Best Z-Brush Training DVD?

Giles_P

Christmas has recently presented the opportunity to get a Z-Brush license. Its for personal development more than anything but my question is, which training DVD would be most suited. There are a couple I have highlighted out however I am unsure which would provide the best introduction for a complete beginner to the program.

Eat 3D - Comprehensive introduction to z-brush 3.5

Gnomon workshop - Introduction to Z-Brush 4

I am open to any suggestions and thanks for peoples help and advice in advance.

I think it's really going to depend on what you're looking to do. Hard surface modeling? or maybe character creation? Not to mention that some of these are for older versions of zBrush or some mainly go over the new features in ZB4.

Personally I enjoyed [ame="http://www.amazon.com/ZBrush-Creature-Design-Creating-Dynamic/dp/1118024338/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1355518826&sr=8-3&keywords=zbrush"]Scott Spencer's books [/ame]as they really explained different sculpting styles as well as the application itself, not just one workflow for a project.

Eat3D are the best definitely

Eat 3D - Comprehensive introduction to z-brush 3.5 is really good. Michael Pavlovich is very easy to follow. Only thing is this is pretty old, there are a ton of new feature that are not covered,, but you can check out the zbrush classroom (I think thats what its called), they are free.

Second for Michael being an awesome teacher

Anything from Eat3D really, since they're awesome and they very neatly clean stuff to show.

Digital Tutors is another good one, they are basic and introductory as you can get, and that's not a bad thing if you want to learn basics of ZB (thanks to DT, I was able to learn the basics of Mudbox for example in under a day or two from A to Z).

But they both are seriously lacking for anything related to organic, anatomy, sexy body and boobies with penises sculpting.

In that case, you might want to give Gnomon a check, although in the case of Gnomon, most of the unique tutorials tend to be free for ZB, and anything else can be very easily thought by looking and reading up anatomy.

If you want some serious stuff to check for ZB in terms of character sculpting with anatomy, I suggest Scott Spencer for such things.

I always reference the zack petroc gnomon vids. I knew fuck all about zbrush when i watched these vids and they helped a ton.
