Great course. Only the rendering part could be a little more explained. Maybe it could be done inside zbrush. But anyway, congratulations. Learned a lot.

Very detailed explanations with no assumptions of prior knowledge. Instructor mentions several ways to do things, but reminds students not to get overwhelmed and press on. Well worth the investment in time and money.

I am not new to modelling, however I am new to zbrush and decided to go with this course as I wanted to learn how to make cartoon characters using digital clay ;) As I have a few projects that will use what I have learnt here. I really enjoyed it from start to finish! Hats off to the author for making such a great and informative course. Some of it got repetitious but I think in this case it was needed to really drum in how ZBrush works and to get the most out of it. Might take some more of his other courses :D Thanks so much for making this available to us.
