More ZBrush Heads (September 2012)
Practice sketches (maquettes) in Zbrush. Just testing my knowledge of Head anatomy. Many thanks to ZBrushworkshops.
BPY Scripts added!

Blender with BSurfaces: My Dream 3D app come true?
What is so great about BSurfaces? Put simply, BSurfaces allows an artist to create an intricate surface with just a few hand drawn lines…

ZBrush 4R2 – DynaMesh: Bye bye manual retopology?
DynaMesh is a new feature Of ZBrush 4 release 2 that allows the user to add to a mesh while at the same time maintaining an evenly distributed topology!

Daz Studio 4: The Missing Manual
