Created this page today, mostly moving links from the Env page.

Have any cool sculpting tuts or apps to add?

Thanks for initiative.

I could point out the excellent book of Eric Keller "Introducing ZBrush", that is for ZBrush 3.1, but it's still usefull for 3.5.
He teaches the basic of ZBrush then he moves on sculpting a skull and after the Medusa head from a polysphere with clear anatomy tips.
Last chapter is dedicated to import/export from Maya.
Materials, light, rendering explained and dvd with movies covering all aspects of the book.

Actually on ZBrushCentral.com there's this tutorial that seems good, but never watched.

add silo from nevercenter to the app list:

Sure max and blender have also some sculpting tools but silo made them actually part of the core experience of the app so thats why I think it should be added as well to the list.

Maybe add a list of retopo tools / apps such as topoGun, silo, maxRetopo or 3d coat as some apps are specific to just that task or very specialized in it.

Eric Chadwick

Added! Thanks guys.

he has some decent ones in there.

Eric Chadwick

Nick's stuff is great.

I think the best thing for the wiki page is to limit it to tuts that cover harder-to-find subjects, or tuts that offer in-depth explanations of reasoning and technique.

Silent timelapse videos showing someone sculpting a head or a rock or a brickwall don't really teach much. At least for me. What do you guys think?

Rick Stirling

Add some of Joes : http://vimeo.com/somuchmonsters

Thanks Rick.

@ Edit Missed that part...

Eric Chadwick

No thanks. Looks cool, but doesn't teach anything. See this.
