Zbrush Advanced Workflows

After 4 months in the making ZBrush Advanced Workflows with over 10hrs of content, covers instruction in both Zbrush and Modo, exploring concepts and methods to enchance and optimize model development and creation. Presented with full hi-res video and audio narration.

Topics include; Model preparation, Sculpting methodology, uses for the Z-projection brush, uses of the Morph brush, UV tricks and tips, Zmapper and arbitrary meshes, Organic sculpting using masks, Hard surface workflows in zbrush, Retopology, Displacement maps and rendering them.

The intention with all the tutorials I make is to provide a lot of information and acquired knowledge. Not just watch me work like there are countless examples of already. The goal is any one of these lecture topics is worth the price of the collection they are a part of. I have seen a lot of instructional material over the years and I am trying to make tutorials how I’ve always wanted them to be; at an advanced level, no filler, time lapse repetitive sections and covering topics and techniques I have not seen else where.

MISGUIDED TUTORIALS

Here is a video preview, the quality is a bit degraded I'm afraid.

    So you want a critique or just want us to spend $75?

    Indeed, I think this will fit better in GD than in P&P... moving now.

    A straight pimp of that rhinoeye thing would be cool. Doesn't look worth 75 dollars though, the instruction seems a bit iffy from the preview.

    but i'm cheap, take it worth a grain of salt.

    Looks interesting, although for me the other tutorials that you are developing are a bit more of interest :)

    I can't find any good information on how the download works. Can people only download it once? If so it might be a good idea to remind to back them up properly. Does it have some kind of DRM attached to it or something? I might be willing to buy, but I'd need to know in some detail how the terms of the download is. Preferably without having to go digging around for it :p

    I believe the download link is active indefinitely. I bought some tutorial downloads for Messiah a year ago through the lulu website that are still in my account when I login. I believe you can download as many times as you need to also. NO DRM

    Only when the project is retired and it is no longer for sale do you lose access, since it will be removed from the server at that point.
