Wow Nick, I just watch all of these videos for the organic part of this project or character. Really a great tutorial. Thanks so much for taking the time to do these. Very enlightening for someone like myself that has no background or experience in this sort of thing in Zbrush. I really appreciate it. Looking forward to the next stages.

Really awesome as always, Nickz!

Thanks guys! Much appreciated!

In this series of videos we will take a look at various ways to create UV’s that can be used later to bake down our polypaint information or bake shading (lighting and materials) down to our final texture.

This video will show how to quickly create UV’s in ZBrush using UV Master. These UV’s can quickly give you a way to transfer your polypaint information to a texture map.

Thanks a lot for the stuff on your vimeo channel!

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

I started a new Dyna (Dino) Sketch. This was a lot of fun. I needed to call it quits before I added too much detail.

I found some amazing matcaps I would like to share out as well http://luckilytip.blogspot.com/2012/09/zbrush-custom-matcap-10.html

Hi Nick, I saw some of your videos and I should say they are really a gold mine!
Everyone should take a look at them, even professionals can find some useful trick or technique.

Good job with the T-Rex, he reminds me Storm’s style, really nice and clean with a strong character.

Thanks for sharing such good stuff!

yeah that guy has some really nice materials and stuff on his blog ;f shame i cant understand a word.
Oh and great dino, great design.

Cool dino!

Thanks for sharing your tutorials. It’s very useful to me.
Love your blog, nice inspiration.:+1:

still makes me smile :slight_smile:

Thanks all for the nice comments! You all inspire me to want to be a better artist! So thank you for that!!

Peace! :slight_smile:

P.S. I am a huge fan of Storms work…so I’m sure it turned out this way because of what I have seen from his work! Thanks Storm for the inspiration.

I’m really enjoying the new ZBrush 4r5. I’m doing some test trying to learn the new Panel Loops, what a great new addition to the program.

Here is a little hard surface test shape.

LOve the hardsurface on that last one, nick. I really like the retro look to it :slight_smile: Great stuff as always, man. :+1:

Looking nice, gotta try it out myself :slight_smile:

I had some free time yesterday, so here is my first sculpt for the year! This just started out as a sphere, then dynamesh and some primitive shapes. I love ZBrush! Too much fun! :slight_smile: Hope you all had a great new year!
