based off this post alone. You clearly know what you’re talking about. :lol:
Look forward to getting it.
The book`s simply awesome! I cannot say enough good things about it. If you´re serious about anatomy and sculpting, this book is a must-have!
5 out of 5 stars 
Just curious about everyone else’s progress with teh book, what chapter are you all at now? I just finish making the ZSphere figure. Although I must admit, I still had to take Mr. Spencer’s zsphere figure and append it to the one I made to make absolutely sure my proportions were correct. Hope ya don’t Mr. Spencer. 
hah I don’t mid at all! I expected many people would work from the figures included but I think its awesome you are working into the first chapter and building it all on you own. Thats the best way to learn!
I hoped it would be used that way 
Drop me a message or post a question if you run into any problems. I’m more than happy to try and help!
Cheers
Scott
I think I’m going to go ahead and use a skinned zsphere figure for the rest of the lessons instead of a boxman like the book/videos suggests. Will this be okay?
Absolutely! Just be sure to use the head measure guide with it. Also make sure its a ZSphere figure and not a Unified Skin from a ZSketch. You will want your multiple subD levels.

It might be a good idea to start a thread in which we would post our progress, not in the “mine is better than yours” spirit, but to get each others inputs, inputs from more advanced users, and maybe, when he has some free time (I know, he is most probably a busy man, and besides, he will be even busier writing the female pendant of this book for us 
) from Scott.
I am a complete beginner with zbrush (bought it for Christmas) and I only picked up the necessary skills to follow the book, so I tend to stay away from the main forum (as a poster I mean, of course I visit it to enjoy the artwork shown). I really think that getting better not only has to do with learning (which is obvious) but also getting the constructive critic from people more trained than us to spot errors.
What do you think ?

I’m mostly just Reading it at the moment as I’m in the middle of a piece of work at the moment. However when I finish that I intent to work my way through from the very beginning. And am looking forward to it.
Working on the head stage at the moment, not looking ‘exactly’ like in the book but I’m refining it as much as possible Also I second the idea for a book on studying and creating the female anatomy
One thing I’d say is use the videos as much as you can in conjunction with the book, they really help out.
I’m waiting for mine to come…I should have gotten next day shipping. :mad:
Heehee, I live near the AMAZON.CA distribution warehouse actually. Still have to wait 2 days at most for my book orders though.
I saw a link on amazon for a second edition of the first book, ZBrush Character Creation: Advanced Digital Sculpting.
It says it’s been adjusted for Zbrush 4?
Is the second edition of Character Creation a continuation of the 1st book?
I am considering buying the 1st one, but if the 2nd edition is an update, then I may hold on till it’s released.
Could someone in the know tell me?
thanks.
PS, just got my copy today, from Amazon.
Hey Guys,
Thanks for your interest in Character Creation. I am working on the update now. It will cover the tools as they stand now since there is no release set for ZBrush 4. Its an updated book with new tutorials and some original ones from the first run covering 3.5. If there are any new developments between now and release I will try to cover those as well.
I hope that helps
Scott
