My first test with ZBrush, a great 3D modeling program. Growing up, I loved (and still do) messing around with clay/playdough so programs like these are right up my alley. As great as ZBrush is though, I'll be buying Autodesk Mudbox 2011 which is like ZBrush, except Mudbox is the cream of the crop for 3D digital sculpting. So you'll be seeing some very interesting creations from me (with actual renders and turntables, etc). ZBrush - www.pixologic.com Autodesk Mudbox 2011 - area.autodesk.com

A tutorial on how to use ZSpheres in Zbrush.
Please be sure to watch in HD if you can. Updates in this revision include new shaders for the Vest, Thighs, Gloves, Guns, and Visor. As well as a Orange Metal pass to for all the hard plating. Currently the gloves have a three shader composite of Black fabric, Low Specular segmenting, and Metal plating on knuckles & joints. Unfortunately those details are hard to see with just the current turntable. I will try to make some Higher res close up stills of notable areas. I also was able to incorporate a Depth pass that I am using to drive a soft focus lens effect. Definitely on track to achieving a final turntable that is similar to the last 5 seconds of the video. I am also doing some side research on 3D Printing, so those of you who would enjoy a statuette may have that opportunity. I used the After Effects plugin called Normality by Stefan Minning: www.minning.de And once more I would love to thank VenustasLuci for being so amazingly supportive and giving me little critiques. :) Note: It seems HTML5 does not play nice with the F4V Video format.
Added some shader variation to the sections of the Coat & pants. Also made a Cavity map to emphasize the scratches. I used the After Effects plugin called Normality by Stefan Minning: www.minning.de Which I used to light the character, combined with a shadow pass generated within After Effects. There is still a lot of work to be done. I will be adding a Visor Pass and a Proper Metal pass + Scratch pass. ------------------------------------------ And I just wanted to give a very Special thanks to VenustasLuci for being so supportive and amazing! *Heart*
Note: -- www.youtube.com --For an updated Video. :) Let me know what you think Used a Normal Pass combined with Stefan Minning's Normality Plugin to do the lighting in After Effects www.minning.de Currently just scoping out the data size of the 30 different render passes I will have to generate to achieve the final look I am shooting for.

This is a little pipeline I put together combining a few tutorials I could find here and there on the web. This is by no means comprehensive and in all likelihood, a little too specific. The video shows you how I was able to take a model created in ZBrush, export it into Cinema 4D, create usable UVs, and re-import that back into ZBrush. Before you post a bunch of hate please recognize that I'm not any kind of pro at this stuff. This is in fact my first tutorial and I'm still very much in the learning stage of 3d modeling. my hope is that someone out there struggling to make sense of platform interoperability will find this useful, and then pass it on. Good luck and let me know if this helps any of you.
This video from artist and educator Andrew Klein (andrewklein.net and kleinmakelearngood.com) looks at how to use the new Zsphere2 sketch system to quickly lay in form for an anatomical torso study, then quickly retopologize and sculpt. The end result is an anatomical torso made from the ground-up in under 25 minutes, a super-fast workflow thanks to Zbrush 3.5!

hi
An alternate way to build complex RT mesh, using retopology over rough Zbrush sculpt. I like this method, gives more control of shape and silhouette.
What if the world was your palette and ZBrush was your Canvas? What if you could have instant access to billions of images? What if you could then use those images for reference, texturing, and sculpting? What if you could do all this with out ever leaving ZBrush? What if, is the question... Z4 is the answer!
One of the core functions of ZBrush has always been to provide artists with the ability to create in an environment that allows for complete freedom of expression. The lack of technical barriers that make working with in ZBrush feel like real world sculpting and painting is why so many have created such ground breaking work. We would now like to introduce you to, GoZ, a new core feature of ZBrush that will bring you even closer to creating at the speed of your imagination. With GoZ, artists can spend less time on technical aspects, and more time on simply being creative. With a single click of a button, GoZ lets you quickly transfer your geometry back and forth between ZBrush and other 3D application like Maya, Cinema 4D, and Modo, with many other applications soon to come. This means that you can place ZBrush and its GoZ feature at the center of any workflow. Not only can you instantly transfer geometry between ZBrush and other 3D applications, but any texture, normal, and displacement maps created with in ZBrush will automatically be connected to the appropriate shader networks in the program of your choosing. Now you are free to work with out the distraction of timely export and import operations. GoZ breaks down the walls between other applications extending the power and fluid nature of ZBrush even further. GoZ is actually a small glimpse at the many powerful features that have been developed for ZBrush 4. At this time we will be releasing the first version of GoZ ...
