ZBrush Tutorial DVDs?

neolith

I'm thinking about finally learning ZBrush, so I was looking for tutorial DVDs helping me to get into the software. There's quite a lot of those on the net though, so I would be grateful if someone could recommend a DVD or two that are worth the money for a beginner. Getting into the interface and creating highres geometry for normal maps is what I'm mostly interested in.

I found Meats Meyer's 'Intro to ZBrush' at Gnomon to be invaluable. Got me up and running in a day. Well worth the investment. Hope that helps.

depends on what direction you want to go with zbrush. Meats does amazing stuff for illustration type stuff - but his sculpting isn't the most accurate.

Codeman

Just an FYI the dvd i was referring to is an introduction on using the tools in zbrush not on how to make art per se. So his personal style was not what the dvd is about. He does offer other tuts that show how to do his style.

So if you are interested in learning how to take advantage of many of the ZB tools I found this to be a great investment.

Codeman: I learned Zbrush from the Meats dvd as well. It's a really good one for sure.

I also really like the Wayne Robinson DVD's (most of them were from when he worked at kurv I think so they can be found at:

Anyways, Wayne covers both how to use the tools, and general art techniques which really helps. He also has mudbox vids which are also great.

Good luck!
