ZBrush v3.5 R3 - the most recent release of the program for three-dimensional modeling. Distinctive feature of ZBrush 3.5 R2 is an imitation of the process of "molding» 3d-sculpture, enhanced engine, three-dimensional rendering in real time, which greatly simplifies the process of creating the desired 3d-object.

In this new series from Aaron Sims, he reveals his process for building the 3D world of his project Tethered Islands. In this lecture, Aaron demonstrates his techniques for sculpting character textures using ZBrush. Aaron shows the basics of using sculpting tools, and covers how to use alpha textures for applying detail to a character. This DVD contains a library of over 150 pre-made alpha textures which are available for your own projects. Aaron also illustrates how to make your own custom alphas using Adobe Photoshop.

In this demonstration the instructor creates the high res version of a complex modular fountain from scratch with 3ds Max 2010. The sculpting portions of the video are done twice, once in Mudbox 2009 and again in Zbrush 3.1.
This is a 2-Disc Release with over 8 hours of demonstration and has something for everyone.

In this DVD, Kevin guides the more advanced modeler through the steps of laying out UVs on more complicated organic objects, where no single simple projection will work. Kevin provides a clear approach to breaking down objects into pieces that can be laid out and reassembled. Starting with a dollhead model, Kevin covers how to combine different projections and use the Relax and Unfold tools to get the desired results. He then discusses UV layout solutions for clothing and more complicated objects like a horse skull. Kevin then shows how to utilize his favorite tool, UVLayout by Headus, which can really speed up your workflow by automating the process of cutting up the model and projecting onto it, while maintaining a consistent scale.
Finally, Kevin explains why in production it may be necessary to have multiple UV sets and what the specific requirements are for programs like ZBrush and BodyPaint. Intended as an advanced tutorial on production UV layout techniques, Kevin's many years of expertise inform this clear and "holistic" approach to modeling and UV work.

This video is first of a three part series on ZBrush 3.5 and the new ZSketching tools. This sculpting video contains more than 2 hours of professional training, and is hands-down the best training series for beginning ZBrush modelers we have ever seen.
Leigh starts off by creating a ZSphere skeleton to support the "muscle" structure ZSpheres from ZSketching. Leigh has a very good working knowledge of the human muscle anatomy and in this video he shows you how this knowledge can help your sculpting work.

This video is last video in a three part series on ZBrush 3.5 and it’s new tools. This texturing video contains more than 2 hours of professional training, and is hands-down the best training series for beginning ZBrush users we have ever seen. Leigh starts off by adding layers of complex blood, coloring and other skin textures to blend these layers together to start creating an amazing method of creating realistic skin.
Leigh then moves on to adding veins and more dark skin tones. These items are key to making your creature / character look real.

Keep symmetry on your model at the click of a button. No matter the pose. Check out what its like to sculpt in the new ZBrush. Upgrade your copy of ZBrush now.

ZMAPPER
Generate normal maps for any game engine or 3D program using ZMapper.

DISPLACEMENT EXPORTER
Export 32, 16 and 8 bit displacement maps as well as convert grey scale maps to normal maps using Displacement Exporter.

NEW BRUSH CONTROLS
Color Mask: Use polypainting on your model as a mask.
Backface Masking: All polygons with their normals facing away from your brush will be masked off.

REFINED INTERFACE
The ZBrush interface has been redesigned. Related buttons are grouped into visual categories making it faster for you to work.

POSEABLE SYMMETRY POSEABLE
Automatically create symmetry based on topology instead of world space.

Zbrush is an innovative, powerful, 3d model manipulation tool. You are able to sculpt a model as if it were clay, import and export objects between other 3d modeling software. Zbrush is best for modeling orgainc forms; humans, animals, plants, but of course you could do a lot more. In general the main method of manipulating the mesh is by use of a brush which displaces the mesh smoothly, as if adding clay or removing clay with a brush stroke.

Minimum System Requirements
OS: Windows 2000
CPU: PIII
RAM: 512MB (1024 MB recommended)
Monitor: 1024x768 monitor resolution (32 bits)

LightWave® v9 is the perfect combination of power, speed and value. Long considered one of the easiest 3D animation systems to learn and use, LightWave 3D® is versatile enough for any application from award-winning visual effects to stunning hi-res print graphics, dynamic video games, powerful motion graphics and more. LightWave offers modeling, animation, dynamics, volumetric rendering, particle effects and a motion picture quality rendering engine with unlimited render nodes making LightWave the centerpiece of the most cost effective 3D production pipelines in the world.

LightWave 3D is a complete solution right out of the box that includes three different operating systems to meet your particular production requirements: Windows® 32-bit, Windows 64-bit and Macintosh®. LightWave for each operating system comes with unlimited render nodes. LightWave also supports the latest generation of dual-core and multi-core processor systems at no additional cost.

LightWave v9 introduces new interface paradigms, such as a Node Editor for materials and surfaces, volumetric lights, and displacements. Exciting new physically correct cameras have been added, allowing artists to recreate any real world camera lens, and have footage rendered in LightWave match real world photography (a must for compositing CGI and real footage together). These cameras can also be extended into the hyper-real, or even bizarre, as any mesh object can itself be made into a camera and record a scene. The possibilities are limitless.

New techniques for displacement mapping, and support for ZBrush® displacements have been added. New shading models, such as Blinn, Oren- Nayar, and Ambient Occlusion now allow for a tremendous versatility for artists no longer bound by the original shading model in previous versions of LightWave. Of particular note are the new shaders for sub-surface scattering, anisotropic specular and refl ection shaders (which allow for hromatic aberration), easy to use and offering a spectacular visual impact.
