Want to learn ZBrush, don't know where to start.

Getting started with MODO
Hi Everyone! Help me help others.... Several months ago we had a series of crossover videos created to help artists that are picking up MODO from 3ds Max, Maya, Softimage, or C4D.

Best place to start to learn authoring shaders?
I want to learn how to write shaders, I believe the language being HLSL (are there other types? I assumed HLSL is the standard, if not only.)

Retopology, how it flows and how to start it

I was wondering: When you have to retopo something like that: would you start with the borders(?): Or would you just begin with the obvious part where you know there is no curvature and build the rest based on that: I find it somehow hard toget a good looking retopo-mesh with that simple mesh.... it is the… -

Getting a start on a Sci Fi Environment
Hey All, So, I've decided to try my hand at a concept I saw online that I thought was awesome. Its for the upcoming game Deus Ex 3 by Eidos Montreal.

Re: Sketchbook: Jake Juip
I've been working on a cool retro-futuristic environment that I call Data Integrity! I tried to build my skills with environmental storytelling, real-time VFX, and using an optimization-focused pipeline with decals and a shared trim sheet/atlas. I'm having a lot of fun trying out and learning new things, so if you have any…
