Production steps include concept design, pre-production, multi-material application/allocation, engineering design and application, shop safety, base formation, machining, fabrication and alternatives, nernies and grebles, mold making, gadgets, gags, paint/faux finishes and other "weird science" tricks of the trade. Independent filmmakers looking to build cost-effective props will benefit from this rare glimpse at a master's process and techniques.

ZBrush to Photoshop: Character Design Tutorial

Instructor: Scott Spencer

In this tutorial, Scott Spencer shows a professional workflow for creature design using Pixologic ZBrush and Adobe Photoshop, using ZBrush to develop ideations on a creature head. Attention is given to design, shape relationships, physiology, and character.

This character sculpture is taken to a finish using quick sculpting techniques Scott has developed to help in creating dynamic character designs under tight deadlines. The sculpture is then rendered and exported to Photoshop where a final pass of color and atmosphere is applied to tie the design together into a cohesive whole, ready for presentation to a director.

Motion Graphics for Feature Film

Instructor: Neil Huxley

In this class, the art direction process for motion graphics in a feature film production pipeline is revealed. Motion Graphics Art Director for James Cameron's Avatar, Neil Huxley, takes a step-by-step guide from creative brief, conceptualization and design in Illustrator and Photoshop through to animation in After Effects.

Some of the topics that will be covered include: creating a workflow that allows for creative freedom and clear communication, quick iterations for client approvals, creating a graphics bible, and setting up clean After Effects comps which allow for client feedback revisions.

Collection Tutorial ZbrushWorkshops Vol.1| project files | .mp4 | 6.2Gb

Need to ramp up quickly? Immerse yourself in ZBrush until your knees are weak? Maybe a 5 week class is too long for you? Maybe you're a ZBrush warrior and you're here to take it all on. Welcome aboard. The world needs more people like you.

Comprehensive Introduction to ZBrush 4
This workshop starts from the ground up and is perfect for beginners looking to get started in ZBrush as well as more advanced users who want to dive into the nuts and bolts of the program.You begin by learning how to navigate around the interface and slowly build up your sculpting skills. Gradually more complicated tools are introduced as you develop your proficiency with ZBrush.

Sculpting Clothing and Understanding Folds
This workshop focuses on how we can organize the complexity of drapery to create realistic clothing for our characters and ZBrush's new toolset for sculpting non-organic surfaces.

Sculpting Hard Surfaces, Armor and Repetitive Patterns
252 minutes of comprehensive lectures, demonstrations and sculpting projects. This workshop provides a complete look at ZBrush's hard surface sculpting toolkit. We take advantage of powerful tools like Mesh Extraction, GroupsLoops and ZSketch as well the new planar brushes.

Sculpting Realistic Skin & Scales
Sculpting skin and scales is one of the most often requested workshops by ZBrush users. It requires, first and foremost, an understanding of the different zones of the face and the conceptual aspect of organizing form in one of the most difficult to organize environments, a crocodile's body! This workshop is created to set you on your way to sculpting using both a structured approach (breaking the form down into its smallest zones/elements) and freehand, everything and the kitchen-sink approach.

Sculpting the Face with Scan Data
The workshop looks at ZBrush’s projection toolset, ways to resculpt the mesh for more sculptural realism and tools for fitting the topology of the model perfectly to the sculpt. Along the way we explore the anatomy of the face with special attention paid to the problem areas of the orbit of the eye.

Gn0m0n W0rksh0p-Stylized Character Modeling for Production (2011)
English | AVC1 1280x720 15 fps | AAC 64 Kbps 22.05 KHz | 2.63 GB
Genre: Video Training

In this DVD Alessandro shows his workflow to model a stylized character for production, based on a given concept. The essential steps are covered, starting with the presentation of the initial 2D concept and associated reference materials. Alessandro then demonstrates blocking out the character with ZSpheres in ZBrush using the concept as reference for proportions. This becomes his base in 3ds Max to block out all the main components through polymodeling. Next, he details the character with a combination of polymodeling techniques in 3ds Max and ZBrush sculpting. Particular attention is paid to keeping the topology of the various parts consistent for an animation environment, showing in particular how to efficiently retopologize parts in 3ds Max to achieve a better geometry distribution. After modeling an addition to the character not present in the initial concept, Allesandro renders and presents the final model in ZBrush in the form of a character sheet and a turntable.

Topics Covered :

* Character introduction and setup of image planes in 3d studio Max.
* Basic polymodeling of the elm in 3d studio Max
* Character blocking in Zbrush based on concept sheet.
* Overall detailing with polymodeling and zbrush sculpting.
* Modeling of an additional prop : Military backpack
* Retopology in 3d studio Max and character presentation in Zbrush.

Digital-Tutors : Using the Blend Shapes Plugin for ZBrush 4
27 min. 58 sec. |Released on June 30, 2011 |Project Files Included (186 MB)
Required Software: Zbrush 4 and up, Maya 2008 and up

In this course we will learn to use the Blend Shapes plugin for ZBrush 4.

"Blend shapes are a great way to quickly add expression to our characters or otherwise deform models based on our specific design. ZBrush is particularly adept at allowing us to create those target shapes. In this series of lessons we’ll learn how to use the Blend Shapes plug-in to quickly create and export blend shapes for use in Maya. We will begin by talking about the installation of the plug-in and then take a look at its simple interface. We will proceed to create an expression for our old man character and export it quickly to Maya. While there, we will look at how to access our new blend shapes and talk about the other data that will come through with the transfer. We will also talk about exporting multiple blend shapes to create expression libraries and we'll finish up by looking at how we can export shapes for multiple subtools. Once completed, you'll be able to start transferring your own blend shapes to Maya much more quickly and easily."

6 videos in this course

1. Introduction and project overview
2. Installing the plug-in
3. Using the plug-in interface
4. Exporting single blend shapes
5. Exporting multiple blend shapes
6. Exporting blend shapes with multiple subtools
