Well last night at midnight the book I spent a year of my life working on was finally released. 'Essential ZBrush' hit the shelves and is now available at Amazon and similar outlets, with shops around the world getting stock over the next 7 days. This book contains it all..every workflow, type of sculpting,(from organics and hard surface to environment modelling etc...) Normal and Displacement map pipelines for both Maya and 3d Max…. lets the reader learn as he/she constructs not a single model or even a couple of models but an entire scene that's taken to final render over the course of the book. This book contains more than I could add here in 16 posts.


Add to this the 3 hours of footage that shows the creation of ‘The Guardian’ character from the front cover (and main scene we create), and the many extras such as 50 plus custom Matcap's, custom brushes, alphas and stencils that are available nowhere else and much more and you’ve got a book I'm intensely proud to put my name to.

This book outlines many brand new and never written or seen on video before workflows to help make life that bit easier. I'll get some pics up on this blog as soon as I’m able to of this 754 page monster of a book. With Glen Southern acting as technical editor and contributing the design of the Guardians weapon you know that this is a book you're going to want to have in your collection. This is hardcore ZBrush learning aimed at everyone from total beginners to advanced users. This is a long book and your sure to find it interesting.

As a thank you to people on those forums that I frequent and have showed such support over the years my publisher is offering members a 35% discount off the cover price when you purchase the book from their website, www.wordware.com.

Just enter ZB0594 when you order and you’ll get the discount. If you are outside the U.S., where they offer free shipping, you can email Tim McEvoy at Wordware (tmcevoy@wordware.com)and he’ll give you the best shipping rate he can for the order.

Enjoy

Wayne...
