Description
Sculpting Hands in Zbrush Premium Course is a short timelapse and real time annotated premium course (just under 2 hours).
We are going to look at all stages of production from basic modeling with ZModeler (to have the most control of the mesh) to giving you all the necessary knowledge like proportions, bones, muscles and tendons to feel most comfortable creating your own hands.
The course has a lot of photo references as well as anatomy plates to guide through the whole process. It's not only seeing how one creates the model and what brushes to use but also explaining how to read the surface forms with the help of anatomy to understand what is what and then creating your own hands :).
Software used:
Zbrush 2018
What is included:
HD video files (108 minutes of content). Timelapse and real time fully annotated videos. All relevant parts are shown in real time.
Zbrush files of all stages with subdivision levels so you can follow along.

Instructor
Ahoy there, my name is Serge Astahov. I am 3d generalist with over 9 years of experience working in different fields like Print Commercials, Film and TV.
My initial plan is to create anatomy sculpting series tackling one body part at a time :) and break the complex subject into smallish tutorials.
