Learn digital sculpting for games and film using ZBrush 4R7
In this Intro to ZBrush course, students will learn better practices for workflows to move a project from A to Z as well as learn how to use a combination of tools within ZBrush to easier create the work needed. We'll investigate how quickly Qmesher can interactively, and on the fly, create proxy/stand-in meshes that will later lead to creating more complex meshes. With GoZ, students can use their particular 3D program to directly export/import their meshes to model with in conjunction with ZBrush to achieve better results. We'll explore using the layers palette when adding in details as well as the deformation palette for easy scaling and mirroring. Other key functionalities within ZBrush are the modify topology palette and, especially useful, the transpose action tools. Both have a great number of features to facilitate our workflow and help speed up the process of production. We'll look to create separate elements in separate Ztools and then merge each mesh into one single scene for a final completed piece.

Very clear explanation of the subject matter.
So far so good. There is a lot to learn in Z-Brush and he is covering things at a decent pace.
Course was progressing well, but for the 4th chapter, the key objects were not included in the course material downloads. This was mentioned in the Q&A, but zero instructor response. Can't recommend if you want to actually follow the course properly.
really great introductory course. Teaches you everything you need to know and more to get you started in ZBrush.
I have been using Zbrush for close to a decade and I still managed to learn a lot of new tools and techniques in this course. Zbrush is a very dense program and this course dissects many of its features in a clear and effective way. Unlike many courses I have taken in Zbrush, this course does not focus exclusively on sculpting, making this a well-rounded introduction to Zbrush. I would recommend this program to beginners and intermediate users alike. For those more experience users I am sure there is something here for you too.
so good, there are aa few things not covered......i.e. when they add the plaque for the building there is no lesson on how to create the lettering alpha he uses, and when using the Z modeler brush the lessons on selecting were a bit too fast, I had to redo the building several times to get the idea I was selecting through the model.......but it just requires more time and more study in topics outside of the scope
Lastly I dropped the rating because after several weeks he has not answered 1 of my questions, so it clearly no longer being supported by the instructor
awesome

I definitely learned some new stuff here. And this is coming from a guy who's going to school for this stuff.
