Begin by getting to know your teacher, Luis Gómez-Guzmán. Hear about his professional career as well as the influences that inspire him and the characters he creates.
Next, Luis gives you an introduction to ZBrush and how it works. Explore the interface and the viewport before learning how to use the program's essential tools and features for modeling.
Once you feel comfortable in ZBrush, search for references to find inspiration for your character idea, from illustrations and photos to color palettes and poses.
Now it's time to get to work! Start by sculpting basic shapes, playing with volume and symmetry. Then, add details and a few simple layers of color.
Finally, Luis teaches you how to put the finishing touches on your bust to give it a more realistic look, including textures, color accents, and lighting.

Sculpt and model the bust of a 3D character, adding texture, lighting, and color, and create a turntable to provide a 360º view of your model.
You can also make a brief video showing the steps you followed to share your experience with other students or include in your portfolio.
Illustrators, graphic artists, designers, and anyone who wants to get started in 3D art and learn to work with ZBrush.
No previous knowledge is required to take this course.
As for materials, you need a mid-range to high-end computer with a 3D sculpting program installed, preferably ZBrush.

Curso muito bom para iniciar no mundo 3D utilizando a ferramenta apresentada, ZBrush. Para os veteranos é uma boa forma de treinar e aprender algumas dicas também, e praticar mais pelo desafio.
Compré este curso que me enseñó lo básico de Zbrush y después de más de 7 años ahora soy profesional de 3D character art. Bueno, después de mucho llover. Zb no ha cambiado mucho su interface ni su workflow, han añadido nuevas cosas, claro, pero aunque sigas un curso de hace años te servirá mucho igualmente. Gracias profe.
Muy buen curso, sencillo, explica lo básico para comenzar a usar el software y sus ejemplos son breves y concisos, muy recomendable si eres nuevo en esto. Si no sabes usar el programa revisa bien antes de comprar otros cursos ya que consideran que sabes y solo modelan. Suerte
Está bien explicado, muy buen curso
Está bien explicado. Muy recomendable si es tu primera vez con el software. E incluso si es tu primera vez con el moldeado en 3d.
