Finally 64 bit ZBrush: Although ZBrush 4R7 will be the last 32 bit version of ZBrush, Pixological will also release a public beta of a 64 bit version of ZBrush 4R7! ZBrush 5 will be fully 64b bit. With access to more memory plus all the previously mentioned low polycount modes, ZBrush could handle even larger more complex models than it currently does.

I created a ZSphere basemesh which is more generic and allows me to quickly alter proportions.

Having just created a new base mesh, I decided to fit the skull I created in week 1 of my Zbrush every week series inside my new base mesh.

Just spent some time revising an old sculpt to increase the level or realism.

My New Year’s resolution is to sculpt something new at least once a week. I’ve started sculpting based on the drawings of Dr. Paul Richer (1849-1933).

Rather than type out text tutorials, I thought I would collect links to some of the best video tutorials for Blender. Most of the tutorials give tips for rendering but the last tutorial shows how to use GoB, an unofficial GoZ for sending models between Blender and ZBrush.

In ZBrush tools can’t be retopologized without destroying existing 3D layers. In Blender, objects can be retopologized and existing Shape keys will be altered accordingly. The altered base object and its shape keys can then be reimported into ZBrush. The conversion is tedious work.

Figurative art is all about observation. Looking at the work of other artists helps to improve an artist’s technique. These are the artists who inspire me to be better. I learn just by looking at their work and some of them have videos detailing their technique.
