FROM ZBRUSH TO WOOD SCULPT

 A few of my digital sculpts made it into the physical world. This would not have been possible without the help of my good friend Mitchell Bring. We have been friends for many years and I’ve had the pleasure of working with him on quite a few projects, bringing some of my ZBrush sculpts into the real world.

My worx featured in Digital Production Magazine

If you live in Germany, Austria or Switzerland, you might want to check out the july / august issue (04/11) of Digital Production Magazine. It contains 21 pages of ZBrush related articles by Scott Eaton, Klaus Jaworski, Henning Kleist and myself.

My contribution consists of an in depth look at ZBrush 4’s new features and how I use them to create weaponry for my TTVOR characters. Subscribers have acces to movies showing the entire workflow, reference sheets, .Ztl files and custom alphas.

My ZBrush 4.0 Beta thread live on ZBrush Central.

With the launch of ZBrush 4, the Betatester's threads went live on ZBrush Central. My thread contains a new functions implementation overview, a Shadowbox quickstart guide and 10 new Etcher_Sketcher sheets on the creation of a new Thin Veil of Reality character, using Z4.

It is so humbling and exciting to see my worx alongside those of great artists!
