low entry threshold tutorials for Maya & Zbrush

Cirmius

Hi,

can I ask you guys for recommending some YouTube channels that have low entry threshold for animating/rigging/xGen in Maya, sculpting in Zbrush. With low entry thresold I mean something like donut tutorial in Blender. It would be nice if they're concetrated for game industry.

I love the idea of Andrew Price's tutorial that it's more about understanding and feeling Blender than actually making a doughnoot. That journey ended in February for me but knoweldge stays with you for like really, really long time. I'd love to do something like this again in Zbrush and Maya with animating/rigging stuff.

Someone recommended me Pavlovich for Zbrush and he gives you good basics, but you have focus very hard and even with notes I didn't feel that free in Zbrush like in Blender after Blenderguru's tutorial (that freedom gave me repeating timelapses, but most of them I watched did not have game industry workflow)

Should be a good start.
Next would be the Maya learning Channel.

Any zBrush tutorial you can find by Joseph Drust is a good one. Joseph does his work with beginners in mind, so if you can find a comprehensive guide to zB done by him it will be a good one. Many youtube tutorials are done by users who have repeated steps many thousands of times which result in the lightning fast mouse movement and partial description problem which alienates beginners.

As far as being game orientated there are loads of tutorials out there that dont indicate orientation towards game production but deal with key aspects of it, like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuQzPDs99yM . Also the wiki here is a great way to start.
