Creating 3-D Characters and Images in Pixologic’s ZBrush

Link via The Epoch Times

I’ve always perceived 3-D graphics and animation as the art form most difficult to learn and create. Past experiences dabbling with such programs rarely lasted more than a few minutes—I would open the program, feel intimidated, and quickly close it down.

This perception has been changed by ZBrush.

The software, created by Pixologic, is a digital sculpting and painting tool made for the 3-D art community. It is often used in the film and video game industries and has big names under its belt, including the surface details of Davy Jones and his crew in “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End,” and the upcoming sequel to the hit game, “Assassin’s Creed.”

ZBrush essentially allows you to sculpt digital clay. You can build, mold, push, and stretch it as you please. The end product can be photorealistic 3-D models of whatever your imagination can conjure.

ZBrush is available at an education discount price of $390.
