In this course, we will learn how to create a realistic human bust using ZBrush.
We will be creating this character entirely within ZBrush, so we will begin by using ZSpheres to create the base mesh for the head and upper torso. From there, we will be going through the process of reshaping and detailing facial features, and in doing so, we will be placing special emphasis on important topics such as proper facial proportions, understanding the importance and function of key facial muscles, understanding the effects of aging on the human face, and making sure we incorporate all of these critical concepts into our final character. We will also use a variety of tools and techniques within ZBrush to create several articles of clothing for our character.

At Digital-Tutors, weve found that many students starting out in modeling have difficulty in creating the specific vision they have. In many cases its not necessarily a lack of knowledge of the tools as much as it is a lack of confidence and experience. So, to give you a head start on your modeling, weve put together a number of tips collected from production and from teaching students that will help you build the best models you can with minimal frustration.
Well talk about breaking down our modeling projects into manageable chunks. Then well cover methods for staying aware of as much information as possible about our geometry while we work. Well cover specific techniques for adding circular resolution to square objects and go over setting up image planes. This course is meant for students that have some modeling experience and are familiar with some modeling tools but would like a few tips for creating a smoother workflow and getting better results.

Take your skills to the next level. This Learning Maya 2012 Tutorial Video is the ultimate in comprehensive instruction for the discerning professional.

In this series of lessons, we will model and texture a 3d building and integrate it into a photographic plate.
Architectural visualization is an invaluable tool for being able to see a building, often inside and out, before constructing it in real life. Seeing structures in 3d will often highlight issues that may not be apparent when looking at drawings and plans. Well start by building up the geometry of the two buildings from scratch, using many of Mayas modeling tools. Well use deformers to create sweeping curves and well use existing geometry to add detail like balconies and rails. With the modeling complete, Kyle will take you through the process of adding materials and textures to the geometry. Youll also go through the necessary steps for adding appropriate lighting and setting up your renders. In the end, youll have a nice final render with your custom built 3d building sitting in a real location.

In this series of lessons well learn how to take the output from a motion tracker app and import a 3D model and light, render and composite it into our original footage in Nuke.
Well begin this project by setting up our motion tracked scene by adding the original footage and aligning everything to make working easier. Well then bring in our 3d object and learn how to place it in our scene. Well then learn how to create ground geometry and create lighting that matches our original shot. Well then create multiple render passes and layers to make compositing much easier. After we render, well jump into Nuke and learn about such topics as shadow matching, color matte usage and various techniques to match our 3d render with our live action back-plate. Well finish with a global color correct and add realistic motion blur to finish our shot.

In this ZBrush tutorial we will learn how to quickly setup long hair using FiberMesh onto a simple base head. Until now hair inside of ZBrush has primarily been sculpted.
