This course is designed to teach you the fundamentals of Zbrush and how to think like a 3D Artist.

Throughout the course we will work on a character sculpt. We will apply each video lesson to our sculpt, beginning with basic sculpting and ending with UV's, Texturing, and exporting to Blender.

Over the course of this class I will introduce you to a collection of the necessary tools to create projects of your own. Each section is introduced in a specific order to teach you to the tools in the order that you'll be using them for the real process of creating your own projects in 3D. The lessons in these videos are broken down to give you the most essential functions first, so you have a good foundation.

By the end of this class, you will have a realistic overview of what it takes to create a project from start to finish. In the last chapters, we will go over workflow and creating projects of your own. It is my mission to give you a realistic goal to achieve, and to give you a good foundation moving forward.

If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me. I am happy to help!

I look forward to seeing what you create!
