www.eat3D.com has a number of other training dvd’s you’ll probably find interesting as well!
coool intro for such a geat sculpting package guys.really looking forward to the DVD.
Here’s a full body AO pass using the matcap White01 and I think just the default light and shadow settings. Again, I was having some issues getting the best render not to dump on me on the full figure, especially at the 3k I was capturing to (probably my hardware), and used the method mentioned in the above post:
use ZAppLink to set up my camera, show one subtool and do best render, then show all of the other subtools one by one. Again using ZAppLink with multiple views saved, I was able to switch between views without having to go through that process again:
And a quick and dirty comp using the previous post’s methods as well

Thanks alot,Im going to check out the DVD for sure! cal
I liked the character and very interesting process … I certainly will adiquirir this DVD. Congratulations!
thanks very much for that tutorial in rendering!
More, more, more! Love this thread, keep it going. I know a lot of your stuff is under NDA, Michael, but surely you must have some more personal work you can wow us with. Superb talent, and I watched some more of the intros… what are you a Mensa genius? What a great voice, vocabulary, and presence.
Great news,
I’m sure gonna purchase the DVD+download!
Best regards

Thanks for all the kind words! My main goal with these DVD’s is to get people working in ZBrush and breaking down any kind of negative preconcieved notions or first impressions that people may have gotten over the years. I think the sooner ZBrush can be the forefront of 3D modeling accross the board, the happier we’ll all be at work, LOL–I’ve had a blast the past 2 years on a very ZBrush-centric pipeline!
That’s the goal anyway. If I can introduce one person and get them hooked, or convert one skeptical person, I’ve done my job (starting to sound like a cultist :-P)
I know posting here is kind of like preaching to the choir though haha
Michael, what renderer can you recommend that supports SSS and Transparency, perhaps hair, and that is easy to use when exporting from Zbrush? I looked at 3Delight but it looks really complicated with the command-based (non) interface. Thanks in advance.
I’ve been in the game engine side of things for too long; I asked around at work, Tony say’s Modo is easy to learn, they have a trial version you can check out, and it’s basically a matter of turning features on or off and adjusting sliders in the shader. Sounds like a winner to me!
Thanks, Michael! And I look forward to the DVDs and seeing more of your work.
great stuff, bought the first DVD
watched it through a couple of times already, looking forward to part 2 
Got to say i purchased this new DVD and it is really outstanding,
Actually i purchased a bundle and i strongly recomend it to everybody,
It is a must have DVD and Bundle,
Let’s support Eat3D and purchase this incredibly product 
Cheers

follow the steps of DVD, I can’t get the right tile scales effect, it seems my alpha can’t tile by itself automatically.
I really wonder why, help me.
MMMmmmmmiiiiiiiiikkkkkkeeeeee!!! What is up. I was looking at a preview for this video series today and was saying…man I know this dudes voice. I though I was going crazy cause I couldn’t put my finger on it, but it turns out it is you!! (Yeah I’m a nerd! )
How have you been bud? Looks like you are doing well! Tell the gang I said hello!
Peace-NickZ.
