Digital Sculpting in Zbrush 

In this session you will get a introduction to the most powerful digital sculpting tool within the movie and game industry.

When Friday, 19:10
Where Stage
Speaker Øyvind Berget
Level Beginner
Tools used Zbrush 4R2, Wacom Tablet

During this seminar

Øyvind will go trough the basics of the zbrush interface and talk about why Zbrush is so different from other 3D programs. Zbrush is a program that many artists consider the easiest and fastest way to be digitally creative in three dimensions. You will learn which brushes to use and for which purpose. He will teach you his sculpturing techniques and show how you can get started with your very own organic Zbrush bust.

In the last bit of the session, Øyvind will talk about the long way to become a digital artist. An artist doesn't get good at art over night, they practice. He will talk about anatomy and the importance of referencing the world around us.

After the seminar, you can also get help from our mentors to learn more. We hope to see you show off what you've learned in one (or more!) of our creative competitions.
